chuckle from my mate brought me 20
my senses, and I feebly asked, "For
heavens sake, what was that7"
He answered. "Only a rat taking a
promenade along the ~sandbags." l
felt very sheeplsh.
About every twenty minutes the SEN
try in the next traverse would Ere a
star shell from his fare pistol. The
'plop" would give me a start Of fright.
I never got used to this noise during
my service in the trenches.
/ would watch the arc described by
the star shell, and then stare into No

darkness.
Once, out in front of our wire, I
heard a noise and saw dark forms
moving. My rifle was lying across the
sandbagged parapet. l reached for 1t,
and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
"Don't fire." He challenged in a low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot do you want us to click
1t from the BOches7"
Later we learned that the word, mo
challenging or firing, wiring party out
in front" had been given to the sentry
on our right, but he had failed to pass
1t down the trench. An officer had over
heard our challenge and the reply, and
Immediately put the offending sentry
under arrest. The sentry clicked

Tommy terms 1t.
This consists Of being spread-eagled
on the wheel Of q timber two hours O
day for twenty-one days, regardless OF
the weather. During this period, youI
rations consist of bully beef, biscuits
and water.
A few months later l met this sentry
and he cOnfided to me that since being
"crucihed," he had never failed to pass
the word down the trench when so or
dered. In view Of the ~Offense, the
above punishment was very light, In
that failing to pass the word down O
trench may mean the loss Of many
lives, and the spelling of some impOr

one Of the 100 lying"
I soon hit the hay and was fnst
asleep, even my friends the "cooties"
failed to disturb me.
The next morning at about six
o'clock I was awakened by the lance
corporal Of our section, informing me
that I had been detailed as mess or
derby, and to report to the cook and
give him a hand. l helped him make
the fire, carry water from an old well,
and fry the bacon. Lids Of dixies are
used to cook the bacon in. After
breakfast was cooked, l carried a dixie
OF hot tea and the lid full of bacon to
our section, and told the corporal that
breakfast was ready. He looked at me
in contempt, and then shouted, Break
fast up, come ana get It'll" 1 immedi-
ately got wise to the trench pariance,
and never again Informed that Break
fast was served"
It didn't take long for the Tommies
to answer this call. Half dressed,
they lined up with their canteens and
1 dished out the tea. Each Tommy
carried in his hand a thick slice Of
bread which had been issued with the
ratiOns the night before. Then l had
the pleasure Of seeing them dig into
the bacon with their dirty fingers. The
allowance was one slice per man. The
late ones received very small slices.
AS each Tommy got his share he i'm
mediately disappeared into the billet.
Pretty soon about fifteen Of them made
a rush to the cookhOuse, each carrying
a huge slice of bread. These slices
they dipped into the bacon grense
which was stewing over the fire. The

After breakfast our section carried
their equipment into a field adjoining
the billet and got busy removing the
trench mud therefrOm, because at s AS

and parade, and woe betide the man
who was unshaven, or had mud on his
uniform. Cleanliness is next to gOdli-
ness in the British army, and Old Pep
per must have been personally ac-
quainted with st. Peter.
Our drill consisted of %close-Order
formation, which lasted until noon.
During this time we had two ten-min.
ute breaks for rest. and no sooner the
word, Fall out for ten minutes" was
given than each Tommy got out a flag
and lighted it.

WHY THEY HAMMER WILSON.

LR. Mosley, of Byron, Ga. IN a
letter to the Macon Telegraph dis
c1sses in enlightening fashion the
nropaganda against the President
Onening his strong and convincing
ANALYSIS of the situation he says that
he desires to make a plea for more
worthy and generous Interpretation
of the motives and acts OF the PreSl-
dent"
The letter was written before the
Presidents address to Congress was
delivered. but it seems to make the
same appeal for fair play that was
made in the address In his conclud-
mo words Monday, Mr.. Wilson re-
minded his critics and maligners that
he could have no private thought or
.nurpose in his errand. He goes 10
-F,rrone from a high sense Of duty and
only that.
Mr. Moslev accounts for some Of the
+6erce fight On the President on the
on1v nlausible grounds. He truthfully
saws that the world war that IS al
ready won and so happily over was
not the great war cf humanity, and ne
continues: "The war between the
forces of Individual. national and in
ternational union, mutual good Will,
friendly cooperation and healing love
on the one hand and the forces op-
Dosing these on the other is the great
war vet to be won. Those who .hgnt
in this war battle for humanity, the
whole of humanity and not against any
,zrt of it. With the highest good OF
those who oppose as we'll as those
who co-operate as its goal, this army
goes forth to battle and surely the
God 4 things as they should be Will
not let it fail. And because President
Wilson appears to be the most lnsplr-
ed and inspiring figure in this battle,
we appeal for lineup with him, not
a. hero-worshipper of his personality,
Raut as co-listeners and correspondents
to Gods forward and upward call ana
urge to- men,
Mr.. Wilson is the accepted leader of
iustlv disposed men like the Georgia
correspOndent. The cOld-blOOded, self
3sh and designing element in the coun-
trv are bitter against him because he
ants humanity ahead of dollars. They
don't want him to go to Europe De-
aause thew know he will receive there
the greatest ovation any American
ever received and that he will return
with an increased prestige, which on
his ..eturn to-the United States will
Ia immensely valuable to him in his
work of further contributing to the
happiness and contentment OF the
Main people of the country. The eIe-
ment that shTieked it's opposition TO
the trip to Europe is the element that
will do most to combat the undertak-
, ings of the President when he returns
to America.

country in this most critical of all
times, does not give him pause.
However, and Notwithstanding
Roosevelt and all the croaking critics,
the good ship George Washington
steamst ahead, bearing the worlds s
greatest4cftizen and statesman, on the
most momentous voyage in history.
America and the world rest their
hopes and ideals in him. God has
brought him ito the kingdom for such
a time as this Our sacrifices should
not be in vain. When Woodrow Will
son returns, we shall have a strong
peace, a just peace, peace which
shall in future years deter the law
less nation desiring war, and healing
peace, and we trust that in the mercy
of God q great league of nations, a
democracy of peoples shall have been
formed which shall decree that the
crime of war shall be banished from
the earth.
So let the heathen rage and let the
papers imagine vain
put our faith in God and
in his servant, Woodrow Wilson.

THE HOUSE OF MURAT.

The Paris home of Prince Joachim
Murat has been rendered to President
Wilson as his abiding place during his
stay by the French Government, this
home having been offered for the pur-
pose by the prince. 1t is supposed
the home will be accepted by the
President, more especially because of
American traditional association
Prince Joachim Murat bears the name
Of former king of Naples, who fig
ured largely in French history in the
later days of Napoleon, having gone
down with the fortunes of the EN-
peror. While Napoleon suffered ex-
lie, Murat was court-martialed and
shot. His older son, Napoleon Achille
Murat, came to America where he
found cOngenial refuge, locating in
Tallahassee, Fla, for the practice of
law. He published number of works
IN political and social affairs in the
United States. and he and his wife

LET THEM RAGE AND RAVE ON.

Editor of The Daily News:
''The Anvil Chorus" of many news
Dapers on the departure of the Presl-
dent is not surprising, nor is the par
tisan outbreak of certain members OF
Congress. Many there are who wor-
ship at the shrine of precedent, ana
because no other President has gone
to Europe during his term or once,
conclude that the President should
not 20. They do not seem to recall
the fact that never before have the
United States been engaged in such
war, that never before has peace con-
ference been pregnant with such con-
sequences to the peace and happiness
of the world, that never before has
our country been fortunate enough TO
have as President the worlds ac-
knowledged leader of progressive
thought and policies with due apollo
x,ts GO the irrepresSlble TheodOreJ
and that never before has stricken
world called for the presence OF one
Of our Presidents at a conference 10
help heal the wounds Of a war. ana
prevent its recurrence The partl-
sans, led by the former President are
in full cry, but the proposed quarry
is, beyond the reach OF their hungry
fangs. They evidently think the re-
cent election for congressman re-
buke to the President, and that they
are safe in running him down. MI.
Mann, the Republican leader or the
house, an astute politician, saw the
danger and stopped the chase as 1ar
as he could, but of course no one could
stop the Irrepressible One. Such IS
his Jealous rage that the President
could not please him if he tried. II
Roosevelt had been President does
any one suppose that even the British
u navy could have kept him from the
peace conference? Is it not more
than likely that in such case he would
have assumed his constitutional pow
ers as cOmmander-in-chiefO of the army
and navy and led our troops in per-
son? The brilliant warrior OF San
Juan Hill and ArmageddOn would have
felt that Chateau Thierry and st. MI
hiel would have been incomplete with
out him. Mr.. Roosevelt is a great man
and a versatile one, and none should
disparage his services to his country,
but he has his great weakness; he
must rule or ruin. He could not rule
Mr.. Taft, therefore he ruined him. He
could not thereafter rule the Repub1i-
can party, therefore he smashed it, He
could not rule various individuals,
therefore he put them in his Ananias
club. He cannot rule Mr.. Wilson (God
be thanked), therefore he would dis
credit him. Good taste does not deter
him. Great possible injury to his
