His GREAT RICHES

Place In Which
to Live.

l have Just had wonderful CONVEX
sation with friend who is noted 70,
his generosity. I do not refer to money
because he has little. refer to the
generosity Of his thought and acts. He
Is always doing things for peOple-al
ways thinking about the other fellow
always helping.
One OF the remarkable characteris-
tics Of this man is his happiness. He
has the kindest face imaginable, the
sweetest disposition. He IS the riches,
man. | know, rich because he has the
most. Not money-but friends, brains
Ideas, knowledge Of the world to an
extraordinary degree, ability to enter
tain, ability TO listen, stories to tell,
remarkable experiences TO recollect
and to talk about.
Now for the conversation He asked
me what | thought was the most won
derful comment on life I had ever
heard or read. I could not answer
him, but l asked him for his choice.
What seemed to him the most won
derful and truthful thing he ever heard
or read? Here it is MS he quoted It
from Jean Jacques Rousseau:
The dead take to their graves. In
Their clutched fingers, only that which
they have given away"
looked at Rim-and saw in his face
no sign OF realization that the quota
zion applied TO himself. He had no
idea that uncOnsciously he was giving
expression to his own creed Of living.
He was as simple and honest and
naive as child. He admired Rous-
seau's idea, saw the truth Of 1t, loved
II, but never dreamed that ne himself
fs living embodiment OF ia man
whose hands are filled with riches.
Somehow as I walked back to the
office from lunch (where my friend
quoted RousSeau). thought that the
Idea was good one to pass on Here
we go through life, grabbing, grabbing,
grabbing-yet seldom getting anything
worth while. Money, fame and all the
rest-yet passing over the things which
in later years we might clutch to our
boSoms and find comfort In.
The war provides q great opportu-
nifty for all OF us to get rich-rich with
the rewards that come to those who
serve. Don't let the chance go by. II
you can't fight. give to the Red Cross,
give to the 7. NJ. c. A., buy Liberty

serve, spend. Spend that you may re,
ceive. Have some part in the common
lot. Do sOmething-the happy recol-
lection Of which you will carry with
you In the years to come.

n"l burst over our heads, which re suited in an even faster marching. The road used during the frs; march contained deep shell holes, which were filled with water. In the heavy dark ness men fell into these water holes. Thoroughly drenched. we continued our march. No attention was paid to obstacles in the way over which We were constantly stumbling. Speed was the only aim. Dead men and borses lay in the middle Of the road. but no one took pains to remove them.
 At dawn we arrived at a little will lace. where we haited. We took pos session and established as strong a temporary defense as possible in the fire permitted. Our position was es- t;.bli>hed behind a cemetery wall. New troops continued fo arrive. but all were badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted artillery and inachine-gun detacLments followed. These had some sort ot formation and while there was some disorder the panic. which character ized the other units. was missing here. They also showed evidences of having suffered losses, but nothing in com parisoL to ours.

CHAPTER yi.

We were once more aroused at eleven o'clock that night. and with the utmost haste made ready 10 resume our march. The n:ghr was pitch dark and the rain continued. At daybreak We passed the city of Sf. Menehould. This had moi leen harmed. From here we turned to the east. closely pressed hy 'he French and in the afternoon We reached Ciermont-en-Argonne. Once more we managed to get rest of sev- eral hours. Toward evening we pro- cceded again and maintained a forced march through the whole night. We were now more exhausted than ever, yet could not halt.
 The rain had stopped before ten o'clock in fhe morning at which hour we left the road and made camp There was general sigh of relief. for this long continued. wearing retreat had brought our troops Into state now become uncomfortable We began tc dig ourselves in. Befor. cur trenches were even half completed a literal hailstorm of shrapnel fell among US. Our losses were so great that Ii became impossible to remain We received orders to retire at once We marched over the fields until dark, when We began once more to dig in. We were now near the village of Ger nay-en-Dormois. IL was pitch dark and heavy fog lay over everything. Of the enemy we knew nothing. With the utmost silence and speed we dug our selves in deeply. stopping frequently to listen as hostile raiding parties ap preached. only to disappear quickly.
 Here we received our first re- endorsements. They arrived in long columns in the darkness. All were fresh troops-most of them reserves. The majority wore blue uniforms. This as well as the nature of their equip ment. indicated to us that they had been hastily fitted out and transported. None of them had ever heard the whistle of a bullet and many asked anxiously whether 1t was dangerous here. They brought numerous ma chine guns. and in an instant we had everything prepared for defense.
 At daylight the French began the at- tack. They made several onslaughts throughout the day but without sue cess. for our re-enforcements were large.
 No one realized at this stage of the battle that it was the beginning of a murderous. exhausting struggle for po- sitions.
 We were to fight here from the same trench. month after month. without gaining territory. The wounded, who lay in No Mans Land between the trenches. were left to perish.
 The French tried to rescue them un- der the protection of the Geneva flag. the emblem of the Red Cross. but we only sneered at them and shot 1t to bits. The impulse to shoot down the enemy surpassed every human feeling. The Red Cross flag had lost all its

were sent us. which were filled and used as n protection against bullets.
 The pioneers were relieved toward morning and gathered in q farinyard hch.nd the firing line. The farm hC'i been spared hy lhe canton. and even ;ll the stock remained. This booty was soon to be consumed Several hundred soldiers came and a wild hunt ensueG for ducks, chickens, geese, pig cons. etc. About five hli,.:lred of these were caught. after which everybody began cooking. Not far away so cows and heifers were seized and turned over to the field kitchens. Hay and grain were carried away. even the strawstacks and barns were torn down and the lumber used for firewooi. In few hours beautiful farm had be- come a ruin and tEe proprietor q beg gar I had seen the owner lD the morning, but he had Sudderly di>ap- peared with his wife and children, and nobody knew where he was.
 The next night we were sent into the trenches again. There was little to do so we talked with rhe men who had re-enforcc,i us fro!l the interior Of Germany. They knew absolutely nothing of our retreat from the Narne and were astonished when We pictured to them the events of tine last few days.
 The following morning we left the trench before dGyhr'ak and went into quarters at Ccrnay-en HoriaoiS. We were bileted in the middle of the vil- laGe in an abandoned house. Our field kitchens failed 10 arrive. so we pre- pared ourselves meat of fowl and whatever else we discovered. When ever anyone cSDicd chicken there Were twenty men racing for if. Toward evening long provision trains arrived. as well as fresh troops. They went to the front in long columns and re- Nevcd ;he exhausted men.
 soon the whole village was crowded witt soldiers. After rest of two days inc regular nightly picnecr service was resumed. Every night we were sent t6 the fTonf-line trenches to build wire obstacles. The French found us out by the noise required 10 set up the posts. so that we had fresh losses almost every night. We completed the task of setting Up barbed wire entan- elements in the sector assigned to us in about fourteen days. During this period we rested by day, but at night we went out regularly. But our rest had many interruptions. for the enemy artillery bombarded the village regu- larly. This always happened nt cer- tain hours. for instance. in the begin ming. every noon from twelve to two o'clock. fifty 10 eighty shells fell in the village. Sometimes they were Shrap- nel. sent over by the field artillery. We soon grew accustomed to this. despite the fact that soldiers of other detach- men!s were killed or wounded daily Once or twice during this noon bom- bardment a shrapnel shell fell into our room and burst without doing much damage. The room would be filled with dust and smoke. yet no one would think of leaving. This firing was re- peated daily with ever-increasiny vio- lence.
