KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving In Y. M. C. A. "Hut"
In Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there is q notion that Y. M. G. A.
stamps and handing out pocket tesla
ments, let 1t be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganized a glee club, stage-managed
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivver ten miles and
back three times week to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was oho lhat CaLhe Hio way vi a WIN
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the "Y" hut after taps, carry
ing a red box under his arm.
SAY" said the master of arms,
we've got lot Of T. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night Tor tried to sleep) with enough
high explosive under his cot to blow
him half way to heaven.

LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Esklmos Said to Be Making Crafty.
Ing Progress as a Result Of Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks In
summer, the Eskimos had sun dance.
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange SAYS.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief In a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown. but tu-
berculosis Is common.
They whale in summer and trap In
winter. They are clever In trading,
good workers on land. water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools, If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and In winter frozen They
like food cooked, but 1t is matter Of
Indifference to them. They will bar
ter for the white mans food, eat a
hearty meal Of It, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents Of deer's stomach they
consider q great delicacy.

EXPECT ANOTHER
GERMAN DRIVE
ALLIED FORCES PREPARING FOR
MOST DESPERATE ATTACKS
OF THE WORLD WAR.
French, American and British Troops
Have Been Busy the Past Week
in Driving Enemy Back.-ltaIians
Going Forward.

London.-It is assumed by expert
are about ready to being another drive,
the most desperate of the war. What
ever Its magnitude the drive is apt to
be the decisive action of the war.
Whether it be on wider front than
the offensive begun May q, when the
enemy, all things considered, made his
most powerful effort of the year, or
whether 1t be Of more limited proper
tons, the results should determine
which way the tide is turning.
The landing of 100000 Americans
in France has given the allies more
confidence than they have had at any
time since last March, Although there
are only 100000 Of our men holding
sectors of the battle front our reserves
will give the allies numerical superb
GRITTY in the next battle, it is believed.
The allies have attempted to disar-
range the enemy's plans by process
of "nibbling." In reality the nibbles
have been rather large bites. Their
object has been to ascertain where the
enemy is gathering his forces to Sc
,, cure jumping off places" for the next
fights and generally to weaken the
| enemy.
In this task French, American and
British troops have been engaged.
Southwest of scissors the French made
several attacks, gaining ground each
time and taking hundreds of prisoners.
The most pretentious action of the
past week was carried out by the Aus
tralians, assisted by some companies
of Americans at lie Hamel. 1t was
in the nature of surprise attack.
Many tanks had been assembled back
Of the lines and had been sent forward
at night. Instead of preparing the
way with artillery fire of long dura-
ton, the Australians opened fire just
two minutes before the infantry event
over the top" The bombardment from
hundreds of guns was fast and furious,
but the main feature of it was a bar
rage of smoke shells. Behind the
clouds of smoke the tanks and infan-
try pressed on. The Germans kept up
a steady machine gun fire, but were
shooting at random because they could
discern no targets. Finally, when the
targets appeared, the Germans were
dismayed to find that they were op-
posed by land warships of steel. It
was hopeless to combat them with
the machine gun and they retreated
hastily.
In Italy the Roman soldiers, con-
tinued their cleaning up" process. In
the mountain region they recaptured
Monte di Valbella and the Co! del
Rsso after fierce fighting and took sew
eral thousand prisoners. After re-
storing their positions in this region
they attacked eastward thereof in the
Grappa region, gained ground and
took many prisoners.
The Czecho-Slovak (Bohemian)
troops operating in Siberia are said
to have defeated the Germans and
their allies, the Bolsheviki, at Ykater-
lnoslav.
Finnish and German troops are said
to be marching to attack the allies and
Russians who are guarding supplies
on the Thurman coast.

FISHERMAN ELECTRocUTED.
Encounters Live Wire in Milrace and
Meets Instant Death.

Ogden, Utah.-William NJ. Byrne,
chief operator for the Utah Power &
Light company at Riverside, met death
Sunday in most singular manner.
Byrne, with Henry Moore, another
power plant operative, entered the mill
race connected with the power plant
on a raft. A wire carrying 900 volts
was thrown into the stream and i'm
mediately some fish came to the sur
face.
Excited, Byrne jumped into the
water to seize an especially large fish,
and was stunned by the electric shock
he sustained. AS he threw one hand
out toward the raft, he touched a
charged wire and was electrocuted.
