Dere's nodding seems to stop EN-,
Dey fight und yell like mad;
Mine men chust drop their rifles
Und holler "Kamerad"

Und gas, or camouhage,
Und working dose machine guns,
Or trowing a barrage,

Und dere, of course, would stay.
In place of dot, dose Sammie bows

Dot, Colt, wass mine mistake.
I've sat oop nights chust scheming
Dose Yankee pigs to kill;
Instead of gedding frightened,

Now, Colt, you know I've always been
A vaithful vriend to you,

HUNS POISONED FOOD
AND WATER THEY LEFT
Internal Machines and Dcvilish
Devices of All Kinds to De
stroy Our Soldiers.

A New York Times correspondent with
the American Army in France, writing
under date Of August 10, gives this ad-
dltional light on the Hun as a soldier:
THE Americans are steadily lettering
their positions north Of the Vcslc, to be
ready for whatever task may be given to
them to do.
CAS- our engineers clean up the territory
from which the Germans have retreated
they continue TO find hundreds of internal
machines of all sorts. A favorite brand
was to arrange the branches OF trees to
look like the camouflage Of a door OF a
dugout; when brushed aside they would
set off mines.
Bombs of great strength have been
found in foul rubbish piles, which would
naturally be burned. Loose boards were
arranged on stairways so that the step OF
man would detonate n charge. In a
number of instances a large number OF
big shells have been placed In pockets
under roads, arranged so that the weight
of passing cannon would explode them
"Thc most novel Internal device was TO
arrange barbed wire entanglements so
that attacking troops would explode
mines. Not only did the Germans leave
their Internal machines behind, but
poisoned food and water also marked
their backward trail

FALL OF THE WINTER PALACE

In her article on "The Fall OF the Win
ter Palace at Petrograd, in the August
Century, Bessie Beatty thus describes the
members of the Kerensky cabinet as she
saw them on the first night OF their short
lived triumph:
AT that moment there was a clatter
ON the stairs, and | turned 10 see the mem
bers of the Provisional Government file
slowly down. Konovaloff, vice-president
of the cabinet and minister of trade and
industry, came first Tretiakof of Moscow
president of the economic council, followed.
Behind him was the tall, dark, slender,
handsome figure of the young foreign
minister, Tereshchenko, who cast an
amazed glance In my direction as he
passed Next in line came the frail, gray
little figure of kisbkln, minister Of public
welfare, and after him two military men
in uniform. Gen. Manikovsky, acting min
ister of war. and Gen. BorisoH Among
the others were virtually all the remaining
members Of the kerensky cabinet.
"Some of them walked with defiant
step and heads held high. Some were pale
worn, and anxious, One OF two seemed
utterly crushed and broken The strain
Of that day of anxious waiting, and that
night under the capnclOus guns of the
cruiser Aurora, coupled with the weeks
when cabinet crisis had followed cabinet
crisis, had proved too much for them.
They marched silently off across the
square, headed for the Fortress of st Peter
and St. Paul, rising grlmly out Of the dark
ness beyond the Neva.
II sat there silently watching them go
and wondering what this nights work
would mean in the future Of Russia and
the world The commissaire who had
motioned us 10 the seat indicated that we
might now go upstairs, and we passed
quickly TO the council chamber. We made
our way through the shattered rooms,
blazing now with million lights from the
twinkling crystal chandeliers. The silk
curtains hung in shreds, and here and
there on the walls was the ugly scar Of a
recent bullet On the whole, the des-
truction was much less than we had ex-
pected TO find it, The attacking force had
gone about its work determined 10 take
the palace, but 10 take it with as little
bloodshed as possible, and in the lulls be-
tween storms they had made frequent at
tempts to break the resistance by fra
termination. None of the defenders had
been killed but six of the sailors who had
fought in the open square had paid with
their lives for their revolutionary ardor,
and many others had been wounded"

HOW TO KNOW OFFICERS RANK.

Ii may not be amiss to give here the
insignia Of the various grades OF officers
in our service. Second leutenants wear
no insignia of rank; they have clean"
shoulder-strap and many years In which
To fill il with the marks Of the successive
grades. These are: for a first lieutenant,
one silver bar and for captain two silver
bars; for major, a gold, for lieutenant
colonel, q silver oak leaf; for a colonel a
silver eagle. Generals wear stars-a
brigadier one, a major general two
acknowledgement three, full general
two and the coat of arms Of the United
States These marks are carried on the
shalIlder-siraps. On fuli-dress and over
coat sleeves, grades are Indicated by an
ornamental knot Of black braid beginning
with a single braid for a first lieutenant;
each promotion adds braid through the
rank OF colonel. Generals have two bands
of black mohair on their overcoats and on
full-dress coat, band Of gold oak leaves,
s,irmounted by one or two stars (brigadier
and -goneral). In field dress coat
the only marks are those worn on the
shoulder, and an olive-drab band around
the cuff, the same for all grades; in the
general staff this band is black.
The various branches Of the army are
distinguished by certain insignia, worn on
the collar, Thus the infantry, the cavalry
and the artillery weor crossed rifles
sabers, and cannon respectively;
the engineers, a silver castle; the
ordance, a shell and flame; the quarter
master corps, a sword and key crossed on
a wheel; the medical corps, caduceus;
the signal corps, crossed flags; the
Generals department, a shield; the In
speetor-Generals department, sword
and fasces crossed on a wreath; the Judge
Advocate-General's department, sword
and pen crossed on wreath.-Col G.
