A new sound arose In the darkness.
a sound which held for me a thrill as
vital and incomparably more alluring
than the hint Of distant battle. 1t rose

which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered. descended and broke off. We
stood motioniess. listening with all oul
ears. and again It came. Enthusiastically

TUESDAY. AUGUST 6, ls1sl

WHEN former Senator Colgate an
nounced his withdrawal from the con-
test for United States Senator he also
said that he proposed to oppose Cover
nor Edge for that position. He did not
disclose his plans OF campaign. but the
appearance OF Congressman Edward
Gray in the list lends color to the be-
lief that this is one of Col. Colgate's
methods OF fighting the Governor. as
Mr.. Gray comes from Col. Colgate's 8
territory. The new aspirant was sec
retary to Governor Stokes and later be-
came the member Of Congress from
the eighth district, which comprises a
portion Of the county of Essex. His
entrance into the United States Sena-
tor field is, beyond doubt, to attempt
70 weaken the Governors campaign in
North Jersey, something which is dis
turbing the Colgate faction very much.
They know that George L. Record will
not seriously interfere with the Cover
nor's chances. so another candidate
had to be brought out. Mr.. Gray is a
very able and affable gentleman. but
Il Is question whether he will appeal
to the general public as the kind of
man to assume the high seat at Wasl :
tngton. That he will be strong in the
upper part of the state is certain, but il
y almost equally sure he will not reach
the goal Of his ambition.

other Of the warning nations.
Early In the war 1t was discovered
By the Italians that many lives could
be saved In skirmishing at close Qudr-
ters II the soldiers sarrfed or pushed
bags Of sand in front Of them, and the
present body shield has been an out
growth Of that idea.
They are made In the one-man and
two-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing In the Open, at
tached to the shoulders by Q pair of
light steel arms, and are long enough
to protect the. head and vital organs of
Q man standing erect. Lying at full
length, or even crouched. It covers him
completely. Each shield is pierced with
. small. round eyehole and an obiong
loophole for firing from. both Of which
may be closed by sliding door when
not In use.
The tS0-man shield Is principally
used in wire cutting. Il Is carried on
the back Of one man. who may also
work his rifle from a loophois In he

UNCLE SAM HAS
HIS DANDER Up
Must Recognize Peace Moves,
But Leaders Really Pre-
fer to Fight to the
Finish.
BY tho United Press.

Washington, Jan. S.-America will
push her war work without the thought
that peace may be drawing near, Sec
rotary of War Baker and other high
administration officials and congress
men are determined. There must be no
letting down of preparation. Peace.
they said, is now up to the Germans.
Lloyd George has stated the allied
terms and in so far as unofficial ex-
preston here goes, these are Americas
terms. too.
If Germany wants to reform herself
and agree to these terms the way is
open. But If she wants to fight on,
the allies and America are fully aware
of and ready for the bloody sacrifice
involved, all officials agree. They added
that ii wCuld be little short of treason
ana folly for this nation to slow up
10Y merely because the allies and leu
ons are getting more nearly together
through the statement of peace aims.
Though authorities. including men
high in the military councils of the ma
ton, see peace drawing nearer through
these statements of aims, IL they had
their way wholly there would be no
statement Of war aims. Instead there
would be a policy of blood and iron
which would make the German lines
crumbie and the kaiser beg for peace.
