.lage. But was it not suspicion that the terrible monsters should wander up and down like this-were they blind or were they? Yes. that was it. they were afraid of the Silesians And now ar rived one of those critical. moments when neither generals nor guns matter, but only the heart of man. If the Siiesians had withdrawn from the village-whieh no one could have taken amiss under the circumstances-the village would have fallen into enemy hands at the first rush.
 But no. the Silesians began to match their wits against the monsters. They grew bolder and bolder, firing and bomb ing the tank as 1t wended it's way hither and thither probably waiting for in- fantry which did not come. The Silesians fired rifle bullets down the barrels of the tanks guns and threw bombs into every aperture. It was finally captured. But if the tanks, as no doubt was the intention, had been supported by infan- try, the village would have been taken in the first rush"

WATER POWER TO
 MAKE CHLORINE GAS
By HOLLAND

! New York February 2.--(SpeciaL) While the government would prefer that
 there be no detailed statement or statis- tics respecting an order which it is now | about to place or has placed for very l important intuition of war, nevertheless | there is no objection to general state- ment. The government authorities have bean for sometime anxious to secure apparatus by means of which chlorine gas in very large amounts can be manu- factured. The purpose evidently is to supply our soldiers in France with the lrstrumentalities by means of which quantities of this dangerous gas can be
 used while our soldiers are actually fighting.
 1t Is essential for the manufacture ot this gas that electrodes be used. And it so happens that the greatest supply ot
 this apparatus can be furnished by some
 of the industries established among the great industrial plants at Niagara Falls.
 The water power furnished by the Mag ara river which is converted into cleo
 tricity is utilized for the manufacture of these electrodes. The government would like to be in possession within year of several million pounds of this appa- ratus. The exact amount required by the government should not be reported at this time. But the fact that repre- sentatives of the government are now or recently have been at Niagara Falls with intent to place contracts for the manu-
 fracture of millions of pounds of these electrodes which are hereafter to be used
 in France or Flanders in military op-
 erations employing deadly gas is one Of several demonstrations recently made that the government is looking far ahead,
 perhaps as far ahead as 1920 iAZTaking
 preparations for maintaining military
 service in France. The incident also
 makes it clear that it Is the determna-
 tion of the government to fight the war
 to a victorious finish.
 But curiously enough there arises an
 embarrassment due entirely to recent
 governmental action. The federal author
 ities have for prudent reasons consider ably curtailed the use of hydroelectric
 power at Niagara Falls. This curtailment
 has affected the several industries there whose product is electrodes. So 1t has been necessary to hint to the govern ment authorities that if millions of
 pounds of this apparatus are required, some of it speedily, so that it may be early sent to France, the government should rescind its restriction of the use of hydroelectric power at Niagara, at least so far as it affects this industry.

 Mrs. F. B. Hill, Bessemer, super intendent of the soldiers and sailors department for the state, has sent out the following appeal to the different
 unions for aid and cooperation in her work: Dear Co-Worxers:
 As superintendent of the soldiers and sailors department for the state
 ask your cooperation, as I need this assistance and your patriotics service. There are several camps in our state and the opportunity for service Is
 great and one in which our great or- ganization has led for more than 25
 years.
 Our state president told us of the
 ''hut 56" which has been adopted by
 us in Montgomery, and which is un-
 der the supervision of the beloved
 president of the Montgomery union,
 Mrs. j. B. Chatfield, who has written
 me a most interesting letter full of in formation ir regard to the needs of "the
 hut" and from this letter I quote that
 each union may undertake one of the needs as its own especial service for
 our soldier boys.
 Mrs. Chatfield speaks at first of the Christmas cheer offered 500 boys, q beautiful Christmas tree brightly dec orated and bearing on it's branches pretty banks of candy, this being most desired as a treat by the boys. Every bag was tied with ribbon and Christ mas card.
 or course, a homelike appearance is striven for. One of the churches is to furnish the curtains. A committee of ladies meets there every Wednesday and Saturday with needles and thread to sew for the boys who need this attention. The hut has piano and graphophone There are reading rooms where the boys do their writ ing.
 In the way of reading matter 1t is suggested that 'good fiction" that boys will read, magazines and fresh papers, subscriptions to one or two local papers, Christian Advocate Ala bama White Ribbon, Union Signal be among the things given fo rthe hut. among the things given for the hut the Union Signal
 Testaments or just copies of the gospel of St. John are asked for. The last named can be had for or cents. Wall pockets are kept full of good clippings and pretty pictures Each and everyone of our unions can help in this work, and beg of you to have this matter brought before your ladies at the earliest moment. Papers, clip pings, etc, can be addressed to Hut oo, Ndiip oleFluan, montgomery, Ala Then we have the camps at Annis- ton sending out a plea for aid in fur nishing convalescent ward in the hospital there. Information in regard to the matter can be obtained from Mrs. w. b. Dry, Tyler Hill, Anniston, Ala.
 Hoping you will take up this work at one or both places (the hut is a state word, however, and think has the precedence over tho other; it must
 be sustained through the efforts of our loyal women, who arc ever ready to demonstrate their patriotism). I sug- gest if you have phonograph records that you have tired of couldn't you send them on to the hut? Also music that you no longer use. Sacred quar- tets, duets or other songs. The sol- diers love to sing and this will give them much pleasure.
 Those who wish further information | or suggestions can write to me and
 I promise prompt reply. Sincerely yours MRS. F. B. HILL.

more still; they have overrun our for ward position
 The silesians tucked their heads. for their heads. Hurrahl One was struck and then another and another. But the one heard the rattle and the snaffle that others came on without a pause, and now they made, and the silesians sniffed the sweetest smell of the sugar-white smoke which the creatures breathed. The foremost tank fired like mad with flashes of flame. The riflemen on the barri- cade stood rooted to the spot like a man who has caught his foot in the rail- way and sees the express approaching.
 Ind now the first tank is so close that one feels oneself already crushed and smashed into a pulp. But the Silesians-they showed some smartness- fled from their posts into the houses and gardens. One moment the village was like an ants nest on which man trod, and the next, when every man had found his retreat, everything looked like a place of the dead.
 One of the tanks came stamping into the village. There are moments even in the bitterst fight when there is a ray of humor like feeble sunlight flicker ing through fog. There was such a moment in the midst of the horror at Fontaine. Was it not amusing to watch the stupid monster rnl, np the High street, where there was not single liv- ing Silesian left? It went up, it went down. It grunted wickedly from sheer rage because it could find no victims The bores of it's small guns shouted around, and fired as If they could find something living, but always too high. And so they went clip-cIap up and down the street, like the festival car at CT rni- val time. The Silesians peered out into the side streets As soon as tank showed snout at a street corner they showered him with bullets
 "'But where are the Tommies?' asked one of the Silesians. Indeed, Tommy seemed to have lost his tanks, for no I,nclish infantry Yentured into the viI-

Aunty's Correction

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
 Reference in Washington club was made to the happy faculty that some people have of rising superior to an embarrassing situation when this anecdote was fittingly related by Sem ator Lee S. Overman of North Caro- lima:
 Some time since little Bessie was taken on a railway journey by her young aunt and aunty's fiance. Every thing ran along as monotonously as all railway trips until the train en- tered a dark tunnel, and then sud- denly there came the deliciousN smack of a sweet kiss and the voice of a child.
 "oh. aunty." appealingly exclaimed innocent little Bessie, please kiss me. toov'
 Some situation, but aunty was quite equal to 1t. Before the passengers could break into a tickied litter she was calmly addressing the child.
 "It Is incorrect to say Kiss me two.' Bessie dear.'' said she. You should say Kiss me twice."
