TALES OF THE v. C..
One Man and a
Lewis Gun
Rx ;ex,tanan4 p Il..I
TT WAS the first day of the battl
By Lieutenant J. P. Lloyd

TT WAS the first day of the battle
of Arras. The East Surveys had
n stormed the German first line
trenches earlier in the day and had
begun to consolidate the ground they
had won.
The attack on the second German line
was intrusted to battalion of the
Royal West Kents. But it was not i'm
mediately successful. The enemy had
had time to recover from his surprise,
and as the battalion emerged into the
open its ranks were swept by a storm
of machine-gun fire from Hengist
Trench, two hundred yards in front. It
was realized that in face of such fire
direct assault was impossible, and
bombing parties were told of to attack
two communication trenches on either
flank
Meanwhile, the East Surveys, in their
captured trenches, had not escaped
scathless.
Sergeant Henry Gator saw the men
of his platoon dropping all round him
silence the enemy's machine guns him
self. One Of his men volunteered to
accompany him, and armed with few
bombs apiece the pair scrambled over
the parapet and began their journey
across No Mans Land toward the Ger
man trenches. His companion fell,
riddled with bullets, when only fifty
yards had been covered, but Sergeant
Gator went on. A little further on he
picked up Lewis gun and few drums
of ammunition. Taking these with him
he held steadily on his way During
the whole Of this time he was in full
view of the enemy, who kept up con-
tinuous fire upon him, but, by some
miracle, he succeeded in entering
Hengest Trench without being hit
In the meantime the bombing party,
which had started up Havant Lane. the
communication trench on the right, had
met with an obstinate resistance and
were now held up by machine gun fire.
But in Sergeant Gator they found a
useful ally. From his position in
Hengest Trench he could see exactly
what was happening. Cautiously he
worked his way along the trench unit!
he was almost in the rear Of the en-
placement. The Germans never real
lied this new danger until it was too
late. A Lewis gun is very deadly
weapon at close quarters and not
man Of them escaped.
The bombing party pressed on up
Havant Lane, while Sergeant Gator ad-
vanced down Hengest Trench to meet
them. Caught between two fires, the
surviving Germans had nc choice but
to surrender. In all, more than hun
dred prisoners and f1ve machine guns
were captured and soon afterward the
whole of Hengest Trench was in British
hands.

mitted by five men. No doubt he
stands around and thinks that God
has answered his prayer. II the fate
of the country hung upon such fell
lows AZ he, why its doom is already
sealed.
The Power of Prayer
Now, we know that fervent pray.~.
backed up by perfect love, and an
unshaken faith will move God on His
Throne, even to the turning of the
world upside down. Wherever one
man could be found that would stand
upon these three things as God has
commanded, he has always been vic
torious.
When the king of Syria sent a
host of men to Dothan to take the
Prophet Elisha, why Elisha prayed
and God smote the host with blind
ness. Again, when Jerusalem was
threatened by the Assyrian army
Hezekiah prayed, and in one night
God destroyed $4,000 soldiers. Have
you ever heard of the "Big Berthas"
or the mightiest guns that are in
operation today of doing such deadly
execution in so short time But
for fear the editor will think that the
Lord has changed since that day and
time, | will refer him to Hebrews
1873, Jesus Christ the same yester-
day, and today, and forever"
Two Ways by Which Prayer May BE
The rich man who prayed In he'll
lprayed good prayer, but the prayer
was lost because he prayed too late
Showing very clearly that when ar
individual has passed into the nexi
life, he has passed beyond the stage
of prayer, whether he should pray
over on that side, or whether some
lone should pray for him over on thi:
| side. He is lost forever.
Secondly, the man who approaches
God with malice In his heart, hi.
prayer is a failure also. The Saviour
says in Matthew 5:23-2a, aTherefors
il thou bring thy gifts to the altar
land there rememberest that thy
brother hath ought against thee
leave there thy gift before the altar
and 90 thy way; first be reconciled t
thy brother, then come and offer tn,
gift.')
This shows the editor that repent
ance comes before prayer. Now, tbs
Black or Ethiopian people have some
thing against this editor and al
others who are like him, and no
nntii they remove these obstacles
viii their prayers ever reach the ear

135 w. i31st Street
Editor of The Planet:
Dear Sir Will you kindly permit
me to speak through your paper in
regards to what the Marshalltown
Times Republican had to say about
the five black men and the crime that
they committed out there in Iowa !?
1t is not strange that this editor
should set himself up as Judge and
jury too, but when he confines his
tribunal merely to the black rapist,
then he becomes odious.
Since rape is a heinous crime, why
is it that he cannot condemn all rap
lists, white or black Whenever q
black, or Ethiopian woman is insulted
by q Caucasian, or white man, he
seems to take cold feet-he has
nothing to say; but as soon as he
hears of some Caucasian, or white
woman being insulted by black man
then his ankles get hot Immediately.
He does not know that for every
white woman that is insulted by q
black man, there are twenty black
women insulted by white men. If
every white Inaa was lynched for in
gulting black women, in some dis
tricts there would not be enough
limbs ON the trees with which to ac-
commodate the lynchers.'
News Soft Pedaied
The editor speaks Of the News
being soft-pedaled for three days.
Well, he should have known that
kind OF news has been soft pedaled. I
Black girls, who have been working
out among white families, trying tt
make an honest living on. their return
homeward in the evenings, they have
been run through the wide oper
streets of the town, by fiendish white
men, sometimes to fall exhausted al
their mothers door. All this news
was 4goft pedaled.
Not long ago when white mar
rode up to the door Of ID black man:
house and offered him, as it after
wards was stated, 5000 for The vir
tue of his daughter, this news wal
also soft-pedaled." In fact every
time black woman IS insulted by /
white man the news is asoft-pedaled.'

Pile be admitted into the sanatorium
under the same conditions as white
persons and that no distinction be
drawn between colored and white peo-

of the Most High Cod
Whom does the editor blame for
making such laws that force some
black men to become animals? Then
because some of them act like ami
mails, they are doomed forever Whom
does the editor blame for this
"densely ignorant black man.? Whom
does he hold responsible for such Ii
big discrimination in school funds
that in some instances white child
gets as high as $4,000 to the black
child's $1.00 for educational pur
poses?
The Power of the Little White God
Why does not the editor take a
little time and tell his readers that
right at this time alien enemies have
privileges that black people have not.
Let an alien enemy woman and a
black woman buy railroad ticket
from New York to New Orleans, in
cluding sleeping and dining accom-
modations which one will go through
10. X. and which one will be held up
at the Mason and Dixon line? The
little editor that is trying to gain so
much notoriety reminds me Of the
fellow who, while keeping the wolf
away from the door. let bear get
| in through the window.
But on the other hand, If the black
woman should take a little white god
along in her arms, not only would
she 60 through with the best of rail
facilities, but the very best hotels
would be open. to her and not only
SO, this little white god would be her
passport to any place in this life and
| in the life to come, except Heaven.
Therefore the editor from the Hawk
| eye State ought to see that this is
idolatry and as the Most High is a
jealous God, He viii destroy idols
and idol worshippers.
Watch the SUN.
On one occasion when Christ was
lpassing the people made great dem
lonstration, certain of His enemies
told Him to rebuke them, but He
told them that if they should hold
their peace that the rocks would cry
out. This shows clearly that God il

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 5.-Pros-
poets for an early peace aren't to in.
terfere with the framing of the eight
billion dollar war revenue bill now be-
fore the senate committee on finance.
Members of the committee said there
would be no halt in the revenue pro-
gram. In the absence of Chairman
Simmons, Senators Smith of Georgia,
Thomas of Colorado and Smoot of
Utah were in substantial accord thai
the eight billion dollar bill would be
passed regardless of the outcome OF
the peace movement.
The cost of the war to the U. s. has
already been enormous, estimated costs
of rehabilitation and reconstruction are
yet to come. A tax bill to raise eight
billion dollars is regarded today as
Just as essential as when the house
began to consider il several months ago.
In a large measure the money has al
ready been spent and taxes must go
hand in hand with bonds to pay for
Americas participation in the war. and
possibly for the liquidation Of some OF

lieve that in the long run this country
would not demand payment of all the
