Our artillery had put a barrage Of

back re-enforcements.
1 trained my machine gun on their
trench and its bullets were raking the
parapet.
Then over they came, bayonets glis-
tening. In their respirators, which
have large snout in front, they look
ed like some horrible nightmare.
All along our trench, rifles and ma
chine guns spoke, our shrapnel was
bursting over their heads. They went
down in heaps, but new ones took the
places of the fallen. Nothing could
stop that mad rush. The Germans
reached our barbed wire, which had
previously been demolished by their
shells, then it was bomb against bomb,
and the Gevil for all.
Suddenly my head seemed to burst
from q loud "crack" in my ear. Then
my head began to swim, throat got
dry, and heavy pressure on the lungs
warned me that my helmet was leak
ing. Turning by gun over to No. z, l
changed helmets.

removing my smoke helmet. How de-
licious that cool, fresh air felt in my
lungs.
A strong wind had arisen and dis
persed the gas.
They told me that had been "out"
for three hours; they thought I was
dead.
The attack had been repulsed after
hard fight. Twice the Germans had
| gained q foothold in our trench, but
had been driven out by counter-at-
tacks. The trench was filled with their
lead and ours. Through periscope

A bullet had gone through 1t on the

gas had penetrated through the hole
made in the cloth.
Out Of our crew Of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all Of the dead
excepting those in No Mans Land. In
death there is not much distinction
friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the r. A. M. G. got busy with theil

Sound is valuable asset in locating
a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts
this obstacle by placing two machine
guns about one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty yards apart. The gun
on the right to cover with its fire the
sector Of the left gun and the gun on
the left to cover that Of the right
gun. This makes their fire cross: they
are fired simultaneously.
By this method 1t sounds like one
gun firing and gives the Germans the
suppression that the gun is firing from
a point midway between the guns
which are actually firing, and they ac-
'!cordingly shell that particular spot.
The machine gunners chuckle and say,
''Fritz Is brainy boy, not 'alf he
Iain't."
i But the men In our lines at the spot
being shelled curse Fritz for his igno.
rance and pass a few pert remarks
down the line In reference to the ma.
chine gunners being "windy" and
afraid to take their medicine.

stakes he stretches a curtain made out
of empty sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain in water and fires
through it. The water prevents it
catching fire and effectively screens

Many things like these, and others Of
broad scope, could usefully be done by
central body in Washington. But
when we ascertain that it is contem-
plated that a mines administration
shall dictate to manufacturers how
they shall do their manufacturing, we
experience feelings of alarm. When
the most experienced of our crucible
manufacturers says that it cannot sue
cessfully make crucibles out of Ala
bama graphite, after investing much
of it's own money in the effort, and
governmental bureaus say it can, we
are disposed to give the more weight
tation to him would mean fewer cru
cibles, We think. just as when London
undertook to make plans for the Brit
ish shipbuilders the result was fewer
ships. Alas! that at this late day
oliicialdom has not learned this lesson,
and even while we are mourning over
our aircraft fiasco.
The right kind of a minerals and
metals board can be created within
the war industries board. Under the
terms of the Overman bill, that will
soon become law, all scattered and
conflicting interests in minerals and
metals can be centralized and coord-
mated by presidential order, No add
ditional legislation is needed for that
All other necessary purposes can best
be done by the creation of war
minerals corporation on the lines of
the war finance corporation, with an
appropriation, with the right to buy
and sell minerals and metals and with
the right to take over and operate idle
mines (if there be any such). This
would be the simple, businesslike
method, which would not only be more
effective in practice, but also would
avoid the economic controversies that
are likely to delay, If not prevent, ac-
ton by the senate. But If bin on
the present lines is to be forced, GER
tainly it should be made clear that it
is not to apply to mines and metal
lurgical works of copper, lead. zinc
etc, in which the substances men
toned in the bill are produced as
by-products or as subsidiary products,

duced as officers of the Nom Partisan
league.
This intrusion was made without
request or excuse, but all were treated
with our usual courtesy.
AN attempt was made to expound
the purpose and tenets of the league
but we declined entering into any dis
cussion of the subjects named, but IL
reply to the direct question as to
whether the church had forbidden its
members to join the league we ans
wered that the church did not inter-
fere with the political freedom of its
members, but left them TO their free
agency.
1--WE explained. however that our
personal opinion was that any attempt
to organize a third party was not only
unnecessary but unwise, particularly
while the nation was engaged in a gi-
gantic war; and that the two great
and historic parties were sufficient to
correct wrongs and establish good
government.
1.-The chief spokesman of the group
complained that he had been misrep-
resented and DETAINED by members of
the church. and was reminded that
these matters were to be settled by
the local authorities where they resid
ed. Also when he expressed the fear
that opposition to the movement he
was engaged in would create division
among the members, he was cautioned
to be careful that he did nto cause the
very thing he appeared to deplore.
I'VE did not in any way endorse or
encourage or excuse the so called
league which claimed to be Non Par
tisan, but was evidently a scheme to
fern a new party. or to favor the
collection of money under the pre-
tense that it would help to correct
evils existing. but on the contrary
gave it as our personal opinion that
the movement was against the general
interests of the public.
However, we maintained that the
church did not undertake to control
the political actions of its members.
I'VE were taken by surprise when
the applicants for an interview as "a
bishopric form Idaho" brought in per-
sons not members of the church on
matters with which the church as an
organization has nothing to do, and sc
with the advantage taken to parade
the matter before the public in man
ner to mislead the unwary and aid a
cause which does not have our indv-
idual support nor our appreciation.
Yours respectfully,

Use Of Compressed Air.

Compressed air hoists. pumps and
drills are fast displacing steam power
in the Missouri Kansas oklahoma
zinc-lead region. As far as economy
lis concerned it has been demonstrated
that with direct connected gas driven
air compressors the entire shaft sink
ing equipment can be operated much
The only reason that compressed air
dis not generally used is because pro-
per precautions aer not exercised to
prevent engines and pumps freezing at
the exhaust.
