The captain little knew when lie
tlfhed iii for the night OF November
- how soon he would get his revenge.
-eNt morning the Germans attacked
Alasnieres, and the brigade to the
right OF the troops holding the town
q forced to fall back. The brigade
In the town, however, stood firm and
fought the enemy off. Meanwhile,
waves Of Germans had swept by to
the south Of the town and were swarm
ing westward.
Captain Black came out of his head
quarters, south Of Marching, to find
five Germans already in possession OF
a great dump nearby. Black had in
his hand q heavy walking stick which
was his only weapon. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he charged the dump
alone and beat about him so f~iercely
that he Drained oil five opponents be-
fore they recovered from the surprise.
He had made good his VOW, but his
work was not finished.
Other Germans appeared west Of Les
Rues Vertes, Il southern suburb Of Mas
nieres. Black collected all the signal.

ants available, and with two companies
OF regulars delivered an attack toward
Rues Vertes. The Germans fell back
and fierce hand-to-hand fighting fol-
lowed. Black led his little army from
house to house, and as often rs the
Germans made a stand he drove them
out, until finally the whole suburb had
been cleared. with the exception Of
one machine gun. whose crew Of eight
men kept pumping bullets into the
British ranks.
Black charged this machine gun with
one orderly. Four other orderlles had
been shot down beside him previously.
and this n also was caught as the
machine gun was reached. Black then
attacked the Germans with a revolver
in each hand and shot down the Inst
man of eight. This cleared Rues
Vertes of the enemy and outposts were
established about the place. Black
had been wounded during the fighting.
but he held on to his command until
relief came next day.
This story is not the only one to be
related Of that bitter day about Mas
nieres. A regiment which had the
stilfest part of the fighting in the town
was made up of troops known MS "dIe
lards." and they fought oil day with
rifles and bayonets at close quarters
and never gave a step. During the
fighting the colonel had been wound
cd In one eye, and SO serious was his
injury that his other eye became use
less. His troops continued to be 50
hard pressed that It seemed probable
they would give way.
The colonel knew they needed all the
encouragement possible. He called for
an orderly. and, led by his servant, he
started making q round Of the front
line to speak words Of announcement
to his troops. For hours this blind
man, with bandaged eyes, kept up his
tramp among his men with his hand ia
that OF his orderly guide. This heroic
example WINS the Anal word for the
Tommies. They loved their colonel,
and they stood and died for him und
held their line.

 B. J.-No; the capitalists.
 U. S.-That being so, just think how they are trying to fool you with a stone that hey call half loaf!" These very capitalists who want the immi- grants are to be the ones to keep them out! They want the whole loaf of genuine bread that consists in your ballot, and they promise to give you a law which, acording to yourself, it is in their interest not to enforce!

BROTHER JONATHAN-There Wa! a Socialist Labor Party meeting the other day that should damn you Soc. ialists forever in the eyes of the work. CTS in this country.
 UNCLE SAM-Did it fire bombs.
 B. J.-No; it favored the importa. tion of pauper labor.
 |. S.-You are mistaken; what ii cid was to denounce the anti-immi- grafton howl
 E. J.-What is the difference.
 |. S.-A good deal. The -immi- grafton howl is fraud on the people
 B. J.-Do you call it fraud on the people to relieve the labor market?
 ' S.-That would not be fraud; but to make believe one wants to re- lieve the labor market and in that way gain the confidence of those in whise interst it is that the labor market be relieved, and armed with their con- fidence acquire power to overstock the labor market still more-that is the fraud.
 B. J.-In what way is anti-immi- grafton all that?
 |. S.-The labor market is over- stocked to the compositors did im- migration do that?
 r did it.
 |. S.-Thc labor market is over- stocked to the weavers; cid immi- grafton do that?
 B. J.--W1hy no; the steam and auto matic looms did it.
 l.. S.-And so we may go through the whole string of the nations in- Alustries. Machinery, born in this coun- try, overstocks the labor market much more by displacement than immigra- ion does. Now, igraton lays cInnot, in the very nature of things. he enforced, and their viola ton is hard t1 detect; on the other hand, the in in"y done Go ?"ol by privately owned m;,> hnery rnu,I e renee .cd l,y the popular ownership of it. When a pick pocket wants to rifle your right side pocket lie tips your hat on the left, he thereby throws you off your guard on the right and has free play. These Immigration howls are of that na- ture. In the first place. it sounds plausible to impute the hardship of labor to immigration; in the second place. the way to save all the good there is in the machine, and at the same time prevent it's ravages among the worl1men is not so clear It is, therefore, the veriest imitation of the pickpocket's trick to beat the alarm against immigration. By doing that even if immigration were wholly stopped, capitalists exploitation would continue unabated through the dis placement of labor by the machine. Tae capitalist would have engaged the attention of the workers with a ques- tion that amounts to nothing and would thereby draw their attention away from the real issue Don't you see the fraud?
 B. J,-But doesn't immigration do some harm? Won't you take loaf rather than nothing?

ONLY BUSINESS THAT OF WAR
Parisians in Every Walk of Life Have
But One Thought, to Defeat the "a
Hated Enemy. IA

In Paris one realized at last the
meaning Of the business Of war;" It
had entered into every phase of life.
AS our men commute to business, so
the Poilus commute to the trenches,
each trip Of uncertain length; and in
place of competition, financial or 9th
erwise, they go to business Of life
and death, writes William Beebe in
the Atlantic Monthly.
Few men could show the same vigor
and enthusiasm as do these Poilus. For
years they had faced high adventure
that most men know, if at all, only in
an annual vacation. To myself and to
others whose life work carries them
into dangers from the elements and
from savage men, war held no absolute
novelty. (The writer is a famous
naturalist.) But think Of the gunner,
formerly a travelling salesman for wom-
ems hosiery, Of the stretcher bearer
who was a foorwalker in depart
ment store! Did the florist whom I
met ever conceive that he would be re-
moved from sausage-balloon duty be-
cause Of unconq1erable air sickness3
Think Of the children In Paris old
enough to talk and walk, who have
never known q world free from univer-
sal war. and it will be easier to real
