CAPTURED BY HUNS

IN PICARDY, May 6.-Lieut. Col.
Grdffiths, who was killed by a
she'll as he was emerging from
his dugout, rests in a grave such
as he might have picked OUT him
self-within sight Of the enemy's
lines.
The usual funeral ceremonies
were impossible, because OF the
Germans proximity and the con.
slant bombardment of the Ameri-
can positions.
Without even flag wrapped
around the body, it was placed in
a long trench and buried beside
IL other American soldiers. The
burial party was few in number,
so as not to draw the boche fire.
The chaplain and others wore
tin hats and gas masks.
No American vOlley was fired
across the grave, as the body was
laid to rest, but the enemy shells
overhead hummed a requiem.

We able to get close enough TO

there were about 1000 Scotch

back from the front, some having

they were getting ready to go

TIME FOR MAKING
LOAN PAYMENTS

There seems to be some little mis-
understanding as to when the Liberty
Loan payments on the installment are
due.
The first payment if you did not
make it at the time of purchase Is
due May 4th. 1t is for 5 per cent OF
the amount of the bond you purchas-
ed.
The next, payment will be due
May %. 1t calls for 20 per cent
payment. Inc next installment
which calls for 35 per cent payment
falls due on July 18th, and the last
payment which is for 40 per cent i:
due~August 18th. Of course, there
is nothing to prevent anyone paying
up the entire amount on their bono
or bonds at any time.
