GLAD TO BE FORCED OUT.

A Missouri saloonkeeper perhaps
expressed the sentiments of his fell
lows fairly well when on being called
to account for his violation Of the law
regarding the sale of liquor, he locked
tie door of his booze emporium and
remarked: 1--WE quit business for
good The booze business is dead
anyway, and I'm glad to be out of it."
We believe this voices the feeling Of
the majority Of the vets. The war
which has forced them out of bust
ness is at the same time offering them
the chance Of the ages to enter and
get start in legitimate industries.
One of the av0wed reasons for the
Presidents brewery closing edict was
the need Of men for the really essen
tial, win-the-war enterprises, and any
liquor dealer possessed of a scintilla
of self-respect and desire to stand well
with his fellow men will welcome this
opportunity to begin anew.-Union
Signal.

But the Turks were not as bad as
Fritz. They were just as good or bet
ter as fighters, and whole lot winter.
Often, when we were frying in the
trenches and not a drop of water was
to be had, something would land on
the ground near us and there would be
water bottle, full. Sometimes they
almost bombarded us with bottles.
Then, too, they would not fire on the
Red Cross, as the Germans do; they
would hold their fire many times when
we were out picking up our wounded.
Several times they dragged our wound
ed as close as they could to the barbed
wire that we might find them easier.

I used to wonder what Brown was

I was lonely, to tell the truth. ] did

I was really chummy with. That would
not have bothered me at all before
Murray died.
The other lad I spoke OF as having
been chummy with was Philippe
Pierre. He was about eighteen and
came from Bordeaux. He was very
cheerful fellow and he and Murray

Conducted by the National Woman s
THE MAN WHO CANE BACK.

Every newspaper reader knows Walt
Mason whose ripping rhymes are sent
all over the country by a press syndi-
cate. In recent magazine article
Walt has story of a s'Has-Been Who
Came Back" 1t is his own story. He
began his journalistic career at TWEEN
ty-two, soon became a victim of drink,
and was down-and-outer at fOrty-hve.
Then he went to dry Kansas, began
again at the bottom of the ladder and
climbed to the top. This is what Will
liam Allen White, editor of the En-
poria Gazette and well-known author
says Of him:
"When he (Walt Mason) wrote for
job on the Gazette he said that he
had all the degrees that could be con-
ferred upon him by a certain institu-
ton which claimed to cure bOOze-fght-
ers, and that he had, tried high re-
solves many times, only to wake up
and find the brewers daughter feed
ing his weeks salary to her favOrite
cat. He said he wanted before he quit
to try dry town. Now Emporia is
a dry town. 1t started dry. In 1851
that isn't misprint for it was sixty
two years ago, in an age when a
preacher could stew his soul in toddy
without losing aste-Emporia in the
charter Of the town company started
with prohibition clause. It did not
always hold the Rum Fiend away. But
1t always bothered him to get in. So
he never waxed fat in Emporia. And
for a generation Emporia, while not
bOne-dry, has not been moist.
"When Walt Mason came here the
town was fairly dry. Alcohol formed
no part of the towns conscious
thought. No one invited him to drink.
He heard no talk of drink: he saw no
one drinking, and to get liquor he
would have had to associate with loaf
ers and plug-uglies. SO Walt Mason in
dry town, having plenty of work to
do, did it well. And the town stood by
him and cheered him. Ten thousand
people became his friends. They are
his friends today"
'.It is ten years." says Mr.. Mason,
"since came to Emporia with my
one extra shirt and my $1.35. Since
prosperity overlook me I have received
fiattering offers from Chicago, New
York, and even from London. But
little old Emporia is good enough for
me-"
Moral "has-been" can come back

ENGLAND WATCHING.

On the eve of his departure for the
States after taking part in the prohi-
bition campaign in Canada, Daniel A.
Polling received the following signifi-
can't letter from Hon. David Lloyd
George, prime minister Of Great Brit
Elm. There had been no previous cor
respondence-the letter came unso-
tioited:
II am following with great interest
tie war restrictions On alcohol actu-
ally enforced and those under con-
sideration in the United States.
'We have ourselves not been
neglectful of the necessities imposed
by war. We have stopped entirely the
manufacture of spirits; we have cut
Gown the brewing of beer by more
than two-thirds and the hours during
which It can be sold to less than one
third.
"Should the exigencies Of war ne
cessitate further restrictions, we shall
follow with interest your campaign
for the enforcement of war prohibi-
ton in the United States Of America"

found lots OF dead Turks uncYer niles
of rock. where our guns had battered
the walls of the quarries down on
them.
We were fighting about this part OF
the country one time when we saw
three motor trucks disappear over the
side of hill going across country.
The detachment from the Cassard was
sent over on the run and we came
upon the Turks from those trucks and
several others just after they had got
out and were starting ahead on foot.
We captured that whole bunch-I do
not know how many in ALL They were
reinforcements on their way to part
Of their line that we were battering
very hard, and by capturing them we
helped the Anzacs a great deal, for
they were able to get through for a
big gain.
We held that position, though they
rained shells on us so hard all that
day and night that we thought they
were placing a barrage for raid, and
stood to arms until almost noon the
next day. But our guns gave back
shell for shell, and pounded the Turk
ish trenches and broke shrapnel over
them until they had all they could
do to stay in them.
Finally, our guns placed she'll after
shell on the enemy's communication
trenches, and they could neither bring
