God as We See Him

That heaven is kind of Gener- al Headquarters and God the Com mander-in-Chief is the way Con- ingsby Dawson, lieutenant with the Canadian Field Artillery, explains the religion of the trenches-for he says there is religion there. He writes in the current Good House keeping:
 When we think of God, we think of Him in just about the same way that a Tommy in the front line thinks of Sir Douglas Haig. Heaven is kind of General lHeadquartrs. All that the Tommy in the front line knows of an offensive is that orders have reached him, through the appointed authorities, that at zero hour he will climb out of his trench and go over the top to meet a reasonable chance of wounds and death. He doesn't say, I don't know whether 1 will climb out. never saw Sir Douglas Haig-there mayn't be any such person. I want to have a chat with him first. If I agree with him, after that I may go over the top IT and, then again, I may not. We'll see about it.
 Instead, he attributes to his Commander-in- Chief the same pa- triotism. love of duty, and courage which he himself tries to practice He believes that if he and Sir Doug las Haig were to change places, Sir Douglas Haig would be quite as willing to sacrifice himself. He obeys; he doesn't question.
 That's the way every Tommy and officer thinks of God-as a Commander in-C Chief whom he has never seen, but whose orders he blindly carries out.
 The religion of the trenches is not a religion which analyses God with impertinent speculation. It isn't a religion that takes up much of His time. It's a religion which teaches men to carry on stoutly and to say: I've tried to do my bit as best know how. guess God knows it. If go west today, He'll remember that remember how l never let pal down and how I played the game. So I guess He'll forget about my sins and take me to Himself
 That is the simple religion of the trenches as I have learned it-a religion not without glory: to carry on as bravely as you know how. and to trust God without worrying Him"

Gov. Brough has under the most careful and serious consideration the question of calling an extraor- dinary session of the legislature. He has received from 800 to 1000 let ters. petitions and requests for call ing the session, and there have been number of strong delegations call ing on him, especially from the bor- der counties, to insist that some re- lief be given.
 The governor has attempted to sound out the members of the sen ate and house on the subject, and has received a number of replies. At least five Of the senators, some of them supporters of the prohibi- tioR statute, oppose the extra ses- sion, on account of the expense, and for the further reason that they be- lieve the enforcement of the Webb Kenyon act by the federal author ities will provide all the relief nec- essary at this time.
 Gov Brough propounded two questions to the law makers, first if they would agree to waive their per diem and serve the few days necessary for their mileage; second lif they would agree to enact promptly statutes correcting the flaws in the bone-dry act and ratify the federal amendment, and ad- journ.
 The response has not been suf- ficient yet to determine what the sentiment of the majority may be, Never has there been such a pop ular demonstration as is taking the state by storm in the presentation of the War Savings campaign. A house-to-house campaign of Little Rock was made in three evenings last week by i,i00 workers, and they had wonderful success and found the spirit fine in all except the rar- est instances.

AMERICANS WIN
 IN THREE RAIDS
Drive the Germans From Trenches, Blow Up the Dup0uts, Secure Valuable Property, and Every
 Man Accounted for.

With the American Army in France, Sunday. March io. - De- layed. American troops, cooper ating with the French, have carried out three raids opposite the Amer ican sector in Lorraine. Two of the raids were executed simultaneously last night.
 The Americans swept past the German first line and penetrated to the enemy's second line, GOO yards back.
 The two simultaneous raids, one northwest and one northeast of
 tdeleted), were made after intense artillery preparation last ing for four hours, in which the German positions were leveled At midnight two forces, each one of - ldeletedl, with small French forces on their Hanks, moved upon the German ebjeetives behind q creeping barrage, each on front of GOO yards When the Americans reached the enemy first lines the barrage was lifted, so as to box in the Germanpo al both points.
 The men dropped into the ene- mys trenches, expecting hand-to- hand fight. but found the Germans had fled Continuing the advance, they went forward 600 yards to the German second line. All the time American machine guns were firing on each flank of the two parties to prevent the enemy from undertak- ing flanking operations, One French flanking party found two wounded Germans in dugout and took them prisoner. The Americans found one.
 The Americans remained for forty-five minutes in the enemy lines. They found excellent con- crete dugouts which they blew up, and also brough back large quan- titles of material and valuable pa- pers. While they were in the ene- my lines German artillery began a vigorous counter barrage. It was quickly silenced by American heavy and light artillery, which hurled large quantities of gas shells on the batteries.
 An American trench motar bat tery, the homes of most of whose men are - [deletedl partici- pated in the artillery preparations preceding the raid, helping to level the enemy positions. The artillery, both light and heavy, was manned by soldiers, mostly from (deletedl.
 The Third Raid
 Soon after these two raids had been carried out, the Americans staged another at a point further. along the line to the right. They went over the top after artillery preparation of l5 minutes in which the eHemy's positions attacked were obliterated. At this place the dugouts were found to have been constructed principally of logs. En- gineers accompanying the raiding party completed the artillery's work of destruction. The American infantrymen who took part in this raid are from - ldeleted) and the engineers from - (deleted).
 The raids were carried out skill fully and, hut for the fact that the Germans fled, more prisoners doubtless would have been taken. American gas shells are believed to have caused many casualties among the enemy No Americans are un- accounted for.
