ELBA's SUPPLY or IRON ORE
Hines Have Attached O New Import
snce to the isiand-NapoIeon Was
Held Prisoner There.

The Island of Elba, celebrated as
the place where Napoleon was i'm
prisoned in 1914, has since Italys en-
trance into this war attracted much
attention as the location of valuable
iron mines, writes correspondent.
In view Of the scarcity of iron mines
In Italy and the difficulty Of transport
ing ore or pigs from the United States
for use In the munition factories the
mines of Elba have given new i'm.
portance to the island. Travellers on
the Genoa Rome Express, which skirts
the seashore of the mainland, permit
ting view on clear day of the blue
island rising out Of the water six miles
distant, think rather Of the tall foun-
dry stacks in the foreground at Piom
bino than of the great soldier Of other
wars.
In the days before the war this ex-
press stopped at Campiglia to put off
tourists for Piombino and Elba. To
day 1t stops to put off business men,
skilled iron workers, italian soldiers
and their Austrian prisoners informed
on the island. The side track at Cam
plglia has been enlarged since the war,
too, for the purpose Of handling the
large quantity of iron freight brought
over from Elba. Napoleon's name has
almost been forgotten ON the island, SO
busy are the inhabitants with war
work. SLOW can l get to the villa San
Martinez" visitor arriving on the
stone wharf of the harbor inquired OF
q workman. The workman looked at
the visitor blankly, when the visitor
added: "You know, the place where
Napoleon used to live" The man shook
his head. "Tm newcomer here. New
or heard of the place"

CHAPTER X.
"The DAVIS Work"

| was fast learning that there Is a
regular routine about the work of the
trenches, although II is badly upset at
times by the Germans.
The real work in the fire trench
commences at shutdown. Tommy Is
like burglar, he works at night.
Just as 1t begins to get dark the
word 'stand to" Is passed from trav-
erse to traverse, and the men get busy.
The first relief, consisting of two men
to a traverse, mount the fire step, one
man looking over the top, while the
other sits at his feet, ready to carry
messages or to inform the platoon Off
Ger of any report made by the sentry
as to his observations In No Mans
Land. The sentry Is not allowed to
relax his watch for second. IL he Is
questioned from the trench or asked
his orders, he replies without turning
around or taking his eyes from the ex-
panse of dirt In front of him. The re-
mainder of the occupants of his trav-
erse either sit on the fire step, with
bayonets fixed, ready for any emer-
gency, or If lucky, and dugout hap
pens to be In the near vicinity Of the
traverse, and If the night Is quiet, they
are permitted to go to same and try
and snatch few winks of sleep. Little
sleeping Is done; generally the men sit
around, smoking flags and seeing who
can tell the biggest lie. Some of them,
perhaps with their feet in water, would
write home sympathlzing with the

CHAPTER TX.
Suicide Annex.

/ was In my first dugout and looked
around curiously. Over the door OF
same was a little sign reading "Sui-
eide Annex" One of the boys told
me that this particular front trench
was called Suicide Ditch" Later on
learned that machine gunners and
bombers are known as the Suicide
Club"
That dugout was muddy. The men
slept in mud, washed in mud, ate mud,
and dreamed mud. had never before
realized that so much discomfort and
misery could be contained In those
three little letters, M U d. The floor
of the dugout was an inch deep In
water. Outside 1t was raining cats and
dogs, and thin rivulets were trickling
down the steps. From the air shaft
Immediately above me came a drip,
drip, drip. Suicide Annex was hole
eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. 1t was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to 1t.
These steps were cut into the earth,
but at that time were muddy and slip
perry. A min had to be very careful
or else he would "shoot the chutes."
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's Tags with a
knife. 1t was cold. The walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
cut timbers, while the entrance was
strengthened with sandbags. Nails had
been driven into these timbers. On
each nail hung a miscellaneous assort-
ment of equipment. The lighting ar
rangements were superb-one candle
In a reflector made from an ammuni-
ton tin. My teeth were chattering
from the cold, and the drip from the
airshaft did not help matters much.
While / was sitting bemoanina my
fate and wishing for the fireslde at
home, the fellow next to me, whs vas
writing a letter, looked up and inno-
Gently asked, SAY, Yank, how do you
spell 'connagration'f'
| looked at him In contempt and an
swered that | did not know.
From the darkness In one Of the cor
ners came thin, piping voice singing
one of the popular trench ditties en-
titled:
Pack UP your Troubles IN your Old Kit
Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile"
Every now and then the singer
would stop TO cough, cough, cough, but
1t was a good illustration of Tommy's
cheerfuluess under such conditions

OUR BOYS "ovER THERE" EN-
JOY TOASTED CIGARETTES.

Through the patriotism of the citi-
gems of this country thousands of
smoke kits are being distributed to
American soldiersin France. Author
tiles agree that men in the trenches
need cigarettes almost as much as
food and munitions.
Doctors, nurses, and commanding
officers all join in the demand which
has awakened In this country great
movement to keep our boys supplied
with smokes.
Millions of the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarettes are going over"
all the time, There's something
about the idea of the toasted ciga-
rette that appeals to the men who
spend their time in cold. wet trenches
and bilIets.
Then, too, the real Kentucky Burley
tobacco of the LUCKY STRIKE ciga-
rette gives them the solid satisfaction
of pipe, with lot less trouble. Adv.

The speaker was Saburo Okabe of

"But all of u.s." he went on, 'see
through Germany as clearly as the
pretty Chicago heiress saw through
the title fortune hunter.
"'You love mer she said to the for

Pe.aderIess Gun Daddy.

An American inventive genius has
invented pOwderless gun which may
revolutionize land attacks. The gun,
which might be taken for a large
grindstone at short distance, Is re-
volved at great speed by an electric
motor, and is capable of firing hun
lreds of shots minute. The bullets
are carried In small cups, which hold
them until the gun reaches the proper
POSITION for their discharge by CEN
irifugal force. The Weapon Is ac-
curate at FIVE miles, Is cheap TO oper-
ate and is nOiseless.
