About fifty of the Church Home

able TO get back because OF a serious

of automobiles. however, were prompt

was that each farmer was to get one
third Of the amount that had been
allotted to him and this third was to
come in two cars. II turned out. how

rived. the other having been side

There was considerable interest
here last Thursday evening on account
of "A strange waterfowl sent in by Paul
Neil. of Ebenezer, who had killed 1t
during the day on nearby creek.
The bird was nearly three feet In
length. It's breast was speckled like
a guinea and it's front was white. The
head was black with n white ring
around its neck, and its web feet,
built for padding were set so far
down as to appear to be Of but little
use for padding purposes. From q
cut in Webster's new international the
bird was identified as a loon, feeder
on fish in north temperate latitudes
and quite common in his native
habitat.

Gen. Leonard Wood is a Roosevelt
Republican: but nevertheless he IS
one OF the greatest living American
soldiers. and he is a truthful man.
What he says about the war may he
taken as straight goods. Here Is
what he told the people Of America
in recent speech:
This is war against efficiency.
a degree OF efficiency which the world
has never before witnessed. Do not
underestimate the strength OF the enc
nv YOU are sending your men against.
He is skilled in war, trained in arms.
wonderfully well led, and also brave
and daring. We may damn his meth
ods and condemn his morals and de-
nounce the object OF the war, but do
not let US make the mistake OF under
estimating his value as fighting ma
chine.
1T is not going to be an easy war.
The man who tells you that the enemy
Is exhausted and there Is going TO be
an easy victory tells you what Is not
true. II is going to be hard war,
and ii is wicked TO mislead our pco-
pie into believing that ii Is going TO be
an easy war. II Is going to he war
that is going TO try your very souis'
that will make you realize what war
is, as those Of our allies who have
been preparing for long time have
learned TO realize.
1T is n war of the American peo-
pie. a war in which everything we
have is engaged, in which everything
We have Is at stake.

LIVERY Position Must Be Held to
Last Man."-Eield Marshal Douglas
Haig, in a special order of the day on
last Friday addressed to all ranks or
the British army in France and in
Flanders" said:
Three weeks ago today, the enemy
began his terrific attacks against US
on fifty mile front His objects are
to Separate US from the French, to
take the channel ports and to destroy
the British army.
In spite Of throwing already, one
hundred and six divisions into the
battle and enduring the most reckless
sacrifice of human life. he has yet
made little progress toward his goals.
We owe this to the determined
fighting and self sacrifice Of our
troops. Words fail me to express the
admiration which I feel for the
splendid resistance offered by all ranks
OF our army under the most trying
circumstances.
Many amongst us now are tired. To
those I would say that victory will be-
long to the side which holds out the
longest. The French army Is moving
rapidly and In great force to our sup
port. There is no other course open
to us, but to fight 1t out
Every position must be held to the
last man. There must be no retire
ment With our backs to the wall and
believing in the justice OF our cause,
each OF US must fight to the end. The
safety of our homes and freedom OF
mankind depend alike upon the con-
duct Of each one Of US at this critical
moment"

1T Is not near as bad as / thought
il would be-" says Wallace. He says
the boys would work on the entangle-
ments for eight hours and then take
a rest in dugouts back behind the lines
for "a hours. About the only discom-
fort in the rest dugouts was numerous
rats "as big as cats" but things like
this did not disturb the boys great
deal. The front line experience had
occurred some time previous to the
writing Of the letter. When the letter
was written Wallace and his chums
were engaged in constructing other
lines Of trenches and dugouts In
town far to the rear OF the front line
position. While II may not be proper to
state exactly where the young men
worked on the front line, there is
probably no objection to saying that
since the letter was written the Ger
mans have undertaken to raid the
Americans over the very trenches that
are referred to in the letter. Wallace
acknowledges the receipt OF packages
of sweets. cigarettes letters, copies OF
The Enquirer and other papers. and
tells how he enjoys sitting In dugouts
among the big rats and other things
reading the news from home. though
he would have II understood that II IL
the news nc enjoys and not the big
rats and other things.
