We knew II was a German by the bIacB
leather boot. One OF our crew used
that foot to hang extra bandoliers Of
ammunition on. This man always was
handy fellow; made use Of little
points that the ordinary person would
overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks, which we repulsed, but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quleter, but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept in that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be-
come swollen and discolored. towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out of the dirt. It
seemed to me, at night, in the moon
light, to be trying to twist around.
Several times this impression was so
strong that went to 1t and grasped It
in both hands, to see If I could feel a
movement.
told this to the man who had used
It for hatrack just before lay down
for little nap, as things were quiet,
and / needed a rest pretty badly.
When woke up the foot was gone.
He had cut 1t Off with our chain saw
out Of the spare parts box. and had
,plastered the stump over with mud.
During the next two or three days.
before we were relieved. I missed that
foot dreadfully; seemed as If I had
suddenly lost a chum.
l think the worst thing Of all was to
watch the rats, at night, and some
times In the day. run over and play
about among the dead.
Near our gun, right across the para
pet, could be seen the body of a Ger
man lieutenant, the head and arms Of
which were hanging into our trench.
The man who had cut Off the foot used
to sit and carry on one-sided CONVEX
sation with this officer, used to argue
uilu pOlut Out WHY 0Cthuhy was III lilo
wrong. During all Of this monologue
I never heard him say anything out Of
the way-anything that would have
hurt the officers feelings had he been
alive. He was square all right ;
wouldn't even take advantage Of q
dead man in an argument.
To civilians this must seem dread
fun. but out here one gets so used to
awful sights that 1t makes no impress
sion. In passing a butcher shop you
are not shocked by seeing dead tur-
key hanging from a hook. Well, In
France, dead body Is looked upon
| from the same angle.
But, nevertheless, when our six days
were up, we were tickled to death to
be relieved.
Our machine gun company lost
seventeen killed and thfrty-one wound
ed In that little local affair OF
Strengthening the line" while the
other companies clicked it worse than
we did.
After the attack we went into re-
serve billets for six days, and on the
seventh once again we were In rest blu
lets.

THE CUP OF LIFE

or all the vintage in the world
One single cup OF wine,
One cup OF life. one cup OF death.
One destiny Is mine.
ia not give up that special cup
My fates have poured for me.
For any other In all time.
Nor all eternity.
For in my time. and In my place
No foot has stood before.
My taste Of fortune fine or base
No lips can know OF. more.
So might ! choose. would not loss
For nectared draughts divine
This deep-spiced vintage here and now,
In mine own place and time.
Mine be the strength to lift 1t UP
In pride; drink full and free.
And, standing. drain the mortal cup
My fates have poured for me.

Potatoes Go Well With Meat.

Meat and potatoes are good food
combination, and may be a better diet
than bread and meat, according to the
United States department of agricul-
turc. At this time when plentiful

Of wheat. Potatoes at a dollar a

Got Their "LiveIy Time"

A famous lion-tamer tells of a queer
Christmas present he once received. 1t
was a consignment from a friend
abroad Of three Demonstrators and
FIVE alligators, "With Jlm's best wishes
for lively time" The lion-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
II shall never forget how annoyed I
was when, during the night, two of the
alligators broke out Of their boxes In
our bedroom and began exploring. 1
could not find the matches, and and
my wife remained ON top Of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily. my wife
never thought Of the thing that wor-
ried me. l was afraid the alligators
might call on the boa-constrictors to
wish them a Merry Christmas. and 30
wake them up tool"

fielder, and he was requested to pose.
"Pose nothing" he growled. "Tll
stand right here just like I am, and
IL you want to shoot, why, fire ahead"
And he wouldn't bulge. The snap
shot was pulled off with Speaker lean
ing against the wall Of hotel build
ing. His hat was pulled down over
his eyes. He was reading a letter,
and he was industriously putting away
at the short stub Of cigar. Little he
cared whether he showed as real star
when the photographs gained circula-
ton.

Let's Have a Picnic.

~
These people who think Of the dis
comforts and Inconvenience of a pic
mic which so overbalance the pleasure
of getting out into the glorious woods,
are better left at home for they do not
make cheerful companions. Pick your
picnic lovers so your Joy may be I'M
alleged.
Careful planning is necessary to
eliminate unnecessary weight unless
there be plenty of conveyances to share
the burden. The fewer washable dish
es will appeal to those who have this in
charge, as important. Plates, cups,
and napkins Of paper may be obtained
at small cost and they may be burned
before leaving, as every true picnicker
will see that he leaves no rubbish to
annoy the next group who follows
his party.
When fire Is to be built, which is
half the fun Of picnic, a piece OF
sheet iron which may be used on four
stones for support, will make fine
stove, with the fire underneath.
Potatoes may be roasted, sweet corn
and onions. II desired, all In the ashes.
Do not peel the onions or husk the corn
when roasting.
The salad and salad dressing may be
carried in fruit Jars. Stuffed eggs,
wrapped In squares of tissue paper
fringed on two ends, twisted to look
like bonbons, are attractive.
Ferns and wild flowers are to be
found to make pleasing centerpiece.
Lemonade, all sweetened ready to
add the water may also be carried in
n Mason jar.
If there is no place to build fire,
few thermos bottles will carry the
coffee. They are also useful to carry
cold drinks.
Sandwiches, Of course, will be pro-
vided in quantity, for the appetite Ia
very elastic when out in the open.
Fresh fruits of various kinds in sea-
son. with small cakes, make q dessert
which Is very satisfactory.
A dessert which Is not hard to pYo-
vide and which Is very delicious is
this: Provide sufficient sponge cakes
and carry jar Of whipped cream
sweetened and favored. Cut open the
cakes, scoop out the centers and I'LL
with the cream. There are never any
left. In strawberry season a few mash
ed berries added to the cream Is 4
pleasant change.
The outing has lost its main object
IL any have been ovsrburdened In it's
preparations.

Officials of the District Council Of De-

of housing the thousands Of govern
ment clerks being brought here for
war work, were not perturbed today
over the efforts Of Baltimore to induce
new clerks in Washington to make
their homes in the Monumental city.

20 induce these new clerks to take
rooms In Brookland. Mount Pleasant or
other outlying residential sections"
said William II. Baldwin. chairman OF
the district council, you can Judge for
yourself what task Baltimore will
have in trying to get them to ride
forty miles to and from the federal
departments"
Says Government Must Build.
Mr. Baldwin said the District Council
of Defense agrees with the recommen-
dation of the Civil Service Commission
to the Council of National Defense that
it eventually will be necessary for the
government to erect some type of tenn
porary dwellings for the overflow or
employees who are to be brought here
during 1918.
There still is an undeveloped source
of accommodations in the homes OF the
city, and we hope through our central
room registration bureau, which Will
the end of the week, to reduce the
amount of building which the govern
menr will have to do by filing these
rooms.

are declining appointments here. Mr..
Baldwin said. strengthens his conten-
tion that housing these clerks is strictly
the duty of the federal and not the
District government.
1t was suggested today that retired
Army and Navy officers living in the
District be asked or directed by their
respective departments to move to other
cities to make room for active officers
brought here to help direct the war.
Mr.. Baldwin said that while he could
not speak for the District council he
did not believe the amount of relief
offered by such action would warrant
it's adoption.
