Chicago. H., April 11.-Unreserved
praise for The high efficiency Of Pres
idcnt Wilson'S ''business battalion"
was voiced today by A. c. Bedford
president Of the Standard Oil COM
pany, Of New Jersey, in speech be-
fore the chamber of commerce Of the
United States.
There is too much for each OF us
to do to listen to the wild stories of
the alarmist kind that seem to be the
nyariabie accompaniment OF every
war in every country" he declared.
q am not a defender of the men who
are handling the work OF the gov
ernment but I would be lacking in
fairness if, after my own experiences
at Washington, l with held a tribute
10 these men, these tried and proven
generals of our industrial armies who
have grappled with the governments
problems and who are silently, quite
ly and, say here and now, success
fully working them out.
You can go through all the de-
partments in Washington and you will
lind at head of the various branches
men who have unselfishily abandoned
their business connections to serve
the nation PresidenSWilson in draf-
ting the best experience of the busi-|
ness world has not inquired as to the
political affiliations of any business
man whose services were required.
They in turn recognize in him not the
leader of party but the leader of the
American people and as a result OIL
their close contact with the govern
ment they have gained knowledge of
the sOundness of the presidents poll
cies."
While declaring that the petroleum
industry will meet every demand made
upon it by war TIME conditions, Mr.
Bedford urged the imperative nee
essity of conservation in the use OF
gasoline.
S. r. Cummings, president of the cor
poration which constructed Americas
frs; concrete ship-the Faith-which
was launched on the Pacific coast re-
Gently, declared in a speech that the
ship has not leaked a drop and prom
ises to prove a success in every way.
The shipyard in which the Faith
was b0ilt was put up within a week
at a cost of $22.500. The same yard
for the construction Of steel ships of
the same tonnage-5,000 dead weight
would cost according to the speaker
100000 and would require a years
time 10 erect
Mr. Cummings said that at present
there is a need of government aid to
concrete ship builders If the Faith
proves seaworthy and with govern
ment backing, concrete ships can be
turned out in large numbers without
interfering with any other branch Of
the industry. or drawing upon mate
rials needed in erecting steel or
wooden vessels
There are ten thousand men in San
Francisco skilled in ship building and
allied trades available for years, he
said
The Great Lakes ship building
plants are turning out two ships every
three days, according to John A. Pen

would be started toward the Atlantic
seaboard May l and that 135 more
would be ready before December l..

chuckle from my mate brought me to
my senses. and I feebly asked, "For
heavens sake, what was that7"
He answered. "Only a rat taking a
promenade along the %sandbags." I
felt very sheepish.
About every twenty minutes the sem
try in the next traverse would fire a
star shell from his flare pistol. The
"plop" would give me a start Of fright.
I never got used to this noise during
my service in the trenches.
I would watch the arc described by
the star shell, and then stare into No
Mans Land waiting for it to burst. In
its lurid light the barbed wire and
stakes would be silhouetted against its
light like a latticed window. Then
darkness.
Once, but in front Of our wire, I
heard a noise and saw dark forms
moving. My rifle was lying across the
sandbagged parapet. I reached for it,
and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
"Don't fire." He challenged in a low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want us to click
it from the BochesY"
Later we learned that the word, "No
challenging or firing, wiring party out
In 'front.'" had been given to the sentry
on our right, but he had failed to pass
1t down the trench. An officer had over
heard u challenge and the reply, and
Immediately put the offending sentry
under arrest. The sentry clicked
twenty-one days on the wheel, that is,
he received twenty-one days field pun
ishment No. 1, or "crucifixion," as
! Tommy terms 1t.
This consists Of being spread-eagled
on the wheel of a timber two hours a
day for twenty-one days, regardless Of
the weather. During this period, your
rations consist Of bully beef, biscuits
and water.
A few months later I met this sentry
and he conf1ded to me that since being
"cruciied," he had never failed to pass
the word down the trench when so or
dered. In view of the o%ffense, the
above punishment was very light. in
that failing to pass the word down a
trench may mean the loss Of many
lives, and the spelling of some impor-
tant enterprise in No Mans Land.

GIories Of Serbian History.


The deeds of the Serbians and OF
Kara George. their leader, are so re-
markable, according to n recent his
torian, that even legend can hardly
exaggerate them. A handful Of daynhs

armies. besieges citadels. alternately

bravery.
There is no case in which a single
small power in the Balkans has done
so much without more aid from the
great powers. What Greece owed to
Canning. Roumania to Louis Napoleon
and Bulgaria to Gar Alexander. the
tiny states Of Serbia and Montenegro
owed to themselves. The latter main

shot the fox and hardly had the re-
port died away when two buck deer

It was not long after this that I waa
one Of the 100 lying"
I soon hit the hay and was fast
asleep, even my friends the "cooties"
failed to disturb me.
The next morning at about six
o'clock I was awakened by the lance
corporal Of our section, informing me
that I had been detailed as mess or
derly, and to report to the cook and
give him a hand. I helped him make
the fire, carry water from an old well,
and fry the bacon. LIDS of dixies are
used to cook the bacon in. After
breakfast was cooked, I carried q dixie
of hot tea and the lid full Of bacon to
our section, and told the corporal that
breakfast was ready. He looked at me
in contempt, and then shouted, Break
fast up, come and get it," l immedi-
ately got wise to the trench p%arlance,
and never again informed that "!Rreak-
fast was served"
It didn't take long for the Tommies
to answer this call. Half dressed,
they lined up with their canteens and
I dished out the tea. Each Tommy
carried in his hand a thick slice of
bread which had been issued with the
rations the night before. Then I had
the pleasure of seeing them dig into
the bacon with their dirty fingers. The
| allowance was n slice per man. The
late ones received very small slices.
AS each Tommy got his share he i'm.
mediately disappeared into the billet.
Pretty soon about fifteen of them made
a rush to the cookhouse, each carrying
a huge slice Of bread. These slices
they dipped into the bacon grease
which was stewing over the fire. The
last man invariably lost out. I was
the last man.
After breakfast our section carried
their equipment into a field adjoining
the billet and got busy removing the
trench mud therefrom, because at 8 AS
a. m., they had to fall in for inspection
and parade, and voc betide the man
who was unshaven, or had mud ON his
uniform. Cleanliness is next to godli-
ness in the British army, and Old Pep
per must have been personally ac-
quainted with st. Peter.
Our drill consisted Of close-order
formation, which lasted until noon.
During this time we had two ten-min.
ute breaks for rest, and no sooner the
word, "Fall out for ten minutes" was
given than each Tommy got out q fag
and lighted it.

CHAPTER VI.
"eack Of the Line.r

BACK OF the Line"
Our tour in the front-line trench
lasted four days. and then we were
relieved by the - brigade.
Going down the communication
trench we were in a merry mood, al.
though we were cold and wet, and
every bone in u bodies ached. It
makes a lot of difference whether you
are "going in" Or "going out"
At the end Of the communication
trench, limbers were waiting on the
road for US. I thought we were going
to ride back to rest billets, but soon
found out that the only time an in
fantryman rides is when he is
wounded and is bound for the base or
Blighty. These limbers carried our
reserve ammunition and rations. Our
march to rest billets vas thoroughly
enjoyed by me. It seemed as If I
were on %furlough, and was leaving be-
hind everything that was disagree
able and horrible. Every recruit feels
this way after being relieved from the
trenches.
We marched eight kilos and then
halted in front of a French estaminet.
The captain gave the order to turn
out on each side of the road and wait
his return. Pretty soon he came back
and told B company to occupy billets
III, 118 and 119. Billet lit was an
old stable which had previously been
occupied by cows. About four feet in
front of the entrance was q huge ma.
nure pile, and the odor from it was
anything but pleasant. Using my
flashlight I stumbled through the door.
Just before entering I observed a
white sign reading: Sitting so. lying
90" but, at the time, its significance
did not strike me. Next morning I
asked the sergeant major what 1t
meant. He nonchalantly answered:
"That's some Of the work Of the r.
A. NJ. G. (Royal Army Medical corps).
It simply means that In case Of an at
tack, this billet will accommodate
fifty wounded who are able to sit up
and take notice. or twenty stretch1
cases."
