Tales of the V. c..
Two Men Cap
ture a German
Trench
By Lieutenant J. P. Lloyd
-H1S is the story of how an Eng

-HIS is the story of how an Eng
lish soldier of a London regi-
Il ment, with the help of comrade,
attacked a German trench, captured
two German machine guns and killed
their crews.
"a, 1917, the 18th Battalion of the East
Surveys advanced against the German
positions near the village of Villers
Polvich. The company on the right
was held up by two machine guns firing
from a trench in front Of the village.
Protected by a thick belt of barbed
wire, the two guns swept the ranks Of
the attackers from end to end. Under
such hail of death it was impossible
to advance.
Then, when it seemed as if the at
tack must fail, Corporal Edward Fos-
ter and q lance corporal of his COM
pany volunteered to make an attempt
to silence the machine guns. Armed
each with Lewis gun and some bombs,
the two men jumped to their feet and
rushed across the open ground toward
the German trench. They had reached
the entanglements almost before the
enemy had realized that the desperate
enterprise had begun. Under storm
of rifle and machine gun fire the gal
liant pair forced their way through the
wire and jumped down into the trench
among the Germans.
Hopelessly outnumbered as they
were, the two Englishmen proved more
than match for their enemies. Luck
was not with them at the first, as the
lance-corporal's gun jammed, and be-
fore he could free the stoppage the
Germans were upon him. They
swarmed like bees down the trench,
thinking to have an easy victory. The
Lewis gun was wrenched out of his
hands, but he did not lose it for long
Before they could do him further mis-
chief Corporal Foster mad come to his
rescue. A few Mill's bombs quickly
changed the Germans ideas on the
rights of property, and they fed along
the trench, leaving their dead behind
them.
Corporal Foster lost no time in fol-
lowing up his success. He led the way
ment. and, opening fire with his Lewis
gun from the distance OF a few yards,
wiped out the guns crew and the
whole of its infantry escort. The sec
ond machine gun Jared no better, and
in a few minutes the corporal had
captured the whole trench and killed
every man of it's garrison.
Now that this obstacle had been re-
moved from its path the company went
forward once more and swept through
the village to it's objective on the fur
ther side. Meanwhile Corporal Foster
had rejoined his platoon and remained
with it throughout day OF heavy
..E.-ing.
By his splendid bravery and absolute
! disregard for his own safety he set a
shining example to every man in his
company.

Nicholas Merely
Misguided Ruler

Nicholas has mind as simple as
that Of the most ignorant of his peas
ants, yet a mind to which knowledge
is gradually coming. He was merely
a misguided ruler, trusting the words
and whispers of his advisers and his
Tcuton Queen, as against the words
and statements Of those few-those
pitifully few-real patriots who were
able to gain his ear. The real truth
but seldom reached him in its virgin
form-it was tainted beyond all recog
rition by the lies and exaggerations
CT his lieuterants. To-day-he under
stands. He has awakened somewhat
to the horror caused by some OF his
DEGREES; ne is aware that his people
were deprived in his rule of chance
for progression; he has imbibed some
of that spirit, Of democracy which
comes with free converse with the
common herd" his servants. Freed
of the fawning sycophancy OF his
! courtiers, his eyes have been opened
I through the passage of world events
and remembrance of the past has
brought to him sleepless nights, has
caused many miles OF endless. pacing
over Aoors and garden paths, has
added line after line, deep craven, OF
worry and rcmorse to his countenance

Down with the Kaiser, now he sits
upon his throne,
But in about five months he won't be
so high tone;
But will be glad to have a seat on the
floor,
And listen to dear L. S. A. forever
more.
Now, l know what I say is true,
As I have read the papers through
and through;
I know the Kaiser and all his Huns,
Will be nothing to our Army but a
dozen cinnamon buns.
So all our boys will stand firm and
u
And are willing to fight until this war
is through,
And everyone that shoulders a rifle,
Why! gee whiz! Germany's a mere
trifle.
