There's mighty little comfort when
you go to lick the Boche,
When you fight and fight and fight
and then continue:
When you're living in a dirty ditch
and wallowing in slosh.
1t sorta shriyels all the stuff that's
in you.
There amt no time for readin' and
you dissent sing no song.
And there amt no one that feels
like cracking jokes,
And when the air is misty and the
hours seem so long
The only comfort you can have is
smokes.
Oh, 1t sorta makes you happy, to be
putting on a Gig.
And a pipes a kinda poultice. when
your troubles get too big;
Gosh! soldiering's no picnic, for US
expedition blokes,
But Wen stand a lot of hammering
provided we have smokes.

Dog on Operating Table.

Mack, a bulldog owned by Mrs.
Charles Wright, teacher at the Rulo
school, says a Walla Walla (Wash.)
exchange, got so many porcuplne
quilts in it's mouth and throat during
a fight with that animal that 1t had to
be chloroformed and hundreds of
quilts were taken out with pincers.
The dog was protecting chickens
owned by its mistress. Mack has sue
c~essfully fought off badgers, snakes
and coyotes which have sought to steal
the chickens, and when the p~orcupine
appeared ii charged it. Even with its
mouth filled with quilts 1t continued
the attack.

Useful Parrot.

Uncaged and unattended, a parrot
perches throughout the day on a chair
outside of a store In Seattle, Wash,
and advertises the wares to be pur-
chased therein to all passersby. Dur
ing the summer time he is particular
ly useful, his owner having taught him
to make this announcement: ice
cream cones-hve cents. Right In
side" The appearance of a pedestrian
In the vicinity of the store is a signal
for the bird to repeat his announce
ment. The parrot has proven a great
advertising card and has greatly boost
ed the business of the store to the adj
vantage Of the owner.

dote OF his sojourn in Syria:
At dawn some days before the re-

sprang across the short space OF
ground which separated the Turkish

The general was followed by an or

asked why he had deserted he replied:

campaign, where I learned to appre-
ciate the same adversaries who today
confront me. Being sent from the

a German division OF my 10000 men

Shib Comrades Bid for
Dead Mans Effects to
Raise Fund for Familu

London, Eng. Jan dead mems
effects are sold at auction on the
ships deck by an old custom IN the
British navy. Prices out Of all pro-
portion to the value OF gods are often
realized for the mans heirs. espec-
tally II the late owner was popular
with his shipmates.
Personal belongings, such as letters
and photographs, are first taken out
to be forwarded to the deceased rel
atives. Then, as soon as official cane
ton is obtained the rest Of the ar
ticles are taken to a convenient part
OF the ship and offered for sale. The
master at arms acts as auctiOneer.
Bidders who have obtained the
small articles from such an auction
sometimes throw back their pur-
chases for resale until as many Jack
les as feel inclined have had a chance
of contributing something towards
the assistance OF the dead mans next
Of kin. Thus these kit sales become
the lower decks way OF taking I'D
charitable collection.
The kit Of a deserter Is similarly
sold by auction. the proceeds going to
the national treasury. But the whole
outfit rarely fetches more than a few
shillings. as many sailors regard the
possession o. articles formerly be-
longing TO a deserter as undesirable,
il not unlucky.

''Ever since Italy has been at war

But war conditions had also their
compensation. There were no Ger

loud vulgarity the solemn stiffness of
a Venetian night; the famous Vene-
tian cafes became once more the
meeting place Of Venetians, clubs
where no unwelcome and uninvited
