Active work is being done in nearly all the states to secure ratification of the prohibition amendment which re- gently passed congress. Since the wom- an suffrage amendment passed the house the senate has been besieged day after day by suffragists who are en- deavoring to land enough votes to pass it in that body. Although strong claims are made to the effect that the amendment will pass, the senators who are handling the matter say that four or five votes are still lacking. They also say that the resolution will not be brought to a vote until the necessary two-thirds of the senate in it's favor is assured.
 The activities in behalf of both these amendments have been carried on not withstanding the amendment, generally coming from the opponents of both amendments, that the energies of the country at this time ought to be de voted to the war and that all other lpo1itical and economic questions
 should be laid aside until after the wal
 has been successfully concluded. Int
 prohibitionists have replied that 1T
 securing prohibition they are helping
 to win the War, and the suffragists have made the same claim in regard to woman suffrage.

B. R. Tillman, Jr., a son of Sena- tor Tillman of South Carolina, was speaking of his own personal problem and said that he had thousand acres of land and does not know what to do with it because he cannot obtain labor to plant it nor to harvest the crops. Laborers cannot be found to work in the fields. He has bought a large amount of farm machinery of the lat est type and will do the best he can to raise as large a crop as he can.
 And so it Is found that whenever the question of food supply and lack of farm production is probed to the bot tom it turns out that the inability of farmers to procure labor is the seat of the trouble. The various organizations that are working officially as well as unofficially to secure an increased farm product have many suggestions, some of them practical and others fantasti- cal, but all having in view the opening up of more farms and putting more people at work on the farms. But the question comes back again and again, Will people work on farms when such attractive wages are offered in other lines of industry?

It is not particularly surprising that
 man of Colonel Roosevelt's charac- teristics and temperament should be in
 the limelight. For a number of years Colonel Roosevelt has been in and out,
 so to speak, but just now he seems to
 have taken the center of the stage as
 the most prominent man In private life. Perhaps it is because he came to Wash ington at a time when the adminiStra-
 tion was undergoing the most severe criticism 1t has sustained since the war began. Back in 1909, when Colonel
 Roosevelt departed from Washington
 the day MT. Taft was inaugurated
 president, it was in his mind to keep
 out of Washington. But it was impos-
 sible for man like him to change his nature so he again appeared in the na- tional capital, where he held the center of the unofficial stage.
 One of the amazing things about Colonel Roosevelt is the length of time that he has been in the public eye. He first began to make stir in 1880, was an important factor in the Republican national convention in 1884, came to Washington in 1889 as q civil service commissioner, after that was police commissioner of New York, assistant secretary of the navy, lieutenant colo nel and colonel of the Rough Riders, governor of New York, vice president. president and since his retirement from the presidency, candidate for that position on two successive occa- sions. During all that long period he has not always held the center of the stage, but he has been in the spotlight the greater portion of the time.

If there is not a great deal of ex- tra work done throughout the farm ing districts of the country to in- crease the agricultural products In the year 1918, 1t will not be on account of lack of effort on the part of many men who see the necessity of produc- ing more food. Several organizations are already at work, most of them hay ing their headquarters in Washington,
 and all are working toward the same end, although they may be employing different methods. Of course the two biggest organizations of this kind are the agricultural department and the | food administration. The agricultural department is naturally more effective because it has had strong organiza- tton in the field for many years. Its efforts are being supplemented by the food administration, which has day after day put forth information tend ing towards saving as well as increas- ing the food supply of this country
 Only short time ago Secretary Me AdOo made a statement in which he urged the Southern people to produce enough food for their own use. The significance of that statement may not be fully understood save by those who know the conditions in the South It is estimated that more than S00000 ne- groes have left the South during the past year and found employment in the Northern states, where there has been such a great demand for labor. The loss of the negro labor has fallen heav- 1 fly upon Southern farmers.

him if the weather wasn't horrible, the

sideration, he shrugged his shoulders
in Bleecker Street manner, adding
"Oui, oui."
Shortly after the Sd located in the
village an order came out, sending some
of the higher company officers to
school, and sergeants who looked like
possible officers were sent to train

One hundred and eight reserve Of

days after that went through real hard

Also gas masks and the "tin Lizzies"

see the place where the French and
Germans had drenched the ground in
blood. The field looked as if it had
been through an earthquake. Bits of
shells and shell castings. rotting equip
ment and rusted barbed wire were seat
tered everywhere. And the graves here
were thick.
In few days the Sd Battalion moved
up INTO town right behind the lines.
During the day one could hardly tell it
was in the advanced fighting area ex-
lery. In the night not light was to
be seen and one had to "feel" his way
to the barracks.
An order came to pull out in the
morning. Already some of the COM
panies had moved up into reserve posi-
tions, known as Camp du New York" f"
And that is where we were headed for.
We arrived at the so-called camp in the
afternoon. 1t was mud hole. You
didn't know what you were getting
into until you were there. "Duck
heaven help you if you slipped off one.
Officers made reconnaissance of the
position the next day, and two days
later certain number of men moved
up road to dig new trench through
woods. That is the first time the Sd
Battalion men were under fire.
They had worked through the morn
ing, and every time Hun plane got
close ducked into the forest. One must
have seen US, however, for few min
utes after noon, when we were eating
lunch, he started shelling US. Shrapnel
and high explosive burst all around.
The tree tops were cut by the blast.
Not one of our men was hit.
That evening we quit work about 6
o'clock. We had not gone down the
road more than quarter of a mile
when the Hun opened up again. He
dropped 450 shells along the trench we
had been digging in less than twenty
minutes. It's odd, but not one of those
shells had fallen into the trench, and,
of course, no one was hit, for we had
left there too soon.s
A few days later the order came in.
We were to move up-that is, our COM
pany-to relieve Captain Kelley's out
fit. We started in the darkness, after
a hasty breakfast. There was little
talking and no lights were shown. 1t
was a beautiful early morning, the sky
still studded with stars.
Into the silent wooded road we
marched. Soon gas masks were swung
to the position of "alert." Thin streaks
of light appeared in the east. Men,
during their ten-minute rest stops,
talked in low tones.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-05

AS the light streaks grew brighter
the Germans morning "hate" COM
menced, and our artillery "hated" back,
giving five shots for one. Soon there
was an incessant din, big and little
guns pounding back and forth at each
other. AS l glanced down along the
line of faces l was struck by the grim
ness OF them, the ready to do and die"
bearing about every one of them.
Some Of the shells came mighty near
US, but the march continued. Soon we
met our guides from the other COM
pany, who were to lead US into our por-
ton of the trenches. Later we left
the'road and went into the communica-
tion trenches.
We separated. One platoon went one
way; another turned off in different
direction. Before many minutes had
passed the relieved troops were march
ing back and our men held their places.
After the coming of dawn the front
grew comparatively quiet. The canrons
were silent, but now and then you
could hear the bark of sha1pshooter's
rife or the long oath of a machine
gun.

The Boche ried
To Brighten Them

The irs1 day or two sup" there was
not much doing; then the Hun, pre-
sumably finding out that Americans
were opposite, tried TO have some fun
with US. One blustery night, when the
wind was moaning through the trees,
and our lines ran through woods, the
Boche started to send up one rocket
after the other. There were red rock
cts and green rockets; "caterpillars," q
stream of white light balls fastened to-
gether and seemingly squrming down
through the air. Then Huns in their
front line gave vent to weird cries, like
a child mortally hurt, or a woman in
fear. But the old Goth kept its nerve
and hung on. waiting for an oppor-
tunity to plug something, waiting for
the chance to pay back in a regular
fashion. The Hun didn't come over
just then.
It's impossible to give details Of
how and when the men of the 69th at
tackled, and repulsed attacks; how and
when they stole out through our lines
of barbed wire and grabbed off Han
or two in a patrol. There are certain
things censorship forhids. But one
thing every one who has a connection
in the 69th can rest assured of, and
that is that the Fighting 69th" has
fought and is fighting true to its name.

The Town Waved
Us Farewell

The weeks spent in that town were
full of work, humor and pathos. Early
in March the outfit was "ready" One
sunny afternoon the town waved us a
goodby and the battalion marched to a
railroadN station about fourteen miles
away. For night and part of the day
we rode, then detrained in town not
many miles from the front. AS the
men stepped from the coaches, the
"side door Pullmans," they heard the
continuous roar of the guns. French
planes were scouting all around over
head.
They marched about five miles and
were billeted in a pile of bricks that
had been used by the Germans when
they occupied the section in 1914. All
around them were scenes of the battles
that had been fought there and resulted
in rolling back the Hun. "Croix de
Bois," crosses of wood, planted over
soldiers graves and bearing on them
the blue painted steel helmet of the
fallen hero, dotted the fields, lined the
roads and even stood silent guard on
the lawn in front of the place occupied
by the men. And many of them bore
another legend-"Un Soldat Allemand.' y

pins as our own machine guns and auto
rifles cut through their ranks!
They didn't come far. They couldn't
get past that rain of steel. Two lines,
two waves, started over, and mighty
few of them ever went back. They
managed to carry away most of their
wounded, and got their dead that night.
They had had a taste of American
temper
A few days later we saw a Paris edi-
ton of an American newspaper. The
French communication mentioned "vio-
lent artillery action in - sector"
Campaign Rigors
In Winter Weather
The Fighting 6eth," Irish to the
last "buck private" in the rear rank,
disembarked at an "Atlantic port in
France" and took its way in "side door
Pullmans" to training area. Each
Pullman" carried it's full quota, as the
signs outside read-"forty hommes''
forty men. The cars are little
larger than truck body, and with
strips open near the roof to allow
ventilation. This was in the latter part
Of November, and already winter had
France in its grip.
For four days and nights that ride
continued, and, finally, with heavy
rain falling, the men detrained. Far
away could be heard the low booming
of the big guns on the French front.
Gee, we're near it-we're IN it," were
the words passed down the line.
Soaking wet, teeth chattering, the
men started off down a slushy, muddy
road. Battalions went in different di-
rections, the Sd marching to a village
in valley where the cannons spoke
only few miles distant.
Out in the rain poured the French
civilians, old men, old women, little
boys and girls, all in wooden shoes
and mutfiers wound round their throats,
"Viye les Americainsl" they shouted
and in the eyes of the women, the old
mothers who had given sons and hus-
bands in the struggle, was that look
that cannot be described. They were
struggling between memories of their
own marching away and JOY at seeing
such sorely needed aid coming.
Those who lived on the edge of the
village were brought to it's centre by
the cry "C'est les Americans" (it is
the Americans). First you would hea,
their wooden shoes pounding on the
New-York tribune., 1918-05-05

At dawn the pounding started harder
than ever. It seemed as if every foot
of ground was cut up, every living
thing besides the men destroyed.
Then the Hun came over. With
shells bursting in the trenches, gas
tinging the air and the shrek and
crack of machine gun and rifle bullets
overhead, the men stood waiting the
word. Then they opened up.
God-the sight of Boche bodies scat
tering in bits as our own artillery
started in to do its little bit Of hate!
God-the sight of long lines Of the
gray-clad figures falling down like ten

try to cut the Hun wire or to inter
cept his patrol and bring back a pris-
oner.
A star she'll would spin up into the air
1t was as if searchlight from a plane
had been thrown out into No Mans
Land. Trees would make strange
shadows. Back in the trenches the men
would wait breathlessly, afraid they
would hear the Gathering of a machine
gun as Hun observer saw our patrol
But as the light grew dim and fell and
no shots were heard an audible sigh
OF relief came along the line.
Those '"out there" when the she'll went
up would sprawl as fat as possible on
the ground or in shell hole. They
did not move, hardly dared breathe.
They did not look up, for head raised
would have meant death for all and the
failure Of the mission.
Oh, if they came back with pris-
oner! 1t was hard to keep the men
away from him. He'd be hustled back
to an examining officer, and we'd find
out who the troops were opposite US
and how long they had occupied the
sector.
So it kept on all night. Machine
guns seemed constantly popping, and
sometimes the artillery would bark for
few seconds. Colored lights would
shoot in the air, warning of gas, or
calling for artillery aid if the circum-
stances warranted. Trees, swaying
about in the wind, took on terrible
shapes. Bounding lights came over the
ground. Then absolute stiffness for a
few minutes.
That's just one night and day in the
trenches.
Take another day and night, when
the Hun thought he would start some-
thing. He started it, but that's all.
A Night When
He'll Broke Loose
1t was a wonderfully clear day
"Stand to" had been held, and the men
were starting back to their dugouts.
There was some artillery action-no
more than usual at that time in the
morning.
