eusta Young Lady
The Liberty Journal went to press
Thursday evening at the Green street
Methodist church with a precision
and snap that would do credit to the
Oldest and most staid printing estab-

whose skill in that line of entertain
ment is remarkable. The scene was
laid in the Office of the editor, Mrs.

the day before the magazine was go
ing to press. The scene opened with
Susie the stenographer and Thomas.
the office boy engaged in sprightly de-
bate on subjects of the day, interest
ing because Of their variety. Then
the editor enters. The mornings mail
is sorted and different articles from
as many different sources are read
and commented on by the editor and
by Susie. The associate editor enters
and editorials are read and discussed,
The jokes. the fashions, poetry, the
domestic department, the music de-
partment. the trouble department, the
ads and last the cover design all were
most interesting The closing Of the
play was effective in two tableaux.

shell came through and laid the build
Ing to the ground.
All day Monday the Smelling con
tinued, and still no orders came fos
M to move. Things were beginning Il.
look serious now. and We wondered
how much longer we would have 70
stick It out. II was the most unsat.
isfactory duty one could imagine.
There we were doing absolutely moth
Ing and the Germans throwing shell
after shell into us. We had no chance
to hit back. and there was nothing ex.
cept to stand by and take our chances.
When the order did come 10 move the
neld cashier was the last one to be noti-
fial. but even though we were the last
to get the order we were the first ones
out, and was happy to say goodby to
that place. We went about six kilo-
meters down the rSad and took over
temporary headquarters in little VII
lage.
1t was Just after we moved down to
this village that got the only scratch
had during the whole campaign. /
was on the Dickebusch road with a
staff colonel. and we had been visiting
some regiments that were out of action
at the time. While we were there the
Germans started Smelling. and we de-
cided 1t would be better for us n we
moved to a healthier locality. The
colonel was sitting In the t0nnenu Of
the cur. while I. Of course. was In the
driving seat.
An we swung out into the main road
we heard shell coming. and artomat-
Ically put on more speed. The shell
burst right on the side Of the road
One piece Of 1t few through the bottom
Of the car and tore the footboard right
from under the coloncl's feet. 1t didn't
bother him the least hit. He simply
swung his feet right up on to the seat
and advised me to crowd on little
more speed.
Another little piece Of the shell graz
ed my right leg Just above the knee.
1t was mere scratch. but 1t scared
me as nothing epc7 has since. and ]
guess thought my whole leg was
gone.
The same shell that came SO close to
US caught another poor fellow and
wounded him in the back In twenty
nine different places. and with all this
he walked quarter of mile to .
dressing station.

It up and threw II back over the para.

1t hit q German officer right In the

OF course It spread him all over the

One of our officers turned to this big

rather sourly: AYE. sir. mebbe SO

Our headquarters were still In Pope

continued to visit US every morning.

We had no spare troops available
right on the spot. 80 the men of the
headquarters unit-orderlies. messcn.
gers. etc.-were called upon to 20 up
and net ns supports until reinforce
ments could he brought up. We went
up on the dead run and found that the
black troops had retired. so we went
into the position just in front of the
Germans. The knisers troops had ad-
yanced about two miles. but had stop
ped at the last trench Of our first line
Of defense. There were no more
trenches for four miles.
The troops who had retired were or.
dcred into rest camp when we took
the position over. so we had to so in
and bold until the Canadians came up.
The Germans made no attempt to ad.
vance any farther, and we certainly
were In no position to quarrel with
them just then. We waited there all
night. and just before dawn the Ca
indians arrived. They didn't stop for
anything and went right over the top
Of us and ut the Germans. We acted
as supports for them during this en-.
gngement. and 1t was trent to see
the way they went after them.
Trench after trench they took with
out any letup. The Germans contest
ed every inch OF the ground, but moth
ing could stop the Maple Leaf boys
TINT morning When the Germans wait
ed long enough for the fighting to come
to close quarters the Canadians were
right there with the cold steel. and
when the Germans kept their distance
those boys showed that they know
which end OF rifle the bullet comes
from.
The Canadians had advanced about
mile In this way when the Germans
brought up some ro-enforcements and
Immediately started to counterattack
They drove us back few hundred
yards, but we made stand, and after
the ere had worn off the German at.
tack we commenced to advance again.
This time there was no denying the
Canadians. and they went right
through until they had retaken all the
ground that had been lost. They also
recovered four guns which the Ger
! mans had captured
AS nearly as can tell. 1t vas at this
time THAI the reports began to fly
around TINT no prisoners were being
taken. This is an extremely difficult
