"Over the top and give 'em hell"
That is the British Tommies's battle
cry as they charge the enemy, and it
has often sounded up and down those
long lines in eastern France as the
British, Canadian and Australian SOL
diers go out to the fight and the death.
We We're divided into six parties of
ten men, each party having separate
duties to perform. We crouched for

stumbling into shell holes and over
dead men-some very long dead-and

neither fearful nor ratified. We had
been drilled so long and so carefully
that each man knew just what he was
to do, and he kept right on doing it
unless he got hit. To me it seemed
the ground was moving back under
me. The first ten yards were the
toughest. The thing was perfectly or
ganized. Our first party of ten was
composed of %signalers. They were pay
ing out wires and carrying telephones
to be used during the fifteen minutes
of our stay in the German trenches
in communicating with our battalion
headquarters. A telephone code had
been arranged, using the names of our
commanding officers as symbols. "Rex-
ford 1" meant "First prisoners being
sent back" "Rexford 2" meant "Our
first wounded being sent over :" REX
ford 3" meant 1--WE have entered Ger

plete, and the signalers had been drill
ed in it for a week. In case the tele-
phone wires were cut, the signalers
were to send messages back by the
use of rifle grenades. These are rifle
projectiles which carry little metal
cylinders to contain written messages
and which burst into flame when they
strike the earth, so that they can be
easily found at night. The officer in

AIRPLANE CHARGES UNJUST
DECI ARES Y. D. MAN

Washington. D. c.. May 23.-George
Y. Halliday. director Of publicity for
the North Dakota Council Of Defense,
who is here with Secretary Box on
important business affecting the inter-
ests OF his state. today gave out the
following interview:
congressman Baer says the state
nlent has been made generally IN the
country that the government mas
spent s640.o00.oO0 and has only one
airplane at the front. Not as sooa-
sor for the administration. but in al
fairness and justice to it, feel the
truth in this matter should be stated.
The government has only spent $780,
o00. 900 for actual aircraft production.
and on May l we had $50 wac planes
in Europe. In addition to those, we
mad 1900 training planes in France.
and in America we have over 1000
planes. and We are manutac-
turing them at the rate Of more than
900 a month. The expenditures
also include airplane equipment, Sc
lected timber. motors and various 9TH
er parts which, when assembled viii
make a mighty aerial deet.
Il believe il these facts were
.ruchfully placed in the hands Of the
people they would be aroused By our
achievements instead Of feeling dis
outraged over false statements.
