CHAPTER XII.
Bombinu,

The Boys in the section welcomed me
back, but there were many strange
faces. Several Of our men had gone
West in that charge, and were lying
somewhere in France" with little
wooden cross at their heads. We were
in rest billets. The next day eur cap
tain asked for volunteers for bombers'
school. l gave my name and was ac-
cepted. I had joined the Suicide club,
and my troubles commenced. Thirty
two men of the battalion, including my
self, were sent to l., where we
went through course In bombing.
Here we were instructed in the uses,
methods of throwing and manufacture
Of various kinds Of hand grenades.

to the present Mills bomb, the standard
of the British army.
It all depends where you are as to
what you are called. In France they
call YOU q "bOmber" and give you med
ais. while in neutral countries they
call YOU an anarchist and give you
"life"
From the very start the Germans
were we'll equipped with effective
bombs and trained bomb throwers, but
the English army was as little pre-
pared in this important department of
fighting as in many others. At bomb
ing school an old sergeant of the Gren-
adler guards, whom l had the good
fortune to meet, told me of the discOur-
agelnents this branch OF the service
suffered before they could meet the
Germans on an equal footing. Paci-
fists and small army people IN the
U. S. please read with care) The first
English eEDcditionary forces had no
bombs at all. but had clicked q lot of
casualties from those thrown by the
BOches. One bright morning someone
higher up had IN idea and issued an
order detailing two men from each
platoon to go to bombing school to
learn the duties Of q bomber and how
to manufacture bombs. NoncOmmis-
stoned officers were generally selected
for this course. After about two
weeks at school they returned to their
units in rest billets or in the fire
trench, as the case might be, and got
busy teaching their platoons how to
make 'jam tins"
Previously an order had been issued
for all ranks to save empty jam tins
for the manufacture of bombs. A pro-
fessor Of bombing would sit on the
fire step in the front trench with the
remainder Of his section crowding
around to see him work.
On his left would be pile of empty
and rusty jam tins, while beside him
on the fire step would be miscella-
ne0us assortment Of material used in
the manufacture Of the liam tins
Tommy would stOOp down, get an
empty "iam tin" take handful of
clayey mud from the parapet, and line
the inside of the tin with this sub
stance. L men he NCulu Ieicn over,
pick up his detOnatOr and explosive,
and insert them in the tin. fuse pro-
truding On the fire step would be a
pile Of fragments Of shell, shrapnel
balls, bits of iron, nails, etc-anything
that was hard enough to send over to
Fritz; he would scoop up handful OF
this junk and put it in the bomb. Per
hapS one of the platoon would ask him
what he Gid this for, and he would
explain that when the bomb exploded
these bits would fly about and kill or
wound any German hit by same; the
questiOner would Immediately pull a
button off his tunic and hand 1t to
the bomb maker with, "Well, blame
me, send this over as souvenir" Or
another Tommy would volunteer an
old rusty and broken jackknife; both
would be accepted and inserted.
Then the professor would take an
other handful Of mud and fill the tin,
after which he would punch hole in
the lid OF the tin and put it over the
top Of the bomb, the fuse sticking out.
Then perhaps he would tightly wrap
wire around the outside Of the tin. and
the bomb was ready to send over TO
Fritz with TOmmy's compliments.

remains that he missionaries which
have been sent out by Mr.. Frank T..
Galloway, director of this Nursing
Survey, have not been as fully or as
generally answered as they might be
and as they should be. The Red Cross
Chapters have been earnestly urged
to appoint special committees to hand
lie this work and it could easily be ac-
complished if these committees would
approach the various hospitals, the
nurses clubs, the church societies and
munity. 1t is impossible to say
whether or not this has been done !;
but it is a fact that the results of the
survey have not been sufficient as yet.
The question has arisen as to WHY
the Government wants this list of
women who can nurse. This answer to
this question would be because the
Government is always anxious to pos
sess q full knowledge of the sources
Of help which may be, relied upon in
time of need, whether It be industri-
al, professional or commercial. But,
on the other hand, the Government
has no intention and no power to con-
script woman for nursing service
without that woman's personal CON"
sent. The call for this list of nursing
for the list and covers absolutely no
hidden motive. No woman need fear
to ill out questionnafre or to give
her name freely as belonging to one
who has tended the sick, for by so
giving she merely meets reasonable
request of the Government which OBJ
ligates her to absolutely nothing in
the way Of service.
Many rural communities have no
registered nurses available; many
have some capable women who have
offered their services to friends and
neighbors in times of illness and it is
reasonable to suppose that should the
need arise the same women would
come forward today as they have no
doubt often come in the past, and
ment would feel much better satisfied
in taking the registered nurse for
service, for which she may have ap-
piled, if it could be understood that in
that particular town there were still
left fair number Of women who
could nurse if an emergency arose.
No cne can foresee pesrilence or ac-
cident; but both conditions arise, and
it is kindly forethought to provide
for such conditions if they should
come, and this is the underlying prin-
ciple embodied in the whole nursing
survey.
There should be no woman in the
whole country, who, having the neces-
sary knowledge, would still refuse to
enroll under the barncr of the nursing
service, for each one may be sure that
only her own willingness to serve and
her own intention to do so, would ever

London, Nov. 4.-British troops last
night stormed the steel works held by
the Germans southeast of Valen-

The statement reads:
yesterday evening the steel works

with much determination, was taken

"Our line was advanced for a dis

HOMEMADE GRAPE JUICE

Any person familiar with the proc

ripened but not ovcr-ripc grapes
should be used. The juice may be ex-
tractcd by hand or in a cider mill if a
light-colrcd product is desired. Heat
this liquid to the boiling point, place
in stcrilizcd bottles or jars and care
fully seal. The product may be sweet
ened or not at the time of bottling.
When q red juice is desired the
grapes "hould firsc be heated to a
temperature Of 200 degrees Fahrcn-
hcit and then strained through a clean
cloth or dripping bag. Rehcat the
liquid after straining, place in con-
tainers and seal.
Keep the bottles or cans in a cool
place. If bottles are used the corks
should be sterilized and the necks
sealed with sealing wax. Unfcrmentcd
juice may be made not only from. all
varieties of grapes, but from some
other fruits, such as apples, pears,
cherries and berries.
Unfcrmented grape juice can be
used in sickness, convalesccncc, and
health. 1t is generally claimed that a
reasonably large quantity of this
drink improves digestion, and results
in an increase in body weight. Aside
from being delicious beverage, it
possesses value in adding variety to
