CHAPTER TX.
Laid Up for Repairs.

One night, after | had been at Dix
nude for about three weeks, we made
a charge in the face of a very heavy
fire. Our captain always stood at the
parapet when we were going over, and
made the sign of the cross and shouted,
''For God and France" Then we would
go over. Our officers always led us,
but have never seen a German officer
lead a charge. They always were be-
hind their men, driving instead of lead
ing. I do not believe they are as brave
as they are said to- be.
Well, we went over this time, and
the machine guns were certainly going
it strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make it and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not man of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
two o'clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell
crater full of water for several hours.
He would not 90 back for treatment
then, and when daylight came, it was
too late, because we were practically
cut Off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on us, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-f1ve yards away. We re-
ceived bombs and shells right in our
faces. A Tunisian In our company got
crazy, and ran back over the parados
He ran few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. / think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to US. Then the spot
where he had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. I do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
ploded. He had been hit by big
shell. and absolutely cut in two.
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one In France.
About seven o'clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had. we entered it, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on US,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely. They killed numbers
of their own men in this way. But the

Proclamation by the Pres
ident OF the United
States Of America.

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve it.
We no4 know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what SUI
preme service it is TO be America S
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for US in this
Hateful year peculiar and thrilling
significance. We should make it u day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, l. Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday, the 18th
day OF October, 1918, as Liberty day.
On that day | request the citizens of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate a generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commem-
oratiye addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
lions should be arranged for in every
neighborhoOd under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
tion with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thoritieS. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure Of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
its discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
end guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday,
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
this 10th day of September in the year

dred and Eighteen, and of the hide

fire was so heavy that, when they coun-
ter-attacked, we had to retire again.
and this time they kept after US and
drove us beyond the trench we had
originally occupied.
We left them there, with our artil-
lery taking care of them, and our ma
chine guns trying to enfilade them, and
moved to the right. There was a
bunch of trees there, about like small
woods, and as we passed the Germans
concealed in 1t opened fire on us, and
we retired to some reserve trenches.
We were pretty much scattered by this
time, and badly cut up. We reformed
there. and were Joined by other Of our

1.-THE men were lined up on the edge
of the hollow. which runs from the
high road to the bottom of the village.

This Belgian had escaped by hiding
he could not remember how many
days-in an old cart filed with manure
and rubbish. He had chewed old hides
for food, had swan across the river,
and hid in mud bank for almost a
week longer, and finally got to France.
He took 1t very hard when we talked
about Dixmude, and I told him that
the old church was just shot to pieces.
He asked about painting called the
Alteration Of the Magi," and one of
the other prisoners told us it had been
saved and transported to Germany. If
that is true, and they do not destroy

My wound was just clean gunshot
wound and not very serious, so, al
though it was not completely healed,
they let me go after three weeks. But
before / went, I saw something that
no man of us will ever forget. Some
OF them took VOWS just like the men
OF the legion have told about.
One of the patients was a German
doctor, who had been picked up in No
Mans Land, very seriously wounded.
He was given the same treatment as
any OF us, that is, the very best, but
finally. the doctors gave him up. They
thought he would die slowly, and that
it might take several weeks.

MERELY COUSINS OF CHRIST
/. Explanation of Biblical Passages That
Seem to Say the Redcen1er Had
Brothers and Sisters.

To judge from the passages Matthew
1874, 46; 1855. &c; Luke T:19; st.
John T::3, 3, 10, Christ undoubtedly had
brothers and sisters. These passages,
are however. contradlcted by others,
from which we learn that the pretend
ed brothers Of Christ were only his
cousins. Thus. according 10 Luke
6;15. and John 10 %, Iaues was the
son of one Alpheus or C!eophas, and
Mary. the Virgins sister. From Mat
thew 81 :55 and Mark 10 40, we learn
that Joscs, or Joseph was James
brother, and -, according to Luke
j:16. was also Jude In other pas
snges the fourth pretended brother Of
Christ is designated by The Jews "a
the brother Of james. Jude aud Jeses.5
II Is also claimed, in explanation Of
this theological puzzle, that the Jews
were wont to apply the term brother
to cousins. TO relatives ~ collateral
line. and even to mere w ENDS (Gene-
sis 12:14-2e). The view that the
aforementioned personages were hut
