CHAPTER VII.

To complete our misery, we received
orders during the night to attack the
French at Ais In the morning. We
made our preparations under a pour
Ing rain. Promptly at Ais we went
over the top, jumping over corpses and
wounded men. We were forced to re.
tire before hail Of machine gun fire
and sustaining large number Of I'm.
necessary casualties.
Hardly had we regalned our trenches
when the French attacked us. They
came within three meters Of our trench,
and here their attack broke down un.
der our fire. They too had to retire
with fearful losses.
Three times in two hours the French
attacked. always with heavy losses
and no results. We were at our wits
end. Unless help came soon 1t would
be impossible for us to hold the posi-.
ton. We were tortured by hunger and
thirst as well as being wet TO the skin
and were so exhausted that we could
hardly stand.

Because we have used up all our
ammunition" was the answer of one Of
the battery men.
'Is it impossible to bring ammunl-
ton through this barrage2"
"NO," replied the artilleryman, "but
there is no more ammunition. That is
why we cannot get any. At Neufcha-
teau we started like wild men after the
enemy. Man and beast died from the
heat, railroads and other mediums Of
transportation were left in their dam
aged condition in the wild excitement
Of victory, as we dashed into the heart
of France. We raced on, blindly and
thoughtlessly, thereby interruptlng
communication with our bases, ran
directly into the trap set for us by the
French. Before the first ammunition
and other relief supplies reach us we
will all be killed"
Up to this time we had trusted
blindly In the invincible strategy Of our
great general STAFF. Now It was brought
home to US on all sides that the
French were fighting at home, close
to their greatest source Of supply, and
had excellent railroad connections at
their disposal. Further than that the
French maintained a terrible artillery
fire from guns Of far greater caliber
than we believed they owned. This led
US to the conclusion that they were oc-
cupying positions which had been pre-
pared for long time. Yet we believed
that the picture painted by the artll-
leryman had been too black. We were
soon to know better.
AS we approached the enemy's
trenches, we were met with a heavy
machine gun fire, and in double-quick
step hurried to the temporary protec-

ton Of hastily thrown up dugouts. A
hard rain had set In. The field around
us was covered with dead and wound,
ed. Even our trench was filed with
wounded, which made its occupation
by the defenders difficult. Many OF
the wounded men were paralyzed from
lying on the Shiny ground. All were
without bandages. They begged for
bread and water, but we had none for
ourselves. They pleaded plteously, Just
for scrap Of bread. Many of them
had lain In this inferno for two days,
without having eaten anything what
ever.
We were scarcely established when
the French attacked en- masse. The oc-
cupants OF these trenches. whom we
had REINFORCED had already repulsed
several Of these attacks. They urged
rs to shoot and fred wildly themselves
into the ranks Of the advancing masses.
We responded to the exhortations Of
the infantry officers: Fire. fire hard

Success in the house of representa-
tiyes is not always followed by sue
cess in the senate. In fact, great
deal Of prominence in the house Of rep
resentatlves is rather a detrlment to a
man when transferred to the upper
branch of congress, particularly If he
continues TO be active and assumes a
position of leadership. This has been
shown in the case of Senator Under
wood of Alabama, who was all-pOwer-
full in the house, more powerful than
the speaker, by reason of his position
as chairman of the ways and means
committee. When Underwood came
to the senate he received his first set
back by antagOnizlng Chairman Sim
mons If the finance committee on a
revenue bill. Not even his prestige as
the manager of several revenue bills
in the house gave him any particular
power In the senate and Simmons
found 1t comparatively easy to win
out. Underwdod's second reverse
came when he tried TO amend the rules
so as to limit debate. The negative
vote was not due to the fact that I'M
derwOOd was comparatively new man
in the senate, but there were a great
many older senators, and quite mum.

great deal of satisfaction in the result,

ploring. Their cries are augmented
by other wounded closer by. All called
for bandages, but we had none left. We
tore strips from our muddy shirts and
with them covered the gaping wounds.
Men are dying constantly. There are
no doctors, no bandages, nothing. The
wounded must be assisted, but first the
Frenchsmust be repulsed.
The rain falls harder constantly and
we are all wet to the skin. We shoot

The critics Of large appropriations

A rather remarkable occurrence
happened in congress few days ago,
which has not attracted general notice.
1t was speech by a Southern man.
Congressman Pou of North Carolina,
in which he extolled and praised the
negro race. He alluded to the fact
that the negroes of the South had sub
scribed 100000 for Liberty bonds. He
reverted to the days of the Civil war
and said that the people then saw the
negro tested as few people have ever
been tested in the history of the
world"
Congressman Pou then went on to
deny that there was any possibility OF
disl0yalty among the negroes and as
serted that the German propagandists
who had gone among them would fail.
"The negro race as a rule live in hum
BILE homes" said POu. "As l stand
here now l can see all over the South
the vine-clad cabins of this kindly
race. They have their faults, but dis
loyalty is not among them" He said
that from the homes all over the South
the young negro men were answering
to their country's call, Here; we are
ready"

The United States senate Is some
what scary as to what Is going to
happen after the coming election. 1t
is not so much a matter Of political
complexion Of the senate as the per-
sonnet. OF course both political par
ties would like TO have their side win
and be in control, but above political
control Is the personal equation.
Not only Is the senate threatened
with Henry Ford from Michigan, but
1t is barely possible that two women
senators may appear on the 4th of
next March. OF course there is no
objection to Henry Ford, save that
the senate would much prefer pro-
found statesmen, lawyers who could
become great diplomats or constitu-
tional opponents. The senate is com
posed mostly of lawyers, and It does
not now take and never has taken
kindly to the business man as a states
man. The senate was ready to turn
the cold shoulder to Mark Hanna be-
cause he was the business man In pol
itics.
AS to the ether phase Of the ques-
ton, 1t is quite possible that num-
Der of senator's will welcome the wom-
en- when they come, but take the SEN
ate as whole II is likely that the in
noyation of women senator's is going
to cause some CONSERVATION.

The war department has three or
four times as many men training and
ready to fly as are needed ut the pres
ent time, on account OF the lack of air
planes. Congressman Shallenberger Of
Nebraska, a member of the military
committee, explained why it was that
there are so many men anxious for
service in the aviation corps. He said
1t was tremendously attractive to
young men. The aviators service at
the front is vastly different from that
of other men in the army. Infantry
and artillery are in the front of battle,
in the trench and in the mud, and they
have little opportunity to sleep on ac-
tive service. The aviator and those
in charge of the machines are miles in
the rear, sometimes out of the sound
of the big guns. They have their quar-
tiers in which to sleep. 1t is the most
desirable service so far as personal
comfort is concerned of any n the
army"
But it Is not alone the personal com.
fort; all that Is left of romance In war
belongs to aviation. Everybody has
read enough of what war means either
on land or rea under present condl-
lions to know that the romance is
taken out Of II. The cavalry used to
furnish some thrills, and the field ar
tillery as well. Even the infantry at
times, by long marches, climbing
mountains and swift movements strik-
ing the enemy unawares, occasionally
did things that furnished a thrill and
story. In these days there is moth
Ing leg but service in the air to make
war picturesque or romantic That Is
one reason why so many young men
are attracted TO II.

No one has yet been able to find a
method for keeping senator's In their
seats during any kind OF a debate.
One of the arguments in favor of limit
ing debate in the senate was that II
would make senator's remain. Senator
Sherman of Illinois insisted that no
matter what the senate did It could
not force senator's to stay and listen
TO speeches in which they were not In
terested. The Illinois senator went In.
TO the subject at considerable length
analyzing the methods pursued not
only in the congress Of the United
States, but in the parliament OF Great
Britain. and proved what every legIs-
lator knows. that comparatively few
men remain In the chamber to transact
the business Of congress and parlia.

Four senators who had announced
their intention Of retiring from the
senate at the end of their terms next
March have for one reason or another
been compelled to reconsider their de-
termination. Two of them, Nelson Of
Minnesota and Warren of Wyoming
are survivors of the Civil war. The
death Of Senator BOrah'S colleague in
duced the Idaho senator TO reconsider
his determination to quit public life.
The political situation in New Mexico
and the urgent demand of friends final
ly compelled Senator Fall of that state
to reconsider his determination to
leave the senate.
II had arranged all the affairs for
my future life" said Senator Fall, "and
had fully determined to quit public
life, but conditions have arisen which
have made 1t practically impossible for
me to do So" Generally speaking,
personal friends of men insist upon
their remaining in the senate, but it Is
always an advantage to the senate
when experienced men continue ID that
body.

AS time goes on it becomes evident
that the Germans are taking a course

been created in other countries with
which Germany is at war. So far,
however the feeling against Germany
has not reached the stage of leglsa-
