BOOK DONATION WEEK FOR
OUR SOLDIERS-MARCH 1928

Last fall a drive for our million
dollars for soldiers libraries was
held all over the country. 1t was
successful and now fine libraries are
in each cantonment. Marietta con-
tributed twenty-five dollars toward
the fund-a number of magazines,
and sixty books. The money was for
warded to Washington, the maga-
zines given to the local soldiers club,
and the army Y M. c. A. and the
books instead of being sent to Camp
Gordon, were placed in the Y. nj. c..
A. house at Camp Blackjack This
small library is the only one our boys
here have and the appeal is made now
for donations of books. Every one
in Marietta is asked to help. Look
over your books and pick out some
that you like-not old uninteresting
unattractive volumes, but good STIR
ring fiction, interesting books of
travel or books along technical or
military lines. These books may be
sent to Miss Mabel Cortelyou or left
at the Book Store Miss Mabel Cor
telyou will take charge of them, and
have them placed on the shelves of
the Y. NJ c. A. at Camp Blackjack.
No magazines are asked for.

ROAD PLAN DISCUSSED

The Executive committee of the
Georgia State Automobile Associa-
ton, after consideration of the Road
Building plan presented in an article
by Judge N A. Morris in our last
issue, has invited the Judge to be
their guest at a luncheon in Atlanta
on March 18th.
The plan was based on the Drain
age Canal law, and will no doubt be
the subject of much discussion, if 1t
does not reach the point of action,
by the next legislature.

How long must CnSy stay III tHdI
hole? Better die in an effort to get
back, they agreed, than die there
from starvation. They had not had
thing to eat for over twenty-four
terrible exhausting hours.
1t was again dark. Only a rocket
now and then would light up the sky.
Suddenly Kirby said: Boys, I'm
not going to die here like dog. I'm
going to crawl to our lines and tell
them where you are. They can dig
trench out to you and bring you all
in" 1t seemed like suicide for Kirby
to do this His wound prevented him
crawling on his belly. He had to
lie on his back and work forward
by pushing his heels into the ground
Slowly he worked his way along over
the dead bodies which strewed the
ground. He was faint and was suf-
fering great pain. But at last he
reached his goal.
Within two minutes after telling
his story, the shovels were at work
and the dirt was flying, The English
trench diggers were racing with the
sun to resuce the remaining men
Unless the hole could be reached
before dawn, the whole game would
be up, as the new trench would show
the Germans that some men were
hiding in the hole. But the trench
diggers won. Through the muddy
trench were pulled the bodies of the
other eight living men, the eight hap
piest men in France.
For month Kirby lay in the hos
pital fighting death. Finally he was
we'll enough to write two letters. One
of these letters was to an old friend,
too old to enlist, but at work in a
shipyard near Liverpool. Let me
quote from this letter of Kirby's:
"Jack, it breaks my heart to see
in the papers that you and your COM
rades are now wasting time to
scrap about wages, hours, and such
child-play didn't blame you before
the war. was then labor union
man myself l will not blame you
for doing so after the war. If live
we'll be union men together. But for
Gods sake, Jack, forget such things
now. Remember that we fellows are
suffering, starving, and dying over
here, largely for want of more ships.
"Why, Jack, if l could only change
places with you, would work all day
and all night, and be happy to live
on bread and water. Jack, the very
worst conditions which you ever saw
are Heaven to what US boys over
here are going through. What's
money or hours or anything else COM
pared with getting ships built to save
US from He'll? say, Jack, for Gods
sake do more for us!
/ hear you don't believe in war,
Jack Well, | guess none of us fel-
lows like war much better than you
do. But let me tell you that the on
ly way to make this the last war is
to give us your very best now. Please,
please help us. And say, Jack, please
post this letter where the other boys
will see it. Can't write any more.
I'm too weak. Goodbye"
Reader, today this applies to us as
it applied to the English workers
year ago How shall we answer it?

Kirby:S Letter

For fourteen years Kirby has been
faithful worker in a pottery fac
tory in England. In 1915 he was
drafted to the colors. In 1916 he
was sent to the trenches in France.
For three months he lived like rat
in hole. On May goth, 1916, the
word went through the trenches that
at II o'clock that night his company
would take their turn at fighting
death.
All the evening the big British
guns had been storming the German
lines with terrific furor. Crack! !!
Boom! CrashL A constant thunder! |!
Bombs exploding every second. A
rain of fire! Meanwhile Kirby wrote
a note-his last he feared-to his
wife and each of the four children.
1t was hard, yes, very hard, but the
other men were doing the same. Yes,
thousands of men wrote their last
note that very night
Suddenly at II o'clock the cannons
stopped. For minute it was quiet
as death. Then at the sound of
pistol Kirby and his comrades sprung
up their little ladders into the open
space between the English and Ger
man trenches. There they threw
their hand grenades. But only Ger
man corpses were in that trench.
They had all been killed by the shells.
Forward, still forward, they kept
running breathlesSly up to the second
line of trenches. Here a terrible
hand-to-hand fight took place with
few remaining Germans. These Ger
mans and half of the English were
chopped up in the fight. Kirby still
lived. On, he and his comrades
pushed to the third line of German
trenches. They simply ran blindly.
They were drunk with the joy of get
ting back for France a few more
yards of her SOIL
When the third line of enemy
trenches were reached, it was a diff
ferent story. Here German rein
forcements had been gathered. Kir-
by drew his revolver and fired at
the first German he saw. The next
moment Kirby himself fell to the
ground stunned. When he came to,
he found himself on two corpse soak
ing in blood. He raised his head to
look about. Whizz, went bullet
within an inch of his ear Four
other bullets struck the ground about
him.
1t was now about six the next
morning. Kirby could not advance
to the German trenches; nor retreat
to his own in the rear. For eight
hours there he lay in the hot sun,
wounded man on top of two corpses
one an Englishman and one Ger
man. Suddenly, just before dusk that
day, he spied a big hole in the ground
which had been made by a great
shell the night before. Inch by inch
he dragged his weary body toward
this hole. Only one more pull and
he peeped over the edge. Inside
were dozen of his wounded COM
rades and all but four were still a
live
There Kirby and his brothers lay
all day while the fire from both sides
again blazed over their heads. One
75cm shell exploded over them. The
mere impact threw a dead soldier
on top of Kirby. A piece of another
shell cut off the foot of a sergeant
at Kirby's side All of them were
hurt in some way by this lombard
ment. Around them the wounded
were mourning. Some even had the
death rattle. Their hope grew dim.

FOODSTUFF TO MEXICO

Mexico City. July 1N.-Notifcation
that the United States government
would permit free expectation to
Mexico Of certain foodstuffs under
certain restrictions and under direc-
ton of the Federal food administra-
ton was presented to the MeXicYr
government today through the Am
erican embassy.
The notification made it clear that
the United States expects that the
Mexican government, in return, would
permit expectation to the United
States of articles not needed by Mex
leo and also guarantee that imports
from the United States would not be
re- exported. 1t was also stated that
articles on the list of free export
were not the only articles that Mex
leo could secure. If other imports
were desired, the Mexican govern
ment. through proper representa-
tions, could secure additional i'm
ports if these articles were not alb
solutely necessary to the United
States for the prosecution Of the
war.
The action of the American gov
eminent is explained as its method
of giving proof Of the sincerity of the
declarations Of friendship for Mexico
made by President Wilson in his adj
dress to Mexican journalists in
Washington early in June.
The articles listed in the notifca-
ton are corn. corn -four, condensed
