:"D0N'T IT JEST BEAT ALLr
.ColoneI's Orderly Has an Altogether : .Unfiatterine Opinion of French : Intelligence.

Red, the colonel's orderly, stood in the doorway picking his teeth. Red is six feet two inches tall, and dispro- portionately narrow. He is a member of regiment recruited in the Middle West, but he halls from the Panhandle of Texas, and betrays the fact every time he opens his mouth. At the mo- ment of our approach he was address ing an unseen and presumably a sym- pathetic listener beyond the thresh- old:

You'd think they'd want to know how to talk to people in reglar honest-to. God language-but mo- seein' seemin'ly not a-tall. I'd be ashamed to be SC ignorunt and show it.

MANY USES FOR sANDBAG
Soldiers Employ 1t In Number ot
 Ways Besides What 1t Is Off, ciaIly Intended For.

The sandbag is one of the most use- ful pieces of military equipment found anywhere and the soldier puts it to manifold uses. Their official use, of course, is to be filled with sand or clay and built into ramparts, barricades and trenches. Their unofficial uses are legion.
 The infantryman always uses sand: bag for carrying and. storing his ra- tions, for patching and re-enforcing his clothing, for lining and curtaining his dugout, for mutfling mallets and stakes when putting up wire in No Mans Land. They make excellent gai' ters,. being tied on over the puttees as further protection against mud and damp. They make cozy mufflers in bad weather. They are used to cover shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection, and they are frequently in demand for rife covers.
 Many soldiers always pull two sand bags over their feet and legs when go- ing to bed in billets; in other words, the sandbag Is Tommy's najamas. The warmth and comfort of burlap sand bag when pulled over chilled feet is astonishing.
 , The postman's mailbag at the front is nothing more than an empty sand bag, and the water carriers also use two sandbags, slung back and front over the shoulder. each containing q nptrO fin full of water.
 "The war will be over," soldier wit once said, "when all of Belgium and France has been put into sand bags"

WAR WRITER'S TO
 STUDY THE BRITISH

London, August 10.-ln order to facilitate the study of the psychology of the English people" the ministry of information has established in its quarters here an overseas press cen ter. There, in comfortably furnish ed club rooms containing reference lIDrary, newspapers and periodicals, the representatives of the press of allied and neutral countries will be in close touch with the ministry. In opening the center, Lord Beaver brook. minister of information, said it was important for the journalists tc understand the determination Or this country to win the war. He urged that advantage be taken Ot the op- portunity that would be afforded to study the people. "YOu will sec" he said, that never have we Strived so hard. and you will realize that the British people will perSevere to the end. Everything depends oa the will of the people. The mental atti- tude of munitions makers is as im- pbrlant as that of the men who fight the battles"
 ''Too often," he said, war corre- spondents pay over-much attention to maps. They judge the position by the .swaying battle lines. When how ever, you understand properly how the whole British nation is straining every nerve to attain the one great end, and how set-backS only stiffen their resolution, then only can you gauge the true position of affairs We hope by means of this center to make such an understanding possi ble'
