little book.
When he had finished writing, he
whispered:
Go into that billet and wait orders
and no talking. Understands"
I stumbled into the barn and sat on
the floor in the darkness. 1 could see
no one. but could hear men breathing
and moving: they seemed nervous and
restless. know I was.
During my wait, three other men
entered. Then the officer poked his
head in the door and ordered:
Fall in, outside the billet, in single
rank"
We fell in. standing at ease. Then
be commanded:
"Squad-'Shun! Numberlr
There were twelve of us.
"Right-Turn! Left-Wheell Quick
March," And away we went. The
rain was trickling down my back and
I was shivertng from the cold.
With the officer leading, we must
have marched over an hour, blowing
through the mud and occasionally
stumbling into shell hole in the road.

With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing Of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved, and a D
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude of
Lloyd, and, with a sheer, said to him:
Instead Of whimpering in that cor
uer, you ought to be saying your pray
ers. It's bally conscripts like you

CHAPTER XIV.
The Firing squad.

A few days later had orders to re-
port back to divisional Headquarters,
about thirty kilos behind the line. /
reported to the A. p. NJ. assistant pro
Vost marshaD. He told me to report
to billet No. 70 for quarters and ra-
lions.
1t was about eight o'clock at night.
and was tired and soon fell asleep In
the straw Of the billet. 1t was mis-
cradle night outside, cold, and drizzly,
cain was falling.
About two in the morning was
awakened by some one shaking me by
tho shoulder. Opening my eyes l saw
a regimental sergeant major bending
over me. He had a lighted lantern in
his right hand. 1 started to ask him
what was the matter, when he put his
finger to his lips for silence and whis.
pered:
"Get on your equipment, and, with
out any noise, come with me-"
!; This greatly mystified me, but I
obeyed his order.
/. Outside Of the billet, asked him
what was up, but he shut me up with:
'D0n't ask questions, it's against or
ders. I don't know myself"
It was raining like the mischief.
We splashed along muddy road fer
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance Of what must have
been an old barn. In the darkness, I
could hear pigs grunting, as II they
had just been disturbed. In front Of
the door stood an officer in a mack
(mackintosh). The r. 8. N. went up
to him, whispered something, and then
left This officer called to me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
same time. In the Night Of lantern u

uncOnsciousness.
| On the next day, he came to-; far
distant voices sounded in his ears.
Opening his eyes, in the entrance of
the dugout he saw corporal and two
men with fixed bayonets.
The corporal was addressing him:
"Get up, you white-livered Brighter!
Curse you and the day you ever joined
ID company, spelling their fine rec
ord! It'll be you up against the wall,
and good job too. Get hold of him,
men, and if he makes break, give him
the bayonet, and send 1t home, the cow
ardly sneak. Come on, you, move,
we've been looking for you long
enough"
Lloyd, trembling and weakened by
his long fast, tottered out assisted by
q soldier on each side of him.
They took him before the captain
but could get nothing out of him but:
"For Gods sake, sir, don't have me
EnOt, dOnt nave me SnOt 7!
The captain, utterly disguised with
him. sent him under escort to division
headquarters for trial by court-mar-
tial charged with deserton under fire.
They shoot deserters in France
During his trial, Lloyd sat as one
dazed, and could put nothing forward
In his defense, only an occasional
"Don't have me shot !"
His sentence was passed: "1N, be
shot at 3 :3S o'clock in the morning of
May 18, 1916" This meant that he
had only one more day to live.
He did not realize the awfulncss of
his sentence; his brain seemed para.
lyzed. He knew nothing of his trip
under guard, in Il motor lorry to the
sandbagged guardroom in the village,
where he was dumped on the floor and
left, while a sentry With fixed bayo-
entrance.
Bully beef, water and biscuits were
left beside him for his supper.
The sentry, seeing that he ate Moth
Ing, came inside and shook him by the
shoulder, saying in kind voice:
"Cheero, laddie, better eat some
thing. You'll feel better. Don't give
up hope. You'll be pardoned before
morning. l know the way they run
these things. They're only trying to
scare YOU, that's all. Come now that's
q good lad, eat something. TIN make
the world look different to you"
The good-hearted sentry knew he
was lying about the pardon He knew
nothing short Of miracle could save
the poor lad.
Lloyd listened eagerly to his sentry's
words, and believed them. A look of
hope came into his eyes, and he raven
ously ate the meal beside him.
In about an hours time, the chap
lain came to see him, but Lloyd would
have none of him. lie wanted no par
son he was to be pnrdoned.
The artillery behind the lines sud
denly opened up with everything they
had. An intense bombardment of the
enemy's lines had commenced The
roar of the guns was deafening.
Lloyd's fears came back with Il rush,
und he covered on the earthen floor
with his hands over his face.
The sentry, seeing his position, came
In and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
"Never mind them guns, boy, they
won't hurt you. They are ours. We
are giving the Boches dose of their

when suddenly the officer made left
wheel, and we found ourselves in sort
IF enclosed courtyard.
The dawn was breaking and the
cain had ceased.
In front Of US were four stacks of
rtfles, three to stack.
The officer brought us to attention
and gave the order to unpile arms. We
each took rifle. Giving us "Stand at
ease," In q nervous and shaky voice,
he informed:
Men, you are here on very solemn
duty. You have been selected as a
firing squad for the execution of sol
der, who, having been found guilty
Of grievOus crime against king and
country, has been regularly and duly
tried and sentenced to be shot at 3 :2S
a. m. this date. This sentence has been
approved by the reviewing authority
| and ordered carried out. 1t is our duty
to carry on with the sentence of the
court.
There are twelve rifles, one Of
which contains blank cartridge, the
other eleven containing ball cartridges.
Every man is expected to do his duty
and fire to kill. Take your orders from
me. Squad-'Shun!
We came to attention. Then he left.
My heart was of lead and my knees
shook.
After standing at Attention. for
what seemed week, though in reality
1t could not have been over five min
utes, we heard q low whispering in our
rear and footsteps on the stone flag
ging Of the courtyard.
Our officer reappeared and in low,
but firm voice, ordered:
"Ab0ut-Turn
We turned about. In the gray light
Of dawn, few yards in front of me,
could make out brick wall. Against
this wall was dark form with white
square pinned on it's breast. We were
supposed to aim at this square. TO the
right of the form noticed white spot
on the wall. This would be my target.
Ready! Aim! Fire!''
The dark form sank into huddled
heap. My bullet sped on it's way, and
hit the whitish spot on the wall;
could see the splinters fly. Some one
else had received the rifle containing
the blank cartridge, but my mind was
at ease, there was no blood Of a
Tommy on my hands.
"Order-Arms About-Turn! Pile
Arms! Stand-Clear."
The stacks were reformed.
"Quick = March! Right - Wheel n
And we left the scene of execution be-
hind US.
1t was now daylight. After march
Ing about five minutes, we were dis.
missed with the following instructions
from the officer in command:
Return, alone, to your respective
companies, and remember, no talking
about this affair, or else it will go hard
with the guilty ones"
We needed no urging to get away. I
did not recognize any of the men on
the firing squad; even the officer was a
stranger to me.
The victims relations and friends in
Blighty will never know that he was
executed; they will be under the i'm
preston that he died doing his bit for
king and country.
In the public casualty lists his pame
Will appear under the caption "Acci-
dentally Killed" or Died.
The day after the execution I re-
ceived orders to report back to the
line, and to keep a still tongue in my
head.
Executions are a part of the days
work, but the, part we hated most of
all, think-certainly the saddest. The
British war department is thought by
many people to be composed of rigid
regulations all wound around with red

WOMEN AS GREAT ORGANIZERS
Matrons Conduct Large National
Gatherings With Zest and Order,
and Not a Man Is to Be Seen.

In the last 20 or 25 years particu-
larly the women of this country have
become past masters in developing
nationwide organizations. The groups
which they have formed sometimes
number as many as a million women.
They take great delight in the perfec-
ton of their machinery. Much of the
social awakening among women, the
desire to improve their surroundings,
comes from the stimulus and the edu-
cation they get from their organiza-
tons.
But these organizations, it should be
noted, are voluntary, writes Ida M.
Tarbell in Harper's Magazine. They
are directed to some purpose which
appeals particularly to the group.
Each stands on it's own feet-that is,
they are not cooperative organiza-
tons; and again, they have nothing to
do with men. Go to one of their
national gatherings. You will see
meetings conducted with zest, an or
der, a directness which throws in the
shade almost any mems convention I
ever saw, and not a man to be seen
anywhere.

Comrades in war j!

Comrades IN war!
Three years have passed since the
German emperor plunged the world
and his people into this most ground
less, senseless and impiOus OF ali wars,
into a sea of blood and tears.
Trained from childhood to be a SOL
der, brought up amid the perverted
views Of the junker and officer caste,
dreaming Of the laurels of the con-
Gueror as the highest ideal, cOunseled
by generals, befriended by war con-
tractors, and even with q financial in
terest in their prCfiteering, he has since
1905 Systematically paved the way for
the war. He desired this war, he per-
mitted the systematic cult Of war in
Germany by the Pan-GermanistS, and
he has encouraged it. He supported
and fomented the almost daily quar-
rels Of the other powers through the
Pan-German press by his infamma-
tory speeches. Last Of all he affixed his
signature to the various declarations of
war; he is fully and entirely RESPONSE
BILE for them.
For nine years the diplomacy Of our
neighbOrs, consistently anxious for
peace, succeeded in avertlng this dis
aster from the world. This was the
policy which was falsely presented to
your ignorance as the Isolation
policy" in reality, peace policy in
which Germany was always most
heartily invited to participate. Ger
many was not isolated, but the German
government, and in it's wake the Aus
TRAN government, deliberately and ma
liciousIy Withdrew from the circle Of
civilized nations, as criminals from hu-
man social circles.
But not only the diplomatic circles
of foreign states, but also German men
of insight and lofty ideals have placed
themselves firmly in opposition to the
emperor's senseIess and extravagant
lust for war, in spite of his wrath, and
have sacrificed their positions rather
than their convictions. This was true
