Quite a few of the metropolitan
papers are exercised about the
labor propositions in the manu-,
featuring centers, etc. and recon-
mend that the employers and EN-,
plOyees get together and talk over
their differences and give and take
and in that way avoid future dis
turbances. This sounds good, Of
course, but if martial law was de
clared in these troublesome centers
there would be case of take and
give" that would beat give and
take" all to pieces-take the labor
aeitators out and give them HI

Meeting the Great Test.

The steadiness, confidence and
unbroken spirit with which the
French and British people are meet
ing the battle crisis in which so
much is involved for them cannot
fail to inspire Americans with the
highest admiration. There has been
nothing finer in war that tested
the fiber of all nations.
1t is difficult for Americans to
understand the terrible strain under
which these peoples have endured
nearly four years of war and the re-
curing crises which for weeks and
months at time have threatened
to break the resistance of their
armies and admit the pent food of
barbarism. The roar of the guns
has been heard in London. Paris
has been under fire. A break in
the lines and all Northern France
might be inundated, the British
armies swept back to the sea and
England be open to invasion. The
lines have held, and the French and
British peoples at home have held
There has been sober realization of
the imminence of the danger, but
nothing of panic, nothing of fear,
nothing of that giving way of the
buttresses of national character and
stamina on which the Germans had
counted for a moral decision"
Americans cannot know what
their Allies have endured because
they cannot sense war at their fire.
sides They cannot follow the bat
tie in the rolling of It's Ihunders or
by the nerve depressing spectacle of
the trainloads of wounded coming
back from the trout. They have
been spared this imminence of the
deadly business But they can see
and admire and take as an inspiring
lesson to their own hearts and
minds the splendid exhibition of
firmnesS. calmness and unfiinchine
resolution which the French and
5. itiSh nations are putting back of
their gallant armies in these terrible
hours.
: All honor to our Allies! Armies
that can fight like this and nations
that can support them as their
peoples are doing have something
TO fight for worth the fighting and
worth the dying

was unwise to bring Uncle Sam into

have thus informed them when the

Now, that the farmer ooyS are to
be left at home until after the crop
is harvested, the farmers might
show their appreciation for the
favor by investing a dollar or two
in Liberty Loan Bonds which, in
many. many cases they have to do.
We see no just reason why farm
er who is assured a good price for
all he raises should not be just as
patriotic and invest his money just
as willing as the merchant, the
laborer or any one else. 1t is of
just as much interest to the farmer
that the Allies and the United
States win this war as it is to be
the business men or the laboring
men.

A British airman, Lieut.. w. A.

the following account of recent 5S-
minute raid on German dump as
characteristic of this form of activity:
"On this particular night there was
not enough moonlight for long raid,
so the target given us was German

located the position of this one, and
started out on the raid with high hopes
of success.

utes we could just make out the out
line of sheds. This was good, but we
let out parachute flare to light up the
ground, and make sure we were over
the target. This promptly dispelled all
doubts, for the Hun ScarchlightS
opened up at once, and hail of ma
chine gun bullets leaped up from the
ground, Anti-aircraft guns had been
firing for some time, but the shells
were bursting well above us, and Civ

"The parachute flare proved real

machine guns concentrated upon it,,
giving US just sufficient time to dive
swiftly, release our bombs switch on
the engine and start climbing.

CAN'T HOLD MARINES
Forget About Kamerad" When
They Chase Huns.
PENNSYLVANIA Boy Gives interesting
Account Of Thrilling Work
at Front.

New Castle, Pa.-Byrn Williams, a
New Castle boy with the medical corps
in France, writes home of the hap
peninss on the front controlled by the
United States marines prior to June
2S He says the marines forgot all
about the word "kamerad" when they
chased the Germans. He writes:
IL must say this is n much hotter
spot than the other front, for here
it is open warfare and you can imag-
inc what Is going on here when they
put Americans in such Il place. About
three weeks ago, when the marines
FIRST started to advance, they got the
fever of going after the square heads
and their officers had hard time hold
ing them back. That kind of business
has been going on so long that last
night the marines wanted to go over
and get some machine gun nests that
were planted on rocky ledge In a
large woods.
"About five o'clock they high-balled
and so did everybody else. At eight
o'clock they had taken all the machine
gun nests and, of course. they want
ed to chase the Huns out of the woods
and away they went, the square
heads yelling kamerad,' but the ma
rines could not understand the word.
So the only Boche left in the woods
now Is under the sod. After Kidding
the woods of the Germans at the edge
Of the woods where large force of
Boches were located, we surrounded a
regiment of the enemy and finally sue
ceeded in defeating them after hard
battle. About 800 Huns were captured
at this one place."

the story with tears in his eyes ana
a break in his voice. He said That II
was the saddest thing that he ever
had encountered, which meant much.
He had been a long time in France
so death and suffering were no strall-
gers to him. But when he spoke OF
the sergeant and the private that they
had found dead beside their machine
gun he couldn't control his emotion.
II seems that the sergeant and the

ner that made one proud to be OF the
same race.
Held OF Whole Company.
When they found them there was
pile of empty shells several >inches
high around the gun and not single
round of unexpended ammunition re-
mained. The two had held off whole
company of Boche machine gunners
for several hours.
The enemy had been around a bend
In the road, scant 30 yards away,
and hadn't been able to advance be-
cause Of the brisk fire Of the lone
American gun manned by the SER
geant and the private. The sergeant
had been evidently pointing the gun
and the private had been feeding it,
Their only protection had been a lit
tie ridge where the dirt had been
thrown up beside the road.
The underground just behind them
had been cut to ribbons by the Boche
bullets and the trees near where the
enemy had been were Scared by Yam
kee fire. It had been the hottest kind
of fight and the Americans had been
winning against the terrible odds un-
til shell burst right on them and
killed both.
Whether 1t was a Boche shell or
one Of our own, nobody ever Will
know. Both sides had been firing into
that part Of the wood. Whatever the
source Of the shell, 1t had done its
work quickly and thoroughly, for the
men were badly torn. Death prob
ably had come instantaneously. They
had gone while the joy Of battle was
still upon them.
Death Not In Vain.
It was a glorious death but sad
one because few minutes after the
shell landed, the Boche had been
Obliged to retire. Another half an
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe. But they had not died In
vain. The company that they had
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines a story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
BOche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice Of these two lives will save
others.
They called on the Y. NJ. G. A. man
to help bury these two heroes. 1t was
not his first experience as member
of burial party because he had been
at the front all through the big push.
AS he aided In the burial he could not
help wishing that Of all the thousands
engaged In that battle these two might
have been spared.
