CHAPTER XXI.

Punishments and Maehine-G Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; In
fact, from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or ''up against the wall, "
as Tommy calls it.
This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
q safeguard, striking superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky.

Got Their "LiveIy Time"

A famous lion-tamer tells Of a queer
Christmas present he once received. It
was a consignment from a friend
abroad of three bOa-constrictors and
Eve alligators, with Jim's best wishes
for q lively time" The non-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
ST shall never forget how annoyed I
was when, during the night, two Of the
alligators broke out Of their boxes in
orr bedroom and began exploring. i
could not find the matches, and and
nv wife remained on top Of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily, my wife
never thought Of the thing that wor-
>ried me. I was afraid the alligators
might call on the Demonstrations to
wish them a Merry Christmas, and so
wake them up tool"

overlook.
The Germans made three counter
attacks, which we repulsed, but not
without heavy loss on our side. They
also suffered severely from our shell
and machine-gun fire. The ground was
spotted with their dead and dying.
The next day things were somewhat
quieter, but not quiet enough to bury
the dead.
We lived, ate and slept i'm that trench
with the unburied dead for six days.
1t was awful to watch their faces be.
come swollen and discolored. Towards
the last the stencil was fierce.
What got on my nerves the most was
that foot sticking out Of the dirt. It

strong that went to it and grasped it

I never heard him say anything out Of

hurt the officers feelings had he been

wouldn't even take advantage of a
dead man in an argument.
To civilians this must seem dread

are not shocked by seeing dead tur-

CHANGE MAZE IN SUGAR LIMIT
ALI Distribution Has Been Curtai:ed
Approximately Fifty
Per Cent.

Raleigh.-Ffve instead Of ten
pounds for the country consumer; Is
Instead OF so pounds upon certificate
and pledge for canning and preserv-
ing purposes with larger quantities
allowed with approval Of county food
administrators, is the new sugar pro-
gram as announced by State Food
Administrator Henry A. Page upon re-
ecipt of advices from United States
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover
regarding the growing seriousness of
the sugar situation as O result of sub
marine activities which are interfer-
ing with the shipments Of sugar from
Cuba and Porto Rico.
In addition to this rather radical
adjustment in the sugar distribution
program. Mr.. Page invites beverage
syrup manufacturers, owners Of bot
thing works, soda fountains, and other
commercial users Of sugar who are
producing less essential articles, to
ar until the situation Is relieved, this,
Of course, involving a shutdown OF
their establishments for time being.
Mr.. Page wants it very clearly un-
1erstood, he said, that the food ad-
ministration does not desire any cur
tailment in canning and preserving,
but he does desire that the utmost
care and economy be exercised in the
use Of sugar even for these purposes.
It is to provide an adequate supply
of sugar for households, and for can
restrictions have been imposed.
Mr.. Page, with his characteristic
b1untness, stated that not only will
his office take. drastic action against
dealers who disregard the new pro-
gram, but that purchases by consum-
ers will be scrutinized as well. With
a complete record of all movements of
sugar into the state, it will be very
easy to check the sale records of
sugar by all consumers,
