 COOPERATION NECESSARY
 To my mind, the next step ateer the should be the forming of cooperative delivery systems .mong the retailers of every community This would not only reduce the individual delivery expense of each concern participating, but it would at the same time relieve men and equipment for other work This in itself
 is of vital importance, because the la Dor situation is such that every il- able man not absolutely necessar. in the regular business channels should be released to join the men in the factories and industries doing government work. II
 is of more importance to community for it's men to apply their time to pro- ducing that which the community needs than to be wasting time on work that can be saved if more concentrated de-
 livery organization is inaugurated
 Recently six retail stores in southern town of approximately 15.o0o inhabitants formed a cooperative delivery system, with the result that instead of us ng half a dozen trucks and as many men, one truck and one man was found 10 be sufficient The five trucks thus re lieved were put to work in transporting other supplies that had been held up.
 Similar results. I understand. have been secured by not only merchants associa- tions, but by private. individuals wno have contracted to handle the merchants deliveries at not oniy saving to the merchants, but also proving prohtao'e financial venture to themselves
 Result, the merchant pays a lower | aG his pOOQS--llS cuS- toners do not have to wait for separate delivery of different articles-less equip ment and labor is used, releasing men and trucks needed for more important work, and with the substitution ot mo tor trucks for horse-drawn vehicles greater economy and dependahility were assured.

We got orders to attack. We
started over the one hundred ard

concentrating a hot fire on us from
the ridge. We had no artillery be-
hind us to keep this fire down, as
our guns that were on this sector
had been captured by the Germans
in their advance the night before.
The whole show looked hopeless
to us as far as we personally were
concerned. All the other officers
except myself were either killed or
wounded. had only handful Of
men left We kept on about hun
dred yards farther. With 50 few
men, and those rapidly growing less,
it seemed useless to proceed and
again we dug in and stayed there
until darkness enabled us to move
about and get a clearer idea OF the
situation.
Then ! found we had about thir-
ty men and shortly behind us | ran
into an English subaltern who had
been following us up to the attack.
He also had about thirty men left
from his regiment. While consid-
ering our very precarious position,
a runner brought us word that the
rest OF our troops would take up
position in the old trench about
two hundred yards to the rear. SO
we collected our small commands,
picked up the wounded and moved
oil to this new position There I
found three more officers of our
regiment with a number Of men.
Here we were able to reorganize
to some extent We found out Of
twenty officers and 500 men. we
had four officers left and 200 men.
Two hours were spent in this
trench when orders came TO move

miles away. Three days more under
constant, heavy shell fire; two more
