May z, 1918.
Everything goes we'll so far. There
is a good deal of firing on both sides
all the time, but it is quieter than !
expected to see it. 1t has just cleared
up to-day-had been cloudy and foggy
all the time. Things livened up little
more to-day-especially up in the air
and they may break loose for fair before
long. If so, all right-we are going
TO try to give them more than they can
take.
We have had an excellent officers
mess here-the best French fried po-
tatoeS ever ate, and lots of them. My
bunk mate is an officer from Virginia
Bill Mackall-who went to the Uni
versity Of Virginia and was at Fort
Myer. He agrees with me about the
excellence of corn cakes, and we have
wished that We might get hold of some
corn meal here. Possibly We can before
long. Must get to bed now, as must
get up early to fire.

THE folks of Shepherdstown district
have been busy this week pushing the
campaign for War Savings Stamps, and
have devoted tire and energy in the
most commemorate way. The allotment
for this district is 100000, and we want
in this matter, as in all others, to do
our full duty We hope that there
NAV not be one Stacker in the whole
district, for the person who is able to
buy stamps and refuses to do so is a
Stacker.
Thrift stamps are good investment,
for they pay better interest even than
the liberty bonds. They can be ex-
changed almost the same as money.
The government will redeem them at
full value on ten days notice. The
person who buys them is helping the
government here and backing up the
boys "over there"
Every voter in the community and all
the people who can possibly arrange to
come are expected to attend meeting
in the Shepherd College auditorium Fri
day evening of this week at 8 o'clock
This is a summons from the govern
ment. Be there!

GERMANY FACES BIG CRISIS
comes Chasm Too Wide
to Be Brdged.

Amsterdam.-The German throne
itself may be hanging in the balance.
The German government is confronted
by one of the greatest crises in its
history as a result of the conflict be"
tween the political government and
the high command of the army, and
the necessity Of making a decision
that will solve the gigantic problem
rests with the kaiser himself.
If the German papers correctly mir.
ror the situation, the test which the
Bolshevik have made of Germany's
attitude toward the principle of no
annexations has thrown Germany into
political turmoil.
1t is reported generally that Cen
eral Won Ludendorff, as leader of the
former group, has gone so far as to
threaten the resignation of himself
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg ii
further countenance is given even to
such views as those advanced by men
of the type of DR.. Won Kuehlmann and
Count Czernin, the German and Aus
trian foreign ministers.
At the same time. the views of Won
Kuehlmann and Czernin fail to satisfy
the German Socialists, who regard
their middle-of-the-road policy as
trickery, and who are determined that
the spirit of the 2eichstag resolution
must be followed sincerely and with
out qualification or reserve.

The Toll France Has Paid.

FOur-fifths of the women in France
wear mourning, say the correspond
epts, and we believe them, but we are
not among those who credit reports of
France exhausted" and "bled
white" observes war writer. French
women go into mourning on the small
est prOvocatiOn. Rye shops abound.
Every little way in French city one
encounters the sign, "Mourning in "a
hours" When madame puts on black,
no one straightway infers the demise
of monsieur. Much more likely an
uncle by marriage had dropped off,
or perhaps some eighth cousin thrice
removed. 1t is always possible that.
for one wooden cross on battlefield,
there will be six dozen gowns at the
dye shop. No one denies that the
French army has suffered terrible
casualties. No one feels inclined to
understate them, the French least Of
all. But only Americans who have
never lived in France will imagine that
the swarms of black-clad women indi-
cate q propOrtionate number of dead
POilus. The truth is, Poilus were never
so plucky as today, never so efficient,
and, despite heartbreaking losses,
never so numerous.

ONE MUTE STORY OF THE WAR
Sunny Nieuport on the User, a Little
City Of 1000, Among Others
Wiped Out Of Existence.

Newport lies upon the User, the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais, writes William Townsend
Porter in the Atlantic Monthly. That
June before the world went mad, the
peaceful town drowsed in the sun-the
pearly Belgian sun that painters love,
The men went down to the sea in their
fishing boats, or worked their fields;
old women, their lace upon their knees,
sat in patch of shade before the door
and piled their bobbins; children, with
shrill sweet voices, darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went to and
fro piled high with the harvest.
-Four thousand simple folk! Not one
remains. Their houses, too, are gone.
Their ancient church, their historic
tower, are mounds of ruin. And still
the kissing shells, hour by hour, day by
day, tear down the crumbling walls,
adding fresh ruin to a scene most desc
late.
The people of the sun are gone. An
other race inhabits there. They live
in holes beneath the ground. They
come not forth except to kill.

Camera Marks AirpIane Hits.

The great aviation school at Toronto
has devised a most ingenious scheme
for training aviators in the use of the
machine gun. Two apprentice flyers
are sent up to fight under all the con-
dltions Of actual warfare. They make
every effort to aim and fire their ma
chine guns at each other, only in place
of bullets the gun is fitted with camera
lens and film. Every pull of the trig-
ger snaps picture. If the shot is a
"hit" a picture of the enemy" air
plane appears on the film; if a miss,
the film is blank. BY examining the
strip of film afterward it is possible
to tell exactly how many hits each
man made and how accurately he is
shooting"

Some Inducement.

Christopher Brown walked into the
local recruiting station of the United
States marine corps at Philadelphia,
says the Troy Times, and after an
nouncing that he was from Braintree,
said he wanted to enlist. "The idea Of
enlisting is a good one" said the re-
cruiting sergeant, "but what is Brain
tree-a breakfast food or an educa-
tional institution?" ''It is a town in
Massachusetts--the only town in the
United States that ever produced two
Presidents" proudly replied Brown.
"John Adams was born there, and so
was John Quincy Adams. John Han
cock was born there, too, as was Col.
Charles G. Long, chief of staff of the
marine corps. If you take me into the
marine corps I may be running the
thing in a year or two"
