CHAPTER XVII.
Out In Front.

After tea Lieutenant Stores of our
section came into the dugout and in
formed me that was for a reconnoi-
tering patrol and would carry six Mills
bombs.
At II 80 that night twelve men, orr
lieutenant and myself went out in
front on a patrol in No Mans Land.
We cruised around in the dark for
about two hours, just knocking about
looking for trouble. on the lookout for
Boche working parties to see what
they were doing.
Around two in the morning we were
carefully picking our way about thirty
yards in front of the German barbed
wire, when we walked into a Boche
covering party nearly thirty strong,
Then the music started, the fiddler rem
dered his bill, and we paid.

were going over our heads.
We lost three men killed and one
wounded in the arm. If it hadn't been
for our officers quick thinking the
whole patrol would have probably
been wiped out.
After about twenty minutes wait we
went out again and discovered that
the Germans had a wiring party work
ing on their barbed wire. We returned
to our trenches unobserved with the
information and our machine guns i'm
mediately got busy.

out to go over and examine the Ger

Quite a contrast to Wilson was an
other character in our brigade named
Scott; we called him "Old ScOtty'' on
account of his age He was ifty-seven,
although looking forty. "Old Scotty"
had been born in the Northwest and
had served In the Northwest Mounted
police. He was a typical cowpuncher
and Indian fighter and was dead shot
with the rifle, and took no pains to
disguise this fact from us. He used to
take care of his rifle as if 1t were a
baby. In his spare moments you could
always see him cleaning 1t or polish
ing the stock Woe betide the man
who by mistake happened to get hold
of this rifle; he soon found out his
error. Scott was as deaf as mule,
and it was amusing at parade to watch
him in the manual of arms, slyly
glancing out of the corner of his eye
at the man next to him to see what
the order was. How he passed the
doctor was a mystery to us; he must
have bluffed his way through because
he certainly was Independent. Beside
him the Fourth of July looked like
Good Friday. He wore at the time a
large sombrero, had a Mexican stock
saddle over his shoulder. lariat on
his arm. and a 'fOrty-fve" hanging
from his hip. Dumping this parapher-
MALTA on the floor he went up to the
recruiting officer and shouted: "Pm

shoot some. At Scotland Yard they

ment's better than none. so trot out

was on recruiting service at the time
he applied for enlistment.
1t was Old Scotty's great ambition
to be a sniper or body snatcher." as
Mr.. Atkins calls it. The day that he
was detailed as brigade sniper he cele-
brated his appointment by blowing the
whole platoon to flags.
Being Yank, Old Scotty took lik-
ing to me and used to spin some great
yarns about the plains, and the whole
platoon would drink these in and ask
for more. Ananlas was a rookie COM
pared with him.
The ex-plainsman and discipline
could not agree, but the officers all
liked him, even If he was hard to man
age, so when he was detailed as a
sniper a sigh of relief went up from
the officers mess.
Old ScOtty had the freedom of the
brigade He used to draw two or
three days rations and disappear with
his glass, range finder and rifle, and we
would see or hear no more of him
until suddenly he would reappear
with a couple of notches added to
those already on the butt of his rife.
Every time he got q German it meant
another notch. He was proud of these
notches.
But after a few months Father
Rheumatism got him and he was sent
TO Blighty; the air in the wake of his
stretcher was blue with curses. Old
Scotty surely could swear; some of his

DRAFT PROVISIONS NOT TO GRIP
PIE THE BANKS

CINCINNATI, Sept. 10.-Regard-
ing exemption of bankers and essen
tial bank employees, President Chas.
A. Hinsch, of the American Bankers
Association, has addressed letter to
the member banks of the association.
The letter says:
1T is generally understood that the
various draft boards will consider as
exempt, or at least place in deferred
classification, bank officers and en-
ployees whose services are absolutely
essential to the operation of their re-
spective institutions.
''It has been suggested, however,
that if left to the individual Off
Ger or employee to ask for exemption
very few will claim exemption. In
this connection your attention is call
ed to the fact that the Provost Mar
shall General has ruled that banking
is an occupation necessary to the
maintenance of the national welfare,
and that skilled officers, and en-
ployees of banks may claim exemp-
ton or deferred classification, under
the new draft law, on the ground
that their services are vital to the
continuance of the business in which
they are engaged.
THE Provost Marshal General
states that waving the right to be
placed in a deferred classification is
mistaken act of patriotism. He
urges every person affected by the
law to state frankly and honestly his
exemption status, as by doing so he
will aid materially in the task Of
classifying registrants.
Therefore, bank officers and en-
! ployees whose services are essential
to the business should not hesitate,
for fear of criticism, to claim exemp-
ton or deferred classification on oc-
cupational grounds. To do otherwise
would be a hinderance rather than a
help at this time.
1 eff officers and crerks in banks,
however, neglect or refuse to claim
the exemption to which they are en-
! titled, that claim may be made for
/ them by the bank in which they are
employed. Thus, if an officer or
clerk fears unjust criticism or be-
lieves his act may be misconstrued,
the bank which employs him may file
a claim for his exemption on occu
pational grounds with the District
Board of Appeals. 1t is most earn
estly desired, however, by the au-
thorities at Washington, that every
one state frankly and honestly his
exemption status, as it will be con-
sidered more patriotic and helpful to
do so than it would be to waive his
rights
This information was secured di-
rect from the Provost Marshal Gen
erals office by representative of the
American Bankers Association, who
was authorized to state that:
"You have been advised upon the
highest authority in Washington thai
it is not the intention of the Provost
Marshal General to cripple the banks
but rather to do all he can to enable
them to efficiently aid the Treasury
in the furtherance of its fiscal poll
cies"
