wood not far from the Huns when al at
once the Dutchmen sent over heaVy
barrage. They sent over tear gas 1911
lowed by mustard gas to start of with,
and that was followed by sending over
big eight-inch shells. We were all IN
dugouts at the time this came on ana
we had to keep our gas masks on all
the time they were Smelling. Some OF
the shells broke right in front Of my
dugout. 1t sure was one big night to go
through.
These dugouts are only to prevent one
from getting hit with flying shrapnel,
but if shell hit the dugout IT mean.
soodby for all that were in IL at the
time Well, Uncle, | was pretty lucky
in getting out safe but two Of the boys
in our dugout were hit with the flying

A Rockland woman had strange

for overseas. The mother was Mrs
c. c. Kirk and the young man was
Bartholomew Kirk, who had oeer

set forth, only to find. on her arrival.
that the troops had departed we

had gone north. probably to Camp
Merritt. N. J. Thither set forth the
anxious mother, who owing to the
disarrangement of train schedules
had 10 stand for two nights on crowd
cd coaches. On reaching Camp Mer-
rift she found ali visitors barred and
all communications with the soldiers
cut off. But the rainbow on this
cloud Of probably an an
swer to a mothers prayer-was the
fact that the son. as regimental sup
ply sergeant, while on trip outside
in motor car, saw his mother amid
a throng along the streets, leaped
from the automobile and gave her
brief greeting and news that the
Maine boys from Knox county were
all we'll and eager to go across"
That night from her room near the
railroad track a tiny light shone forth
a significant greeting to one soldier
lad on the trains that rumbled out of
Camp Dix with their precious freight;
and from the horde Of boys on board
there was one who saw and in his
heart answered tn silentf arewell.

 GOING TO FRANCE Deputy Bergeron Attacks French Ministry of Ma rine, Tardieu Answers.

Paris, Thursday, Nov. 22-Foliow- ing an attack upon the ministry of marine by Deputy Beergeon, who cri- ticised the requisitioning of merchan: vessels, Captain Andre Tardieu, head of the General commission for Fran" co-American war matters, answered for the government. He said:
 "We are charged with having coms menced construction of wooden ships. We need the tonnage. I accept neith- CT the charge that the French gov ernment is careless nor the charge of egotism on the part of the United States. We are behind one hundred thousand tons of shipping promised by America. M. Bergeon criticIses us for not having signatures to the agree ment with America. I wfI1 answer him. There Is no need for signatures in order to secure the execution oi Americas promise since America has sent an army of two million men tc France"
 Great applause greeted this remark Fernand Bouisson, under secretary of state for merchant marine. outlin' ed a shipping bill that has been pre- pared and stated that the Chamber would be asked to vote for the pro- feet an appropriation.

WANT TO ABOLISH OLD CONSTITUTION TO FORM REPUBLIC New Government of Saxony Wishes to Unite Saxon and German People. NATIONAL COUNCIL
 TO DEFINE POWER Incomes Derived From Ex- ploitation of Labor Should
 Be Done Away With.

Amsterdam, Nov. 22.---In a procla- nation to the Saxon people the new government of Saxony, according to 0 despatch from Dresden, declares it is striving for the abolition of the old Federal constitution and for the union .of; the Saxon and German peoples in a republic including German-Austria.
 Self-government and the protection .of their cultural interests, the proc lamation says, should be granted to the component parts of the republic The authority of the Soldiers and Workmen's councils should be defined most speedily by the national council. A national guard to replace the standing army after it's demobilization is suggested.
 Expenditures, it is declared, could be covered by assessments on big for tunes, especially those derived from war profits.
 Incomes derived from the exploit ation of labor should be abolished.
