trick. no matter who did 1T Ia
fact it makes our town ashamed that
1t occurred here, but we are glad
that the damage done was no worse.
We understand the tent manager
figured It out as about $50 and said
by the way that this was the second
town where they had had such a
trouble since he had been with the
company and that IN the other place
the authorities made the guilty par
ties smoke to the tune of $25 and
six months jail sentence. Whoever
it was should he rounded up and
and caused to suffer for that kind. of
cowardly and dangerous trick, as it

for when looked up he was twenty
or thirty PAGES ahead of me. We got
! to the Germans about that time and
was pretty busy for a while. But
soon saw him again. He was pulling
his bayonet out of Boche when an
other made jab at him and stuck him
| in the arm. Then the Boche made
swing at him with his rifle, but the
Swiss dropped on one knee and lodged
it. He kept defending himself with
his rifle, but there was another Ger
man on him by this time and he could
not get up. The corporal of our squad
was too late, because one of the
Boches got to the Swiss with his bay
onet He did not have time to with
draw it before our corporal stuck him
The other German made pass at the
corporal, but he was too late. The
corporal beat him to it and felled hin

had his mask and face blown OF; yet
he was trying to talk, with the tears
rolling down over the raw flesh. He
died five minutes later.
One night, while was lying back In
the trench trying not to think OF any

to get pretty thick around there, and
when I could not stand it any longer
I rushed out into the bay of the fire

Hundreds of star shells were being

BUILDING
IDEAL CONVICT ROAD CAMP
Prisoners Worked Without Armed
Guards and Without Special In
ducemerts Of Reward.

Without a single attempt to escape,
an average Of 40 negro convicts were
maintained for ten months in the Full
ton county (Ga.) honor camp conduct
ed under the observation of the United
States office of public roads and rural
engineering and the United States pub
lie health service. This nOtwithStand-
ing the facts that the convicts were |
worked without armed gaurds, with |
out exceptional conditions as to hours
of labor, without special rewards or
other unusual inducements to good
behavior and with the camp located
near trolley line and within IL miles
of the city of Atlanta from which
most of the convicts were sentenced,
condition admitted by all competent
authorities to be most unfavorable to
the successful operation of an honor
camp.
The methods of discipline contrast
ed sharply with those practiced in the
other camps of the county, state and
section. So far as can be learned, SIM
liar methods never have been applied
to any convict camp in the South, and
! for this reason the success of the sys-
tenn is one of the most striking and
| important results Of the experiment,
| which appears to demonstrate conclu-
! sively that there is little foundation
for the belief that negro convicts are
amenable only to the discipline Of
locks, schackles and lash.
In this camp no guard was armed
and no convict was shackled; the Onl!
building locked night or day was tn
I commissary. Plain gray clothing wa
substituted for convict stripes and tn
use of the whip was prohibited. L
| place of negative measures, order, 81
| curity and obedience were obtained b
the positive measures of attractiv
! food, light, airy quarters, clean an
comfortable beds, reasonable, kin
treatment and greater privileges. Du

/ used to think all the Germans were
big and fat and strong, and, of course,
some of the grenadier regiments are,
but lots of the Boches I saw were
little and weak like this fellow "got"
in my first charge.
It was a good piece of work to take
the prisoners and novelty for me to
look them in the face-the fellows I
had been fighting. Because, when you
look Hun in the face, you can see
the yellow streak. Even if you are
Huns are yellow.
Maybe you have heard pigs being
butchered. 1t sounded like that when
we got to them. When they attacked
us they yelled to beat the band. l
guess they thought they could scare
us. But you cannot scare machine
guns nor the foreign legion either. So
when they could not scare us they
were up against it and had to fight.
I will admit, though, that the first
time Fritz came over and began yell
ing I thought the whole German army
was after me, at that, and Kaiser Bill
: playing the drum. And how they hate
} bayonet! They would much rather
sit in a ditch and pot you.
I admit am not crazy about bayo-
!, net fighting myself, as general prop
Osition, but I will say that there have
;, been times when was serving a gun
y '. behind the front lines when 1 wished
for rifle and a bayonet in my hands
and a chance at Fritz man to man.
n 1t was in this charge that our chap
: lain was put out of commission. Al
a we were lined up, waiting to climb OF
a to the fire step and then over the par
apet, this chaplain came down tn
=. line speaking to each man as he went
