Germany has a committee here

"The poor fellows are stunned by

are filled with utter scorr for those

There is memeless mslady.
But one that is well known.

It's very plainly shown.
We've seen il all along the line.
Where ever we have been,
And as we have no better name,
Wen call it, "Buttin' In"
Now what is meant by such term.
Most people understand.
And in the working Of this game.
Some often take hand.
While parties talk Of what they'll do.
These fellows then begin.
To tell about a better way.
And this is "ButtIn' In.
Some times we map program out.
And lay our plans ahead.
But many times they are upset,
BY what someone has said
While it's failing many have.
IL may not be a sin.
And yet il seems somewhat uncouth.
To be thus "Buttin' In"

The odor from the dug-up, decom-
is hard to describe. It first produces
a nauseating feeling, which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon
weakening sensation follows, which
leaves you limp as q dishrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel sort of hopelessness and a mad
desire to escape it all, to get to the
open fields and the perfume of the flow
ers in Blighty. There is sharp,
prickling sensation in the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through a radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmounted by
vague horror of the awfulness of the
thing and an overcoming reflection
that, perhaps /, sooner or later, would
be in such state and be brought to
light by the blow Of pick in the hands
of some Tommy on a digging party.
Several times have experienced this
odOr, but never could get used to it !;
the enervating sensation was always
present. It made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths OF pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them.'

the frOnt-line trench.
Nothing happened that night, but the
next afternoon I found out that a
bomber is general utility man in a Sec

About five o'clock in the afternoon
our lieutenant came down the trench
and stopping in front of a bunch of US
on the fire step, with a broad grin on
his face, asked:
"Who is going to volunteer for listen

1t is needless to say no one volun-

grin, he said:

OF course, in our orders we were told
not to be captured by German patrols

AS soon as it was dark, Wheeler and
I crawled to our post which was about
halfway between the lines. It was
raining bucketfuls, the ground was a
sea of sticky mud and chung to us like
glue.
We took turns in listening with our
ears to the ground. I would listen for
twenty minutes while Wheeler would
be on the qui vive for German patrols.
We each wore a wristwatch, and be-

I was as still as a mouse and was

Hardly breathing and with eyes try

waited. l would have given a thou

Then we plainly heard footsteps and
our hearts stood still.
A dark form suddenly doomed I'D in

the blood rushing through my veins
and it sounded as loud as Niagara

to work and work hard and help HIM

PATRICK HENRY'S
FAMOUS ADDRESS
NOW APPLICABLE
Liberty or Death, Issue In War of
Revolution, Is Issue In the
Great World War.

One hundred and forty-three years
ago in the Provincial Convention at
Richmond, Va, Patrick Henry, pa
triot to the last drop of his hearts
blood, flung into the faces of his wa
vering fellow delegates his now world
famous call to arms.
"Mr. President" he cried, "if we
Aean to preserve inviolate those In
estimable privileges for which we
have been SO long contending; If we
mean not basely to abandon the noble
struggle In which we have been SO
long engaged and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon
until the glorious object Of our con-
test shall be attained, we must fight!
"Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand we here idle? What
is 1t that gentlemen wish? What
would they have? Is life so dear or
peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? For.
bid it, Almighty God! know not
what course others may take; but as
for me, give me liberty or give ME
DEATH"
There spoke patriot true. And he
won his fight. Liberty's struggle was
long and trying, but victory came at
last. And the shield of freedom, bla
zoned upon the doorways of a new
nation, has grown brighter and more
respondent with the passing of the
years, until it stands today an inspira
ton for all the world.
Yet over yonder across the sea the
mailed fist of Prussian autocracy is
raised in menace. It's shadow is grow
ing smaller, but it Is a shadow still
1t has lost some of its power, but the
will to strike is yet there. And all
those "inestimable privileges" Of
which Patrick Henry spoke are threat
ened and will continue so to be until
Prussianism is crushed utterly.
Our brethren are already in the
field! Why stand we idle here?"
Think but moment on stricken
France, on pillaged Belgium, on out
ragged Serbia, on every land upon
which the polluting hand of the Hun
has fallen, and fancy what our portion
will be If that same mailed fist is
loosed upon our shores.
Then loosen your purse strings. Buy
Liberty Bonds.
Patrick Henry was right. Death
would be immeasurably preferable.
