CHATTER XIX toonunued.)

One of the boys who landed a war
cross was Private Homer >Whited. Of
Bessemer, Ala. He came back with
me to America to help boost the third
Liberty Loan, so l know all about the
stunt that made him a. hero. 1t was
his pluck that checkmated what
might have been a DISASTROUS raid on
a sector Of the American trenches on
the Lorraine front, the night of
March S, 1918.
Whited and three companions were
attacked by a force Of Huns six times
their number, but the Americans
routed the Germans after killing nine
and taking two prisoners.
Homer is a modest little doughboy,
and I had a hard time pulling the
yarn out Of him. but at length 1 got
it, and here it is in his own language:
we landed in the front-line
trenches at A%ncerville, on the Lor-
ratne front. February II, 1918. On
the evening Of March s, snow fell,
covering the ground to a depth Of
four inches. =
1T was cold and disagreeable. and
when three fellows from my state
came to my dugout and asked me to
go along with them, Twas none too
merry about it.
1.-THE men were Sergeant. West, and
NoTpordiS EQWard Freeman and
Amos Tesky. They told me they had
a lialson message to carry from one
sector to another, and were crazy for
company. = s,A ~.
"They kidded me about my dispo-
sition until I crawled out of the dug
out and went along with them.
w had to pass through five gates
between the point we had left to the
point we were seeking, and as we
went through the last of them,
Sergeant West ordered me to return
for some hand grenades. 1 misun
derstood the order, and thought he
said: See if there is any one be-
tween us and the gate When L re-
ported and he found out the mistake
I had made, he insisted that I go back
and get the grenades anyway.
1T was a mighty good thing he did,
as later events showed, although. at
the time we had not the slightest
thought of meeting any Of the enemy.

AIRpIAsEs IN REVELATIONS.
Letter in Christian Herald.

I would like II someone would give his view on the
ninth chapter, Of Revelations. I have in mind that our
warplanes are the locusts the Revelator has in view IN
that chapter, Surely he did not mean the locusts Of
Pharaohs time. These locusts ate every green thing;
but not % with the locuss that John the Reyelator saw.
They were not to hurt ths grass OF the earth. neither
any green Thing, neither any tree. but only those men
who had the teA Of God on their foreheads. Moreover,
these locusts tof Revelation had a mars face. I have
seen one aarshtp about 40 rods away from me, in flight
and the sound va that Of 4 locust, and at the propeller

EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS

just why Maxlmlllan Harden is permitted to write
Us he does is one of the puzzles Of the time. Throughout
Germany the muzzle is applied to speakers and writer's
gery effectively. And her Herr Harden continues to
criticize the government apparently at will. His is about
che only voice in all Germany that is lifted up to pro-
aSlain the truth. and at times he does proclaim 1t with
1arked emphasis. In a recent article he makes inter
fting comment on a speech in the German upper house
IN which one of the members. Prince salm-Horstma
contrasted the 'aristocrauc' spirit Of Germany with the
democracy OF Britain and the United States.
Did not, asks Herr Harden, this conflict exist before
either England or America interviewed? Did not some
ofsus count upon seeing England, to begin with at any
rate, cunningly hold aloof and batten as a neutral ogre
on war profits; and was 1t not thought that il England
turned upon Germany she would have America not for,
but against her? What does a man like Prince salm
know Of England's history, philosophy, and poetry; Of
her scTeative works in every field Of law and minners.
In politics. civilization economics, communal life and
5scolcniEation,E and in the Weakening Of mankid? What
sAtossg he know Of the continent that gave birth 10 inc
adtassof the rights Of man, and that during te Hundred
years from washington to Walt Whitman bore a VERT

and Fritz's-and rifles and machine
guns we're blazing away merfily.
There were q good many gas shells
mixed up in the German firing, and a
lot Of our boys got slight doses of
the poisonous stuff. Thirteen Ameri-
cans were wounded, including Guy
cite; n number Of the French were
hit, too. III. PHI,
AS Guyette. suffering from his
wound, was limping back to lines,
canal, he heard. a call for help. 1t
was one Of the wounded engineers.
,Guyette went back and slung the man
oyer his shoulder. While he was do
ing this he noticed there were other
wounded men lying close by. When
he had landed the first man safely in
our trenches he was pretty we'll ex-
hausted but. he had strength enough to
bring another man in, so he started
back. He packed the second. man or
his back and got back with him all
right. Then this gritty young chap
from Connecticut went back a third
time, it must be remembereds the No
Mans Land was being raked with a
terrific fire by the Germans. II Cor
poral Guyette didn't deserve a wal
cross, then nobody yer did. His
brave deed or deeds ought t. stir the
blood of every American. Guyette
came back with the Liberty Loan
hero outfit. and every time 1 hear his
name mentioned u feel like cheering
and tossing up my hat.
A number of boys of the Ohio in
fantry received war crosses while I
was in France. One of these was
Sergeant Ethridge Justice. When the
whole team of n Of the. 37-milli-
meter guns was. disabled this .spunky
chap continued to fire it, at the same
time keeping command Of the other
guns. Another Ohio boy, Private
Charles Cain, Of the infantry. wa
wounded on March 9. but continued
to load his piece until his strength
was exhausted. i
Corporal H. W. Tanning, Of Mary

himself upon a bomb IN a parapet

BULGARIA

Bulgarian troops are reported to have been sent to
France to aid the Germans. If that is true Bulgarian
troops are actually lighting against American troops.
1t is almost certain that they will come into personal
contact, for. while the American army PROPER is we'll to
the south of the line, small groups of American soldiers
are to be found at many points, and it wou1o be difficult
for the Bulgarians to take any part in any battle with
out coming into touch with Americans. Even if there
is not this personal contact, the situation is the same.
The western front is one, and there is unity in all the
operations carried on on either side at every place.
Leaving the personal and individual element aside, the
British people are as greatly interested in the reduction
of the St. Mihiel salient as are the Americans, and the
American people are as greatly interested in the opera
tons of 1.-The French troops before laon as are the French
people themselves. 1t is one fight, one campaign, and
the forces participating on either side are one. Yet, on
paper, the United States is at peace with Bulgaria
The Allies have started an important offensive In
the Balkan region, and have won conspicuous successes
against the central powers. which are represented in
that district largely by Bulgarians. We have no infor-
nation OF American troops being in that locality. Prob
ably there are none. But that is an unimportant de-
tail. We are as much interested in the Balkan cam
paign. in proportion to its real importance, as We are
in that in France, where our own soldiers are fighting.
The Allied offensive in Macedonia Is in reality as much
an American offensive as a British or a French one. let
We maintain the fiction Of peace between this country
and Bulgaria
The logic Of the situation demands that the state
Of wal which actually exists between the United States
and Turkey and Bulgaria be recognized by a formal
declaration to that effect. No explanation has ever been
made as to why it has not been recognized. The APP
propriate declaration would have been made by con-
gress some time ago had it not been for the request
Of the president The request was needed. and the mat
ter was taken on trust, But the president has never
explained, nor can the people understand. why that ad-
vice was given.
Tho fact Is that'we are at war with Germany ano al
her allies. and they with us. 1t is quite possible that
there is some good reason for withholding the declara,
ton, but it is difhcult to imagine what it can be. And
whether there are good reasons or none for the presen.
situation. that situation is certainly incongruous and
Illogical,

Binder Irvine.

Following an investigation of the
cost of manufacturing binder twine
the United States Food Administra-
ton announces the maximum ad-
vances over cost of sisal which may
be charged by the manufacturer
The scale is based upon the present
price of 10 cents per pound for
sisal fiber Standard ard sisal bind
er Irvine containing 500 feet to the
pound should be sold in carload
lots of 10000 pounds or more at a
maximum advance of 4 cents per
pound above the cost of sisal.
Lots of 10000 pounds or more
but less than 10000 pounds, are to
be sold at an advance of not more
than a IL cents per pound above
the primary price, All smaller
amounts are to carry an advance
of not more than 4 1-2 cents per
pound.
Irvine that contains $50 feet to
the pound should be sold at a max
imum advance of 1.34 cents per
pound above the price for standard
twine; 600 feet 20 the the pound, at
an increase of 8 cents, $50 feet to
the pound at IL cents per pound
increase. Pure manila Irvine con
tanning $50 feet to the pound should
be sold at an advance of not more
than 8 cents per pound above the
price of standard twine. All of
these prices are f. o. b factory.
In formulating this scale of prices
the Food Administration has consid-
cred the increased weight of binder
twine over its sisal content. Ii has
made allowance for the fact that
manufacturers now have on hand
sisal which was purchased at lower
prices than rule today or twine
that was manufactured from the
lower. priced sisal.
