A Hon MEEK

This has been an unusually hot
week, people actually suffering from
the heat. 1t began with a maximum
temperature Of 96 degrees on Sunday.
Monday the mercury jumped to 981s
degrees, and on Tuesday it reached
100 degrees. Late Tuesday after
noon the oppressive weather was
slightly broken by threatening con-
dition, accompanied by good breeze.

The Reveille has been forced to add
two additional pages this week on
account Of the increased number Of
advertisements and desire to give
its readers all Of the local news. We
are now giving regularly just twice
the amount Of local matter we printed
prior to adding the Mergenthaler type
setter, and we are convinced that the
general improvement Of the paper is
being appreciated by the greatly in
creased number Of subscribers and the
many complimentary expressions.

DARKEST RUSSIA.

Few war inventions appeal to some
Of us more powerfully than the Tight
shells" which are shot into the sky to
illuminate the darkness Of the battle
field. They hang, self-poised to all
appearances like stars and shed their
lurid radiance over inconceivable
mysteries and horrors. BY their brill
liant glare achievements are accom-
plished and dangers avoided impossi-
BILE without their aid.
II one such flare could only be sent
up into the midnight sky which COW
ers over the fragments Of the holy
Russian empire! The heart of the
dark continent is not more black, its
secrets not more Unreasonable. Ig-
norant as We common people are
about the actual condition of affairs
in that dismembered country, we have
little reason to believe that Lloyd

President Wilson know much more,

does filter through is muddled by the
media through which it passes
1t is solemn thing for the allied
governments to have to act in such a
situation. We who have neither pow
err nor responsibility may sit as calm
spectators of those shadowy and in
comprehensive events, but somebody
must decide and do! Right or wrong,
an immediate and final step must be
taken, for not to do anything is as
positive a step as to send an army. If
sending an army into Siberia would
be likely to drive the resentful revolt
utionists into the arms of Germany,
refusing to do so will be as likely to
encourage the Germans to snap shut
the handouts and manacles already
fitted to the wrists and ankles of the
unhappy Russians.
We do not envy the men who have
the responsibility Of taking this step
into that dark mine of plots and
counterplots, so full of dangerous ex-

plosives, 1t is hard enough to have to
decide and act where such terrible
forces are at work in the full light of
dependable information, but the bold
est mind must shrink from plunging
into those Cimmerian shadows with
out a torch or lantern.
And yet, to refuse to do so will be
for our leaders to betray their trust.
Time presses. The molten liquid is
cooling very fast. The process Of
crystallization is taking place with
almost lightning speed. 1t soon will
be too late.

Jumping over the trench, Lloyd raced
across mo Mans Land" unheeding the
rain of bullets, leaping over dark forms
on the ground, some of which lay still,
while others called out to him as he
speeded past.
He came to the German front line,
but it was deserted, except for heaps
of dead and wounded-a grim tribute
to the work of his company, good old
ID company. Leaping trenches, and
gasping for breath, Lloyd could see
right ahead of him his company In

trench, and across the open, away in
front of them, mass of Germans pre-
pairing for a charge. Why didn't d
company fire on them? Why were they
so strangely silent? What were they
waiting for? Then he knew-their am
munition was exhausted.
But what was that on his right7 A
machine gun. Why didn't 1t open fire
and save them? He would make that
guns crew do their duty. Rushing
over to the gun he saw why it had not
opened fire. Scattered around its base
lay six still forms. They had brought
their gun to consolidate the captured
position, but a German machine gun
had decreed they would never fire
again.
Lloyd rushed to the gun and, grasp
ing the traversing handles, trained 1t
on the Germans. He pressed the thumb
piece, but only a sharp click was the
result. The gun was unloaded. Then
he realized his helplessness. He did
not know how to load the gun. oh,
why hadn't he attended the machine
gun course in England2 He'd been
offered the chance, but with blush of
afraid. The nickname of the machine
gunners had frightened him. They
were called the Suicide club" Now,
because of this fear, his company
would be destroyed, the men of ID COM
pany would have to die, because he,
Albert Lloyd, had been afraid of

who emitted a faint moan. A CLEAN
of hope flashed through him. Perhaps
this man could tell him how to load
the gun. STOPPING over the body he
gently shook 1t and the soldier opened
his eyes. Seeing Lloyd, he closed
them again and, in faint voice, said:
"Get away, you blighter, leave me
alone. don't want any coward around
me-"
The words cut Lloyd like a knife,
but he was desperate. Taking the re-
volver out of the holster Of the dying
man he pressed the cold muzzle to the
soldiers head and replied:
eyes, 1t is Lloyd, the coward of
Company d, but so help me God, If
you don't tell me how to load that gun
I'll put'a bullet through your brain ]"
A sunny smile came over the coun-
tenance of the dying man and he said
in faint whisper:
"Good old boy! knew you wouldn't
disgrace our company"
Lloyd interposed: For Gods sake,
If you want to save that company you
are so proud of, tell me how to Load
that ID gum"
/ AS If reciting lesson in school, the
soldier replied in q weak, singsong
voice: Insert tag end of belt in feed
block, with left hand pull belt left
front. Pull crank handle back on roll
er, let go, and repeat motion. Gun Is
now loaded. To fire, raise automatic
safety latch, and press thumbpiece.
