smoke and two or three corpses. /
began to SILVER little, and I was
afraid would get shell shock, too.
So began to think about Murray and
how he looked when they took him
off the wall. But that did not stop the
shivering, SO thought about my grand
mother and how she looked the last
time saw her. I was thinking about
her, guess, and not keeping very
good lookout, when a man rolled over
the edge and almost fell on me. He
was from the other trenches. I carried
him into the dugout and then went out
again and stood my watch until the
relief came. We were doing half-hour
shifts.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Croix de Guerre


: When we had been on the shore
1or about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
= ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at it full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafening.
III. A section of my company was lying
out In shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
Dut wait for q shell to find them. We
were stif and thirsty and uncomfort.
aDle, and had not slept for two nights
IN that time we had been under con-
slant fire and had stood off several
raiding parties and SHALL attacks fl ON
enemy trenches.
y we had no sooner got used to the
hell hole and were making ourselves
comfortable as possible In it when
long came a shell Of what must have
. cen the Jack Johnson size, and we
ere swamped. We had to dig three
the men out, and though one Of
EN- was badly wounded we could not
nd him back to the hospital. In
ct, the Smelling was so heavy that
ne Of us ever expected to come out
1T alive.
80, It was like keeping your own
ath watch, with the shells tuning
for the dirge. 1t was impossible to
ten to the shells. If you kept your
nd on the noise for any length Of
oe it would split your eardrums, l
sure. So all we could do was to
: low In the shell hole and wait for
xnething to happen.

Mrs. Roy NJ. Johnson has re-

Lawrence Otey. dated Somewhere
in France" Mr.. Otey writes as
follows:
This war game in France is not
the softest thing in the world. The
rumors about the rats, 'cooties' and
filth has certainly not been exag-
gerated very much.
We have been under shell FIRE
very much and. believe me. there is
nothing that makes one want to be
home more than having a hve-inch
shell come straight towards you.
On the whole, the company came
out extremely lucky"
Private Otey joined the L. :. Ma
rine Corps over a year ago in Hous-
ton. Texas. He was first taken to
Paris Island. 5. C., was transferred
from there to Norfolk. Va. and

ORDER CALLING FARMERS
IN DRAFT is MODIFIED

The order calling all farmers, as
we'll as other registrants in Class !
has been to some extent modified
The local exemption board received
a telegram Saturday night. followed
by a letter yesterday, in which it is
advised:
The allotment must be filled from
Class men. physically qualified for
general military service, but men
actually engaged in farming may be
excused for the present, if the call
can be filled without them
In the telegram the adjutant gen
eral said: use best judgment in
omitting farmers if you can fill
without them.
OF course II cannot now be told
how many of the farmers may be
excused. as that will depend on the
number in Class ! who prove to be
physically FIT, and if a sufficient
number be in Class to make up the
quota. exclusive of farmers, the lat
ter will not be taken at this time.
Many of the young men in this
class. formerly excused, have plant
ed, and now have growing, crops,
and it is claimed by farmers that it
is almost impossible to secure farm
labor. One man in this county.
after ne found his son would prob
ably not be called for some time.
planted TO a crop every acre of land
he believed he and his son could
cultivate. Their crop has been plant
ed and is being cultivated. His son
is in the last call and he said. while
at the courthouse Saturday. that If
his son went away he did not know
what would become of the crop as
he could not cultivate all they had
planted and that he could not get a
farm hand, even if he would pay 81
per day.
Complaint was heard. freely ex-
pressed, following the last call. that
it was not right when the young
men from the farms must go to
war, to leave such a large number
of men physically fit. loafing around
the towns and cities who would
neither work on farms or 90 TO var.

MANY MINNEAPOLIS FIRMS
ON GOVERNMENT ORDERS
Within Few Months All Will Be at
Some Federal Work.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May l3.-Al-
though the country has been at war
only slightly more than year a
large percentage OF local firms are
working on government war con-
tracts. 1t is estimated that within a
few months virtually every local
factory or plant having equipment
will be contributing to the success
of the government war program.
\ close estimate OF the total amount
of war contracts place in Minneapo-
lis is not available, but commercial
officials put the figure well above
$35 100000.
The -four and milling interests,
whose output is used extensively on
all battle fronts, are virtually gov
ernment institutions. Despite the
threatened shortage of wheat, the
mills, under government Supervi-
sion, have been kept grinding at
nearly top capacity.
At conference of business men
held under the auspices OF the Min
neapolis Civic and Commerce As
sociation last winter, it was decided
that all manufacturing plants capa-
bic of being so used were to do war
work or be closed. Two groups of
manufacturers. the metal products
and woodworkers. have combined
their interests and are represented
at Washington by b. X. Poste-
thwaite and Thomas f. Herman, re-
spectively.
The following articles are among
the wartime necessities being turn
ed out here: Gun carriages. shells,
ship hoists, blankets, clothing, tents,
steel castings, sheet-iron tanks for
trucks, wagons, bedding, boilers,
motors and tractors. Il
As Minneapolis manufacturing
firms accepted government CON
tracts, large sums were put in circu-
lation resulting in high wages. The
employment of men has not been
confined to skilled labor eithe, as
much work which can be taken care
of by the day laborer is involved in
out the war contracts.
The improved financial situation
also is reflected in the widespread
support given to the third Liberty
loan and war savings stamps cam
paigns. With a population of T5,-
DO0. the Minneapolis individual sub
scription list to the third Liberty
loain totalled close to 100000 per
sons. The city's average OF $4,000 |
a day for war savings stamps also |
was maintained throughout the loan
campaign.
