Battery b ass.


The day after this I received the
glad tidings that I would OCCUPY the
machine gunners' dugout right near
the advanced artillery observation
post. This dugout was a rOomy affair,
dry al finder, and real cots In It.
These cots had been made by the
r. Els who had previously occupied
the dugOut. | was the first to enter
and promptly made n signboard with
my name and number on It and sus-
pended 1t from the foot of the most
comfortable cot therein.
In the trenches il is always "arst
come, first served" and this is lived
up to by all. 4
Two r. F. A. men (Royal Field mr.
tillery) from the nearby observation
post were allowed the privilege Of
stopping In this dugout when oR,duty.
One Of these men, B%Ombardler VIII
son by name, who belonged to Bat
terry ID 23S. seemed TO take a liking
to me, and / returned this feeling.
In two days time we were pretty
chummy, and he told me how his bat-
terry in the early days OF the war had
put over a stunt on Old Pepper, and
had gotten away with Il.

This season the two countries go

ton stone and them build as you
please is the slogen given to every
woman.
American Designs Preferred.
One is immensely proud Of Ameri-
can clothes this spring. Our designers
have had the courage to show them in
connection with the French gowns. and
1t Is easily proved that IN several Inn
pOrtant houses the American woman
chooses her entire spring wardrobe
from American designs, rather than
French ones.
One Of the reasons for this Is that
Paris has not laid unusual stress upon
the tailored costume. and the Ameri-
can woman had reverted to It. She
wants to appear in a simple but dis
tingulshed costume when she Is In the

bizarre splash of something that
changes the mannish severity of the
American national costume into some
thing with coquetry hat melts into the
personality of the French women.
Seeing their opportunity and grasp
ing it as they have never done before,
the American tailoring establishments
have worked wonders. They have kept
to the governments request for the
elimination of wool as far as possible,
and they have achieved costumes that
are eminently fitting and distinguished
on the American figure. and for the
personality of the American woman.
More power to them!
The New French Draperles.
The severity that America lays down
for us In the morning is easily changed
into a floating gracefulness as laid
down by France for the late afternoon
and evening.
1t is yet to be seen whether America
will go in extensively for afternoon
gowns, according to the French Gus
tom, but there is one thing of which
we are quite certain IL the American
woman likes an afternoon gown, she
will wear 1t through the evening, u
less some formality of entertainment
demands n more ornamental frock.
France has cut her silhouette as
slim as the American designer has cut
1t for tailored costumes, but France
gives a note Of the First Empire In the
seductive way in which she Grapes this
narrow foundation with floating, trans
parent material.
The trick Is not confined to house
costumes It plays a good role in street
gowns also, in a modified and demure
manner. A tunic Of G%eorgette crepe,
for example, viii be dropped over a
slim undersllp of silk OF satin, and the
sleeves will float away from the arms
and come back suddenly to the wrists,
where they are tightly caught in. But
this gown will not be accepted by the
American m for the street.
There is a strong note of economy
struck in these new French clothes,
which is heard by the woman who is
hiring a seamstress to build up her
spring wardrobe at home. It shows
the way to alter old gowns into new
ones. The majority Of women own
evening frocks that have good founda-
lions, the skirts a trihe too full, It is
true. but otherwise ready to serve as
the beginning Of a new frOck. The al
t%eration In the skirt Is a simple one. It
consists Of Strengthening out all the
seams, so that there is no fare from
the hips down.

rained. Old Jupiter Pluvius must ave
had It In for me.
At six we reported for Instructions.
They were simple and easy. All we
had to do was to crawl out into No
Mans Land, lie on u bellies with our
ears TO the ground and listen for the
tap, tap Of the German engineers or
sappers who might be tunneling under
No Mans Land to establish a mine
head beneath our trench.
OF course, in our orders we were told
not to be captured by German patrols
or accommodating parties. Lots Of
breath is wasted on the western front
giving silly cautions.
AS soon as It was dark, Wheeler and
I crawled to our post which was about
halfway between the lines. II 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 qul vive for German patrols.
We each wore a wristwatch, and be-
lieve me, neither one Of us did over
twenty minutes. The rain soaked as
to the skin and our ears were full Of
mud.
Every few minutes a bullet wOHd
crack overhead or a machine gun would
traverse back and forth.
Then all firing suddenly ceased. I
whispered to Wheeler, keep your eye
skinned, mate; most likely Fritz has
a patrol out-that's why the BOches
have stopped firing"
We were each armed with a rifle and
bayonet and three Mills bombs to be
used for defense only.
1 had my ear to the ground. All Of
a sudden 1 heard faint, dull thuds.
In a low but excited voice l whispered
to Wheeler, II think they are mining,
listen"
He put his ear to the ground and
in an unsteady voice spoke into my
ear:
"Yank, that's a patrol and it's head
ing our way. For Gods sake keep
STILL"
1 was as still as a mouse and was
scared stiff.
Hardly breathing and with eyes try
ing to pierce the inky blackness, we
waited. / would have given a thou
sand pounds to have been safely in
my dugout.
Then we plainly heard footsteps and
u hearts stood still.
A dark form suddenly doomed up In
front Of me; 1t looked as big as the
WOOlworth building. / could hear
the blood rushing through my veins
and 1t sounded as loud as Niagara
falls.
Forms seemed to emerge from the
darkness. There were seven OF them
in all. 1 tried to wish them away. I
never wished harder in my life. They
muttered a few words in German and
melted into the blackness. l didn't
stop wishing either.
All Of n sudden we heard a stumble,
a muddy splash, and a muttered Dom
ner und Bitten" One of the Boches
had tumDled into a shell hole. Neither
of us laughed. At that tlme-it didn't
strike us as funny.
About twenty minutes after the Ger.
mans had disappeared something from
the rear grabbed me by the foot. I
nearly tainted with fright. Then q
welcome whisper in a cOckney accent.
81 sly, myte, we've come to relieve
you"
Wheeler and / crawled back to our
trench; we looked like wet hens and
felt worse. After a swIg Of rum wo
were soon fast asleep on the fire step
in our Vet clothes.
The next morning I was as stlfr us a
poker and every Joint ached like a
bad tooth, hut l was still alive, so Il
did not matter.

ELECTRIC STOPS
 FUR THE NORTH

Seattle. - Saving of thousands ot dollars annually for Northwest fish hatcneries appears at hand through the invention of an electric fish stop which has been installed at the Dem yer state hatcheries, and which members of the bureau of fisheries Seattle branch, say has proved suo- Cessful in every way. The North ern bureau of fisheries plans to eX- pertinent with the fish stop in Alas ke
 The electric fish stop was de" signed to prevent fish from follow ing wrong streams. Placing Of nets across the mouths of water ways has proved not only inefficient tu- costly, small mesh nets imped- in the flow of the current and larg mesh nets allowing the fish to es- cape. Keeping fish away from in take and irrigation ditches and from dangerous rapids near spawn inc grounds is also expected to be overcome by the electric fish sop.
 The new stop operates by estab- fishing electric fields Of graduated voltage across the tream, power be- ing furnished by a water dynamo placed in the stream. Current gem erated is carried to a small house OH the bank, to a transformer, whicl converts the current into four cur rents of voltage ranging from 25 to 200 volts. 25-volt field is To- cated farthest down stream, turning back the small fsih coming in con tact with 1t into the main current. The increasing voltage acts up on fish of proportionate size. The electric fields are established by means of iron gratings which curve into the river banks and extend tU the stream bed.

HUN SOLDIER E

The Indian never pretended to be any thing but a savage, said the medical officer, while the Ger mans have been pretending to be peace loving and human for the pest century"
 Deliberate killing by German troops of Red Cross workers in their work of mecy on the battle fields has aroused the wrath of A merican army officers. It is as serted that all during the Marne battle, the German avtators swept over field dressing stations, touring machine gun bullets into the medical units as they a'tendeo the wounded and dropping bombs on hospitals, although the Red Cross insignia was in plain view. The Hun Enipera picked off Red Cross stretcher bearers as quickly a cOmbatant soldiers.
 They acted just like cornered rats," declared an American infan- try officer, except that most of them did not have the courage to fight to the death. When they were surrounded and had no chance, they would come out of the machine gun nests with tears in their eyes and cries of 'Kamerad. The German sol dier in a pleading attitude is the most loathesome and despicable sight imaginable"
