fornia, plars for the building Of farm
houses and other buildings in the farm
colonie so be created under the pro-
visions of the California Land Settle
ment Act have been made.

laboyerS' cottages to $4,000 for farm
houses. Within these limits of cost.
i; Is proposed to erect homes of con-
venience. sanitation and beauty. AL
though wood is the cheapest material
in California. the cost of concrete and
masonry Is not to be considered pro-
hibitive. it is stated

sheds to hold 100 tons of hay; dairy
barns for ten to thirty head of COWS;
houses and sheds for hogs up to
200 in number. and sheds and shell
ters for sheep up to 800. Farm build
ings will be built to conform to the
climatic advantages of California,
where ther is no freezing weather. but
considerable rain.
! In pursuance of its plan. the Land
Settlement Board solicits contribu-
tions of photographs of farm houses
and outer buildings, pamphlets giving
plans and estimates of farm build
ings. and references to Investigations
or reports on this subject, with
view to le.sening the expense and in
creaslag the attractiveness and profit

Personal Combat Counts Most
and That's Where Fritz
Falls Short.

London, Thy maiD.--The following is
q graphic description OF the work
American soldiers have TO learn in
France: 1t Is told by q British Tommy
who Is here in hospital:
i got this packet in q raid on the
Serries' line. It was z good little show
took you back 10 the finish of the
Eomme. We used 10 nave a raid every
other night then. I like a raid better
than a push, though of course n push
Is more useful. What l meal Is this,
you get good and close TO the Gerries
IN a raid-right in amongst them-and
you sometimes car get to grips with
them. in a push they're too keen on
getting away to let you right in amongst
them. You get bits OF their line. though
IN a push II / suppose that's the game
right enough.
Our officer was a first class chap
IN q raid. He was Il great big man.
not fat. but hellish powerful. l bet
he weighed Is stone if he weighed
a pound. and 1t was I'll big bone and
hard muscle. 1t gave you "A tickle IN
the throat 10 70 after him. He used -
so into the raid with n revolver and
two knuckle-custers. II he got close
enough to use his fists, God help tie
Gerry that he hit. He used 10 grun'
as he hit, you know, 'Auch! hift!' an|
ever they would go. 1t vas - bit a.:
al right watching him. or course no
Il German had Il chance against him.
but the wonder ws3 how he escaped
being copied out. they used to go for
him so much in lunches.
Well, this was the officer that took
us out or the raid that NIGHT. II was

a great wave of sunlight lit. up a
somber picture Of carnage and suffering
at the western end near the main en-
trance. Here on piles Of straw lay the
wounded Germans in ali stages OF suffer
ing. Their round, shaver heads, thin
cheeks and blush gray uniforms con-
trasted strangely with the sor9ber black
of the silent priests attending them, while
In the background the red trousers of the
French soldiers were just visible on tho
steps outside. Most OF the wounded had
dragged their straw behind the great goth
ic pillars. as II seeking shelter from their
own shells. The priest conducted us TO
ono Of the aisles beneath the window
where the she'll had entered hat morning.
a great pool OF blood lay there, staining
the column Just as the blood of Thomas
q Beckett must have stained the altar Of
Canterbury seven centuries before.
THAT monsieur, Is the blood OF the
French gendarme who was killed at II
this morning: but he did not go alone"
The priest pointed to two more recumbent
cures clad In the blush gray OF the
g. aiser's leglons. There they lay stiff and
sold as the effigies around them. Al
tnres had persisted by the same shell.
