were gray uniforms, with tincups and
accouterments that belonged to the
Germans before our artillery and ma
chine guns got to them.
Our stretcher bearers were busy,
carrying the wounded back to f1rst-aid
dressing station, for, of course, we had
suffered too. From there the blesses
were shipped to the clearing station.
The dead lay in the trenches all day
and at night they were carried out
by working parties to "Stiff park" as
I called it.
A man with anything on his mind
ought not to go to the front-line
trenches. He will be crazy inside Of
month. The best way is not to
care whether it rains or SHOWS: there
are plenty Of important things to
worry about.

were about to start wnen the burg0-
master himself came running out. He
ordered US TO leave the car there and
said he would direct US where to 60.
He insisted that we go on foot, but I
could not understand vixen he tried
to explain why.
We soon saw the probable reason
for the burgomasters refusal to ride
in the car. All around for about a
mile the roads were heavily mined and
small red flags ON iron slaves were
stuck between the cobblestones, as
warnings not to put in much time
around those places. Also, there were
notices stuck up all around warning
people Of the mines and forbidding
heavy carts to pass. When we got
off the road breathed againI
After great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination and
made our report to the local command
ant. We told him all we could and in
turn received various information
from him. We were then taken over
to the hotel. Here we read a few
Paris newspapers, that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
had dinner, and fine dinner it was,
too.
After we had eaten all we could, and
wished for more room in the hold, we
went out into the garden and yarned
while with some gendarmes, and
then went to bed. We had big room
on the third floor front. We had just
turned in, and were all set for good
nights rest, when there was an explo-
sion Of different kind from any !
had heard before, and we and the bed
rocked about, like a canoe in the wake
Of stern-wheeler.
There were seven more explosions,
and then they stopped, though we
could hear the rattle Of a machine gun
at some distance away. Bartel said it
must be the forts, and after some argu-
ment ] agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an adj
vance under cover of q bombardment,
and that as soon as the forts got into
action the Germans breeZed. We were
moi worried much, SO we did not get
out of beo
A few minutes later we heard foot
steps on the roof, and then a woman
in a window across the street, asking
a gendarme whether it was safe to go
back to bed. Then got up and took
q look into the street. There were lot
of people standing around talking, but
it was not interesting enough to keep
q tired man up, SO back into the hay.
It seemed about the middle Of the
night when Bartel called me, but he
said it was time to get out and get to
work. We found he had made poor

Saws for Cutting Metal.

Not so very long ago the discovery
was made in Germany that metals
could be sawed easier and quicker
with rapidly revolving smooth disks
OF steel, than with toothed circular
saws. It was found that the cutting
was done by the heat generated by
the friction Of the edge Of the disk
against the metal. The metal is melt
ed at the point Of contact, while the
steel Of the disk, being cooled by the
air, does not reach the melting point.
The disks need no sharpening and do
not wear out so quickly as the toothed
saws heretofore used for cutting met
al. The faster the disk revolves, the
greater the amount of heat generated
and the quicker the job.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

guess, for when we were half dressed
he looked at his watch and it was only
quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since we were that far
along, and then go down and cruise for
a breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some of the hotel people it took them
a long time to get it through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
were those Of bombs dropped by a
Zeppelin, which had sailed over the
city.
The first bomb had fallen less than
two. hundred yards from where we
slept. No wonder the bed rockedl It
had struck narrow three-story house
around the corner from the hotel, and
had blown 1t to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and number
died later. The bomb tore a fine hole
and hurled pieces of itself several hum
dred yards. The street itself was
filed with rocks, and number of
houses were down, and others wreck
ed. When we got out into the street
and talked with some army men we
found that even they were surprised
by the force Of the explosion.
We learned that the Zepp had sailed
not more than five hundred feet above
the town. It's motor had been stopped
just before the first bomb was let go,
and 1t had slid along perfectly silent
and with all lights out. The purr that
we had thought was machine guns,
after the eighth explosion, was the
starting Of the motor, as the Zepp got
out Of range of the guns that. were be-
ing set for the attack.
The last bomb had struck in a large
square. 1t tore hole In the cobble-
stone pavement about thirty feet
square and five feet deep. Every win
dow on the square was Smashed. The
fronts Of the houses were riddled with
various sized holes. All the crockery
and china and mirrors in the house
were in fragments.
Not much more than an hour before
the Zepp came, we had been sitting in
a room at the house Of the local mili.

CHAPTER viii.
on Runner Service.

On Runner SeTvICSs
One night man named Bartel and
I were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to go to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch staff headquar-
ters that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel In an automobile and keep a
sharp watch as we went, for Dixmude
was being contested holly at that time
and German patrols were In the neigh
borhood. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one Of
our outposts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, so it was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after bit OF arguing. Just
as we were leaving message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
1t was lucky they stopped us, for 9TH
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone, that If French flag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; lie a
Belgian, that our forces were either
in control or were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. After this we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept a sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole Of the old fish market, for
by this we. would get our bearings
and perhaps, If it should be German
flag, timely warning. But after we
were down the road 6. bit and had got
clear we saw Belgian flag whipping
around in good, strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place it also indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not SO cheerful.
AS we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge Of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold Of
man who came out from a little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
it up considerably, killing and wound
ing few inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward small force of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
Boches out. The Germans were ex-
pected either to return or begin bonn
bardment at any moment and all the
inhabitants who sported cellars were
hiding in them. The rest were trying
to get out Of town with their belong
ings as best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vile, where
we were admitted and after short
wait taken to the burgomaster. We
questioned him as to news, for we had
been instructed to pick up any infor-
nation he might have as to conditions.
But we did aot get much, for he could
not get about because Of the Germans,
who had made tt policy to terrorize
the people Of the town.
We had just got into the car and

APPEALS FOR AID

The San Francisco Association of the Blind has been requested, by the President of the United States, to in- crease it's present facilities for the teaching of useful trades to the Blind.
 The President desires that the As sOciation be prepared to instruct the many American soldiers who may have lost their sight from wounds re- ceved during the war.
 The first requisite will be the erec- lion of a new building to house the various industries to be taught, and with that object in view, we beg that all who may be able to do so, will de- posit in The Melting Pot, at Lomen's Drug store, bits of old gold and silver jewolry. etc.
 These unfortunate blind boys will have made what is truly considered next to laying down life itself, the su- preme sacrifice for our beloved Coun- try. The warmhearted citizens of

In letter to Sulzer regarding the fading gold industry. Nice-chairman Chas. K. Foster of the Priorities Com mittee gives the somewhat doubtful assurance that gold mine operators will be given preference in the matter If securing materials and supplies. In reference thereto he says: "ln this connection we beg to say that the gold mining industry has been listed on the first Preference List and they should now have no trouble whatever in obtaining their future supplies and materials. If they have any trouble which will interfere with the produc- ton of gold. if they will be kind enough tO call it to our attention, we will dc whatever We can to straighten the matter out; altho we believe that their position is such on the Preference List that they aught not have any trouble"
 All of which may be very effective method of helping the gold industry but we can't see where it reduces the costs of production, which appear about the onls-~real obstacle to gold production.

 It is stated that the reason for the Hettie E coming ashore was that the anchor line parted and one of the loose ends of the rope fouled the pro- pellor when the vessel was got under way by the crew The rope wound around the blades prevented the coas- ter making her escape from the outer breakers and she was headed for a smooth looking spot on shore.

vain effort to reach bedrock, 1t was
 deciaed to tie up until next Spring.
 The dredge was placed in winter quarters. Mir. Bernard also states
 that Joe Vint has transferred large
 part of the machinery for the drcdge
 he is erecting on Sunset creek in the
 Teller section from it's former resting
 place on the Serpentne river. Aside
 from the tin operations, little work
 was going on In the mining line ex-
 cept at Lost river tin mine.
 In spite of the various mining hin-
 drances incident to the war, Mir. Der
 nard is exceedingly optimistic regard
 ing the future outlook for mining in
 this section of Alaska, basing his opin-
 ion largely on the number of contracts
 for dredge installations his company
 has in hand at the present time and
 which will be completed as soon as the
 necessary material becomes possible
 He also predicts an immense influx of both labor and capital into the coun try directly after the war is terminat-
 ed and the natural cessation of many industrial enterprises now engaging both capital and labor with great pro- fit owing to war conditions. Mir. Ber- nard also states that during his stay in this section, he will examine sev
 eral dredging properties in the vicin- ity of Nome on behalf of outside part ies and may also make trip to Dime creek to look over the dredging possi- bilities of that section. He intends to remain in the district until the depar- ture of the last boats.
 As he has been in close touch with
 the mining and dredging industry of the districts for the past eight years and has personally installed seven
 dredges, his prediction regarding the future of mining here is of more than passing importance, as coming from one who is thoroughly familiar with conditions both here and in the states. Mr. Bernard has been an important factor in the development of the past and has done a large amount of busi- ness in Nome, where he has achieved an excellent reputation for fair deal ing and enjoys the confidence of the local business world to an enviable degree.

Ben Bernard President and General Manager of the American Dredge Building and Construction O.. of Seattle, who recently returned from the York and Teller sections where he has been looking after the interests of his company, reports that the western districts were suffering from the scar city of water and also by considerable frost still remaining in the ground from last winter The Buck creek dredge of the American Tin Dredging O.. in which the Bernard company is heavily interested, was obliged to close down temporarily on several Oc- casions during past weeks owing to lack of water to operate the dredge. The tin output, however, was excellent and the recovery to date Is such as to make the seasons recovery practically equal to that of last year up to the same period.

Prospects of sharply increased prices in canned and dried fruits and canned vegetables are contained in grocery trade bulletin reaching Dave Dunbar the well known travelling man, which has the following to say regarding the canned and dried fruit situation on August Sth.
 Approximately s23,OOO,OOO worth of dried and canned California fruit and vegetables have been purchased dur ing the last three weeks by the federal government according to an an nouncement last night by Ralph P. Merritt United States Food Adminis- trator for California. These pur- chases. Merritt said, represent but fraction of what this state will be called upon to supply. The purchases thus far. include the following dried fruits:
 Prunes, ................sS.O sS.OOO.OOO

 The government has also reserved for purchase 25 per cent of the Cali fornia string bean pack and one third of the tomato pack, according to IT,. Clay Miller, chief of the Pacific divi- sion of purchases.
 The government reservation of prunes and peaches has meant the eli mination of practically 60 per cent of the ordinary commercial business in those staples, it was announced, while on some grades of canned goods, com mercial business has been entirely eli | minated"
