Over the Ton.

On my second trip to the trenches
our officer was making his rounds of
inspection, and we received the cheer
fu news that at four in the morning
we we're to go over the top and take
the German front-line trench. NV heart
turned to lead. Then the officer car
r1ed on with his instructions. To tho
best OF my memory I recall them as
follows: "At eleven a wiring party will
go out in front and cut lanes thronoh
our barbed wire for the passage Of
troops In the morning. At two o'clock
our artillery will open up with an in
tense commandment, which will last nm
I'll four. Upon the lifting of the bar

days leave for Blighty, and would be
believed at five o'clock to proceed to

He was tickled to death at these
welcome tidings and regaled his more
or less envious mates beside him on
the fire step with the good times In
store for him. He figured 1t out that

rstarted to idget with his rifle, and
then suddenly springing up on the fire

his rifle over the top and fired two shots

at the bottom of the trench, and lay

turns up.
Around II: 80 dinner shows up.
When this is eaten the men try to
amuse themselves until "tea" appears
at about four o'clock, then 'stand to''
and they carry on as before.
While In rest billets Tommy gets up
about six in the morning, washes up,
answers roll call, is inspected by his
platoon officer, and has breakfast. At
S:45 he parades (drills) with his COM
pany or goes on fatigue according to
the orders which have been read out
by the orderly sergeant the night pre-
vious.
Between IL 80 and noon he is dis
missed, has his dinner and is "on his

unless he has clicked for a digging or
working party, and so it goes on from
day to day, always looping the loop''

sometimes, while engaged in a
''cootie' hunt, you think. Strange to
say, but it is fact, while Tommy is
searching his shirt serious thoughts
come to him. Many a time, when per
forming this operation, I have tried
to figure out the outcome of the war
and what will happen to me.
My thoughts generally ran in this
channel:
Will l emerge safely from the next
attack? IF do will skin through the
Following one, and so on? While your
mind is wandering into the future it
is likely to be rudely brought to earth
by Tommy interrupting with, "What,s
good for rheumatismY'
Then you have something else to
think Of. Will you come out Of this
war crippled and tied into knots with
rheumatism, caused by the wet and
mud Of trenches and dugouts? You
give it up as bad job and generally
saunter over to the nearest estaminet
TO drown your moody ferebodings in a
glass Of sickening French beer or to
try your luck at the always present

it has seemed to reach a new low level

The Robesonian has been at some
pains to make inquiries concerning a
recent complaint in regard to out-of-
town ladies being annoyed by fresh
young men or boys. Only one COM
plant has been made to a policeman
here, and in that instance the offense
was not committed, we understand, at
the picture show Our correspondent
cid right to mention the matter, but
we hope and believe there will be nc
further room for complaint. Luln-
berton young men are not given to
subjecting visiting ladies, or any 9th
ers, to annoyance, and perhaps the in
cident which came under the notice OF
cur correspondent is the only IL
stance. At least that is the only one
that has been reported. We hope il
will remain the single exception to q
good record in that respect.

it is necessary to consume one ton OF
coal in the construction of two tons
of shipping.
"In addition to building ships the
Government must have the material
to rush to completion its railroad
equipment program, which calls for
1OO,0O0 cars and 1925 locomotives.
This is the largest single order ever
placed for railroad equipment and
will cost Uncle Sam about 1924 ,00O,-
600. However, it isn't half enough,
and the reason for this lnadequacy is
the inability of the railroad officials
to secure sufficient steel even to build
composite cars. Assuming that 200,-
900 tons of steel and castings are re-
quired for the locomotives, and that
l 600 900 tons of such metals are need
ed to build the cars, we shall here
again have an enormous coal consump-
tion amounting to nearly 100000
tons.
"The War Industries board in
Washington is in almost daily receipt
of orders from our Allies for thou
sands of tons of steel plates and other
material, while right now our plants
are 6 months behind and are filling
orders placed with sin the latter
part of 1917 The railroads need be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons Of
rails"
The foregoing startling array OF
facts is taken from an article in The
Saturday Evening Post by Floyd w.
Parsons, editor Of Coal Age. 1t is an
array of facts so incomprehensible
in magnitude as to hit one between the
eyes and make one gasp. The wonder
is, in view Of such facts, that so many
of US pursue the even tenor of our
way apparently only half awake to
the appalling magnitude of the de-
mands of this hideous nightmare of
war. No wonder the author says:
"Our duty is plain, and it must be
viewed as principle, not a sentiment.
We must give our all, not because
the Government can demand it of US
but because to do so is right" And
further:
"The time has come for extreme
personal sacrifice on the part of all
Americans. Already some of
our boys are languishing in foul Ger
man prisons and are dying from dis
ease and scientific starvation. 1t is
inevitable that more and more of our
finest manhood will be in similar
-predicament as the days pass, and we
must make this a short war, if such
a happy result can be brought about,
by extending our maximum effort
now.
"The boys over there must have
physical courage that despises all
danger; over here we must have moral
courage that despises all opinion.
Courage is no less true because it is
passive. Often the greatest bravery
is exhibited in the recesses of private
life. Our cause is good; and we must
be strong all the way up and all the
way down, all the way round and all
the way through; first, last and al
ways-strong."
The facts given in the article from
which we quote at length above ought
to be sufficient to make each one of
US grid up our loins spiritually, men
tally, morally and physically, and
let the war take such complete pos
session of us that we shall do our ut
most every moment to help, that we
shall buy War Savings stamps and
Liberty bonds and contribute to the
Red Cross and help in everything our
hands can find to do to help win the
war quickly.
