contained deep shell holes, which were
filed with water. In the heavy dark
ness men fell into these water holes.
Thoroughly drenched, we continued
our march. No attention was paid to
obstacles In the way over which we
were constantly stumbling. Speed was
the only aim. Dead men and horses
lay In the middle of the road, but no
one took pains to remove them.
At dawn we arrived at a little vii.
lage, where we halted. We took pos
session and established as strong q
temporary defense as possible in the
time permitted. Our position was es-
tabllshed behind cemetery wall. New
troops continued TO arrive, but all were
badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted
artillery and machins-gun detachments
followed. These had some sort Of
formation and while there was some
disorder the panic, which character
lied the other units, was missing here.
They also showed evidences Of having
suffered losses, but nothing In com.
parison to ours.

eral wagons turned over and others
became imbedded in the mud. The
horses were unhitched from these and
the wagons left behind. The wagoners
mounted these horses and drove on,
forgetting everything in one wild
panlc-strlcken race for safety.
An officer rode up and handed an or
der to our captain. We were halted
at field close to the road. There we
were permitted to stack our guns and
rest. AS we lay at this point we
watched the passing columns, field
kitchens, munltion trains, sanitary col
umns and field postal wagons racing
by in one grand carnival Of confusion.
Every wagon carried wounded men.
Their faces Indicated clearly what tor
lures they were enduring as they were
bumped along over the unspeakable
roads upon heavy trucks. Still they
were anxious to go ahead at whatever
cost. They feared the fate which
would befall them should they fall into
the hands Of their merclIess enemy,
which would show them the same con-
sideration which they themselves had
offered In previous encounters, in
which they took no French wounded
men prisoners.
Evening came on and with it tor
rental rain. We lay In the fields,
weary and chilled through, yet no one
of our unit moved, for we were ut
terly overcome by exhaustion. Artil-
lery detachments now began to arrive,
but few of them had their required
number Of six guns. Many had only
three, others two, and a few proceeded
with only one fieldplece. AT one time
a whole row of about fifty gun car
rlages passed without any guns mount
ed upon them whatever. These bat
teries had managed to save their
horses, but were compelled to abandon
their guns to the French. Some car
riages were drawn by only two to four
horses instead Of the required six.
There now passed before us some
fifteen magnificent automobiles, the ap-
pearance of which won the admiration
Of everybody.
"Ah," exclaimed many Of the SOL
dlers, "the general staff-Duke Al

other room. IN other words, you are
investing your money where 1t earns
dividends only cne-thlrd of the time.
The modern builder builds for eff
cheney. He makes every room work
"a hours every day. This is accom-
plished by the use OF the concealed
bed, which eliminates the necessity of
the bedroom.
The concealed bed has changed the
whole idea Of what a home should be.
1t is not folding bed, but a full-size,
all-metal bed, standard in every dlmen-
sion, so constructed that during the
day when 1t is not needed 1t is swung
into a clothes closet aud concealed
behind door only feet wide. When
night comes in ten seconds time and
with scarcely any effort, the bed is
swung out of the closet and lowered
for use In the adjoining room. Any
living room or dining room can be al.
most instantly converted into a Sleep
ing room. Instead Of sleeping In small
crowded bedrooms, the largest, best
ventilated rooms In the house are used
for sleeping purposes at night, when
they are no longer needed as living
rooms.
Study the accompanying plan for
moment. Here is a four-room house
with slx-room accommodations. Two
concealed beds are used In this house
and one regular bedroom Is provided.
Even in such a small house there is
no feeling Of being overcrowded, all
on account of the arrangement. This
house with slx-room efficiency Is only
q feet, 8 inches wide and 20 feet, 9
inches long, yet II furnishes perfect
sleeping accommodations for six peo-
pie without overcrowding.
The saving in construction between
this house and one Of FIVE rooms makes
1t worthy Of much consideration.
The concealed bed is no longer an
experiment. 1t is a pronounced sue.
cess and is In general use today in
every section of the country. No 9th.
er one idea has been so instrumental
In reducing construction cost and fur
nishing maximum accommodations in
a minimum space.

One Of the great problems now con-
fronting the large manufacturing In
situations of the country is the proper
and adequate housing of the workmen
employed at the different plants. Sat
isfactory home building at a reason
able cost has become the vital concern
of the nations business, Just as It al
ways has been of the individual home
seeker. So now the most expert men
obtainable are employed to develop
plans for houses that will furnish max
imum accommodations and at the same
time be moderate In cost.
The logical and most practical solu-
tlon to this problem is to analyze the
old plan Of housing, take advantage of
the mistakes that have been made and
get down to the modern basis Of eff
cheney and economy Of space.
Not so many years ago real estate
sold by the acre instead of by the foot
and building materials could be pur-
chased at very low price. Every
family had large house and garden
and very little thought was given to
economy either in building construc-
ton or In homework.
Surrounded by such conditions, we
formed the extravagant habit of build
ing houses just about twice the size
necessary in order to have two COM
plete sets Of rooms, one to occupy at
night and the other to occupy during

CHAPTER TX.

must confess that most Of us be-
lieved in this at the time, that We
would soon be in Paris. Other bodies
Of troops arrived from all sides. We
had marched several hours when news
came to us that Yltry had been re-
taken by the French and that they had
seized a tremendous amount Of mill
tary stores. captured the hospitals. to-
gether with their medical units and pa
tents. and that the sanitary compa-
niles also had been made prisoners. At
about two O'Clock in the afternoon we
arrived at the heights which had been
pointed out to Us early In the march
by our captain.
We now began to understand that
something had gone wrong. Streets
were filed with troops from all
branches Of service. trying to use the
road along which we were marching.
Being outnumbered. we were crowded
backward. Empty munition columns
raced by Us in no order whatever.
They were followed By canteeu and
other supply wagons The greatest
confusion relgned everywhere. Every
minute added to the congestion Until
finally there was 4 dead halt. The
drivers Of some wagons left the road

portions By traversing the fields which

rental rain had no tendency to tighten
our spirits. They have directed the
slaughter Of thousands and now they
motor away" said one man, while We
lay here In a morass In the rain. aWe
are not considered"
What we were to be assigned to do
had not yet been told us. We were left
lying In our swamp until ten o'clock
that night. The troops continued to
flow back In great disorganized con-
tingents. Machine gun companies
passed with empty wagons. having lost
their guns. The laundering OF the
cannon gradually came nearer from the
west. The noise along the highways
became greater and a panic spread,
adding to the horrors OF the night. Flu
gitives wandered around In the dark
ness through the streaming rain. trying
to lead their wives and children TO
safety, only TO find death under the
wheels Of the wagons. The wounded
were also mangled BY Scores piteous
cries for help were heard everywhere.
Under the strain OF the traffic the
roads became badly broken up and all
along their sides abandoned vehicles Of
every description lay.
We started forward at about three
O'Clock In the morning and soon we
were with the rear guard. Infantry
regiments, now merely fragments Of
their former strength. arrived in 4

what blowers Mean to Mankind.

Eight hundred years before Christ a
man on the plains of Assyria wrote
this prophecy: sand the desert shah
bloom like the rose, and the waste
places shall be made green, and there
shall be no lion there, nor any raven.
Gus beast, but sorrow and signing shall
flee away" Twenty-seven hundred
years have come and gone since that
prophecy was written, but now the
dream Is coming true.
Never in all history has there been
such an interest In gardening as there
is today. And we are gardening not
only for the sake of the fruits and
flowers but because we wish to raise
better men and better women.-Her.

A Butte official of the Anaconda
Copper Company says April copper
production approached 28,000,000
pounds, although mines are suffering
somewhat from labor shortage. Silver
output was near 100000 ounces and
zinc output 100000 pounds.
The Butte Copper and Zinc Com
pany reports for the quarter ended
March 81 a total gross profit of $685.
TT. Of this, one-half goes to the An
aconda Copper Mining Company and
the other half to the Butte Copper and
Zinc Company. The report states that
the manganese ore shipments in the
first quarter amounted to $500 long
tons and shipments are now about 200
tons daily, with the company getting
better prices for the product. The zinc
production at present is about 100
tons per day.
