would have been a proper charge un- der the regulations. Therefore, re- gulation has been approved by the President fixing the aggregate com pensation to ai the members of To- cal board upon the basis of thirty cents for each rcgistrant finally clas- sihed. It will be observed that in ab- sence of other distribution fhereof among the members which may be determined upon by unanimous vote of a local board, the aggregate of the unit cost will be divided into equal portions between the members of the board. It will also be observed that the board may by unanimous vote change this proportionate distribu- ton so that one or more members may receive more than his proportionate fraction while others may receive less. This provision is made not for the pur pose of permitting boards of which some members are rendering grati- tous service to vote an amount which may have been received by them to the other member or members, but it is intended to be applied by boards only in those cases which for one rea- son or another sorletimcs arise, where the greater portion of the work is nec- cssmily performed by one or another of the members of the board.

INSTANTANEOUS DEED

At the very beginning of the war 1t was evident that there were going to be in it not only bad deeds, brutal deeds, but also good deeds, magnanl- nous deeds. One such is found Tn Coningsby Dawson's "Carry On:
 During one fierce engagement Brit ish officer saw q German officer impaled on the barbed wire writhing in anguish. The fire WAS dreadful, yet he still hung there unscathed. At length the British officer could stand it no longer. He sald< quietly: "I cant bear to look al that poor chap any longer.' So he went out under the hail of shell, re- leased him. took him on his shoulders. and carried him to the German trench. The firing ceased. Both sides watched the act with wonder. Then the com manoer in the Gem trench came forward. took from his own bosom the the Iron Cross, and pinned it on the breast of the British officer. Such an episode is true to the holiest idea of chivalry; and it is all the more welcome because the German record is stained by so many acts of barbarism which the world cannot forgive.
