The Cook Had Cold Feet.
The cook Of our battery had a very
bad case of cold feet, and consa-
quently the chow suffered. lie was
more afraid of a shell than an old
woman of a thunderstorm. Every
time he heard q shell ;whistlins he'd
go under the bunk head first. 1t
didn't make any difference what he
had cooking; he'd let everything burn
up rather than come out before he
thought the danger was over.
In order to bring the chow to the
boys, the cook had to walk out into
the open and go from n dugout to
another. And the worst Of it was
that the boches always started she'll

fell within a quarter of a mile OF that
cook. he'd drop the slum-kettle, spill
back to his dugout. On the second
day we got back to the front, the
cook dropped three lum-kertles in
that manner, and we yer ONE

We felt better when u observer

around mealtime again for fully a

with the cook about his fear Of shells.

The Battalion Band

1t is to be hoped that the Board Of Education viii grant the re
quest of the Perth Amboy Council of Defense that the battalion band
now being organized here be permitted to hold rehearsals or the
stage in the high school auditorium. This is a genuine patriotic move
and as such deserves every consideration and assistance.
Perth AmbOy is justly proud of its auditorium in the high school
and nothing should be permitted there that would in any way tend to
destroy its usefulness and atractiveness. On the other hand, it must
not be held too sacred for use.
These are war times. 1t is a time for sacrifice. Many people of
wealth are turning their villas and country homes over to the gov
eminent for military purposes; many communities are surrendermg
the use of their parks and public buildings to help win the war. If
Perth Amboy can contribute anything to the cause by permitting the
use of the high school it should be done gladly and willingly.
That the Board Of Education hold this view is apparent from
steps already taken to conduct cooking and canning classes in the
vantage, that also has been thrown open for mass meetings and other
gatherings. 1t all has an important bearing on the winning OF the
war as far as Perth Amboy is concerned.
The Perth Amboy Council of Defense is a war organization ex-
clusively. 1t is affiliated with the State Council of Defense and the
National Council of Defense. Through the local organization this city
is kept in touch with all war activities throughout the country.
What was first organized here IS a home defense guard has now
become a part of the New Jersey Militia Reserve. This city boasts
an entire battalion Of the militia, and patriotic citizens to the number
Of fifty or more have volunteered to form a battalion band. Everyone
who has heard this band practice is enthusiastic about it. There is
the making of a wonderful organization-one that will be a credit to
the state as well as to the city.
Put forty-fve brass instruments and several drums in the pt. in
the gymnasium in the high school basement and one can imagine what
a eonclomerahon of sound there must be. 1t is impossible to do good
The one suitable place for this band to practice is on the stage
in the high school.
And, why mott
It is impossible for men playing in a band to use tobacco in any
form. The auditorium could not be harmed, and the band would be
greatly encouraged.
AS a matter Of fact, as the musicians become more proficient. why
not through the auditorium open to the public during rehearsalsf 1t
would afford an opportunity to hear a band concert once a week that
would be worth while. 1t would be a civic affair that would go a long
way toward furnishing free entertainment for the public during sum-
mer evenings-and what more appropriate place than the high school
auaff6s.2-rhuilt with the peoples money for the public usef
We feel sure that the Board of Education will act favoraby on
the request as soon as it is made. 1t is only one of the things that the
board can do to assist in the war activities of this community.

Old Courtrai, Scene Of Battle OF
Spurs" Again Swept by War.

Old COurtrai, Scene OF "Battie OF
Spurs" Again Swept by War.
The quaint old town of Courtrai, in
Belgium near the French border,
north of Lille, has for the past four
years been swept by the desolation of
war. This ancient town Is the scene
of the famous Battle Of the Spurs"
In the fourteenth century, and many
Of its landmarks have been destroyed
by the invading armies of the Kaiser.
In the Belgian army the sons of Cour-
trai, inspired by the glorious tradi-
lions of their ancestors, have played
a gallant role.
1t was 616 a ago today that
Courtrai was besieged by an invading
army, and on the following day, July
II, 1902, the stury F1emings. by their
great victory over superior forces,
gained a place among the immortal
heroes of war. Relics Of that victory
were still preserved in the Courtrai
cathedral, chief among them being
many gilt spurs taken from the bodies
of the dead, which gave to the battle
of Courtrai the name Of "the Battle of
the Spurs"
l. Flanders became a part of the
kingdom of France in the ninth en-
fury, n was governed by counts
subject to the French monarch. AS
the FNemings advanced in wealth and
population, their position of depend
ence became increasingly hateful, and
as the thirteenth century closed they
were In open revolt against their mas
ters Early in 1902 the insurgents
gained possession of the city OF Bru-
ges, and the French residents were
put to the sword.
When the news reached Paris an
army was Immediately dispatched to
put down the insurrection. Robert,
Count of Artois, who had defeated the
Flemings a few years before, led the
army, and 1t was an imposing and
p~ortentious spectacle which greeted
the people of Courtrai as the French
force drew up before the place. There
were 5000 knights. all men of aristo-
| cratic birth, all clad in magnificent
knightly mail, and mounted upon
/ blooded horses. There were 10000
archers, trained in all the arts OF war
as practiced at that time, and back of
them, file on file, no less than 10000
foot soldiers.
Against this array of French chiv-
airy and g~allantry the F1emings could
oppose only 10000 men, for the most
part unframed and armed only with
hikes, rude agricultural instruments.
Determined to defend Courtrai to
their last gasp, the Flemfngs took up
a position ON the plains before the
town, with a canal in front. A quar-
rel between two French officers re-
suited IN a premature blind charge on
the part of the French horsemen.
They did not see the canal until they
were almost upon 1t, and, pushed
from behind. nearly the whole force
of horsemen plunged into its waters.
In the wild confusion which followed
the Flemings attacked the struggling
men. and killed them without mercy.
Robert, Count of Artois. was among
the slain. The fate of their comrades
turned the blood Of the survivors into
water. and they withdrew. leaving the
Flemings in full possession OF the
field. After that France gained sew
eral victories. but eventually gave up
the struggle. and Flanders was sub
Jected successfully to Burgundy. Aus
