MEN WEio CAME BACK
ONE MORNING AT wotyeReHEm.

 I believe if you're going to be killed you'll be killed at home as we'll as on the battlefield. And if you are over there in the thick of it you'll escape if only by hairs breadth, if it isn't time for you to get yours.''
 For instance, take one morning at WolveAyhem: It was just after stand down. and we were in our dugouts preparing our breakfast. All of a sudden we received a rally of rifle grenades from Fritz. I went out with Nick Nevill who was with me in the dugout, to see if anyone had been hit. While we were out going round the trench rife grenade went through the roof of our dugout and spoiled our breakfast. It would have spoiled us too, if had not decided to step out to see what was going on oh the outside
 A month or so later we were trans ferred to the sector in front of KeIn- mel Hill, better known as "Bull-ring.' We were warned by our intelligence department that Fritz would make 2 raid on us in the morning. Sc we prepared. Our bombers went over the top of our trench and took up z tf" "watehful waiting position just in. side our wire. They lay down as
 comfortably as possible in about foul i inches of snow. This was the nigh l of February. 1916.
 At two thirty that morning Frit; l came over. numbering about sevent, strong, and, believe rae. our bomber ! gave them the hottest reception the. had had in a long time. Very few 0

STORES OF THE WAR
The Daring Work of One Aviator.


 Correspondence of The Associated
 Prcss.)
 A stirring story Of how one daring British aviator, like d guardian angel held up for a whole day repeated en- erily attacks upon a weak and efufr : bling British line at Canibrai in the height of the desperate struggle there by using four airplanes one after an other as they were torn and crippled by enemy fire, has just come to light,
 It shows that some of the most daring and dangerous airplane work of the past year has been in the new field of attacking enemy infantry from the air.
 The Germans were trying to recover a portion of the lost Hin6enburg line. pushing with a great weight of men and guns at 2 point where 1t was very difficult for the British to bring up re- serves. The British battalion opposing the attack had gone to earth in little isolated groups among the shell holes grimiy determined to hang on to the end
 The German masses had already moved across No Mans Land into the battered earthworks that once formed the British firing line. Other masses were moving up in support. and ai- ready the nearest shell holes were heaving and boiling over with the restless heads and shoulders of mer about to renew the advance, Tho bar. rage of the British guns was heavy but at close quarters only infantry can stop the progress of infantry, and F the fire from the British shell holes had grown weak and struggling Il looked as if the seauty British lint T {. of numbers. 1 The fire from the Germans increased until the air was alive with their bull llets.

GEORGE voN [. MEYER.

The death Of George von l.. Meyer a proninent New Dnglander who while out of the pubiis, eye for the past few years. has previously been prominently identified with gov ernment affairs. h connection with the Roosevelt and Taft adninistra- tions he had held such important of fees as postEnaster general ambassa : Cor to Italy and Russia where in the closing days of the Russo -Ja panese war he performed important services in connection with the treaty of peace between the, nations. and as secretary cf the navy. Previous to that time 1ac had been a leading figure in con nestion with the Massachusetts legis- lature and republican politics in that state.
 The service which he rendered tt his country was by no means small As a secretary of the navy he took the position that the United States should te adequately prepared by building navy in keeping with the size and safety of the nation. His ar guHent at the time was that ws should build more ships and eyer though he may not have had anythins in mind except the maintenance oi peace by providing q navy in Keeping with other leading nations he was strongly opposed by those of the ep. posite party who considered that ths expenditures for the navy should b, curtailed. The, result was that in. stead of programme according to hi; ideas being carried out it was seri ogsiy cut
 The stand which he toek. however
 prevented congress, from interferins much more seriously with naval prep arauons and handicapped as we wer, in naval equipment at our entranc, into the war the situation would tav
 been much different but for his fore sight and work.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Sufficient farm labor must be sup- piled, even if all non essential efn- ploynnents be discontinued. Recruit . ing for farm labor must be taken as seriously as recruiting for army or navy. But it must not stop there.
 Men, women and children must en- list as garden volunteers. By growing a large percentage of our food neaf our kitchen doors we release other acres for iivestocks, wheat. corn. Not only that, but we relieve the railroads of a heavy load of vegetable hauling.
 Last, but note least, when con sidered from the fanily's viewpoint the cost of living is lowered if there's a garden in the bacSyard-and a poul- try house! New Haven Times Leader.
