Mouse. The ladies of the Red Cross
treated us cordially. We asked them
II all passing troops were as well treat
ed as We had been.
"Oh, yes" Il young woman answered,
but only few come here. The crown
prince, however has an especial at
tachment for the pioneers"
We were quartered over night. Sol
diers told us that Dun-sur-Meuse was
the headquarters of the Fifth army.
There were gay times in the town, with
an open-air concert every day. The Off
GERS often received women visitors
from Germany.
After hard march we arrived at
the front positions. In veritable
labyrinth of trenches, filled with water.
we had the utmost difficulty finding
our way about. Finally we arrived at
the very front. The French were only
ten meters away and before we had
been there two days we took part In
hand grenade encounter.
SOme distance back we established a
pioneer depot. Twenty-Five of our men
did nothing but assemble hand gre
nades. We were soon settled and ready
for an emergency.
In camp we were divided among
various troops. They showed us how
the warfare waged at this front re-
CURED every imaginable kind of fight
Ing. There was mining, sapping, hand
grenade throwing, mine throwing and
light patrol battles. This went on day
after day and night after night, with
4S hours in the trench and 12-hOur
rest. The shortage of men made a
less strenuous schedule impossible.

r OUR years ago the nations smiled:
II no sword had flashed, to bleed
them; so tame they were, a
little child seemed competent TO lead
them. The children sailed their paper

their parents fed the pigs and goats,
and planned work for the morrow.
Most kings observed the rules OF
Hoylc. and tried to do their reign.
ing so well thcrc'd be on loud turmoil
Of beeing or complaining. But ono
was dreaming on his throne a maudlin
dream OF glory; he'd make all lands
and crowns his own-you know the
weary story. Because the madman
dreamed his dream the world is rent
and shaken, and still the gorging vul~
lures scream DER red fields God for-
saken. -Four years ago the farmers
moved their harvests in the Valley
where cannon balls tear up the road.
and battered armies rally. And they'd
have laughed with silly scorn had any
one forecasted that all their farms
would soon be torn, and stained with
blood and blasted Still must our bans
ners he uniurlcd the cup of wrath be

world be thrown away and wasted, un-
til we're safe from madmen's drcamsN
made safe by stern endeayor; till all
the war lords and their schemes arc
