OVER THE TOP
BY
ARTHUR GUY ENUEY,
AN American Boy Who Went.
Copyright. 1917. BY Arthur Guy EmpsyJ

Right now l can see the butt OF that
gun trembling. The Scottie made "A
complete turn in the air. hit the
ground. rolling over twice. each time
c!awing at the earth. and then re-
.mained still. about four feet from me.
in a sort OF sitting position. l called
10 him. Are you hurt badly. jock"
but no answer. He was dead. a dark.
Scd smudSc was coming through his
tunic right under the heart. The blood
ran down his bare knees. making a hor-
riblc sight. On his right side he car
ricd his water bottle. I was crazy for
Il drink and tried TO reach this. but
for the life of me could not negotiate
that four feet. Then l become uncon-
scious. When Invoke up | was in an
advanced first-aid post l asked the
doctor If we had taken the trench
we took the trench and the wood be-
yond. all right" he said. and you fell
lows did your bit: but. my lad, that was
th!rty-six hours ago. You were dying
in mo mans land" in that bally. hole
for a day and a half. It's wonder
you are alive" He also told me that
out of tho twenty that were in the
raiding party. seventeen were killed.
The officer died of wounds in crawling
back to our trench and WAS severely
wounded. but one fellow returned with
out scratch without any prisoners.
40 doubt this chap was the one who
had sncezcd and improperly cut the
barbcd wire.
In the official communique our trench
raid WAS described as follows:
''All quiet on the western front, ex-
ceptinS in the ncighborhood OF Com
mcCourt wood. where one Of our raid
ing parties penetrated into the Ger
man lines"
1t is needless 10 say that we had
no use for our persuaders or come
alOngs. as we brought back no pris-
oncrs and until / die Old Peppers
words, "pcrsonaliy I don't believe that
that part Of tho German trench is oc-
cupicd." viii always come to me when
hear some follow trying TO get away
with q Hshy statement. l will judge il
accordingly.

The campaign for the Salvation
Army Was Fund has closed In Iron
County, and as usual the people OF the
county showed their Americanism by
going "Over the top" The quota for
the county was $500 90, and the amount
raised is S7l6.O3. Out Of the As School
Districts in the County, oil but seven
raised their quota or more, two went
below their quota and five have failed
to send in any contribution at this
writing.
The five districts from which moth.
ing has been received at this time are
districts 2, s, g., 3, and 4S, and their
allotment altogether was $3S. 90. Dis.
tricts 3 aud II failed to raise their
quota. Several persons had charge Of
the drive in IrontOn-A Arcadia districts,
and with that exception, n person
had charge in each OF the other dis.
tricts Of the county. These workers de.
serve much credit for what they have
done, for in some instances they con-
tributed the larger portion Of the
quota for their districts. 1t was in
tended to publish the names Of the
persons appointed to collect the
amount allotted to their district
together with their quota and the
amount raised, but time and space
forbid at this time. 1t is to be
regretted that q single district
has failed to raise their quota, and
/ trust they will do SO yet and
send it in. This money goes to aid a
worthy cause. The Salvation Army
workers 60 right into the trenches

boys are being wounded and killed on
the battle fields OF France that our
liberties shall remain secure. We must
continue to back them up. They will
thank you a thousand times for what
you have done at this time for the
Salvation Army.
Very respectfully,
