 and Here at Home

In Washington, soldiers who are re- siderable fun at the expense of those who were forced to remain in the national capital during the fireworks. As an evil dence of the good-natured kidding that these overseas veterans are handing out witness the following verse, composed oy one of them and entitled "On the Battle field of Washington

TEMPORARY CELL

q shouted at the top of my voice, but it was scarcely more than whisper in the confines of my temporary cell. l thought at the time that it would be my cell for ever, but one of the stretch CT bearers saw my foot protruding from the mass of earth I was buried under, and, following it up, found me further in, in form fitting cave, made by the remains of a little scrub tree. The tree had saved my life, holding the entire weight of the tons of earth above me off, and forming a twisting passage to the surface which afforded air. We later enlarged this place. and made an obser- vation post of it.
 Many of my comrades were killed. but as I said before, I escaped without a scratch"

Percy Dunlap of Rainbow Division Tells of Thrilling Experiences in Argonne
 Forest Fight

Percy Dunlap, native son of BlrmlnS- ham, is home again after participating in the last great battle of the Argonne, l6 terrible days while the German guns pounded the lines. He was with Com pany F, Rainbow division.
 "One time, during the last battle Of the Argonne, my company did 16 days on stretch said Dunlap "The big guns were dropping shells all around us, and good many were killed or wounded in that stretch, which is the longest time we had ever held a front line trench.
 Tn times of great movements, either offensive or defensive, the front line men are supposed to be relieved every few days, but something must have got mixed up, because we were not relieved, but you can bet that, however tired and discouraged we were, we never let any one else know about it.
 Many times l had companions shot through the heart or head while by my side, and once, on a foray into No Man s Land, a 'whizzbang' dropped over and exploded in our midst, and when l came around sometime later I could not ind the slightest trace of my comrades of a few minutes before. They had all been blown to pieces.
 The greatest mystery of it all to me was the miraculous manner in which I escaped any injuries. I was not even scratched, except by barbed wire, during the whole time, but l once came as near to 'cashing in as l ever expect to get

On July Congress made effective an appropriation of s100. 900 for the building and maintenance of clinics throughout might be treated, regardless of the finan- cial condition of the victim. This sum was divided among the states of the union and placed in charge of the board of health of each state for distribution.
 Through applications made to the Ala bama state board of health. by Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health of ficer, and Dr. Courtney w. Shropshire, president of the medical association of Jefferson county, combined with peti- tion signed by Dr. w. R. Warde, Dr. M. Y. Dabney and other prominent phy- sicians, the government made an ap- propriation of s27o0 for a clinic in Bir- mirgham and the same amount for the building of one in Bessemer.
 NINE DEPARTMENTS
 The Birmingham clinic is situated. at Avenue F and Twentieth street, in the building formerly designated as the Uni versity clinic, but now known as the Birmingham dispensary. The dispensary is under the general supervision of Dr. Bowling and the nine departments, con- sisting of medicine, neurology, gnecology, surgery, skin, ear, nose and throat and gento-uEinary are all under the super vision of Dr. Warde, Dr. Dabney, Dr. Shropshire, Dr. B. c. Gillen and Dr. Rob- ertson, members of the staff which in- cludes 25 Birmingham specialists, who visit the dispensary at intervals during the week. It is one of the most modern equipped institutions in the city.
 Dr. B. c. Gillen is employed by the government to devote his entire time to the treatment of victims of social dis eases. Dr. A. H. Olive, superintendent at the time of the taking over of the clinic by the government, is retained in that position.
 k Situated near the entrance of the build ing is a pharmacy, equipped with all necessary medicines and the prescriptions for the patients are filled by licensed

ACROSS NO MANS LAND

"One night the c. O. came around and
 issued orders. We were to go over the next morning at daybreak, so near mid night I and 10 others were detailed to go out across No Mans Land and cut the barbed wire of the enemy We had sue cessfully accomplished our misison. and were well back towards the lines, when the Germans dropped a hugh 'fve-nine right on top of us. Of course it was just a chance shot. but it did just as much as it would have if aimed by the best gunner in thc@German army. We heard it singing over our heads and the next moment it plowed up the ground directly in front or us. There was dull roar and I remember rather vaguely seeing mud and debris flying about me, then oblivion.
 When l awoke I was in utter dark ness, and, after a few vain attemps to wriggle or move I found that I was pnioned fast and could not make the slightest motion. Imagine my predica ment. could not possibly know whether was in heaven or a German prison camp, and remained in this doubt and perplexity until I heard, very faint and muffled. the low voices of couple of stretcher bearers, searching for the wounded

Lovejoy Sees Peril
oLabOr Standards
Because of League

International labor standards which
may be established under the operation
of the Paris covenant may be imper-
illcd because certain nations are not
included in the proposed league of ma
tions, according to Owen r. Lovcjoy, of
the National Child Labor Committee.
Mr.. Lovcjoy said he approved the
proposal to intcrnatonalize restric-
tions on child labor. making fifteen
years the minimum working age and
six hours the maximum working day,
with provision for two hours school
ing day between the ages of fifteen
and eighteen. tic said. however, that
if nations of eastern Europe and the
Orient we're not included in the cove
nant they would be given an advantage
maintained high labor standards.
ain order to make such labor agree
ments effective" said Mr. Love JOY, 81
consider it imperative that such coun-
tries as Russia and the less developed
parts of the British Empire, such as
India, are brought into the agreement
so that the industries of the western
world are not compelled to compete
with the long hours. the low wages and
the unrestricted child labor of eastern
Europe and the Orient.
For this reason II for no other ]
strongly favor n worldwide league Of
nations as against the limited league
of allies proposed in the Paris cove
nAht"
OF the specific child labor restrc-
tons which 1T is proposed to intornn-
tonalize Mr.. Lovejoy said;
ut Ia very encouraging to have an
International statement recognize so
high standard. because 1t puts high
premium on education before children
go into industry | believe The stand
ard Ia one which tho nations Of tho
world ought to reach in time. But
were the international agreement with
out an agency FOR making it effective
it would not be Of very substantial
value.
"Fhe proposed restrictions involve
radical REIMBURSEMENT of our whole cdu-
cationnl machinery and more general
investment in the equipment of chill
dren for industry than any of the ma
tions have up to this time been able
to make. ] hope the proposals express
serious determination to take prac
teal steps for approaching some such
standard as rapidly as the constructive
agencies for taking care of children
can be established"

it has been deemed advisable to comply
with their wishes"
A curious feature of the letter is a
request it contains that before any
award is made public on the basis of
the new demands there be conference
between the representatives of the rail-
road administration and representatives
of the unions for the purpose of a
thorough understanding" of the award.
Want to Know Beforehand
az this is not cone" says the letter,
you can but expect a repetition Of the
situation that existed after the issu-
ance of each wage order thus far. We
are sure that if the recognized repre-
sentatives of the employees are permit
ted to have such a meeting with you
they will be IN possession of the neces-
sary information to enable them to
advise their membership as to the full
provisions of the award, thereby insur-
ing you, as our people, against the very
unpleasant expressions of protest made
by wire, letter and through newspa-
pers, none of which are for the best
interests Of the service.
matters of this kind under private
control have been handled in very
orderly manner by US and can still be
handled in the same way IT we are but
permitted to understand the exact pro-
visions Of the award. being allowed
sufficient time to advise our people
through the regular channels of their
recognized organizations of the best
course to pursue regardless of whether
or not the award is considered satisfac-
tory to them"
Details of Differcntials
With respect to the various differ
entails set forth in the new demands,
the latter asks in behalf of machnists
working on valve motion work, tool
work. rod work, heavy machinery OPP
orators, layers out, air men and Fed
eral inspection men an excess of
cents an hour above the proposed ma
chinists' rate of 80 cents an hour. Ger
tain classes of boilermakers ask also
an excess of 6 cents an hour above the
proposed boilermakers' rate. Black
smiths employed as hamme rsmiths ask
an excess of 25 cents above the black
smiths rate. Electricians employed as
armature winders likewise ask an ex-
cess of % cents above the rate for
electrical workers.
General foremen, foremen, assistant
foremen and leaders, the demands re-
quire, shall be paid on an hourly basis
and receive overtime compensation for
all services rendered in excess of eight
hours day, with q minimum rate of
81 an hour for general foremen, 50
cents for foremcn and 80 cents for as
sistant foremen, gang foremen and
leaders.
