TIE story of the activities of Ber-

many times, but perhaps the most
outstanding part of his career was the
storm of protest the South raised over

purely patriotic standpoint, to place
labor as unit behind the American
government in the prosecution Of the
war. Gompers did it, and his trouble
did not come from the federation. of
which he has so long been the spokes-
man, but from a few of the more rad-
cal labor groups not members Of the
federation. But Mir. Gompers is
man of rare tact and diplomat of
great prowess. With Characteristic
determination this little giant stood
out against his bitterest opponents and
landed American labor where it be-
longed.

had won reputation for his ability

Some are bankers and some bag

Senators and Representatives,
speaking for themselves, have all
had hand in the making of this
latest effusion from the presses of
the United States Printing Office.
Each one has told about himself, in
MS own way.

nave known that the lowly Ford

nad the opportunity to state the
TACT over his own name? But such
Is the truth. Representative Lucian

IONS Of trust. E. +. Spencer, Of

MOVEMENT STARTED
TO RAISE N TO
REBUILD POZIERES

Melbourne, Feb. 10.-The visit here
of General Paul Pau and the French
War Mission which he headed has
resulted in a movement OF raise funds
in Australia to rebuild the French
village of Pozieres. It was at this
place that Australian troops were
first engaged upon a large scale on
the western front and it is said that
more Of Australia's sons lie there
than anywhere else OF French soil.
General Pau charged himself while
here with the formation in France Of
a permanent committee to identify,
preserve and adorn the graves Of
Australian soldiers in France
The mission has inquired into the
possibilities Of trade between France
and Australia and also endeavored to
discover whether Australia could
provide any methods which might be
applied in the sociological RECONSTRUCT
ton Of France. About the time Cen
eral Pau left for France by way of
New Zealand. two Socialist members
of the French Mission, Paul Thomp-
son and Adolph Hoise. who were de-
layed, arrived at Sydney bringing
greetings from the French Socialists
and to investigate Australian social
legislation.

"~Bzz-bzz-bzz," went the field tele-
phone in headquarters hut. -
The orderly called the machine
gun officer. From the conversation,
it appeared that the water in the
cooling chambers OF the "emma-gees'
(the soldiers pet name for machine
guns) in the front line had frozen
and that the recoil would not work.
Because there was no. alcohol or
glycerine handy, rum had been mix
ed as an anti-freezing fluid, with the
water in the cooling chambers. The
officer said he would send down some
new guns. He. went out to find that
every gun in the place was in the
same fix. A long row of them was
brought inside the hut and stacked
near the stove to thaw out.
Hereafter" ordered the machine
gun officer. "sleep with the guns.
Wrap them up in the same blankets
with yourselves" +,
Meanwhile, someone filled up the
stove to hasten the thawing out proc
ess Of the guns nearby. The hut got
SO hot, that an officer turned and
tossed nervously in his sleep. Then
a soldier rushed in to shout that the
hut had been set on fire from the
overheated chimney.
All turned out in the snow to empty
canteens-the only unfrozen water at
hand-on the ROOF, to extinguish the
fire.
Then the officers went back into
the hut to shiver, for in saving the
hut, the fire in the stove had been ex-
tinguiShed.
