Tommy Kehoe, sixteen-year-old
English boy, tells how he got his first
Hun" Not hundred feet away they
were when our lads were jumping to
the parapet to meet them with their
bayonets. | made a leap for the top
of the ladder, grabbed at it, missed
and slipped back. Somebody reached

Almost on MS they were. oh. never
in my worst dreams-and I've had
many bad one since then-have
seen a more dreadful sight than that.
They came at us out of the dark like
fiends from another world, like the
pictures I've seen of men from Mars,
for their heads were covered with the
most evil looking masks that anybody
could imagine, masks with huge round
eyes and long, piggish SHOUTS. Shells
were bursting above them. machine
guns were tearing through their ranks
and their masks We're white and gliast-
ly in the light Of the rockets. Many
time had thought of what war would
be like. but never had | thought |

with my bayonet ready for them.

who had made good against even those
giant Prussians. Size didn't count be-

then it was all over with me.
Even then, when they were almost
up to us, how the guns were moving
them down! 1t looked as If none could
be left in moment or two. But those
that didn't fall came on like madmen
and poured through the lanes where
the big guns had leveied our wires.

over my shoulder. He staggered and

America,a Mineral nssources.

Mineral production in the United
States now reaches grand total of
81, 900, O00, 900 year, according to sta
tistics gathered by Wall Street Jour
~. No other country Of the world
mqkes anything like so large contri-
button to its mineral wealth. The d.
rector of the geological survey re-
minds Us that this country mines 40
per cent of the worlds output of coal
ard IS per cent OF the petroleum. OF
the more essential metals 40 per cent
OF the worlds production of iron ore
comes from American mines. Our
smelters furnish IS per cent Of the
copper and at least SIS per cent Of its
lead and zinc. In no respect VIII the

vantage to the United States than by

TRENTON, GA, VISITED
BY DISASTROUS FIRE
LITTLE CITY ON A. q. s.
SUSTAINS HEAVY LOSS.
Postoffice, Hotel and Depot
Among Buildings Burned by
Fire of Unknown Origin.

Trenton, Ga, July 26.-(Special.)-
An early morning fire which broke
out at $3.50 o'clock this morning al
most wiped out the business section
of this little town.
The fire started In Robert Wool
bright's blacksmith shop and spread
rapidly to adjoining buildings, de-
stroying w. II. Brooks garage and
two Ford cars and a Ford truck;
then to the postoff1ce. which was
burned, together with all records and
mail, with the exception of one
money order book.
The Case house of twenty Ave
rooms. the only hotel in the town,
was completely destroyed. Mcbride
Bros. had a general store on the first
floor of this building. They estimate
their loss at $4,000. They saved about
81, 900 worth of goods before the fire
reached the store. Mcbride Bros.
carried no insurance. The hotel
building was owned by I. II. Wheeler
and was valued at $4,000, with no in
surance.
The A. G. S. depot was next to
burn. This was an old building of
uncertain value; most Of the freight
was saved.
A vacant storehouse belonging to
Mcbride Bros. near the depot was
burned. There was $400 insurance
on this structure, the only amount
carried by any of the losers. This
building was valued at $1,000.
| r. s. Rogers handsome residence
was for awhile menaced, but volun-
teers saved 1t with only slight dam
age.
The telephone and telegraph lines
were both put out of commission for
awhile, but as soon as the fire was
under control the damage was re-
wired
