rS By MISS KATHLEEN BURKE.
 GA grnud-niece of Edmond Burke, the great Irish orator and Parliameutar- hn.)
 It was tho adventure of 1t all that appealed ito me. I did not mind the danger so long as I could have tho thrill, and feel that I was doing some- thing really useful for the men who were rfslSins their lives daily to make Europe safe for Democracy. At Virny Ridge. where was under fire while the Canadians were attacking a pos ition which the Germans deemed i'm pregnsbie, I had no time to think of the danger.
 I was too busy attending to the wounded who were streaming back. and even when the enemy put over their barraGe. which was bad enough while ft lasted, l could not find time to ''EetS the wind up'' though I must admit that T felt a bit nervous. What I felt more than anything elso was admiration. for these wonderful men, who did not seem to mind anything. They just went into the barrage as though 1t didn't matter, and had broken through the strongest of the enemy defenoes in less time than it talCes to describe 1t.
 Wounds and death were as nothing Ip lAAeSe Hltils HlocNAy Ol Irish and Scotch descent It was mag nificeut to see them attack, and moro magnificent to see tho cheery style in which the wounded came back. Moro thzLn anything elso 1t helped to bring home to- on tho grandeur of tho human mind in rising above any thing.
 have been gassed. That happen ed last year. Dear Valenciennes. It is a terrible experience to go through, but at least it helps one to understand something of what hundreds of our brave men endured at the hands of the enemy. It helped to increase my. ad- rniration for those splendid fellows who were going through it all with out a whine during those-terrible days of strife. The sensations of choking that accompany Gassing are terrible fin tho extreme, but I thfn1r it ig most terrible of all when one is wounded as well as Eassed.
 IL was at Verdun. in tho terrible battle of 1916. that T was wounded. I shalt never forget That experience. The Germans really made their su- rSreme effort in. front, of verdun, and tho bettIes that ragged were tho fYerc- est of any knew. We aH felt that 1t was tho supreme test, and l. know tho men braoed themselves to endure to tho end. because they foit that if they endured this. victory would be their reward

 I was just behind tho front line when had my own expericnce of what ft is to be wounded. was struck by a fragment of shrapne1, and lost aIlS usciousnesssbcyond tho sbil- Iity to rea1fzo that vas still in an exposed position. I remember clearly enough lying fin fhe open exposed to heavy fire. and wondering how soon would be relieved from my agony. In that period saw something of the real grandeur of the French .sol- dler-his patient suffering. and the strength within him of the will to conquer, It was ahen I realized as I had newer done before that France had an uneonaaarahIs soul, proof against the rain of blood and iron.
 The fiaal defeat of Germany was made manifest in that supreme test

Aroused by governmental decree

sources in Colombia, the Senate for

the pending Colombian treaty until
some definite assurance has been CIV
en- for the protection OF American in

The decree, copy of which was
laid before the committee by the
State Department, invokes a govern

that all mining properties in Co.

simple" ana proceeds to set UP an In

committee members at yesterday 8
meeting expressed fear that the de:
cree might develop confscation OF
foreign property parallelinE the condi-
tions in Mexico, which have been the
subject OF SO much complaint by
American investors. A subcommittee
was appointed, headed by Senator
Fall, republican, New Mexico. to take
the situation under advisement.
It is thought likely an amendment
or reservation to the treaty will be
formulated by the subcommittee un-
til American interests are guaranteed

u s. ARMY MUST GUARD
PRISONERS IN FRANCE
Council Decides Captives Cannot Be
Released Until Three Powers
Ratify Treaty.

PARIS. August 8 (by the Associ-
ated Press).-The disposition of
prisoners held by American forces In
France was discussed today by the
supreme council OF the peace confer
ence, and it was decided that it was
impossible to release such prisoners
until three. powers have ratified the
treaty with. Germany. 1t will be
necessary, therefore,: for the United
states to cooperate with France in
guarding the prisoners. ana this will
probably make 1t necessary to retain
some American soldiers in France.
During the meeting the council
took up the assistance which allied
armies will be called upon to give
in connection with the restoration Of
French battlefelds with German
labor. It was decided that the vari-
GUS armies will detail specialists to
assist in devisff1g the best means of
handling problems which will arise.

But when 1t becomes necessary to

Sense a New Condition.

at is for this reason that EMPLOYERS
are trying to effect a maximum wage
for a certain definite period SO that
the true extent Of this potential build
Ing material demand may be realized.
Building interests sense a new con-
dftion arising in the construction In
dustry over a large part Of the coun-
try. It concerns building material
supply, labor supply and transpofta-
ton facilities.
Something about the magnitude OF
building material demand Is already
known. Skilled labor supply is a set
tied factor, but unskilled labor supply
Is one filled with much foreboding
by manufacturers everywhere. The
problem is q hard one
because Of the fnadequacy Of the rail-
roads to handle an abnormal move
ment OF finished building materials or
the raw material now necessary to
bring from greater distances. In this
meantime people want to proceed
with their building plans. Building
materials cannot be produced to any
extent in winter and the summer has
not permitted much Of q supply to be
laid in. But the more anxious people
are to get their building work started
the less anxious are Contractors to
make estimates while the labor wage
situation is 90 uncertain. The chief
requirement OF the construction mar
ket. therefore, IL to bring about as
much stabiliSation in the wage Of Ia
Dor as there has developed in the
building material market.
