One night, after had been at Dix

as they are said to be.
Well, we went over this time. and
the machine guns were certainly going
It strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make 1t and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not a man of 1t
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing. too. We
two o'clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell

He would not 60 bnck for treatment
then, and when daylight came, 1t was
too late. because we were practically
cut off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
nre opened up right on us, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-five yards away. We re-
ceived bombs and shells right in our
faces. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy. and ran back over the parados.
He ran a few yards, then stopped and
looked back at US. l think he was

started back to us. Then the spot
where he had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest

shell. and absolutely cut in two. I
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one In France.
About seven O'Clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had we entered 1t. however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on US,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely. They killed numbers

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler tells
story about how an American bust.
ness man solved the bolshevist prob
lem in Petrograd, at least as it applied
to his affairs. The Columbia univer-
sity president says he has it directly
from the American concerned. Here
1t Is:
An American, head Of large firm
in Petrograd, branch of an American
business house, was sitting In his Of
fee pondering on how he could close
up the business and discharge his Rus
sian employees without causing trou'
BILE. The revolution had precluded
all chance of doing more business.
As he was thinking over this prob
lem the door opened and three OF the
employees entered.
"We have decided" said the spokes-
man, ito apply the soviet principle
to this business"
'.All right" said the manager, shat
seems to be the custom here. What
do you want me to dof"
"First, we want you to double our
wages"
"All right. Everybody would like
double wages"
"Then we want a month instead of
two weeks vacation year"
That's fine; I myself like months
vacation"
"And for the months vacation we
want the pay double again."
"Now, / never thought Of that. But
now that do It's true that on vaca.
tion it is nice to have lot Of money.
Well do that, too"
"Now that those things are decided
we must tell you that we won't need
you as manager any more"
II certainly never thought OF that.
But am responsible to the stockhold-
ers in the United States. This will
never do"
1--WE thought of that, too-about the
stockholders. So we have decided to
elect a manager and to have him sit
here with you and. tell you what to
do"
"Now, that will be fine. That's all
right, You do that"
So the manager was elected and he
occupied q desk next to the American
and told him what to do. At the end
of the first week the wages were
doubled. The soviet manager pre-
sented a memorandum to the Ameri.
can manager.
"What's this?' said the American.
''This is my bill for my salary as
manager" explained the Russian
workman.
mo, can't pay that. You see, ]
am paid by the stockholders in Amer.
lea. I am elected manager by them.
You were elected manager by the
workmen here in Petrograd. You
must be paid by them."
"Oh, no"
"Oh, yesp
The men struck at the order Of
their soviet manager.
And the American closed up the of
fees and returned to America.
His problem had been solved with.
out any disorder and with only the
loss Of an extra weeks wages.
