some commands, and four Of the SEN

barbed wire fence. There they tied
me, face to the fence, arms over my
head and hands and feet dashed to
the wire. and with rope around my
waist, too. I thought, then, that my
bunch had come true, and that
would be crucifed, like Murray and
Brown.
They posted sentry there in add.

time he walked past me he would kick
me or spit on me, or do both.
One time he kicked me so hard

one I can see with-and when the
blood ran into my eye it blinded me
I thought both eyes were gone then

With The Red Cross

Enthusiastic appreciation accom- panies the information regarding the definite disposition of Red Cross Christmas cartons that is arriving at Pacific Division Headquarters, Amer ican Red Cross. The reports from camps and hospitals in all parts of the Division show that over 11,OOO sol dlers, sailors, marines, doctors, nurses, and assistants were made happy on Christmas day, in addition to those who enjoyed gifts and entertainment abroad.
 A Rest Club designed to provide accommodations at minimum cost for American casual officers on leave or passing through Paris has been es- tablished in that city by the American Red Cross. Every effort is made to create a typical American home at mosphere.
 Special commission which shall confer with American Red Cross au- thorities in Siberia, serving as the necessary connecting link between them and headquarters at Washing ton, has been appointed by Henry P. Davidson and is now en route for the northern country.
 The commission is headed by Major George w. Simmons of St. Louis, Manager of the Southwestern Divi- sion. Other members are Major F. Kendall Emerson, a physician; Cap tain Charles Mcdonald, expert accoun- tant and organizer; and Lieutenant Roy McFarlan, private secretary to Major Simmons.
 Their principal duty shall be to make suggestions as to the proper dis position of American Red Cross funds appropriated for the needs of the Czecho-Slavs and Russians, who have been suffering for want of medical supplies and attendance.
 The Hawaiin Chapter has contribu- ted a monthly shipment averaging 36 cases of supplies to the great tide of Red Cross relief ever since the Uni ted States entered the war.

THE OLD MINER
By BertOn BraIey

l Dy DcTIOu DTdley Qn Engineering and Mining JournaD I'm bit too old for fightin', but when
 workin' on my shift, As my noisy drill is bitin' at the ore
 seam in the drift, I feel kind of like a soldier, and it
 seems this shakin' drill Is a trusty young machine gun that is shootin' with a will And l sight along it's piston like a gunner in the line, And guess it sort of thrills me when I run this drill of mine; For it's maxim holes for powder that
 will shoot the copper free To be used to make munitions
 for the cause of Liberty. I would like to shoot a Lewis or a Browning gun in France, But I'm dim-eyed and rheumatic, and
 I'll never have the chance. Yet l find some consolation when I
 fancy this machine Is a snappy new machine gun that is
 drillin' Teutons clean; l can think I'm right in battle as I
 hear its ringin' bark And imagine every bullet that I'm
 sendin' hits the mark. And although that's all vision, and
 it's goes and leaves me flat, 1 can still feel like soldier as the
 drill sings, "Rat-a-tatw For I'm minin' the material that goes
 to feed the guns With shells an rifle cartridges to land
 among the Huns; So I'll call myself fighter while the
 air drills bark and drum, For I'm helpin' send the Kaiser and
 his gang to Kingdom Come!
 HE DID! Now he can help civili- zation just as much by sticking to his drill while the allies repair the waste that the Huns war has caused-(Ed- itor.)

Prophet Thinks That Cold Weather

L. s. Sargent, Junction City, KAN,
has made his annual "~goosebone'
weather prophecy. 1t calls for a steady
winter, UNMARRIED by periods of milder
weather, and the low temperature will
last well into the spring. The breast
bone of the goose is used In casting
the weather, the amount and location
of the dark coloring matter indicating
the period when winter weather may
be expected. Mr.. Sargent has been
keeping the g%oosebone weather records
for more than 30 years and claims for
the goosebone a batting average of
1000 ms n weather forecaster.

The Knights of Columbus have

Officers in Charge.
Some of the most difficult tasks con-
nected with the return of the soldiers
have been those of Major Gen.
Shanks. In command of the port of
e~mbarkation Brig. Gen. McManus, d.
rector Of troop movements, and Vice
Admiral Gleaves.
The service of Gen. Shanks has en-
braced the period of heaviest troop
departures from Hoboken, which was
the most important port of embarka-
ton in America and which sent a
large bulk Of the record number of
100000 troops In one month when
troops We're badly needed at the
front.
IL was the work of Gen. Shanks to
see to Ii that there were sufficient
transports for the soldiers, plentiful
accommodations and utmost secrecy of
departure. In one night, In the record
month, half n dozen large transports
stole out of The Hoboken piers, load
ed to capacity with soldiers, and no
inkling of IL reached the public.
Ii was the job of Admiral Gleaves
to make certain that the seas were
bridged with conveys so that no mis-
hap should occur to the transports
Gen. Shanks sped away. That he did
his work satisfactorily is attested by
his promotion a few weeks ago from
G a admiral TO vice admiral. Not a
transport was lost on a Europe-bound
trip.
Gen. McManus was In command of
the port of embarkation for three
months, while Gen. Shanks was sent
to command Camp Kearny, California.
Gen. McManus now resumes his posi-
ton as director of troop movements.
When men arrive at Manhattan or Ho-
boken or Brooklyn. Gen. McManus de
cides whether they shall be sent to
Camp Mills, Camp Merritt or else
where.
The STATS of these officers have
been working long hours every day
and many hours of the night handling
the returning troops. Though here
and there difficulties have arisen
through misunderstanding of privates
or minor officers still infused with the
rigidity of wartime regulations, these
difficulties have been smoothed out by
the commanding officers, and the mat
ter of meeting and greeting and han
ding the returning troops has been
done in the smoothest possible manner.
