We pulled up to the front, and from

the Huns back over many kilometers.
1t was gruelling. To us, fell the hard

we got away from our base of sup

could catch, one day cabbage, next
day turnips and the next beets. We
went through machine guns, Smelling

terrific. Gently we were protected
from above by our planes which scat
ted around much like bird dog does
for his master, some times a boehe
plane would slip in and turn his ma
chine gun on US as we advanced. At
night, of course, we halted and dug
little fox holes that furnished a Ger.

explosives. Next morning at day
break we were off again. When we
were about all in another machine
gun outfit come and relieved us. We
trailed along behind, using the trans
ports to carry our guns. We came
into a little town the first we had
seen for two months and took cover
for the night. We were wet for it

stayed in their billets all the day be-

HOPE YOU LIKED IT

The Advocate hopes its readers
generally liked the first agriculture
issue. 1t is our hope not only to
make this monthly issue good one,
but through the cooperation of the
State and the Department of Agri-
culture, much better one than was
our first issue. We tried hard to get
illustrations in time but failed, but
have the promise of these for later
on. We believe that every citizen
will realize that what we are trying
to do for agriculture we are doing
for them, as, when we come down to
brass tacks, we are practically de-
pendent for our daily bread on the
farmer. If you liked the issue, tell
US so. If you did not, give the next
agricultural number to one of our
farmers.

PREsBYETRIANs ARE ACTIVE

Presbyterians are notably gener-
Gus givers and this year they have
decided on the sum of $3S.000,0O0
in connection with the New Era
Movement. 1t is not generally
known in this section of the wonder
full work they are doing in relieving
the terrible sufferings of the stricken
people of the near east, nor of the
dangers which they have faced from
the outrageous Turk in standing by
their flocks in the region which was
fought over by the British while they
were engaged in ejecting the Turk
from these regions. The campaign
comes on the fiftieth anniversary of
the establishment of the Missionary
Board of New York.

My Dear Sir and Friend:
l do not know you but as you are
the Editor of the Advocate, which
is edited in my native state, county

people on earth 1t is a foregone
fact that Kentucky is the grandest
state in the Union and Knox Co. is
the banner county in the state and
has produced some of the brainiest
men of the nation. Knox County
has furnished governors and high Of
ficials for other states in the Union,

that will equal any that We have had
lately that would say that the U. s.
went into this war TO whip Germany
and that she had done the work and
was not long about it. Make them
sign peace and send our boys home
and fix other things here afterward.

MANY LIVES AT SEA
SAVED BY PARAVANES

Hundreds OF American bluejackets
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships. while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas. were equipped with paravanes,
through courtesy of the British adj
miralty.
Fitted with paravanes, the war,
ships fished out many mines ahead
of the vessels Novices often mis-
took the apparatus for tOpedoes The
thing made humming sound when
adjusted to a speeding ship, owing to
friction.
The paYarane consists OF water
plane shaped like a torpedo, having
pair OF large flat fins projecting on
either side of its body. The tail is
iitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth 1t is lowed over
side by wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope is intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along till they reach the nose of the
parayanes, where sharp saw is fixed
inside V-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where it can be
either avoided or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin arrange
ment the twin pavaranes kept diagon-
ally ahead of the vessel. Naval men
say the invention did more than any
other single device to defeat Ger
many's policy of attrition.
