WIDEAWAKE POETRY
 My Fox Terrier A little demon in defense,
 Brave as lion he; I wish 1 had the courage
 Of this atom on my knee. A little universe of love,
 Unselfish as the sea; I wish did by others
 As he has done by me- A little lump of loyalty,
 No power could turn from me; I wish I had a heart as true,
 From fear and favor free. little fountain full of faith,
 Forgiveness, charity; wish I had his patience
 And true nobility. A little flash of fire and life, Whate'er the summons be; I wish that I could face the world With half his energy. A little white fox terrier. In whose brown eyes I see. The little windows of a soul Too large to live in me. Harry W. French, in the Independent.

Smoke Screen Used
The support Of the artillery was

down thick smoke screen on the left,

their onc.pounders splitting angrily,
while machine guns were established In
advanced positions along the entire,
front. This was the general plan for
obtaining superiority Of fire necessary
to make the advance. 1t was worked
out TO the second and there was no
hitch. For three hours that particular
part Of the camp was a cross section
