with only theoretical knowledge.
They do know what a. hand gre
made is. it is true, but they have
very little idea of cover. and, what
is most important of all, have no eye
for it. A fold in the ground has to
be quite eighteen inches high before
they can see it.
Although we need reinforcement,
the recruits give us almost more
trouble than they are worth. They
are helpless in this grim fighting
area, they fall like flies.
The present method of fighting
from posts demands knowledge and
experience; a man must have feel
ing for the contours of the ground,
and ear for sound and character of
the shells. must be able to decide
beforehand where they will drop,
how they will burst, and how to
shelter from them.
The young recruits. of course,
know none Of these things. They
get killed simply because they hardly
can tell shrapnel from high-ex-
plosive; they are noWn down be-
cause they are listening anxiously
to the roar Of the big coal-boxes
falling far in the rear, and miss the
light, piping whistle of the low
spreading little daisy-c cutters.

so terrified that they dare not cry
out loudly, but with battered chests
and torn bellies and arms and legs
only whimper softly for their moth
ers and cease as soon as one looks
at them.
Their sharp, downy, deaf faces
have the awful expressionlessness OF
dead children.
It brings a lump into the throat
to see how they go over, and run
and fail. A man would like to spank
them, they are so stupid, and to take
them by the arm and lead them
away from here where they have no
business TO be.
They wear gray coats and trousers

on their yellow wings. What can
they be looking for here? There is

They settle on the teeth Of skull.

At night We hear again the rolling
behind the enemy lines. All day
We have only the normal shelling,

trenches. There always is plenty Of
amusement; the sirmen see to that.
There are countless fights for us to
watch every day.
Battle planes don't trouble US, but
the observation planes We hate like
the plague; they put the artillery
on TO us. A couple of minutes after
they appear, shrapnell and high
explosives begin to drop on us.
We lose eleven men in one day
that way, and five of them stretch
er-bearers. Two are so smashed
that Tiaden remarks You could
scrape them of the wall Of the
trench with a spoon and bury them

dugout full of them, with blue heads
and black lips.

SENATE TAKES
 UP FEW BILLS; HOUSE QUIET
Little Business Transacted in Legislature Ways
 and Means Meets

Tie Senate Tuesday afternoon considered three of it's measures in second reading, making minor -amendments in them ard advanc- ing them on it's calenG2- for final action today. It also had one House bill up on second reading.
 The House machine continued in low gear. No measures were in- troduced nor were any of the meas ures in committee reported out for action. The Ways and Means Committee had its first meeting of the session
 The Steer school refund amend ment, on the Senate calendar for second reading was continued for week, being made special order of business for next Tuesday This measure provides for a straight 85 per cent refund of maintenance costs to all schools in municipali- ties or incorporated school districts.
 It had been reported favorably for passage by the Senate Commit tee on Education. On the floor of the chamber, members presented estimates ranging from $90000 to $104,000 as the probable increase in cost to the Territory over the esti- mated costs as presented by Com missioner Henderson for the next two years. In view of this, with the unanimous consent of the members, the measure was carried over for one week.
 MT. Frames measure appropriat- ing $2,2O0 to continue paying for transportation of pupils within and without incorporated towns, MT. Dunn's bill for the relief of Cecelia Carey, appropriating $125, MT Sundquists bill carrying $75702 to cover a deficit in the fund for the construction of a schoolhouse at Kotzebue, and MT. Woofter's bill from the House removing the re- striction against the use of smaller than eight-point type in official printing, passed through the sec ond reading with only minor am endments.
 The Senate Judiciary Committee introduced a measure to pay Ar thur c. Thompson, Anchorage at torney, $100 for legal services rend- cred the Territory in case in the Third Division. This sum, it was pointed out, was smaller than the costs would have been had it been necessary for the Attorney General to have made the trip.
 The Ways and Means Committee of the House held short meeting in which a general discussion of revenues and estimates for expen- ditures was had. Chairman Shat tuck announced later that the com- mittee would call the several de- partment heads before it and in- vestigate their estimates for appro- priationS.

 TALKS TO LIONS

A talk by H. l.. Redlingshafer on his recently ended trip to the East was the feature of the Lions Club luncheon today at noon MT. Red- lingshafer returned to Juneau about two weeks ago after the trip made in his official capacity as Fisecal Agent for the Juneau Forest Serv- ice.
 At several of the cities where MT. Redlingshafer stopped he was called upon to make talks before clubs and other civic organizations. At Ogden, Utah, he attended the stock show in progress there. He was special guest of the Lions Club luncheon at Ogden and de- livered talk that was enlighten- ing to the members on the real Alaska conditions.
 In Chicago, the Central Office of the Lions International was visited. He told today how he was shown the recording system that keeps records of the activities of the clubs throughout the country. While there he was the guest of the Central Office at a monday luncheon. MT. Redlingshafer told the members of the impression he gained from visiting the clubs in the large cities. He said that in- stead of going out for large mem berships, most of the organizations were devoting their efforts to the smaller bodies of enthusiastic indi- viduals, who devoted themselves to the betterment of the community as a whole. This impression, MT. Redlingshafer added, he gained wherever he went. The organiza- tions on the whole are smooth, CO., operative working bodies that are accomplishing great good in their communities.
 In Chicago, MT. Redlingshafer visited his sister, Mrs. Helen Web ster. In Montana he visited his

BEHRENDS AND
 WIFE RETURN
Enjoy Trip South, then East, Coming West
 Via Panama Canal

Having been absent from Juneau over two months, B. M. Pehrends Juneau merchant and banks-, anc Mrs. Behrends, returned today or the steamer Yukon. They visited Seattle, Chicago, New York City and returning west on the Panama Pacific steamer, Mongolia, through the Panama Canal, they stopped at Havana, Panama, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
 Canal Trip Interesting The trip through the canal was tremendously interesting, and al together delightful, MT. Behrends said. The ship remained for about six hours in Havana, during which time MT. and Mrs. Behrends, and number of other passengers, took cars and drove over the country surrounding the city Others spent the time shopping in the city. "The country was lovely, tropical and colorful, it is hard to describe it. MT. Behrends said. The ship was in Panama about the same length , of time, long enough to give ev- eryone an opportunity to get about and see something of the place. At the time they were going thru the canal, the west and east coast fleets of the U. S. Navy were hay ing manuvers in that vicinity, and the place was crowded with sail ors. T saw more sailors than ever before in my life, they swarmed everywhere" he said.
 Canal Like Clockwork
 The canal itself was fascinating, and everything worked like clock work, he said. Some idea of the charges for use of it may be gathered from the fact that steam CTS the size of the Mongolia, about $40 feet long, pay the government $15,000 each way for use of the canal, or S30,000 for a round trip, MT. Behrends said
 In San Diego, where the Mon golia laid over six hours, MT. and Mrs. Behrends were surprised to be met at the boat by Miss Jessie Mock, formerly of Juneau, who with some friends drove them to Auga Caiiente, the new Mexican Monte Carlo just across the border. The hotel at the Mexican resort is large, modern and luxurious, and is very popular with Americans. In Seattle they saw MT. and Mrs. John Meals, formerly Leona Graber, of Juneau, who have a six-weeks-old baby boy.
 Week in Seattle
 They spent about week each in Seattle, Chicago, New York and San Francisco. In New York and Chicago they went to number of the most popular shows and re- views.
 Ut was a most enjoyable trip and both Mrs. Behrends and myself enjoyed it tremendously. The trip through the Panama Canal was delightful, and is one everyone
