"Officer of the day.** The "rookie" sentry was doubtful, ni and he decided to test the Intruder. V "Well, If you're the officer of the !i day, what's the number of my post?" he asked.

Store* of Ammunition Are Hard tc Locate and Are Always Well Guarded. Behind the British Lines In France, ?The British nviatldn communique frequently contains a brief line to record that "direct hits were obtained tpnn an enemy dump" at some point behind the German lines. This colorless announcement may seem to the reader in America nothing more than the record of a dull piece of routine, but the deed itself is different from its record. A British airman, Lieut. W. A. Barnes, has given the Associated Press he following account of a recent r?8nlnute raid on n German dump uncharacteristic of this form of activity: "On this particular night there was lot enough moonlight for a long raid, :n the target given us was a German minunition dump. "Dumps are l?y no means easy tarets to find at night, for they are seliorh situated near any definite lundinrks and are usually well camnuaged. By the study of maps and pho[>graphs. however, we had pretty well icatod the position of this one, and lurted out on the raid with high hopes f success. "We flow almost due east from the rdroine. At the end of the r>0 inintes we could just make out the outne of sheds. This was good, but we t out a parachute tlare to light up the round, and make sure we were over ie target. This promptly dispelled all oubts, for the llun searchlights ]m-ih'u (j(i in uutT, aiiu a nail in mabine gun bullets leaped up from the round. Anti-aircraft guns had been ring for some time, but the shells .ere bursting well above us, and givtig no trouble. "The parachute flare proved a real riend, because both searchlights and iiaclnne guns concentrated upon it, living us just sufficient time to dive wiflly, release our bombs, switch on he engine and start climbing. "When we turned to observe results ve witnessed the finest fireworks dis day I ever saw. Ammunition was racking off nt record speed, dense loads of smoke were rising and high y-colored flames were leaping a hun Ired feet and more from the ground. "We watched this pleasing exhihi tion for some minutes, until the cougl :>f an 'Archie* burst near by to remim us that we were still over Ilunland and so turned and steered for home. "The whole Job occupied T>8 minutes but it must have cost (iertnany hun ili< ds of man power hours in inuni tions works." ! ++++*! ? <!" | PASTOR DISPLAYS SIGN J 'TO HELL WITH KAISER' ; * 4* fx m Air a i.n ?

She Is rather wee and very winning. Her eyes repeat the blue cm her Y. ' W. C. A. uniform that carries the insignia of her service. Her hair, grey for all the shortness of her span ' of years, frames a face *A>rn, not thin, but fine with a suffering that Is more than merely vicarious. She has lived in the shadows, has stood by while the thrns were pressed down above tortured eyes, has held the hands of those who knelt In their ^ Gethsemane. In a very literal and unrestricted sehse, "She hath done what she could" for these who overseas endure what we, sheltered and safe, read ' about. She is to tell her story In all ' cities of our Southeastern Department as a National speaker for the Y. W. C. A. during the United War "Work 1 Campaign to raise $250,000,000 during the week of November 11. At the recent United War Work Convention in Jackson, she was wanted ( for a speech in the main convention hall while she was busy with commlt| tee work elsewhere. Several effarts i were made to find h??r tha lagged. Presently Gypsy Smith was missed out of a front seat; soon after ! he returned leading her up the aisle. ' At the foot of the rostrum he gathered up with a sweeping gesture R. H. King, J. M. Clinton, Capt. George 8. Dingle and O. W. Buschgen. As the ! audience rose to Its feet at sight of "Our Katie" the five men, like prank' lsh school boys, made a crescent back1 ground for the one small woman, vyhUe from five throats?bass, tenor and baritone?rolled the lilting strains of "Katie." To Katie Boyd George Mississippi i women own tne tact that today the I name of their grand old commonwealth is on the map of national and international service. Shall all women by concert of effort, and sacrifice honor her splendid achie*.'ment? We owe her a special Bort of allegiance?a fealty of duty, of tradition and affection. When she speaks one hears again the vibrant voice of her grandfather, J. Z. George, as in legislative halls (luring trying days of reconstruction, he helped to mould the destiny of our generation, her forebear's indomitable spirit rings in her voice, emanates from her small supple frame, .calls to you from her steady eyes.
