FIGHTING IX A TANK.
lietter Descriptive of Battle of
Messing Ridge.
In Belgium, June 10, 1917.?Dear
M:?Your letter found me in hospital
and was most delightful company,
writes Lieut. Z., of the British army,
in Scribner. My trouble is not much,
just a bullet through flesh part of
right forearm and a graze in the
side, and I am up and about and
going back to my lot in a day or two.
We were an active part in the great
drama of the 7th, and what with
the bursting mine-earthquakes and
the trempestuous bombardment, one
? 1 * A 1 **'* * ! >
was lUCKV IU ue itJLt v> im uuc ? scuoco.
I, personally, was very successful,
reaching all my objectives and getting
slaped in the blue gray devils,
Bavarins, and blazing away like a
drendnaught. Oh! The sights which
were seen! Luck, good and bad, was
with me, for my bus caught on fire in
action just where the thing was the
thickest, and I ordered the whole
crew out, with lire extinguishers, to
put it out. Out we went and got
busy. I left my crew on the sheltered
side (more or less), but my corporal,
without orders, got on top
while I went to the exposed side,
vociferously ordering the corporal
down, and we got the blaze out between
us. Meantime one if my crew
was blowed over. We got him back
inside and later he came to and is
recovering. Where I was the bullets
were spattering around me and hitting
old "Squash 'em Flat" and
slashing me with fire sprays of broken
metal, and there it was I got my
trifling wound and scratches, but it
was only bad Bavarian shooting that
kept me and my corporal (who was
unt9uched) from being turned into
hhman sieves. After that, we carried
on, and as I had finished my job to
the last letter, we came on home and'
I brought the old thing back safely.]
When home I had the arm dressed at j
the most advanced place and the bits j
of bullet casting in there pulled put
and, as it seemed so trifling, I put
on my coat and carried on as before.
. _ The next morning by brigadier ?came
to my sleeping palace, in person, and
indignantly asked me if I were going
about with a bullet in my arm,
and I as indignantly denied it, but
he ordered me to the hospital to be
luuuuiaieu iui auiuciauiuc, paucu
my back, shook my sore arm, and
said we had done the best show of
our lot the whole day.
Punishing Traitors.
1 It .is very gratifying to know that
the government is going after its enemies
at home and abroad. It will
soon be unfashionable as well as dangerous-in
South Carolina to talk or
print treasonable matter. Uncle Sam
is not going to discriminate in favor
of any rascal or traitor, and Judge
Smith seems to be peculiarly well
qualified to administer justice?evenhanded
justice?adequate and swift,
to those who have violated the law
against the United States. We hope
Judge Johnson will follow the example
of Judge Smith when he goes
$o deal with the scoundrels who are
guilty of sedition and treason in his
district. Those who are not in sympathy
with this war must, nevertheless,
be made to realize that they
must keep their mouths shut and
their pens still.?York News.

Horrors! No!
"I wish that chickens were built

gourmand, gnawing a drumstick.
