This week's story from the front:
A certain company sergeant major
was not popular with his men. They
accused him of having cold feet.
One day the company went into a
rest camp 20 miles behind the firing
line, a here it was an impossibility any
shells could reach them. The ground,
however, >as very wuterlogged, and a
fatigue party was detailed to dig a
dialnnge trench.
rresenuy a sergeant nappeneu. 10
pass that way.
"What are you digging there?" he
shouted to the corporal in charge of
the job.
A grimy face, from which the sweat
was pouring, popped up from the
trench. It belonged to one of the sergeant
major's most persistent and relentless
adversaries.
"Dlggin* a communication trench
from the sergeants' mess to the sergeant
major's dugout," he shouted, la a
voice well within hearing of the mess
teat, at the entrance to which the N.
0. O. In question was standing.?Peareon's

POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY
German Government at lt% Wit's End
to Stop Thievery From the
Goode In Transit.
Extraordinary steps have been taken
by the German government to call a
bait to the thieves within the postal
system. It was claimed that ont of
ten parcels sent three would disappear.
Packages to soldiers at the
front containing food, delicacies and
clothing would disappear more frequently
than any other shipments. All
appeals to the patriotic spirit of the
thieves were of no avail. The per
centage of thefts Increased steadily.
Finally the government was compelled
to take drastic ahd systematic measures.
The military branch was called
la and stations of control manned by
non-commissioned officers and soldiers
wore planted at principal railroad
points in the empire. The employment
of mere youths Is blamed for
the deterioration of the postal service.
Practically all the employees of military
age had to join the army and
their places were tilled by boys and
girls. Besides, the scarcity of food
tempts many to steal.

a hotel and there is the "corner"

Wh-?ri war was declared it gave its
sons with a glad heart, and they
marched away bravely?many with a 1
sob in the throat, perhaps, but with "
a splendid vision guiding their feet.
From the training camp these boys 1
went to France and were moved up <
into the battle line. The Hun was
making a desperate effort to destroy <
civilisation in a bloody drive on Paris. 1
Then? i
The richest B\an in the village met ]
the hotel barber and they gripped t
hands in silence. Their two sons lay
dead in the Argonne.
The village butcher boy?red-haad- 1
ed and Irish?smiled for the last time. 1
He died fighting that freedom might
not perish. The town's Bean Brum- (
met?he had never am own ted to

who lived in the little green cottage.

?"John was all I had. I hoped be
would come back. Tf T had two sons
I would give them too." That waa all. ^
But? '
America as a whole never felt the '

"One boy I shall always remember
