for VTcO'KS.
Our tonCufs woro parched; our
throats wtro burning. When about
midday wo passed through a farm
yard uhorn we found a la.t remaining
drop of flirty liquid it seemed a.s if
tho wat'-r evaporated on the tongue
teforo It ever reached our throats.
Then we had bwn marched on in
terminably ho that it was almost with
a frpnso of relief that we heard the
first pound of tho guns rolling up to
meet
Tho lirinf,' frrew hotter, and wo soon
loft tho main road and turned down
a bluo lano. We. were pu:hed on at a
unart pax-o. Our faces were glowing1
from thirst and heat. The column
wa.9 enveloped in a thick cloud of dust.
I Tho tAKto of dust Instead of water was
! on our ton'UfH. The. dust was lyinr
thick as a layer of Hour on our
1 cheeks.
And we hurried on without a word.
' A quickft hede barred tho view on
either tide. Nothing but heavy foot
falls, walking pack, black, clattering
pannikins, rifles at tho slope hustlo
and dust. .
Then porno one blundered over a
ton in his way, and looked as if ho
wexj coins to fall Into tho back of tho
man In front of him. . . . but no
ihout of laughter greets it we are
pushing on almost at tho double at
times, when a sap in the hedge slips
pait. wo can catch glimpses of the line
of skirmishers advancing over open
country now at length comes a
chcok. ... Halt! Order arms! . . .
and I am scrambling through a gap
in tho hedjaro on to the open fields . . .
open order at flvo paces distance.
. . . The Ions-drawn line of Fkirmlsh
or3 advances, rifles at tho ready . . .
in front of us nothing but preen fields
In alght. In tho heart of them gleams
tho crude yellow of a field of mustard.
Ahead of us. Just opposite our front,
a dark wood . . . not a trace of tho
enemy in Fight. On our right they
have already pushed on the advance
line. On our left tho skirmishers aro
Ju.st breaking through tho hedge and
opening out to extend our lino of at
tack. Tho heavy noise In tho air Is Inces
sant. I can't pee where the aro firing,
and I can't fco what they aro firing
at. The air is heavy with iron thun
der. It closes like a ring around my
chest. I am distinctly conscious that
my chest Is reverberating like a tense
funding board
What on earth Is that?
A eound liko tho cracking of whips
from Bomewhcro or other . . . tho
Found is so sharp, fo distant, so in
termittent, as if it wcro coming from
th rlfle-rango . . .
Then rr.y side a man falls
down, falls on his rifle, and lies still,
never stirs again . . . shot through
tho head, clean, through tho brain
. . . that's what the cracking of
whips means; it's coming from over
there, out of tho wood. Somewhere
over there tho enemy's sharp-shooters
are lying and lining its edge and
opening llro on us.
What's tho next thing?
Lie down Mark distance; Cover!

Put no order comes. We push on
toward the wood undeterred, as if
these bullets did not concern us in
any way. The sharp-ehooters, fire is
not hot enough as yet; we have not,
so far, got Into sutlieiently close touch
with the enemy.
As I move forward I turn my head
ond look back. Behind me I seo new
lines of skirmishers advancing one
behind tho other supports to be
pushed forward later.
What Is that crawling along the
pround behind our line? ... there is
one here, another over there It looks

crossed tho Bed sea pursued by the

These wordu, said Ilev. Dougherty.
exnresa the fact that progress is to
be tho law of men's nffairs, that God
has improved upon them. They ex
plain the divine purpose which marks
itself In tho story of men's affairs.
We can profitably look back upon
the past only If we go there to peek
lessons for the future, said tho speak
er. Rev. Mr. Dougherty spoke of the
grreat strides forward made by modern
invention, and said that broadly
speaking any form of organ.zation
which economizes labor and produces
a given result with th least demands
upon man and material Is good.
Civilization has developed to its
present high standing through the

to rise, clutches his rifle with both
hands, and hauls himself to his feet
by his gun. And now he is spread
ing his arms out, tumbling over
backwards, and Hinging his hands
away from him, far apart . . . his
hands are still Happing up and down
on the grass. I am looking back as if
fascinated while my legs keep on ad
vancing. But suddenly something begins to
set up a ratile over there in the wood
and buzzes liko hug alarm clocks
running down.
"Lio down."
And there wo are lying down, flat
on our stomachs, as if we had already
been mowed down, for every man of
us knows what that was. They have
masked machine guns in the wood
over there; they aro opening fire on
us. I feel how my neart Is thumping
against my ribs. A machine gun is
equivalent to a company, the Old Man
once explained to us, after we had
been ehot down in heaps to tho last
man by tho maehino guns In the au
tumn maneuvers.
What's tho next thing?
Cautiously, without raising, I turn

disappeared from the aco of the
earth; they, too, have prone to cover
in the grass. Only outside the tiring
zone are they still being pushed for
ward. shall we have to retreat? Are we
going to attack?
"Rapid fire! Into tho wood!"
Yes, but what are we to fire at? Ly
ing down, there Is nothing to be seen
of the sharpshooters. They won't
do us any harm; in another minute
they will have disappeared among the
trees. But the machines they have
hidden them away among the foliage
to good purpose.

At SPRINGBROOK PARK
Wednesday, Aug;. 1 9th
The Hard Times Parade on "WOM
EN'S DAY Is Intended as good, whole
some fun for its participants. It is
the spirit of merriment and mirth; of
jollity and paity. The dress-up idea
is innate in every human. Kiddies
steal upstairs to fix up in mamma's
and papa's clothing. Grown-ups
never cease entirely to get over this
desire. It is the spirit of Carnival and
of Mardi Gras. It is tho good time
idea.
The magnifleant response made by
the mothers of South Bend and Mish-
awaka in preparing their irl3 for the
Feature Parade on Girls' Day is evi
dence of their unbounded faith and
large understanding f SipringbrooK
Park's purposes and aims. In an
nouncing the HARD TIMES PARADE
as a special feature of Women's Day
the sole idea is one of good, whole
