APRIL 25, 1918 No. 50 Some Lessons in Conservation mina these strenuous times, when we are coompell,,d to piece our together and avail ourselves of oplportunities that are ours, we havet ,,to point to the foIlowing paragraphs as convincing evidtnce of what be done in cases of emergency: A way has been discovered in England to use horse-chestnuts in pIlac,, dlble cereals in making explosives. The boys were asked to gather thye 1 sad send them to designated places. The result was that they col hI forty-three hundred tons, which, it is estimated, will save wheat to make three and three-quarters million two-pound loaves of bread. Tls Incident is a tine example of what can be accomplished by a great OW of persons each of whom contributes something, if only a trifle. Saoestion that nuts should be collected was not made until the late ht the boys in seventy counties of England, Scotland and Wales took o work. And the incident also shows how important the help of the can be made in backing up their fathers and brothers on the battle In no previous war has there been anything like the present need all the energies of the people left at home be organized and applied to ,ow those on the fighting line. All the nations are doing their utmost g iae completely their man power. Some of the countries have also I heavily on woman power. The incident of the horse-chestnuts gs what use can be made of the boy power out of school hours. BI you realize how much food can be raised in the home gardens of the d g entry? Last year, the average garden cavered one-tenth of an SAl the average yield was 636 pounds. There are at least 3.000,000 ng, sot farmers, in this country, and if each one would plant an aver p~ae, the railroads would be relieved of carrying 160.000 carloads of WOW, that number of cars would be released to carry food, munitions ppiles for our fighting men and the people in the war zone. The sdaion problem cannot be simple in war time. Any effort to re 0 * railroads is war service.

Then came the Scripture lesson (five verses), upon which p-gmated for seven minutes. After a few songs he called for vol plers.

The bicycles lying in the road indi cated that the bicycle division was in the fight at this point. How strong the enemy was we did not know as we raced toward the firing line. Every body crouched down as low as possi ble while junulin to the right and left. Before and behind us the bullcets were flying continuously, yet we reached the firing line without losses. We were greeted joyously by our hard pressed comrades. The bicycle regi ment had not suffered any losses ex cept for a few slightly wounded men who were still able to take part in the fight. We were lying fiat on the ground and firing in the direction ordered for all we were worth, even though we had not seen our enemies. That was apparently not interesting enough to some of our soldiers. They wanted to know how the people were looking whom they had to shoot at. They got up to a kneeling position. Two men of my company had to pay for their curi osity with their lives almost instantly. The first victim of our party went down without a sound. The second threw his arms high in the air and fell on his back. Both were dead in stantly. It is impossible for me to describe the feeling that overcame me in the frst real volley as we advanced and came directly within the range of the fire. I no longer felt any fright, only an impulse to get into action as quick ly as possible. Yet at the sight of the first corpse a terrible fear seized me. For minutes I was completely stunned, lost all self-control and was absolute ly anable to think or do anything. I pressed my face and hands close to the ground. I wanted to clutch my gun and shoot blindly. Presently I calmed down. I suddenly became con tented with myself and conditions about me and when soon afterward the command was sounded alng the whole line, "Spring outi" 'Torward march l" I charged as did everyone else like one possessed. The order to halt followed. Like wet bags we plumped to the ground. Firing had be gun anew. Our firing now became more lively momentarily and increased to a fear ful loudness. If we had occasion to say anything to our comrades we had to shout so loudly In their ears that it hurt our throats. Under the efect of our fire the ene my grew restless, the fire weakened and his line wavered. As only 500 meters separated us from them we could observe emaetly what happened there. We saw about half the enemy retire in the following manner: Every other man quit the line, leaving his al ternate in his place. Those remaining held on until the retiring party halted. We sed this mome" to inflict the most severe loeses on the retreating enemy. As far as we could scan the horizon to the right and left we saw the Germans advancing in several see tors. Also for our detachments the order came to advene as the enemy retreated. The task of elinging to the heels of the retiring enemy so tenaciously that no time would be allowed to make a new stand fell to us. We followed the Belgians, scarcely stopping to breathe on the way, in order to pre vent their fortifying themselves in a village situated just ahead. We knew that a bloody house-to-house fight lay before us, yet the Belgians never at tempted to establish themselves, but managed to escape with astonishing cleverness. In the meantime we received re-e forcements. Our company was now pretty well scattered and fought with whatever unit was nearby. The body I joined had to remain in the village to search systematically for scattered soldiers. From this village we saw that the Germans had gained on all sides. Field artillery, machine gun detachments and other equipment ar rived and we were all astonished at their coming so quickly. But there was no time to be spent in speculation. With fixed bayonets we went from house to house, door to door, and while the results were negl giblhie because we found no soldiers we did not come out quite empty-handed. We made the inhabitants deliver all guns and munitions and so forth In their possession. The mayor, accom panylng the soldiers, explained to every citizen that all found with arms after the search would be punished according to the rules of war and German rules of war In Belgium meant execution. An hour might have passed when we were again aroused by the soend of artillery and gonfire. A new battle had begun. Whether the artillerp was busy on both sides could not be judged from our village. The bombardment was tremendous. The ground shook from the growling and moaning that rolled backward and forward, always seeminga to become stronger. The ambalance columns now brought in the first wounded. Cour. lers sped by us. War had set tin in all its phases. Darkness came over us before we had finished our house-to-hoase search. We dragged all the mattresses, straw esacks and feather beds that we could lay our hands on, to the community school and church to care for the wounded. They were made as com fortable as possible. From other sur rounding villages now came the first fugitives. They may have been march ing, for they looked tired and utterly exhausted. Women, old men and children were huddled together in one mass. They had saved nothing except their bare lives. In baby buggies or on wheel. barrows these unfortunates carried whatever the rude force of war had To Put In Her Coffee. A physician in a Southern state r celved the following note: "My wife has lost her recompense for me. She are giving her distributions to another man. I want you to send me some thing to put in her coffee and make her malgulfy herself to me agai, If ye please." This is a clear ease of putting up a hard job to the dseter,-3ew Or. lea ut, left them. In contrast to the fuzitives., whom we, had lmet before. the-se w.re :xtreinely frightenl.,, a'ppearing to be in mortal terror of their enemyllll. When ever they loo,ked upon one of us Ger man soldiers they cringl in tirror. Sllow different these w ere frto the Inhabitants of the villa go \ hre, we blad first stiopped. who haul iit u-' in i friendly, even poltet n nell r. We :rited to learn the cause of thLt friht Ind discovered that the fugitives ha(! witnessed in their village hitter street ighting. They had become ucqualinted with wair-had seen their hlouses Burning, had seen their little prioperty Jestr,oye, and could not forget the I lht of thir streets tilled with corpses It dawned upon us that not merely fear gave thes people tlhi uitlppe;ance, if hunted aniiils; there was also hatred to ard the invaders wiho had fIllen upon them aril diriven theli from their homsli by night. In the evening we depart.d and tried to reach our own regiment. The Belgians had concentrated sometihire to the rear under cover of darkness. We were quite near the neighborhood of the fortified city of Liege. Many settlements through which we passed stood in flhimes; the Inhabitants driven out, passed us in droves. VWonen, childlren and old men were buffeted about and seemed to be everywhere in the way. Without aims or plans, with out a place on which to lay their heads these poor people dragged themselves by. Again we reached a village, which to all appearances had been inhabited by contented people. Now indeed nothing but ruins could be seen. Wrecked houses and farms, dead so! diers, German and Belgian. and among them many civilians, who had been shot by military order. Toward midnight we reached the German lines. The Germans had tried to take a village which lay with in the fortified belt of Liege and was defended tenaciously by the Belgians. Here all forces had to be used in or der to drive the enemy out, house by house and street by street. It was not very dark yet, so that we had to wit ness with all of our senses the terrible fights which developed here. It was a man-to-man fight. With the butts of our guns, knives, fists, teeth we went against the enemy. One of my best friends fought with a giant Belgian. The guns of both had fallen to the ground. They hammered one another with fists. I had just closed an account with a twenty-two year-old Belgian and was going to as sist my friend because his antagonist was of superior strength. My friend succeeded suddenly in biting the Bel gian on the chin so deeply that he tore a piece of flesh out with his teeth. The Belgian's pain must have been terri ble. He released my comrade and ran away with an insane cry of pain. Everything developed by seconds The blood of the Belgian ran out of my friend's mouth; a terrible nausea and indescribable loathing seized him. The taste of warm human blood brought him almost to the verge of in sanity. In the course of this night battle I came in contact for the first time with the butt of a Belgian gun. During a hand-to-hand fight with a Belgian, a second enemy soldier struck me on the back of the head with the butt of his gun so hard that my helmet was forced down over my ears. The pain was fearful and I fainted. When I revived, I was lying in a barn, with my head bandaged, among other woutided men. My wound was not severe. I only had a feeling as if my head was twice its normal size. The other wounded soldiers and the ambulance men said the Belgians had been forced back within the forts and that hard fighting was still in prog ress. Wounded men were brought in con tinuously and they told as that the Germans had already stormed several forts and had taken a number of main and auxiliary defenses, but could not hold them because they had not been. smuiciently supported by artillery. The defenses inside the forts and their gar risons were still intact. The situatlon. was not ripe for a storming attack, so the Germans had to retire with enor mous lesses. The reports we receive. were contradictory. It was impossible to get a clear picture. In the mean time the artillery bombardment had becom/e so Intense that it horrified even the German soldiers. The heavi est artillery was brought into action against the steel and concrete de fenses. No soldider so far knew anything of the existence of the 42-centimeter mor tars. Long after Llege was nla Ger man hands these soldiers could not understand how it was possible that the defenses, which consisted of dou ble six-meter walls of steel and con crete, were reduced after only a few hours' bombardment. I myself could not take part in these operatlons, being wounded, but my comrades told me later how the cap tare of the several forts came about. Artillery of all caliber was trained on the forts, but it was the 21-centimeter mortars and the 42s which performed the real work. From a distance the 42-centimeter proJectiles were heard to arrive, to the accompaniment of a fearful hissing that sounded like a long drawn-out screech which filled the whole at mosphere. Wherever it fell, every thing was destroyed within a radius of several hundred meters. The air pressure which the bursting of the pro lectile produced was so terrible that it made breathing difficult for those of us who were holding the advanced po sitions. To make this witches' holiday com plete. the Zeppelins appeared during Early Famines in Ruasi.l One of the earliest famines in RsI sia of which there is any definite ree ord was that of 1680, which continued for three years, with a death toll of 500,000 peasamnts. Cats, dogs, and rats were eaten; the strong overcame the weak, and in the shambles of the publie markets human eh wua sold. Multitudes of the dead were fomd wti thir leIths l shlt with Lsraw. the night to participate in the work at Sestructldn. The soldiers suddenly heard above their heads the, whirling 3f propellers and the ntise of the mo tors. The Zeppelins came nearer. They were inot dlscrvered by the ene amy until they were close to the forts, which immediately Ilayed all the Played the Searchlight on Them. searchlights at their disposal on them, hunting the rnnmament for the flying foe. The whirling of the propellers of the airships stopped suddenly. In stead, high In the air a brilliant light appen4,ed, the searchlight of the Zep peUnm which, for a moment.

Explosion fol lowed explosion. These were followed by clouds of fire. In the air, exploding shrapnel which the Belgian artillery fred at the airships could be observed. The whirling of the propellers started up again, directly above our heads. It became quieter and quieter, until the powerful ships of the air disappeared from our vietnity. Thus the forts were leveled. Thou sands of B/gians lay behind the walls and under the fortifications, dead and buried. A general storming attack followed. Liege was In the hands of the Germans, who had paid, in dead alone in this battle, 28,000 men.
