wo are arc fighting as well wen a as cowards The men said the they would hold on If It I would go goback goback goback back and get r reinforcements They did but everyone of ot them died of or his wounds On the wa way I stumbled into a shell crat crater r and met a youngster who had lost part of his face Hello laddie Isaid I Isaid said what are you doln doing here Looking Looking Look ing for or a n. stretcher-bearer stretcher he said I told him to go over by a stump and sit down that I would send a stretch stretch- er bearer to him presently but stretch stretch-j I knew I was telling him to go over and die because Id I'd been five lve miles back buck and the Germans had wiped out all our stretcher bearers When hen I finally got I back to the nearest pill box and the nearest doctor the thc pill box was blown up by a R German shell I I c PLEADS FOR ALL I II I If you ou had seen the things I have I seen you OU would not have to be asked to help the tho Red Cross It If you dont don't

give all I you have Lieutenant Choyce was presented by Mr Byrne as a future resident of or Salt I Lake City I When Zt hen the war is over the chairman chairman chair chair- I man remarked he says he will come comeback comeback comeback back to Salt Lake to live The English people when the they j j open their turn not to the war news but to the news from I Washington Lieutenant Choyce said I My Iy battalion has been wiped out I three times he remarked We e j couldn't make it up the last time but now Americans arc ore going over to take its place A German laughed when I Isaid Isaid Isaid said America was in the tho war The Americans are arc miles a away a and they aro arc children in war he scoffed But there Is Js no power on earth can keep the tho Americans miles from fromEn En England landI land I I would like to tell teU you how the first Americans camo came into the war Thc They asked our British patrol for Cor a n chanco chance to go over the top and over o tho the lop top the they went The Germans cut cutoff cutoff off oft the ears and noses of ot the first American wounded as a warning Tho The Americans answered that warning by going over O the top the next morning with ten men for ever every one who had gone over before Lieutenant Choyce had some astonishing astonishing aston aston- sidelights on tho the war He told of or German dugouts furnished with cigars whisky and even pianos all aU stolen from the occupied territory or of German women being invited to dugouts and Belgian women compelled to occupy them f Do you ou know the speaker said t that five days after your our boys bos got bot over there they will be swarming with lice Uce When Then I first went over m my mother wrote and asked if It I was sure I I hadn't any Jn Insects and I replied certainly certainly not not but but I spoke c too soon I i I FEEL CHATTY We e called caned them thorn chats then the themen themen men would say bay they felt folt quite chatt chatty today One morning I discovered one of ot m my men within ten yards of ot the tho German trench stark naked and closely closely closey close close- ly y scrutinizing his shirt I had him told off ocr b by my sergeant sergeant and and you ou know that a n. sergeant Is selected for his ability to use words not to be found in the dictionary dictionary and and the poor naked beggar replied ho was merely 10 having Ing a chat up sir Then there were the rats The They come and sit on your our face tace at night We lost so many men chasing the rats over the tho top that I had to give an order to hunt no more rats except those in the opposite trench We c had ono one aristocratic officer who never ne put aside his monocle and while he was as bravo and good as any of ot the others he was extremely par par- I recall how one morning ho he stared at a private through his monocle remarking remarking- Hal Ha ha No shave And the private staring back said Raid Ho ho No razor Once this officer ordered his ordell orderly to serve dinner and dinner was dul duly served served- a dry biscuit upon a n. tin plate Closely Closel eyeing the plate the officer detected finger marks upon it It and told the tho orderly to wash the plate which plate which the orderly did with a rag ho had been using to clean his rifle Americans Americana can still teach Germany a few fey tricks Lieutenant Choyce said eald Ho told how the first American gas was projected and ond how the Germans put aside their masks on finding they had l been een fooled b by clouds of or smoke on only I to die for tor their haste baste wh when n gas rolled along in the tr trail lII of ot the smoke And Germany German said the lieutenant appealed to Spain to call the tho allies allies' attention to tho the fact tact that gas is not a proper method of ot warfare and that Germany German would stop ut using ing it if It tho the allies would That appeal has nover never reached London or Washington and no tto appeal will be bo heeded except that which comes from Crom our boys over ther there I wish when you ou got get down on your our knees to pray for Cor your our boys each night |
