medium of lutter to eastern roti
eroasmon, for their uld in passing
the Slunolt amendment to the Land
Urant bill, asking t h it 10 per cent
Ko lo tho general reclamation fund
to too expended on reclninatUiii pro
jects in tho Btuto of Oregon. To
thla end it Is proposed to make
Jnly 31st a tatter-writing day. unci
it Js urged that every one having
Any acquaintance with any members
of congress, or knowiiiK any Friends
who ln',B inch nrnuntntunco. send
thom & letter on that date asking
their Biipport of the amendment, be
cause It Is only Just lo Oregon that

kind from some one on the ground
Is often more reaching In results
than any other kind of pressure, It
will not be necessary to write to the
members of this state, for they are
all in line, lint the tacts must be sent

WINCHESTER, Mass., July 17
John Shechan, Harvard '11, back
from the Verdun front with a medal
of honor for courageous work as an
ambiance driver in the American
legion, today told the United Pres.
thla story of the battlefield as it v.af
related to blm by a Prencn cantiri,
of Zouaves wh0 lay mortally wound
ed in a base hospital.
Following one. of the terrific
charges by the Roches up a shell
swept slope held by the French, the
field was strewn with dead and
dying. Incessant artillery fire for
three days before the final charge
had pitted the hillside with hug;
shell-craters and had driven the
Kronen, first lino back to the crcsl
of the knoll.
I hen came the Germans, pouring
out of their network of trenches,
stumbling up tho steep slopes and
going down before the rifle fire oi
the French zouaves. Three times the
Roches attempted to gain the crest,
and each time they were mowed
down by a hall of lead, falling back
to their lines in scattered groups.
When night came on and the Ger
man charge had been stayed. No
Man's Land, between the French
lines on the top of tho hill and the
Teutons' position on tho plane be
low was piled high with dead and
woundeu ; ana the huge hole? torn
ty the German shells wee filled
nearly level full with bodies.
Cuptaiu X had been In command
of one of tho first lino trendies ami
h's company had fallen back just
before the charge, leaving many
wonded behind. Among the latter
was a leiutenant, a brother-in-law
of the captain's, with whom hd ;iad
taken tho oath of allegiance .ieu
their company was called to tbs
colors.
Calling to a gigantic zouave,
known as the bravest man in his
company, tho captain told him he
Intended creeping down the bloody
slope under cover of darkness, iu the
hope that ho might rescue his coin
1'idc and asked the man to aceoin
1 any him.
As they made their way down,
Inch by inch, for incendiary shelly
s earning overhead lit up tin; sky
trom time to time, making tfcon,
e'ear targets for the Goran gun." the
aptain and his man passed huudroda
of moulting, dying comrads ami Ger
mans; and their cuutcuns were ncar-
"M"lly empty when
they reached the
j trench they had once held.
There, nearly dead 'from thirst
j and wounds they round' tbe lieuton
I ant, half way up the side of a great
j hole lorn hy a 1 '1 Inch shell. In
j tbe darkness the captain's flashlight
I lit up the crater with ghastly effect
and be hastened to pars his comrade

tho Gurmana would never again at
tempt the desparate charge in which
they had lost so heavily the aftei
noon before, and the French could
not move from .their impregnable
position. It meant that he aini all
his men would lie there until they
died from thirst of their wounds
Caijitain X mopped the clammy
sweat from his brow and thought
of the awful torture these men, ene
mies though they were, must en
dure, and then( deciding instantly,
ordered his man to carry the lieuten
eat on his back to the Frcnh lines
and return with as many hand gre
nades as he could carry.
b'or nearly an hour he lay beside
the top of the crater, with only tho
occasional scream of a shell over
head to drown out the g
the Germans. Then the zouave re
turned, and with a muttered prater
they threw the grenades down into
the heap of Germans until the last
cries were stilled.
