NO GRUMBLING IN FRONT LINE.
"Up in the front line trenches
where men are facing the enemy Are,
-where sometimes they stand for
'hours in mud and filth up to their
knees, one never hears a word of
complaint," says Harry N. Holmes,
a war work secretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association who for
two years has been under shell fire
on the Flanders front where he haB
charge of 110 British association
dugouts and huts.
"Only the vital things of life
count out there," said he. "The spirit
of those men gives one a greater
faith in mankind. I recall one In
cident where a soldier crawled Into
our dugout In the Ypres salient. He
was covered with mud and blood and
one arm was shattered. We learned
his story.
"He had gone over the top and in
INoy Man's Land a shell exploded,
mortally wounding his chum in the
leg and breaking his arm. Together
they dragging themselves into a shell
hole half full of water. For two
days and two nights this boy held
the head of his chum above the wa
ter until he died.
"That's the spirit of tne men out
there. They never grumble. Why, I
have seen a soldier, weary anU fag
ged out, come Into our dugout and as
he was about to raise a cup of cocoa
to his Hps, put It down and go, out
to where am ambulance was tak-;
lng aboard Us human wreckage and
going up to the figure on the
stretcher, reach out his hand and say,
'Good bye, Skinny, old pal. 1 hope
you pull through,' and then come
hack and drink his cocoa.
"The first thought of these lads
Is not for themselves. There Is noth
ing they will not do for a friend.
Out of this war, out of the horror
and misery and hell of it will come
pure, beautiful andi ennobling things.
What I have seen at the front huB
made me believe In men."
Military oflkiuls predict a war of
long duration on the western front,
so we might just as well -settle down
to business at home and plan to do
our bit patriotically for our boys at
the front. We have finally passed
the "watchful waiting" period.

Bellows
Marshal Dave Shambrook picked
up a couple of Austrlans, yesterday,
and as neither of them had been nat
uralized, the officer felt that some
thing should be done with the fel-
Iowb. One of the aliens has been
working around the country for the
past five years, while the other has
been here only a short time, and late
ly worked a few days at the Glengary
cement quarry. Justice of the Peace
I. B. Riddle was consulted as to dis
position of the aliens, and advised
that they be turned over to the
sheriff. Acting on this suggestion,
Sheriff Qulne was communicated
with, but said that really he had no
authority In the matter and advised
that the men be turned loose. Owing
to the fact that no one seemed to
have jurisdiction Marshal Shambrook
told the Austrlans to "hit the trail",
which they proceeded to do. One
of them went north, expecting to get
work at the Sweeney construction
camp on the Pacific highway, north
of Oakland. It is alleged that since
the United! States has hot officially
dcc'.ared war on Austria there is no
legal way of handling Austrian
aliens, although it Is common belief
that all such men should be interned,
as their sympathies are doubtless
with the central powers.
SUNDAY BIG DAY
AT
Easter Sunday was a great day in
the Christian church. There were
246 In the Bible school, with a fine
program, and a good offering for the
benevolent work of the church. The
morning and evening services were
very largely attended, and much in
terest was manifested throughout the
dny. Five people united with the
church, making a total of 20 during
the first month of the present pastor
ate. The revival services will con
tinue throughout the week. The pas
tor will epeak tonight on the theme,
"Shall We Know Each Other in
i-eaven?" Tomorrow evening his
theme will be "The Change of
Heart." The smile chorus made up
of children and young people will
sing again next Friday night. Their
appearance as leaders of the music is
always greeted with large audiences,
and' they make a fine impression with
their music. The outlook for the
church and its work seems to be
very hopeful.
