The men under him sur- roundednud destroyed a machine-gun post hidden among tree trunks just Inside the wood. As they went; on al ter bombing the German crew, the ser geant brandished the little flag over his head and shouted, "Come on, fel lows; there's another one." Just ahead some Australians were fighting around a shallow pit .In which were five Prus sians and a machine gun. . , Two or three Chicago boys dashed up with I thole bayonets poised. One of them lit- erauy icu on a Dig ltmneinnuer WHO was about to throw a bomb and sent him sprawling with a cracked skull, and, with the Australians, put the re tnalnder of the crew out of action and cleared a dugout behind of 11' submis sive fugitives. ; ', ',.. Still following the tiny Stars and Stripes, a little bigger than a pocket handkerchief, but, as one of the men said afterwards, "looking like a regu lar flag," the Americans, shoulder to shoulder with the Australians, passed through the eastern end of the wood and out Into the open fields again. The first time I have ever fought un der the American flag, Tank," said a tail, raw-boned Queensiander with a rst-aid bandage round his head. They arrived nt their final objective, a group of strong, well-sheatlied ; trenches linked with the rear defenses of Ham el village, and here the . Chicago ser geant planted his emblem on a bit of wood and sot It on the parapet. Bul lets whistled all round It, cutting1 the silk Into ragged strips nnd eventually it was wholly shot away save one uni.But (hey recognizable fragment, which was pre. served as a precious souvenir of an historic day. GUN CREW AT LUNCH Little Lester Manning, neglected wuif of Battle Ground, Vancouver, has come to La Grande to live at the James L. Collins home, 2001 Cove Ave. ; Mrs. Collins, states ..that he is n most Industilous fellow and that 'every; effott is being . made to make him feel at home there; Mrs. George Ruby and little .daughter,' Harriet, left this moanj ing for Portland to make '. thoif home there. They were accompan ied by Mrs. Buby's mother, Mrs. O. G. Lewis, who will stay with them for a short time. Mr. Ruby has teen in Portland for some time as an employee of the Northwestern Steel Company.

Mrs. Chasteen, who accompanied him as far as La Grande, returned home this morn-i'-.g. Flightless Parrot When Macqunrrle Island, situated 000 miles to the south of New Zeal and, was discovered In 1810, It was In habited, by a peculiar flightless parrot described by a contemporary who saw numbers of the birds which were brought to Sydney by sealers ns "the glibbest of the loquacious tribe." Re cent Investigation of the Island makes It nlmost certain thnt this strangely Isolated specimen of the parrot family is completely extinct, probably as a result of the Introduction of cuts, which hnve become wild and overrun tbo Island. Obstacles In Every Path. Most-of us who work for n living have to contend with a full measure of the dny's cares nnd setbacks. We have this obligation to meet, that dllii culty to master, mid so on. Yet in fair ness to ourselves and In justice to the persons with whom we touch elbows during business hours, we should, the minute we come Into their midst, put all "our own business" Into the background. vvrt 2 1 We.trrn NcwRP ptr Union' 1 In these columns thoro have been dlscussud on two different oceu sions renadns why the War Chef t proposed for Union County, should b adopted. The two reasons ' ai ready cited woro: First, tho plan stops oversubscriptions, and,, sec ondly, It save and conserves man' power which Is. thrown away In th cumbersome and , costly methods employed by promotion of many diivos in a yea.r. ( The third greet reason Is that it equalizes . the burden of war relief and takes it off the shoulders of a few and Places It whore It belongs t;n the shouldeVs of all In an equal aud equitable manner. y;; - . !' '; Everyone knows that war rollef dune on a hit and miss plan bits the sanie' ovowd always, hnd, ; by tne same token, - misses the same crowd always. There Is a certain amount of waste foodstuffs, much waste of money, and a great waste of time connected with every cook ed food sale, benefit dinner, apron sole, etc., but that Isn't all. Wo men engaged In making ; fancy apons and corset covers are not doing Red Cross work at Red Cross headquarters or in salvage stations or at the Red Cross canteens. They are occupied in enterprises that oh- y indirectly benefit the soldier; what the soldier 'needs specifically are bandages, socks, sweaters, etc. Therefore anything that occupies time and !effort should be' applied to bandages, ' socks and sweaters, end not to corset covers and apons. There are about ' 800 'women In Union county doing constant' work at Red Cross ' ffdotns. Where are the. rest? Some are working like beavers . on snles, benefits, etc., which , they ' erroneously believe equal the Red Cross rooih' work; are not.' ' ; ' ' ; ' ' Merely a pause In the day's work when n Canadian gun crew snatches a bite to eat and gulps down hot eoup before It resumes its appetite of send ing a few more sizzling shells over to Frits. The Huns' meals consist of a regular diet of shells, samples of which are seen in the foreground.' Note the strings of foliage In the back ground which carefully camouflage the big gun. Furthermore, It Is impossible to fitt 100 cents on the dollar for don ations to sales, dinners nnd the like. Some must, on the face of It, bo spent for food, clothing pnd the like at home to produce the sales goods. When you give 100 cents to the war . chest, 100 cents gets to the soldier. I The plan Is, so far as the War Chest is concerned, that when a poison gives to the war chest he has fulfilled his part and should not be called ; upon again that jonrT provided lie gave his full quo la the first time. Under this plan, mo benefit of war relief entertaln in.ent can be'put on rightfully until it has been sanctioned by tho Ad. Ivisory war board committee.: Even then no poison who has done his lull part previously may with jus tice be deemed u war-relief slacker. Only entortalhments of exceptional tmerlt will even 'be considered. ;' , And tho men! Considerable has been said of the women, but the I men ! ': The 'same group of meir. buy I ticket's for all apron sales,, dinners, corset cover raffles and like goods. Always the same group.' Other linen, In isolated offices, mills, far Kfl 'ranches and the" llko, escape Itho constant call. A few give more linore give loss, than their share. The War Chest puts the lodd evbn- ly on everybody's shoulders old and young none escape, and the Red Cross and other wai-rollof so cieties in the aggregate get more thari by the hit and miss plan. They have a constant, known , In come; the glvor has a known and couBtant waj-rellef sum to receive, and there Is stability, business and method to it all. And the sqldler gets 10P cents on tho dollar, which ha, can't' get the other way,! Why ctnttniie the waste, tho lost energy, the "misspent J dollars method" when the War Chest plugs all these l.-aks? . : !! !! i i i i! 1 1 i ii ,i f- in'.;-'! - I A ( ii"' 1 "I f ( RED 0RO33 DRTTQ .
