HEY climb aboard their loaded
truck at sundown, fifteen miles
behind the lines. They rumble
through the winding streets, out on
white road that leads to Germany!
The man at the wheel used to be a
broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits
an accountant from Chicago. A news
paper man from the Pacific Coast is
the third. Now they all wear the uni
form of one of these organizations.
The road sweeps round a village and
on a tree is nailed a sign: “Attention!
L’Ennemi Vo us Voit! The Enemy
Sees You!”
They glance far up ahead and there,
suspended in the evening light, they see
a Hun balloon.
“Say, we can see him plain tonight!”
murmurs the accountant from Chicago.
"And don’t forget,” replies the Phila
delphia broker, “that he can see us just
as plain.”
The packing cases creak and groan,
the truck plods on—straight toward that
hanging menace.
They reach another village—where
heaps of stone stand under crumpled
walls.
Then up they go, through the strange
silence broken only when a great pro
jectile inscribes its arc of sound far
overhead.
They reach a turn. They take it
They face a heavy incline. For half
a mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range of every inch
of it The mountain over there is where
the big Boches’ guns are fired. This
incline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
their gas masks to the alert settle their
steel helmets closer on their heads.
At first the camion holds its speed.
Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
his gear-shift, kicks out his clutch. The
engine heaves—and heaves—and stalls!
“Quick! Spin it!” calls the driver.
The California journalist has jumped.
He tugs at the big crank.
“ Wh-r-r-r-r-r-r-room I ”
T
The shell breaks fifty yards behind.
Another digs a hole beside the road
just on ahead.
And then the engine comes to life.
It crunches, groans and answers.
Slowly, with maddening lack of haste,
it rumbles on.
“Wh-r-r-oom!” That one was close
behind. The fragments of the shell are
rattling on the truck.
the Now shells are falling, further back
along the road. And the driver feels
the summit as his wheels begin to pick
up speed.
Straight down a village street in
which the buildings are only skeletons
of buildings. He wheels into the court
yard of a great shell-tom chateau.
“Well, you made it again I see!” says
a smiling face under a tin hat—a face
that used to look out over a congrega
tion in Rochester.
“Yep!” says the driver glancing at
his watch. “And we came up Dead
Man’s Curve in less than three minutes
—including one stall!”
* * * *
Later that night two American boys,
fresh from the trenches bordering that
shattered town, stumble up the stairs
of the chateau, into a sandbagged room
where the Rochester minister has his
canteen.
“Get any supplies tonight?” they ask.
“You bet I did!” is the answer, “What
will you have?”
“What’s those? Canned peaches?
Gimme some. Package of American
cigarettes—let’s see—an’ a cake of
chocolate—an* some of them cookies!”
“Gosh!” says the other youngster
when his wants are filled. “What would
we do without you?”
* * * •
You hear that up and down the front,
a dozen times a night—“What would
we do without them?”
Men and women in these organiza
tions are risking their lives tonight to
carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks
and camionettes are creeping up as close
as any transportation is permitted.
Any optical place is suppoaed to
have eyeglasses and not carpets or
furniture.
Optometrists naturally attach more
importance to what you want when
your eyes trouble you—which is com-
fortfand satisfaction and quality and
service.
A
That a what you get from compe
tent optometrists. (.lasers are the
tools, and the frames and the mount
ings, the mechanical contrivances,
which properly and scientifically
handled, bring comfort and satisfac
tion.

From there these people are carrying
up to the gun-nests, through woods,
across open fields, into the trenches.
The boys are being served wherever
they go. Things to eat, things to read,
things to smoke, are being carried up
everywhere along the line.
With new troops pouring into France,
new supplies must be sent, more men
and women by the hundreds must be
enlisted. They are ready to give every
thing. Will you give your dollars to
help them help our men?
