NOT A SACRIFICE It is well to get a correct line on the various calls that are be ing made and will be made on our purses before the war ends and in the first place we must get the distinction between giv ing and lending. Uur govern ment has not asked and proba bly will net ask for one cent of gift money. The extent of its call is for loan3 and for loans on which it will pay fair rates of interest The man or woman who buys War .Savings Stamps or Liberty Bodos does not sacn nee for the cause in the sense in which we usually employ the word. At the most this action entails but a temporary inconven tence in diverting our means to different channels from those in which We are accustomed to use them. . In the end we'have the full worth of our money in the soundest securities on earth the promise of the U. S. government to pay.

JAMIESON & MARSHALL Sanitary Plumbers Condon, Oregon I U him i mum tf'oM rubk Ult k intu CHAPTER XXVI. All Quirt (D en the Western Front At brigade headquarters I happened to overhear a conversation between our O. O. C. (general officer commanding) and the divisional commander. From this conversation I learned that we were to bombard the German lines for eight days, and on the first of July the "big push" was to commence. In a few days orders were Issued to that effect,, and It was common prop erty all along the line. On the afternoon of the eighth day ot oar "strafelng," Atwell and I were sit ting In the front-line trench smoking fags and making out our reports of the previous night's tour of the trenches, which we had to tarn In to headquar ters the following day, when an order was passed down tho trench that Old Pepper requested twenty volunteers to go over on a trench raid that night to try and get a few German prisoners foi Information purposes. I Immediately volunteered for this Job, and shook bands with Atwell, and went to the rear to give my name to the officers In charge of the raiding party. I was accepted, worse luck. At 0:45 that night we reported to the brigade headquarters dugout to receive Instructions from Old Pepper. After reaching this dugout we lined up In a semicircle around him, and he addressed ns as follows : "All I want yon boys to do Is to go over to the German lines tonight, sur prise them, secure a couple of prison ers, and return immediately. Our ar tillery has bombarded that section of the line for two days and personally I believe that that part of the German trench Is nnoccupled, so Just get a cou ple of prisoners and return as quickly as possible." The sergeant on my right, In an un dertone, whispered to me: "Say, Tank, how are we going to get a couple of prisoners ir the old rooi thinks 'personally that that part of the trench la unoccupied.' sounds kind of Oshy, doesn't It mster I had a funny sluktng sensation In my stomach, and my tin bat felt as If It weighed about a ton and my enthusi asm was tneltlng away. Old Pepper must have beard the sergeant speak because be turned In his direction and in a thundering voice asked s What did yotj sayr The sergeant with a scarlet look on his face and his knees trembling, smartly saluted and answered : "Nothing, air." Old Pepper eald : Well, don't say It so loudly the nest time." Then Old Pepper contlnned : "In this section of the German trenches there are two or three ma chine guns which our artillery, In the last two or three days, has been un able to tape. These guns command tho sector where two ot our communica tion trenches Join the front line, and us the brigade Is to go over the top to morrow morning I want to capture two nr three men from these guns' crews, and from tbein I may be able to obtnln valuable Information as to the exnrt location of the guns, and our artillery will therefore be able to demnllxh them la-fore the attack, and thus prevent oar losing a lot of men while using these communication trenches to bring up re-enforcements." These were the Instructions be gave us: Take off your Identification disks. strip your uniforms of all numcrnls, Insignia, etc., leave your papers with your captains, because I don't want the Roches to know what regiments are against them as this would be valimhh' Information to them In our attack to morrow and I don't wont any of you to be taken alive. What I want Is twd prisoners and If I get them I have a way which will make them divulge all necessary Information ns to their guns. Ton have your choice of two weapons you may enfry your'per- suaders' or your knuckle knives,, and each man will arm himself with four Mills bombs, these to be used only In case of emergency." A perminder Is Tommy's nickname for a club carried by the bombers. It is about two feet long, thin at one end. and very thick at the other. The thick! end Is Studded with sharp steel spike; while through the center of the club there Is a nine-Inch lead bar, to give It weight and balance. When you get a prisoner all you have to do Is Just stick this club up In front of him, and believe me, the prisoner's patriotism for "Deutschland ueber Alios" fadis away and he very willingly obeys the orders of his captor. If, however, tho prisoner gets hgh-toned and refuses to follow you, simply "persuade" him by first removing his tin hat, and then well, the use of the lead weight In the persuader Is demonstrated, and Tom my looks for another prisoner. The knuckle knife is a dagger affair, the blade of which is about eluht Inches long with a heuvy steel guurd over the grip. This guard U studded with steel projections. At night In a trench, which Is only ubout three to four feet wide. It makes a very handy weapon. One punch In the face gen erally shatters a man's Jaw and you can get him with the knife us he goes down. Then we had what we called our "come-alongs." These are strands of barbed wire about three feet long, made Into a noose at one end; at the other end, the barbs are cut off and Tommy slips bis wrist through a loop to get a good grip on the wire, If the PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY T.
