Vol. 7, No. 10 IE DIDN'T COUNT Thought That Heartened Young British Soldier. i Helped to Overcome Natural Nervous ness of Hla First Physical Im pact With the Huns Realized It Was "Flflht or Die." ' Tommy Kelioo, n slxteen-ycnr-old English boy, tells how lie "got hU tlrst Uuu." Not n hundred feet away they were when our lads were Jumping to the parapet to meet them with their bayonets. I made n leap for the top of the ladder, grabbed at It, missed tind slipped back. Somebody reached out a hand and pulled me -up. ' Almost on us they were. Oh, never in my worst dreams and I've had. Juany a bad one since then have I seen a more dreadful sight than that. They came at us out of the dark like fiends from nnother world, like the pictures I've seen of men from Mars, for their heads were covered with the most evil looking masks that anybody fcould Imagine, masks with huge round eyes and long, piggish snouts. Shells were bursting above them, machine puns were tearing through their ranks and their masks were white und ghast ly in the light of the rockets. Many a lime I. had thought of what war would be like, but never had I thought I should look on such a sight as that. ' "Fight or die, Tommy Kehoel Fight or die 1" ' That's what I told myself ns I crouched in front of the sand bags, with my bayonet ready for them. ' Whopping big men they were, head and shoulders above me. But ns I waited there a thought flashed through me of the Bantam regiment, little fellows scarcely bigger than 1, who had inriiie good against eveu those giant Prussians. Size didn't count be hind a bayonet. It was quickness thnt Counted. I was sure of It. If It didn't, then It was all over with me. ' Even then, when they were almost pp ,to us, how the guns were mowing thetu down 1 It looked as If none could be left In a moment or two. Rut those that didn't fall came on like madmen nnd poured through the lanes where the big guns had leveled our wires. J" One he was n fclx-footer If he was an inch ran straight for me with his bayonet. I crouched and thrust at him ' thrust upward. Ills bayonet went over my shoulder. He staggered and fell over my gun. I had got him I I had got him! In the stomach I ( 'Twae lucky for me there was no time to think over It or to stand there gaping nt him the dead Hun hanging over my gun with his masked head almost touching me for It was horri ble. For a second or two I turned dlz py.nnd sick. But It was fight again or die. I Jerked my rifle back and stum bled over the dead man as ho flopped to the ground. ' f'Make for their stomachs, Tommy Kehoel Slake for their stomachs I" I told myself. "Size don't count." Find Historic Relics. Excavators for tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit subway tunnel to.

Garlic to Be Imported. Because of the scarcity of food In Europe and the dllllculty of transporta tion, the war board discouraged the Im portation of food products from Eu rope, hoping to save them for home consumption and to save tonnage. Gar lic from Italy was Included under this general prohibition until the Italian government represented that great financial loss would result, due to the vast acreage planted with garlic 111 Italy. The supply of this year's yield would be far too great for homo con sumption. Due to this, the War trndo board Issued a permit for the present year, with the understanding that after January, 1018, fewer acres would be planted to garlic, but would be de voted to the cultivation of other food products, which would bo used for home consumption.
