from carrying up ammunition to re
trieving the wounded or hoiaing a fiercely disputed trench or sap. In the great advances on the Somme and in Artois the pioneers performed work of the greatest importance. The duty of consolidating the captured ground and connecting it up with the old front line of the attackers, largely fell to them. In many places they took part in the advance as infantry, in others they kept the
advancing line supplied witn ammunition and water, and beat off counterattacks. Their losses have been heavy, but they have accomplished their tasks in the face of every obbtacle. As a rule, the pioneers remain in the vlcinjty of the trenches all the time their division is in the line, and do not go back for rest, except at long intervals. The pioneer is as yet a new type in the British Army, but he has long since passed the trial stage, and has proved his worth and steadfastness. His metal has been tried in the crucible of war and very thoroughly it has stood the test. Mountaineer Makes Sledge of Body To Save Guides Life

AMERICANISM
Oh, God of our great nation.
We waft a prayer to -thee:
Help us with love and honor
To win true Democracy.
Oh, the war, the war. this cruel war;
We're surely, surely m it;
But we'll never stand around anu
grin; We'll simply go and win it.
Old Germany has shown her hate
Toward all of the nations;
But 'we will go and help them fight
And furnish them with rations.
The United States will till the soil
And furnish food to feed them;
We have got the brains and money,
too; So thanks to our great nation.
We'll scale the skies and ride the seas
Nor fear the mine that's loaded;
Their mines are like the creed they
make; They want them all one-sided. REV. J. BAGFORD,
