When you're shaking like a Jelly and your feet are dead as stones, When your clothes and boots and blankets, and your rifle and your kit Are soaked from hell to breakfast and the dugout where you sit Is leaking like a basket, and upon the muddy floor The water lies in filthy pools, six inches deep or more; Tho' life seems cold and mis'rable, and all the world is wet. Vnn'll alwavs get thro' somehow if you've got a cigarette. When you're lying in a listening post. 'way out beyond the wire, While a blasted Hun, behind his gun, is doing rapid fire; When the bullets whine about your head and sputter on the ground. When your eyes are strained for every move, your ears for every souna You'd bet your life a Hun patrol is nrowlinE somewhere near A shiver runs along your spine that's very much like fear; You'll stick it to the finish but. I'll make a little bet, You'd feel a whole lot better if you had a cistarette. Written by a British soldier and sent to the New York Sun. Employes of the Hoosier store and Simplex Machine Tool company gave the Palladium Tobacco fund a big hnnst. when contributions from the Hoosier store clerks amounting to $5 and a fund from the Tool works amounting to $13.50 were received at the Falladium office Saturday morn ing:. Both the store and the factory sent their contributions voluntarily and the spirit of the employes will be appreciated by every Sammie in France that receives a Tobacco kit with the address of one of the two places on the post card contained in the kit. The contributions of these two places together with the money received from individuals Friday brought the total of the fund to $161.50. Expresses Feeling The poem of the British soldier expresses the same feeling that will come to many of the American soldiers that are either in France now or are planning. to go.

Drafted Quakers Must Choose

Between Being Called Slackers or Patriots, London is Told

Quakers of conscription age in' America must choose between being called "patriots" or seek exemption and be called "slackers" the report of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends to the London General Meeting of Friends declared. But if they are true to their prin ciples they will seek exemption as -a Friend and become a "reconstruct! onist," the report further sets out. The report tells of the men who left Richmond Friday for the army training camp at Louisville, Ky., and says that the "stern necessities of war are becoming more apparent day by day." Will Have to Choose "Young Friends will have to choose between enlisting and accepting the draft, as do thousands of others of good morals and conscience, and take up arms, or seeking exepmtlons a Friend and seek work as a reconstruct tionist and may be called a 'slacker." "We are thankful," the report is begun, "that in national Interests our nations are side by side. The flags of England float here as well as the flags of the United States float In England." . . Regarding the present meeting the report says that it has "not been selfcentered" this year. "Our obligations to the warld have received earnest at QUITS COMMITTEE AFTER 32 YEARS Joseph A. Goddard, for thirty-two years a member of the Evangelistic committee of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, resigned Saturday and George Wl Bird, of Greenfield, was appointed to fill his place. Mr. Goddard, a prominent business man of Muncle, was "supposed" to have resigned because of business and his long service on the executive com mittee. He was the only remaining member of the committee, as the terms of Emma Hodges and George Bird expired this year. No appointments to fill their vacancies were made, and Mr. Goddard, realizing that he would be unable to do the entire work of the committee, which has been done in the past, tendered his resignation which was accepted. Rev. Truman C. Kenworthy, who resigned Friday as superintendent of the Evangelistic committee, told the meeting that "Mr. Goddard would not have resigned had it not been for the fact that his working force was taken from him."

"Tomorrow when the Bky Is, undimmed by the smoke of battle, when human wrath has wrought Its worst, when out of the ruin men cry for arbitrament of reason, when humbled hearts seek heaven's healing, then Friends may come to the fore and out of their hearts which have never borne hatred toward brother men may tell the world of the love of Christ and his, peace which" passes all understanding and with hands unstained by the blood of human fellows may offer to bind and to heal the wounded by war."

Only two members of the board were present at the meeting. President W. K. Cheesman being absent on account of important work at his home. Of the two remaining commissioners, the center of attack of the attorneys for the tax ferret was about Andrew Simpson, whose signature to the proposed contract would have meant the hiring of DOLAN FUNERAL TO BE MONDAY The funeral of Martin J.

Ferret Conference the ferret, Commissioner Seaney having already affixed his name to the proposition presented by Van Deer Veer. Nusbaum Starts Uproar. The fullisade of "tongue-shots" began when Simpson brought up a proposition made to the county by another man. Dr. W. H. Nusbaum, of Indianap olis, to collect sequestered taxes for 30 percent instead of 35 percent, as asked for by Van Der Veer. Simpson declared that there was "something crooked somewhere" and his remark was answered by Van Der Veer by the statement that "Nusbaum is sore at me" (Van Der Veer.) According, to Van Der Veer, Nus baum knows nothing of tax work, although he was employed by the Van Der Veer company some time ago to secure contracts. Attorney Johnson took up the cudgel in behalf of the tax ferret and after much brilliant oratory in which he declared that the men who were op posing the employment of a tax ferret were "sneaks and afraid to come before the board," he asked Simpson if he would sign the contract. To this Simpson replied: "You will be eating a Christmas dinner before any contract of that kind is. signed. At the close of Johnson's remarks, Simpson declared that Van Der Veer, in explaining the proposed contract between the board and Nusbaum, had "said more in a few words than you Johnson had said in your entire speech." Samuel Jungreis, in whom New York has produced a six-year-old human adding machine, can give instantly the totals of formidable columns of figures, and is uable to distinguish one figure from the other.
