pact With the Huns Realized
It Was "Fl)ht or Die."
Tommy Kehoc, a Hlxtoeti-yeiir-nl4
English boy, tells how lie "got Ills first
Hun." Not u hundred feet uwny they
were when our bids were jumping t0
the purnpet to meet them with their
bayonets. I made n leap for the ton
of the ladder, grubbed at It, missed
and slipped buck. Somebody reached
out a hand and pulled me up.
Almost on us they were. Oh, never
In my worst dreams and I've Imd,
many n bad one since then have I
seen n more dreadful sight tliiui that.
They came at us out of the dark like
fiends from another world, like the
pictures I've seen of men from Mars,
for their beuds were covered with the
most evil looking masks that anybmly
could Imagine, masks with huge round
eyes and long, piggish snouts. Shells
were bursting above them, mnchlne
guns were tearing through their rank
and their masks were white and ghast
ly 111 the light of the rockets. Mirny a
time I hud thought of what war would
be like, but never had I thought I
should look ou such n sight as thnt.
"Fight or die, Tommy Kehoe! Fight
or die!"
That's what I told myself as I
crouched In front of the sand bags,
with my bayonet ready for them.
Whopping big men they were, bend
and shoulders above inc. I5ut as I
waited there a thought Hushed
through me of the nantaui regiment,
little fellows scarcely bigger than I,
who had made good against even those
giant Prussians. Size didn't count be
hind n bayonet. It was quickness that
counted. I was sure of It. If It didn't,
then It was nil over with me.
Even then, when they were almost
up to us, how the guns were mowing
them down ! It looked ns If none could
be left In a moment or two. lint those
that didn't fall came on like madmen
and poured through the lanes where
the big guns hud leveled our wires.
One he was a six-footer If be was
an inch ran straight for tne 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 hnd got him I I
bad got lit in I In the stomach!
Twns lucky for me there was no
time to think over It or to stand there
gaping at him the dead Hun hanging
over my gun with bis masked bead
almost touching me for It was horri
ble. For n second or two I turned diz
zy and sick. Hut It wns tight again or
die. I Jerked my rifle back and stum
bled over the dead man as he flopped
to the ground.
"Make for their stomachs, Tommy
Kehoe! Make for their stomachs !" I
told myself. "Size don't count."

Garlic to Be Imported.
Recause of the scarcity of food In
Europe nnd the dlfllculty of transporta
tion, the war board dlscournged the Im
portation of food products from Eu
rope, ho)ilng 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 In
Italy. The supply of this year's yield
would be far too great for home con
sumption. Due to this, the war trade
board Issued n permit for the present
year, with the understanding that
nfter January, 1018, fewer acres would
be planted to garlic, but would be de
voted to the cultivation of other food
products, which would be used for
home consumption. Itnllitn-AmorlcaD

This Can't Be True.
Once upon a time a man named
Clark became n privileged character"
nround town, and because of bis Inti
mate friendship with the postmaster
was allowed certain special liberties
about the post olllce for example, go

bars) and picking out his own mnll.
Once upon another time n new clerk,
a stranger In town, started to work at
the post olllce. Not knowing of Mr.
Clark's serve-self arrangement, the
clerk wns chagrined the first dny on
the Job to see the man walk boldly In
and begin to go through the mull.
"Say," exploded the clerk, "who do
you tlilnk you are, nnyhow? Do you
run this old mall boat?"
"No, of course not," explained Mr.
Clark, "but I'm allowed the freedom of
