BY MAXIMILLIAN FOSTER P ‘eos Sept. 1.—The gunpit stood at the end of a little wood, artfully hidden by a camouflage ot interwoven branches twined into an arbor overhead. In the midst of this the gun, a blunt- nosed howitzer, squatted like a toad, ‘its grim, significant viciousness con- trasting strangely with the quiet of the green fields and the thicket sur- rounding it. The day was Sunday. There ‘are nd Sabbaths in this war. The day was Sunday, true, but it is the way of war that you do murder on Sundays or weekdays, seven days in the week. Remember- ing this, it was queer to see what was going on in that gunpit. Fifty or sixty khaki-ctad boys were clus- tered in the slight depression. Some sat on their bunkers, resting their backs against the gun-carriage. Others stretched themselves on, the trampled earth and there were some prone in the grass at the gunpit’s edge. War may not stop for Sun- days, yet these sixty boys were there for Sabbath worship. CIRCUIT-RIDER IN FRANCE The preacher stood at the center of the pit. He was a man of fifty or thereabouts—tall, spare, angular, with grizzled hair and stooping shoulders—a plain, awkward fellow —a man-of the people. Three gen- erations ago, any Sunday morning, you might have seen one of his kind, riding his rounds in the back- woods region of some Far Western community, bent on carrying the Gospel from one outlying congrega- tion to another. This was what this man was doing, too. His type may long have passed in America, but in France that itinerant evangel, the circuit-rider, seems to have come int his own again. This one had ridden far to-day. He had come up from behind the lines, making his way to the front by: railroad and-army truck. The last few miles of the journey he did afoot, trudging with his pack and bedding roll. along a shell-swept road unsafe for any vehicle. As it was, eyery now and then a shell would come trundling over the crest of the hill nearby and fall with a flat, clat- tering crash in the fields alongside. The: preacher, however, had not seemed to think of that. The small leather-bound volume in his hand— his book of texts—seemed to occupy him more.

His uniform, the same as theirs, was rumpled and dishev- elled, too, Dust and mud covered it. Dust, too, covered his face, the dust of the roads he had trudged that day. As for the man himself, lank and ungainly, he stood there filled with awkward shyness. One would have said, certainly, there was nothing very heroic in his looks. But the boys in khaki did not seem to think of that. Most of them came forward to great him person- ally. As he stretched out his hand to them, the mussed, rumpled. uni- form gathered in ill-fitting hillocks on his arms and shoulders. There was nothing very smart, very swag- ger, about that uniform. It looked as if its wearer often had slept in it. On the right arm blazed the Red Triangle of the Y. M. C. A. “Hello, Doc,” the boys in khaki said to him. “Hello, boys,” he re- plied. TALKED BOYS’ LANGUAGE One does.not remember the text he gave that.day. The preacher, in fact, lacked much that would have made him prominent and popular in, say, a New York or a Chicago congregation. However, he had ‘something about him that many an eminent divine. might have given much to possess. What it was one cannot say readily, but all he said his hearers seemed vividly to com- prehend.

They sat intent, As I say, I do not re- member what the text was he chose ‘that day. There was an interrup- tion just as he uttered it. The shell—it was a 77—came by way of the woods a mile or more be- yond. One heard it coming before it struck. Where it hit was fifty yards or more from. the gunpit’s edge. Having finished the text, half of it unheard, the preacher's face turned inquiringly toward the spot where a shower of earth; rocks and other debris had ascended skyward in a sudden belch of flame ahd smoke and dust. The crash that came with it shook one’s teeth but the preacher seemed not jarred. As rocks and earth came thudding back to the ground, his inquiring eyes turned again to his congregation. Some of the boys had stirred ab- ruptly. One lad at the edge of the gunpit had gone rabbitting over the crest, and now. was hidden from view. The preacher smiled, his bony features expressive of whimsi- cal humor. , Crrrrk—Blam! thudded : another shell.

Bombing hospitals and sinking hospital ships, judicially murdering Belgians and wringing their last franc from them, may be German policy, but it is uncéommonly short- sighted policy.

Wilhelmstrasse that Russia must he left unpartitioned at the end of the war, so Mr. Balfour tells the Wilhelmstrasse thatthe German ex- actions levied in Belgium will have to be tnade good at the end of the war. a nation running amuck. The new draft which has four weary years, man freedom. by indications w One does not recall much cf the sermon. It was punctuated at inter- vals with those emphatic exclama- tion points. One not accustomed to war's alarms listened more to those resounding 77's than to the labored, homely awkward figures of speech falling from the preacher’s lips. But between times it was evident that the others, those boys in khaki, ls- tened, Atl of them sat there still intent. Not once but half a dozen times the preacher had to pause, warned by the ripping clatter of a big one, tearing by close at hand. More than once, too, one of them exploding in the field alongside, flinging its splinters into the gunpit. ASKED TO COME BACK @ ‘When the preacher's talk’ was fin- ished, he picked up his pack and bedding roll, his book of texts safely in his pocket.. One by one the boys in khaki came up to bid him good- bye. “So long, Doc,” they said to hint, “Come again soon, will you?” “You bet, boys,” was the reply. Up the road as he hurried along to the next place—a dugout in the trenches—the shells still were burst- ing in the fields. ‘The preacher still at the distance. “Queer, but they always stay. They want someone to talk to them, those boys. Kind of pathetic, too. I’ve got a couple of boys—boys of my own, you know —over here in the trenches. That's what set me to thinking. I won- dered if they had anyone to talk to, and that made me wonder who was talking to all the other boys. So I came along.” JUST A BUSINESS MAN My preacher, I came to find out, was not even an ordained preacher. He had been a business man in a Middle Western town. “It's a great work,” he said, “only I wish sometimes { could speak a little better. It’s wonderful the way the boys like someone to talk to them. It don't seem to matter much what a fellow talks about; they're crazy to hear him. Maybe it brings ‘em a little nearer home.” I looked at him in the dusk. One forgot for the moment his ungainli- nes3, that and the quaint uncouth ness of his speech. Many famous. men, women too, are over here talk- ing to the boy The Y, M. C.
