BOOK DONATION WEEK FOR
OUR SOLDIERS—MARCH 18-23 |
Last fall a drive for our mil]ionl
dollars for soldiers’ libraries was
held all over the country. It was:
successful and now fine libraries are
in each cantonment. Marietta con
tributed twenty-five dollars toward
the fund—a number of magazines,|
and sixty books. The money was for
warded ,to Washington, the maga
zines given to the local soldiers club,
and the army Y. M. C. A. and the
beoks instead of being sent to Camp |
Gordon, were placed in the Y. M. C.{
A. house at Camp Blackjack. This
small library is the only one our boys
here have and the appeal is made now
for donations of books. Every one
in Marietta is asked to help. Look
over your books and pick out some
that you like—not old uninteresting
unattractive volumes, but good stir
ring fiction, interesting books of
travel or books along technical or
military lines. These books may be
sent to Miss Mabel Cortelyou or left
at the Book Store. Miss Mabel Cor
telyou will take charge of them, and
have them placed on the shelves of
the Y. M. C. A. at Camp Blackjack.
No magazines are asked for.

l - Kirby’s Letter ’
For fourteen years Kirby has been
a faithful worker in a pottery fac
tory in England. In 1915 he was
drafted to the colors. In 1916 he
was sent to the trenches in France.
For three months he lived like a rat
in a holee. On May 20th, 1916, the
word went through the trenches that
at 11 o’clock that night his company
would take their turn at fighting
death.
All the evening the big British
guns had been storming the German
lines with terrific furor. Crack!
Boom! Crash} A constant thunder!
Bombs exploding every second. A
rain of fire! Meanwhile Kirby wrote
a note—his last he feared—to his
wife and each of the four children.
It was hard, yes, very hard, but the
other men were doing the same. Yes,
thousands of men wrote their last
note that very night!
Suddenly at 11 c¢’clock the cannons
stopped. For a minute it was quiet
as death. Then at the sound of a
pistol Kirby and his comrades sprung
up their little ladders into the open
space between the English and Ger
man trenches. There they threw
their hand grenades. But only Ger
man corpses were in that trench.
They had all been killed by the shells.
Forward, still forward, they kept
running breathlessly up to the second
Iline of trenches. Here a terrible
hand-to-hand fight took place with a
few remaining Germans. These Ger
mans and half of the English were
chopped up in the fight. Kirby still
lived. On, he and his comrades
pushed to the third line of German
trenches. They simply ran blindly.
They were drunk with the joy of get
ting back for France a few more
yvards of her soil.
When the third line of enemy
trenches were reached, it was a dif
ferent story. Here German rein
forcements had been gathered. Kir
by drew his revolver and fired at
the first German he saw. The next
moment Kirby himself fell to the
ground stunned. When he came to,
he found himself on two eorpse soak
ing in blood. He raised his head to
‘look about. Whizz, went a bullet
iwithin an inch of his ear. Four
other bullets struck the ground about
him.
It was now about six the next
morning. Kirby could not advance
to the German trenches; nor retreat
to his own in the rear. For eight
hours there he lay in the hot sun, a
}wounded man on top of two corpses
—one an Englishman and one a Ger
man. Suddenly, just before dusk that
day, he spied a big hole in the ground
which had been made by a great
shell the night before. Inch by inch
he dragged his weary body toward
this hole. Only one more pull and
he peeped over the edge. Inside
were a dozen of his wounded com
rades and all but four were still a
live.
There Kirby and his brothers lay
all day while the fire from both sides
again blazed over their heads. Onel
75cm shell exploded over them. The
mere impact threw a dead soldier
on top of Kirby. A piece of another
shell cut off the foot of a sergeant
at Kirby’s side. All of them were
hurt in some way by this bombard
ment. Around them the wounded
were mourning. Some even had the
death rattle. Their hope grew dim.

LYDIA E.PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. LYNN.MASS.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
How long must they stay in that
hole? Better die in an effort to get
back, they agreed, than die there
from starvation. They had not had
a thing to eat for over twenty-four
terrible exhausting hours.
It was again dark. Only a rocket
now and then would light up the sky.
Suddenly Kirby said: “Boys, I'm
not going to die here like a dog. I'm
going to crawl to our lines and tell
them where you are. They can dig a
trench out to you and bring you all
in.” It seemed like suicide for Kirby
to do this. His wound prevented him
crawling on his belly. He had to
lie on his back and work forward
by pushing his heels into the ground.
Slowly he worked his way along over
the dead bodies which strewed the
ground. He was faint and was suf
fering great pain. But at last he
reached his goal.
Within two minutes after telling
his story, the shovels were at work
and the dirt was flying. The English
trench diggers were racing with the
sun to resuce the remaining men.
Unless the hole could be reached
before dawn, the whole game would
be up, as the new trench would show
the Germans that some men were
hiding in the hole. But the trench
diggers won. Through the muddy
trench were pulled the bodies of the
other eight living men, the eight hap
piest men in France.
For a month Kirby lay in the hos
pital fighting death. Finally he was
well enough to write two letters. One
of these letters was to an old friend,
too old to enlist, but at work in a
shipyard near Liverpool. Let me
quote from this letter of Kirby’s:
“Jack, it breaks my heart to see
in the papers that you and your com
rades are now wasting time to
scrap about wages, hours, and such
child-play. I didn’t blame you b/efore
the war. I was then a labor union
man myself. I will not blame you
for doing so after the war. If I live
we’ll be union men together. But for
God’s sake, Jack, forget such things
now. Remember that we fellows are
suffering, starving, and dying over
here, largely for want of more ships.
“Why, Jack, if I could only change
places with you, I would work all day
and all night, and be happy to live
on bread and water. Jack, the very
worst conditions which you ever saw
are Heaven to what us boys over
here are going through. What'’s
money or hours or anything else com
pared with getting ships built to save
us from Hell? 1 say, Jack, for God’s
sake do more for us!
I hear vou don’t believe in war,
Jack. Well, I guess none of us fel
lows like war much better than you
do. But let me tell you that the on
ly way to make this the last war is
to give us your very best now. Please,
please help us. And say, Jack, please
post this letter where the other boys
will see it. Can’t write any more.
I'm too weak. Goodbye.”
Reader, today this applies to us as
it applied to the English workers a
yvear ago. How shall we answer it?

ROAD PLAN DISCUSSED
The Executive committee of the
Georgia State Automobile Associa
tion, after consideration of the Road
Building plan presented in an article
by Judge N. A. Morris in our last
issue, has invited the Judge to be
their guest at a luncheon in Atlanta
on March 15th.
The plan was based on the Drain
age Canal law, and will no doubt be
the subject of much discussion, if it
does not reach the point of action,
by the next legislature.
