SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TOO`'
ARE MANY OF THE TROOPS.
Much of the Fighting on the Belgian
Front is Carried on in Boats
on No Man's Sea.
There are some thousands of sol-
diers in the gallant little Belgian army
holding that corner of their unhappy,
kingdom still untrod by German foot
who answer Kipling's description of
the marine; they are soldiers and
sailors toe. How theses Belgian in-
fantrymen fight in boatsat night is
one of many strange stories of the
war.
For two years most of the Belgian.
front has-been under water, the bar-
rier the Belgian flung across the Ger-
man path in the first year of war by
opening the dikes. On one side of
the water are the Belgian trenches, on
the other side the German. There are
miles and' miles of flooded, sodden
country with here and there a village
Shelled to rubble, one of the most deso-
late regions of the whole desolate
western front.
By day all it quiet on those low-
lands except for the occasional crack
of the sniper's rifle or the rumble of
the usual bombardment. But when
night falls there begins exciting, touch
and go work in the dark between the
trenches on No Man's Sea.
Strange Warfare, This.
For considerable stretches the wa-
ter is nearly a mile wide. Just at its
edge little boats lie hidden under the.
Belgian trenches. In the darkness
the Belgian infantrymen steal down to
them and now become marines, set
forth on patrol.
It needs not only daring and cool-
ness, -but some special training to do
this hazardous work. The men use
padded or muffled oars, sometimes
punt poles,.. sometimes they lie flat in
the bottom of the boat and paddle with
their hands. They are armed with
bombs, sometimes with long knives.
Creeping silently close to the Ger-
man shore, to see what the enemy is
up to over there, is a risky undertak-
ing. Any moment a star shell may
flood the water with light and reveal
the little boat and its crew to watch-
ing -marksmen, and through the night
machine guns sporadically spray the
water near the German trenches on
the chance of hitting something un-
seen Sometimes they are mines.
The risk of all these things is no-
thing to the thrill of meeting a Ger-
man patrol boat. Hearing the strokes
of a punt pole the Belgians crouch
tensely, the safely pins removed from
their bombs, until the German craft is
almost upon them. Then the bombs
are Hurled, and in the racking roar
that follows the Belgians slip away as
silently as they came.
• In No Man's Sea.
The strangest part of this strange
warfare is that getting back to their
own shore after such fights is compar-
atively without danger if there are no
star shells. The Germans in their
trenches are afraid of hitting their
own boat if they fire, and so are the
Belgians, for neither side -knows which
boat threw the bomb, which boat was
hit. m
There is only one way for Belgians
and Germans to get at each other on
land. Here and there raisedroads
run • from one line to the other,
isthmuses betweenthe pools of water.
These causeways, sole survivors of
Belgium's peaceful days in all that
war -blighted region, stand up like the
backbones of half submerged sea
monsters, seined with broken trees.
Out along the roads are Belgian and
German advanced posts, most of them "—

When it does the machine guns sweep

DO FISH FEEL PAIN?
It. Is Generally Thought That They
Do Not Suffer to Any Extent.
General opinion aifpears to—be' that
fish are almost insensible to pain.
A keen angler, who has had con-
siderable experience, states that, in
his opinion, which has only been ar-
)rived at after most careful observe-
, tion, fish are almost totally unable to
feel pain as we understand' it. •
"When, as a boy," he says, "I was
fishing. on the Leith, it was a com-
mon occurrence to hook, cast after
cast, a young salmon (known locally
as 'parr'), wl}ich, according to the
fishing regulations, we were required
to throw back into the river.
"As we were fishing 'for trout, these
young salmon became a great nuis-
ance, and in consequence were not re-
moved very carefully from the hook.
'Some ofthese, therefore, were rather
badly wounded when thrown back
into the water, and one would ' have
thought that they would lir lou until :.
they had recovered.
"One day when I was fishing this
river I actually hooked the same fish
on no less than three different occa-
sions.
"Since then I have gathered a con-
siderable amount of similar experi-
ence, and am firmly convinced that
fish pre practically insensible to pain."

THE CO.
WORKER IN A GREAT ENGLISH
MUNITION PLANT.
Pathetic Little Tale of a Girl's Devo-
tionto the Cause `
of Duty.
All her mates in the great munition
factory wondered why she worked
with such feverish energy.
She was not robust. They knew
that she was married, that her man
was "out yonder," that she had no
one dependent upon her, and that she
kept herself to herself, sharing none
of their joys and pleasures, but ever
ready to help bear another's burden;
ever ready with that practical help
which is worth a pound of pity, says.
an English writer.
But all appeals to her for assist-
ance and advice had to be made out
of working hours. From the instant
she "clocked on" for her particular
shift until,' weary anw worn, she
"clocked off," she did not and would
not waste a moment.
And somehow the quiet resolution,
the grim tenacity, the almost white -
heat concentration of this woman ,on
her work exercised a beneficent influ
ence -in her shed, which percolated
even to the most flippant among that
band of workers.
Her form was frail and thin. Her
outdoor clothing was of the plainest
description. She mystified them.

Why, they asked themselves again

feverish energy? Why did her plain,

with radiant enthusiasm as she bent
lovingly over"'her shells? That she,
was not miser, they knew, for she
was generous to a fault, so that she
was not working like a slave, harder
than all the others, to earn the extra
pay.
The excellence of her work began
to be talked about. In none of the
shells she handled was there ever the
slightest suspicion of a flaw. Inspec-
tors, out of mere curiosity, had sub-
jected her work to the most search-
ing tests, and had found it blameless.
And how utterly impervious she
seemed to the influence of the injuri-
ous ingredients she had to use. Cor-
dite, lyddite, chloroform, nitro-gly-
cerine, poisonous, noxious fumes,

STRENUOUS WORK

Business Men and Breadwinners
the Victims of Nervous e
Exhaustion. 4
When worry is added to overwork
men soon become the victims of ner-
vous exhaustion—neurasthenia—the

strength in their systems to bear the
strain; others overtax what strength
they have. If you find that you are
nervous and not sure of yourself, that
you sleep badly, and wake up tired and
the shells were silent.
Came one morning when she did not
.appear at the factory. There was
quite a commotion. Everybody was
speculating what had happened to
her. She had never lost a minute
since she started, and she had work-
ed every hour of overtime the author-
ities had permitted.
When night came one of the _wo-
men to whom she had been except,
tonally good went to her lodgings to'
see what was the matter. She found
her ill—desperately ill. Nature had
at length rebelled.
The Reason Why.
The woman's yellow -hued cheeks
were sunken and hollow. She was so
weak that she could scarcely put out
a hand to greet her visitor. There.
was no lack of comforts in the room,
and a doctor had been; but the pain
in the woman's face was pitiable to
behold. And it was not physical pain,
but mental agony, caused by her en-
forced inaction.
The women talked, as women will.
At first the invalid was reticent and
evaiive. Gradually the visitor work-
ed the conversation round into inti-
mate channels. She spoke of home
life, of life before the war, and of
dear ones at the front, and at last
learned what she wished to know.
Why did this woman work so ter•-
'ribly hard? Why did she turn ottt a
larger number of shells than any
other woman in the shed? Why did
she take such a pride in her work?
Why was she so particular that every
shell which passed through her hands
should be so perfect?
The woman on the bed turned a
radiant face to her visitor. .The• old
enthusiastic look leapt back into her
ey"s.
I'11 tell you, Sarah!" she answered
happily. "My man's a gunner! He
may use some of the shells I fill!"
Just that; nothing more. But it
was understood by the woman at the
bedside, just as you and I will under-
stand.

and notwithstanding the doctor's treat-
ment grew so weak that I had to
leave my business and was. confined to
the house. Time went on and I was
steadily growing weaker, and my
friends were all greatly alarmed for
my condition. In this condition I
was strongly recommended to try Dr.
Williams' Pink ,,,Pills, and as the
doctor's medicine was not helping me
I decided to do so. By the time I
had used three boxes I could tell that
they were helping me. When I had
taken eight boxes of the pills I felt
able to attend to my business again,
and people were surprised to see me
out, • I continued the use of the pills
until I had taken twelve boxes, by
which time I was feeling as well as
ever I did, and was being congratulat-

storation to health. I feel now that
if I had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
at the outset I would not only have
saved much money spent in doctor's
bills, but would have had renewed
health sooner. I cannot speak too
highly of this medicine, and would re-
commend it to every man who feels
weak, nervous or run down."

THE REGIMENTAL MOTTO.
Tells How it Came Into Existence
and Relates Some Anecdotes.
If you look at the badge of a regi-
ment, you will generally find in it a
word or short sentence expressing
some guiding principle or idea. That
is me—the motto.
I may be in English, French, Ger-
man; Gaelic, or Welsh—examples in
all these languages are, in fact, pos-
sessed by British regiments—but us-
ually I am in Latin, and I often give
a clue to territorial connections, mili-
tary exploits, etc.
Originally I came from the motto
of a particular family, which was
sometimes nothing more than the war -
cry of its remote ancestors. Such a
motto is the "Esperance" (hope) of
the Northumberland Percys, famous
it Border fighting. It rang high
above the din of battle in many a
bloody conflict between English and
Scots.
But in more recent times S became
of territorial or other significance.
Look at the regiments whose motto is
that of their own city or county. The
.Devonshire Regiment, for instance,
bears "Semper Fidelis" (ever faith-
ful), the motto of the city -of Exeter.
In other cases the mottoes of par-
ticular regiments were given to them
for military achievements. "Celer et
audax" (swift and bold) the King's
Royal Rifles owes to Wolfe, and the
unique possession of the Worcester-
shire Regiment—"Firm"—appears to
have a similar origin.
It was formally conferred, with new
colors, after the Peninsular War.
So, again, with "Primus in Indis"
(first in, the Indies), the motto of the
Dorset Regiment, This famous corps,
formerly the 39th Foot, was the first
European regiment of the Regular
Army in India, and to it fell the task
of avenging the horror of the Black
I•Iole of Calcutta.
The most remarkable motto which
commemorates military achievement
is that of the Duke of Wellington's
Regiment, the only one in the British
Army bearing the name of a person
not of royal blood, fir the first bat-
talion, the old 38rd Foot, Wellington
Omit many years, and on his death—
in 1852•—Queen Victoria, wishing to
mark her appreciation of this connec-
tion, ordered that the regiment should
adopt his crest and motto for its
badge, The motto is "Virtutis Ior-
tuna comes" (Virtue is the companion
of valor).

UNTYING THE RED TAPE.
How the Commanding Officer Got
What He Wanted.
Since the chief requirement in a
torpedo-boat destroyer is speed, speed,
and yet more speed, it has always been
the aim of naval constructors to keep
the fittings of such vessels as light
as is consistent with strength and to
dispense with all fittings that are not
absolutely necessary.
Sometime in the year 1904, says
Lieut. F. H. Roberts in the Army and
Navy Journal, a flotilla of destroyers
sailed from the Atlantic to the Philip-
pines by way of the Mediterranean and
the Suez Canal. It so happened that
the commanding officer of one of the
destroyers weighed about two hun-
dred and thirty pounds. His two as-
sistants, both of them ensigns, each
weighed more than two hundred
pounds. Out of a half dozen petty of-
ficers three were heavyweights, and in
the crew were two or three others of
the same size,
When the flotilla arrived in the
Philippines the weather was hot and
sultry, and the sun kept the steel
deck of the vessel like a stove. , The
vessel's original allowatrce list had in-
cluded one electric fan, and so the
commanding officer immediately sub-
mitted a requisition asking that a fan
ISSUE No. 27--'17.
be furnished for the wardroom and one
in each compartment in which the crew
were quartered, five fans• in all.
The request in due time reached
Washington, and some three months
later was returned disapproved, since
the bureau "did not wish to add any
unnecessary weight to the vessel for
fear of reducing its speed."
Nothing daunted, the commanding
officer returned the requisition with a
statement thereon of the weights of
himself, his two commissioned assist-
ants and other members of the crew,
and requested that one or two of the
heavyweights be transferred, and that
a man weighing about ono hundred
and fifty pounds be assigned to his
place, and further requested that the
disapproval 'of his requisition be re-
considered, Needless to say, the fans
were forthcoming and no one was
transferred, not even the command-
ing officer!
