Drawn by Corporal Charles M. Acker, Company G, 53rd. Infantry Chickamauga Park, Ga. CANNON MADE OF ICE Some ingenlus workmen in Petrograd more than 175 years ago carved six large cannon out of blocks of Ice, turned them in lathes and bored them for six-inch shells, ^nd they actually fired salutes from them. The ice cannon were sufficiently strong to withstand the explosion of nearly 2,000 grains of real gunpowder. All of which goes to prove that improvising is not entirely new. Whether the use of the expression "cold steel" can be traced back to these ice cannon is another matter. SHRAPNEL HELMETS NEEDED Air raids by German aviators flying over the part of France in which the American headquarters are located have become so frequent that shrapnel helmets have been issued to all the clerks and other employees for their protection. Flanders Veteran 1 Peace Before "Beware of German peace ofTers! Beware of this trumped-up talk of German strikes! Don't think it's true. Remember Kipling's warning, 'Make ye no peace with Adam-Zad, the bear that walks like a man.' " This was the message brought straight from the French front to ? mnnlna fcu Tamoo MfPlllloch ? HI in ing engineer of Butte. Montana, who went over to Europe to fight as soon after the Germans had marched into Belgium as he could get there. He sailed from New York on August 13, 1914, nine days after England declared war. He has fought ever since then, except when he lay wounded in the hospital. Only Survivor of Fourteen Fourteen Americans went over with him to take a. hand in things. Eleven of them lie dead in Flanders. One of them was sent home disabled months ago, and one, between life and death, is in a hospital in Aldershot. James McCulloch is the last of that little group of offhand idealists. "About thirty-four years old," the passport he took to England read. The James McCulloch who returned CO mo UXIllOU OKilCD ID ttu wiu His hair, which the passport describes as dark brown, is gray. He has been twice badly wounded, and he has suffered most of all from gas shock. But he has never been afraid, except of one thing. "The fellows who are fighting at the front have Just one big fear now," he said. "They are afraid that an easy peace will be patched up with Germany, and that this whole thing will have to be gone through with again a dozen years from now. "All that we've done is wasted if the next generation has to do it all over. We've paid the price once, and once is enough. We fought thinking that we werp making the world safe for the kids, and if the politi-i... ihAio shn Hnn'f know what they're doing make peace before there can be any peace, we haven't gained a thing." An Heroic Highlander "I saw something over there on the battlefield that Kipling would have loved to write a poem about, I'll bet. It tickles me yet whenever I think of it. It was after the battle, and a little Highlander, four feet nothing or so, had got hung up on the barb wire entrenchments.
