"A privata of tha Boyal llighland ara," aays tha diapatch, "talla how ha and a number of comradaa, conaiat ing of ona officer and 16 man, 10 of whom wara wounded, wara com pal lad to surrender naar Monchy, March 28. Thay wara lined ap in tha original front lina trench, and aftar aoma time a Garman officer and two man appear ad. One of themen undar order* of tha aAcer turned a at ream of liquid flra atraight down the trench in which tha Britiabara ware standing and not withatanding tha fact that they ware unarmed continued to apray them for! aix or aavan minutaa. Tha private tea tilled that he and a faw of hia com-' panions who were able to move scrambled down to a communication trench and got over tha top and back | into the British linea. Another private tenUned that he i and other prisoners were marched down a trench to an emplacement about >ix feet deep, nine feet wide and from nine to 12 fact long and while tightly packed in the enclosure two Germans, one of whom carried a re- ^ volver and seemed to be an officer, ap peared. The other man had a cylin der on his back and attached to it was a flexible pipe. " 'Just as he reached the entrance to the enclosure,' said the soldier refer ring to the man with the cylinder on hia back, 'a flame spurted out in a stream from the pipe and caught the men who were nearest ts the entrance The other men lay in heaps around and partly on me. I heard a hissing | sound for a short while, then it stop-1 ped, but started again. During this; time the men were shrieking and| writhing. The flame reached right J gack to where I was. My overcoat and tunic caught Are. By this time, all the men were on the ground/ "The soldier added that he manag- ( ed to crawl up the slope and get away. "Another soldier related how an of ficer, wounded in the head and foot, and four other wounded and three un wounded men, including himself, were in an old trench when two German appeared and used liquid fire. One of the Germans, revolver in hand, order ed the Britisher* to get back to the German line. The narrator said his hands and right ear were burned. Three of the party managed to escape and reach the British lines, but the Germans either must have suffocated; or burned all the five wounded men.! as nothing further had been heard , from them." And 'yet there are a few people in this country and in England termed pacifists who would "negotiate peace" with that sort of a crowd. It is to: end the horror of this sort of thing j forever; to make the world safer for j generations to come that the armies; of the civilized world are now facing j the horde of Hun savages and who | will continue to face them or drive them until righteous peace is made and Germany learns to respect the rights of small nations and peoples. It is to end forever the cruelties and outrages practiced by the Huns in this war and 13,000,000 more American citizens will soon register for war and ' which caused the President to decree that the flow of soldiers across the ocean would not cease until this is ac complished.—Greensboro News.

Juat aa tto building indnatry haa practically reaaed, except for goveriuaent purpoaaa or atoolute nooda, other induatriaa will hava te follow, releaaing Ban and material a. For montha, indaad avar ainca tto beginning of tto war, thia rouatry haa drifted in comparative comfort, with nothing mora than aporadic at tempte to curb extravagancaa, to curtail un nacaaaary buainaaa, and te aara ma terial eaaential te tha carrying on of the war. Meanwhile, the demanda for material for thia country and for France and for countriea which may not now be named having been ln rraaaing at a rate that haa made tto War Induatriaa Board extremely an xioua aa to how they were to to met. Thia haa been practically true of a teal the moot important of all the war materiala. Scarcity of wool ia an other item which haa cauaed grave concern. There ia not enough wool in thia country to moat military ra quirementa, much leaa to meet the or dinary civilian naada. There ia enough wool in the world but not enough (hip ping now, or in proapect, to cat it hare. . IjiRor is pfrnap* ma raon aencaLe and the Mont difficult element of th« entire situation, the crux of all pro duction and distribution. The turn over, the shifting the replacement and readjustment of labor to meet the new demands cannot he accomplished without some loss of time and effi ciency. In the face of the draft, with its further inroads into the ranks of labor, including that which la needed for the turning out of war necessities the problem becomes even more com plicated. Even before this country had en tered the war there was a great in dustrial demand on behalf of the Allies, and this is continuing and is added to the task which confront* America. There is this crest of pro duction which must be scaled before the necessary adjustments ran en able as ot cake care of the output satisfactorily. As a part of this great' effort which ia immediately demanded of Ameria, there must be sacrifice, not only the r'rsonal sacrifice such as Mr. McAdoo typified in speaking of patched trousers and half-soles, and which caused so much merri ment, but sacrifices of business suc cess and of preferred work. The mere fact that the Allies are recording successes make the demand for steel and other material greater, for as the allies armies push forward they must build new railroads and have more locomotives, they must re pair roads and bridges and they must improve their new positions and pre pare to push on to others. If there are defects it still means more ma terial, for then property is destroyed. Kven if we "feel in our present ela tion that there are going to be no more defeats, preparation must be made for extending lines and hold ing longer ones. The people at home must sacrifice more than they have yet done to make this possible. It is not a question of money. The rich must do without as well as the poor, for the army claims the material and machinery needed for production. The question has been brought up as to what will happen to the fac tories and plants which under the new ruling of the Priorities Commit tee, will have no standing in apply ing for fuel, labor or material*. Will they have to go out of business imme diately, at tremendous loss, or will they be given a week or a month or three months in which to effect read justment? That is a problem that has not yet been solved. It is evident that neither the War Industries Board nor any other branch of thegovernment would want to work a greater hard ship than was necessary in any branch A Hiliou* Attack.
