Are You Reacting? The Biggest Newspaper Serial Feature Since the Beginning of the War! “Over the Top” By SERGEANT ARTHUR GUY EMPEY. The TIMES has been fortunate enough to secure the aerial rights to this great story, the most talked-of of the hour. Fur a year and a half, until he fell wounded in No Man's Land, this American soldier saw more actual fighting and real warfare than any war correspondent who ha* written about the war. His experiences are grim, but they are thrilling and lightened by a touch of humor as original as the Soldiers Three. And they are true. "Over the Top” is the first story by one of the American soldiers who went to France, has been a real combatant and has seen long service in the trenches. Sergeant Empey tells what it actually means and feels Uk * : a**J4 to be wounded seven times; to live for a year and a half with mud and rats and shells; to be covered with "cooties” and never get rid of them; to go over the top in a charge; to grasp for your gas helmet when a second's daisy death; to capture a Prussian; to get tangled up in barb-wire with tha! machine gun wording a few yards away; to lie for thirty-six hours wounded and unconsciowi in "No Man’s Land." Then besides the dramatic moments, one wants in these day.- of our own getting ready, to know about the actual work itaelt "Over the Top” tells how to make and throw bombs: dig and consolidate trenches; use barb-wire; cut the enemv'» barb-wire at night so as not to betray your presence; work machine guns; bring up rations; charge; drain trenches; make maps; execute spies; go on lbtening post; or attend to all parts of the day's work as they do it now in France. And then in relief there are true accounts of the fuu and comradeship of the trenches, for there are eompen.iationfl for all the hardships. Empey is now on the lecture platform and ia thrilling audiences all over the country. His story and his talks liave inspired more men, perhaps, to enter the fight fur humanity than the work of any single individual. Noto Running—Page 3

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNEP. cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR ba employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or his point of view.
