From an Eton Lad
Thompson Berry Sends Trench Paper4
"The Spiker," to His Omaha Friends
i AN YOU imagine a khaki-clad Sammy, the rain dripping off his trench

ups, reading oi. mc wcuumj ui ivuss r.uici xiarninan, wnne me sneus
burst over and around his trencli. So, this is not a dream, because it really
could happen and probably has.
In the'trench newsaper, "The Spiker," is found a real society "write-.up"
of the wedding, orange blossoms and all. And they even described what the
groom worel Ihompson Dorsey-iserry, a former Omaha boy, who is with
the telephone unit in t ranee, sends tnis little magazine back to friends in j
Omaha. Probably one of the most interesting features of this trench periodi
cal is a page devoted to letters from two of the "nicest girls in Los Angeles,"
tvnorn tne eauor naa asuea 10 nna oiner gins to write to tnese lonely soldiers.
The girls are described in a very clever way, one widow is said to be "five
feet two and three in French heels." and she wears "vampish looking
black loop earrings." After these vivid descriptions the letter always ends,
Her address is- .
"Ask 'The Spiker.' " One letter is signed "Betty," and underneath is writ
ten "It'll be useless to ask 'The Spiker' for Betty's address. He has already
elected himself."
A department for the love-lorn is also included, letters from a Sammy
to his mother, cartoons, a company "Gabby," little -tales on the boys, clever
little poems and stories are all to be found between the covers of the
"Spiker."
It is hards to realize that the youthful editors are not carefree college
boys instead of soldiers fighting for Uncle Sain, for they still find time and
inclination to write these witty little bits for their paper.

Private Peal Says
Hun Cannot Break
Through the Line
Like all war lecturers. Private Peat,
who speaks Monday evening in the
Auditorium under the auspices of the
Nebraska base hospital and the City
Mission, is constantly asked, "When
will the war end?'" and "Can the Ger
mans break through?"
He doesn't pretend to know the
former, but he is very emphatic on the
latter point. "If the Hun couldn't
break through in 1914-15, when we
held that line with raw recruits, mess
boys, transport men and cooks, when
the odds were 10 to 1, what chance
has he now? None. Why, in those
early days we had practicatly no big
guns. The Hun could strafe us all he
wanted to and if we a.ked our bat
teries to reply, the only answer we
got was, 'Awfully sorry, but you have
had your allowance of shells for the
day.' And we had to suffer. But it
is different now. The Germans can
not break through."

nounces that all women of the labor
auxiliaries are to meet at Labor Tem
ple at 1 o'clock, from thence to pro
