Charlie is finally captured in a shell-tom French house. He makes his escape by turning the tables on the Ger mans, and, accompanied by the French girl who befriends him, he seeks refuge in what proves to be the headquar ters of the General Staff. The Kaiser, Crown Prince and von Hindenburg surprise him in an attack on a German officer, but Charlie saves the day for himself and the girl by wearing the uniform of his unconscious victim. He rescues his drill sergeant, also captured by the Huns, and together they conspire to escape. Their plan brings com plete confusion to headquarters, and shakes the German aritiy to its foundation. The irritation of cooties is guard ed against by the addition of a big nutmeg grater. This creates all manner of havoc when he hangs it on a conveni ent post in his dugout. Stories of the rat pest suggest a mouse trap as a protective measure, but serves only to get his fingers into endless difficulties when he attempts to salute while it is fastened to his kit. A bath tub and soap tray are included in his toilet accessories, bfft the use to which they are put, once Charlie is blown into the front line trench, is entirely different than the purpose for which they were manufactured. A phonograph invites relief from possible monotony. But Charlie learns that there is only one monotony in war, and that is the constant din of bursting shells. And his phonograph is not consti tuted to compete in volume of tone with the thunder of gunfire. A terrific rainHoods the dugout, and he discovers a practical use for the phonograph horn in saving him from drowning when lie is obliged to sleep with his head below water. An egg beater, coffee pot, jug and a multi tude of special pieces of equipment for his gun, bayonet nnd tent roll all find a place in his efforts to make trench life comfortable for himself to the misery of bis bunkies.
