With the American Army In France,
April 10. (I. N. S.) An American prt
vate from Connecticut, who was form
erly a traveling salesman for a biscuit
firm, gave a graphic description today
of the sensations that a man under
toes when he enters battle for the
first time.
"It scares everybody," said the sol
dier. "Anyone who says he la not
frightened la certainly a fibber. When
I heard my first shell I fell flat In
the trench and expected death at any
minute. My first Impulse was to pray
for the salvation of my soul. My next
thouKht was of my mother. The period
of fright lasted about five minutes.
,-Then. I lifted my head and began to
look around. My comradV on my left
told me he had the same feeling.
Shells were exploding all around. After
a while I grew less scared and became
desperately anxious to get at the
Germans. I talked with many fellows
who had been in the first line trenches,
and all had had the same experience.
Maay Experience Like Sentatloas
"All had an Impulse to rush at the
enemy. I can remember my school
days w,hen I could not bear to kill even
an Insect nor could I bear the sight
of blood. 1 1 thought I could never
learn td kill a man. But this idea soon ,
changes at the front and all are eager
for .a mlxup.
"The spirit of the men is wonderful.
They could fight their weight in wild
cats. The Americans will certainly
live up to all the traditions of their
army when they get their innings.
"After an excursion In No Man's
Land, one of our fellows was missed.
'It's too bad to leave Jack out there,'
said his bunkle. He and several others,
begged an officer to go back and -search
for him. They found Jack burled waste
deep in mud and unable to get out.
The boys saved him from the Germans,
who - undoubtedly would have captured
Mm at daybreak and perhaps would
have silt his throat, as they had done
to others.' Jack was very happy whn
he reached our trenches, but he looked
like a clay man."
Private Eddie Creed of South Boston,
a son of a Judge of the Boston munici
pal -court, was a happy man today.
He was ordered j home as the represen
tative of his unit on a special mission

Isdendorff Dislikes Term 'Propaganda
The Austrian high command is grant
ing leaves of - absence to farmers and
foresters during the lull in Austria's
war activities to take care of the crops
this spring. It was learned today.
Leaves of absence In the Austrian
army are now said to be more numer
ous than ever before. The great num
ber of them gave rise to inquiries in
the reichsrath. which brought out the
response that "Austria's future food
needs will be taken care of even if
soldiers had to be employed for the
purpose."
A German army document signed
Ludendorff and pointing out that "the
term propaganda is subjected to un
fortunate interpretations," has fallen
into the hands of the Americans. Lu
dendorff (who. Is chief of staff of Von
Hlndenburg) advises the substitution
of the' words "patriotic instruction."
I.udendorff further directs that em
phasis bo laid upon thto submarine
warfare and the present battle in troop
