.FOREWORD
"Over the Top" is a true
story of trench warfare on
the French front, written by
an American -soldier who
got into the great war two
years ahead of his country.
Sergeant Empey tells what
the fighting men have done
and how they have done it.
He knows because he was
one of them. His experi
ences are grim, but they are
thrilling, and they are light
ened by a delightful touch of
humor.
CHAPTER I.
-1-
From Mufti to Khaki.
It was In an office in Jersey City.
I wns sitting at my desk talking to
a lieutenant of the Jersey National
Guard. On the wall was a big war
map decorated with variously colored
little flags showing the position of the
opposing armies on the western .front
In France. In front of me on the desk
lay a New York paper with big flarlngr
headlines:
LUSITANIA SUNK! AMERICAN
LIVES LOST!
The windows were open and a feel
ing of spring pervaded the air.
Through the open windows came the
strains of a hurdy-gurdy playing in the
etreet "I Didn't. Raise My Boy to Be
a Soldier."
"Lusltanla Sunk! American Lives
Lost !" "I Didn't "Raise My Boy to
Be a Soldier." To us these did not
seem to jibe.
The lieutenant In silence opened one
of the lower drawers of his desk and
took from it an American flag which
he solemnly draped over the -war map
on the wall. Then, turning to me with
a grim face, said :
N "How about It, sergeant? Yoif had
better get out the muster roll of the
Mounted Scouts, as I think tbey will
be needed In the course of a few days."
We busied ourselves till late In the
evening writing out emergency tele
grams for the men to report when the
call should come from Washington.
Then we went home.
. I crossed over to New York, and as
I went up Fulton street to take the
subway to Brooklyn, the lights in the
tall buildings of New York seemed to
be burning brighter than usual, as if
t'hey, too, had read "Lusitania Sunk !
American Lives Lost!" They seemed
!'o be glowing with anger and righteous
hdignation, and their rays wigwagged
the message, "Repay !"
Months passed, the telegrams lying
bandy, but covered with dust. Then,
one momentous morning the lieutenant
with a sigh of disgust removed the
flag from the war map and returned
to his desk. I Immediately followed
this action by throwing the telegrams
into the wastenasket. Then we looked
at each other In silence. He was
squirming in bis chair and I felt de
pressed and uneasy.
The telephone rang and I answered
It. It was a business call for me, re
questing my services for an out-of-
town assignment. Business was not
.very 'good, so this was very welcome,
After listening to the proposition I
seemeu to De swayea Dy a peculiarly
ethng force within me, and answered,
"I am sorry that I cannot accept your
offer, but I am leaving for England
next week," and hung up the receiver
The lieutenant swung around In his
chair, and stared at me in blank aston
ishment. A sinking sensation came
over me, but I defiantly answered his
look with, "Well, it's so. I'm going."
And I went.
The trip across ,was uneventful. I
landed at Tilbury, England, then got
Into a string of matchbox cars and
proceeded to London, arriving there
about 10 p. m. I took a room In a hotel
near St. Pancras Station for "five and
six fire extra." The room was minus
the fire, but the "extra" seemed to
keep me warm. - That night there was
a Zeppelin raid, but I didn't see much
,of it, because the slit In the curtains
was too small and I had no desire to
make It larger. Next morning the tel
ephone bell rang, and someone asked,
"Are you there?" J was, hardly." Any
way, I learned that the Zeps had re
turned -to their fatherland, so I went
out Into the street expecting to see
scenes of awful devastation and a cow
ering populace, but everything was
normal. People were calmly proceed
ing to their work. Crossing the
street, I accosted a Bobbie with : )
x "Can you direct me to the place of
damage?" , -';
He asked me, "Wttat damage?"
In surprise, I answered, "Why, the
i 1 d-V, Tono "
! With a wink he replied :
"There was no damage; we missed
them again."
After several fruitless Inquiries of
the passersby,, I decided to go on my
own in search of ruined buildings and
scenes of destruction. I boarded a bus
which carried me through Tottenhnm
Court road. Recruiting posters were
everywhere. The one that Impressed
me most was a life-size picture of
Lord Kitchener with his finger point
ing directly at me, under the caption
of "Your King and Country Need You."
No matter which way I turned, the
accusing finger followed me. I was
an American, In mufti, and had a little
American flag In the lapel of my coat.
I had no king, and my country had
seen fit not to need me, but still that
pointing finger made me feel small and
111 at ease. I got ofT the bus to try
to dissipate this feeling by mixing
with the throng of the sidewalks.
Presently I came to a recruiting of
fice. Inside, sitting at a desk was a
lonely Tommy Atkins. I decided to In
terview him in regard to Joining the
RriHah urmv T nnenert the door. He
hooked up and greeted me with "I s'y,
myte, want to tyke on 7 '
T looked nt him and answered. "Well.
whatever that Is, 111 take a chance
at it" .
Without thA nld of an interpreter. I
found out that Tommy wanted to know
if I cared to join the British army, tie
nslrort mo- "Did von ever hear of the
Royal Fusiliers r Well, In London,
you know, Yanks are supposed to Know
everything, so I was not going to ap
pear Ignorant and answered, "Sure."
After listening for one half-hour to
Tommy's tale of their exploits on the1
firing line, I decided to Join. Tommy
took me to the recruiting headquarters,
where I met a typical English captain.
He asked my nationality. I Immedi
ately pulled out my American passport
and showed it to him. It was signed
Guy Empey.
by Lansing. After looking at the
passport, he Informed me that he was
sorry but could not enlist me, as it
would be a breach of neutrality. I
Insisted that I was not neutral, be
cause to me It seemed that a real
American could not be neutral when
big things were in progress, but the
captain would not enlist me.
With disgust in my heart. I went out
in the street. I had gone about a
block when a recruiting sergeant who
had -followed me out of the office
tapped me on the shoulder with his
swagger stick and said: "S'y, I can
get you In the army. We have a lef
tenanf down at the other office who
can do anything. He has Just come
out of the O. T. C. (Officers' Training
corps) and does not know what neu
trality Is." I decided to take a chance,
and accepted his invitation for an In
troduction to the lieutenant. I entered
the office and went up to him, opened
up my passport and, said :
"Before going further I wish to state
that I am an American, not too proud
to fight, and want to join your army."
He looked at me in a nonchalant
manner, and answered, "That's all
right; we take anything over here."
I looked at him kind of hard and re
plied, "So I notice," but it went over
his head.
. He got out an enlistment blank, and
placing his finger on a blank line said,
"Sign here." t " -
I answered, "Not on your tintype."
"I beg your pardon?" .
Then I explained to him that I would
not sign it without first reading it I
read It over and signed for duration of
war. Some of the recruits were lucky.
They signed for seven years only!
Then he asked me my birthplace. 1
answered, "Ogden, Utah."
He said, "Oh, yes, Just outside or
With a smile, I replied, "W ell, ltls up
the state a little."
Then I was taken before the doctor
and passed as physically fit and wns
Issued a uniform. When I reported
back to the lieutenant, he auggestod
that, being an American, I go on re
cruiting service and try to shame some
of the slackers Into Joining tho army."
"All you have to do," he said, "Is to
rn nut on the street, and when you see
a young fellow In muftl who looks
physically fit. Just stop nm ana give
him this kind of a talk: 'Aren't you
ashamed of yourself, a Britisher, phys
ically fit, and In muftl when your king
and country need you? Don't you
know that your country Is at war and
that the place for every young Briton
la on the flrlrtsc line? Here I am, an
American, In khaki, who came four
thousand miles to fight for your king
nnd countrv. and you. as yet have not
enlisted. Why don't you Join? Now
Is the time.'
"This armraeut ought to get many
recruits, Empey, so go out and see
what you can do."
TT then cave me a small rosette
red, white and blue ribbon, with three
little streamers Imnglng down, mis
was the recruiting Insignia and was
to be worn on the left side of the cap.
Armed with a swaccer stick and my
patriotic rosette, I went out Into Tot
tenham Court road In quest of cannon
fodder.
Two or three poorly, dressed civil
lans passed me, and although they ap
peared physically fit I said to myseir,
"They don't want to Join the army;
perhaps they have someone dependent
on them for support," bo I did not ac
cost them.
Coming down the Btreet I saw
vnnnff dnndv. ton hat nnd all. with
fashionably dressed girl walking be
side him. I muttered. "You are my
meat," and when he came abreast of
me I stepped directly in his path and
stopped him witn my swagger sncK
savinc:
"You would look fine In khaki ; why
not change that top hat for a steel
helmet? Aren't you ashamed of your
self, a husky young chnp like you In
muftl when men are needed In the
trenches? Here I am, an American,
came four thousand miles from Ogden,
ntnh. lust outside of New York, to
fight for your king and country. Don't
be a slacker, buck up and get into uni
form; come over to the recruiting of
fice and Til have you enlisted."
He yawned and answered, "I don't
care If vou came" forty thousand miles.
no one asked you to," and he walked
on. The girl gave me a sneering loo ;
I wns sneechless.
I recruited for three weeks and near
ly got one recruit
This nerhaDS was not the . greatest
stunt in the world, but it got back at
the officer who had told me, "Yes, we
take anvthlne over here." I had been
spending a good lot of my recruiting
time In the saloon bar of the wheat
Sheaf pub (there was a very attractive
blonde barmaid, who helped kill time
I was not as serious in those days as
Twmi little later when I reached
the front) well, It was the sixth day
and my recruiting report was blank.
I was (retting low In the pocket bar
maids haven't much use for anyone
who cannot buy drinks so I looked
around for recruiting material. You
know a man on recruiting service gets
a "bob" or shilling for every recruit
h entices Into iolninsr the army, the
recruit is supposed to get this, but he
would not be a recruit If he were wise
to this fact, would he?
Down at the end of. the bar was a
young fellow in muftl who was very
patriotic he had about four "Old
Six" ales aboard. He asked me If he
could Join, showed me his left hand,
two fingers were missing, but I said
that did not matter as "we take any
thing over here." The left hand is
the rifle hand as the piece is carried
at the slope on the left shoulder. Near
ly everything in England is "by the
left," even general trafflc keeps to the
port side.
I took the applicant over to head
quarters, where he was hurriedly ex
amined. Recruiting surgeons were
busy in those days and did not have
much time for thorough physical exam
inations. My recruit was passed as
"fit" by the doctor and turned over to
a corporal to make note of his scars.
I was mystified. Suddenly the corpo
ral burst out with, "Bllme me, two of
his fingers are gone." Turning to me
he said, "You certainly have your
nerve with you, not 'alf you ain't to
bring this beggar In."
The doctor came over and exploded,
''What do you mean by bringing In a
man In this condition?"
Looking out of the corner of my eye
I noticed that the officer who had re
cruited me had joined the group,' and
I could not help answering, "Well, sir,
I Was told that you took anything over
here."
I think they called It "Yankee Im
pudence," anyhow It ended my recruit
ing. . ,

"Newport News."
In Virginia's early days communica
tion with the mother country was, of
course, wholly by ships, and when one
was expected the colonists were all
eagerness for the news from home.
On the occasion of one, it may have
been the first, of a certain Captain
Newport's expected return from Eng
land, at or near the plape now bearing
his name, a large number of persons
collected to receive "Newport's news."
Hence the name, now shortened to It

Ing a new plantation this Is done.
Many grower having tin established
plantation propagate their own stock.
To propagate new plants, the lips
of the new canes of black raspberries
and of the purple varieties now under
cultivation should lie burled In moist
soil In late summer. I!y the following
spring, the tips will have rooted and
formed good plants. The cane then
should be severed, leaving four to
Ight Inches of cane with the new

If the lips of the canes of black ami
uirple varieties are pinched ff .when
they are about 12 Inches high, the
canes will branch freely and a large
number of tips for burying will be so
cured. With many growers the first
crop from both black and purple rasp
berry plantations is a crop of plants.
Ia fact, a large part of the plants dis
tributed by nurserymen are produced
In this way by raspberry growers, who
In turn sell them to nurserymen.
Ited raspberries send up new canes
from ttie base of the obi canes, as do
black nnd purple varieties. In addi
tion, they send up suckers from un
derground roots at various distances
from the crown of the parent plant.
In starting a new plantation the strong
est of these suckers are used. If a
quantity of plants for selling Is needed

prove desirable to take tip all plants

Probably the best wash for apple

white lead. Remove the earth for a
distance of two to three Inches from
the base of the tree;- scrape off the
dirt and loose bark scales, and, afer
worming, apply to the exposed trunk a
thick, uniform contlng of the paint to
a distance of about one foot abova the
ground. Worming and painting should
be done annually nbout early May, be
