CHAPTER XXV-Prltlah prepare for

When w took over tha front tlno
w received an awful shock. Tbe
Oraians displayed slgnbounla over
the top of their trench bhowlni; the
iinnies that te had culled their
trenches. The slgna read "Fair,"
"Fnct," "Fnte," and "Kiincy." and a
on, according to the cod names on
our map. Then to rub It In, they
hoisted soma more signs which read.
"Coma on, wo ara ready, atupld Enf
nan."
It la atlll a mystery to me how they
obtained this knowledge. There had
been no raids or prisoners taken, so
It must have been .tba work of spies
In oar own lines.
Three or four dayi before the big
push wa tried to shatter Frlts's nerves
by feint attacks, and partially suc
ceeded as tbe official reports of July
1 show.
Although wa war constantly bom
barding their lines day and night, still
wa fooled tha Qermana several times.
This was accomplished by throwing
an Intense barmge Into hla lines
then using amoks sheila wa would put
a curtain of white smoke across No
Man's Land, completely obstructing
his view of our trenches, and
would raise our curtain of Ore
as if In sn actual attack. All
down our trencbea the men would
shout and cheer, and Frits would turn
loose with machine-gun, rifle, and
shrapnel fire, thinking we were com
ing over.
After three or four of these dummy
attacks his nerves . mast have been
near the breaking point '.,
On June 24, 1010, at :40 In the
morning our guna opened up, and hell
waa let loose. Tbe din was terrific, a
constsnt boom-boom-boom In your ear.
At night the sky waa a red glare.
Our bombardment had lasted about
two boors when Frits started reply,
tng. Although we were sending over
ten shells to bis one, our casualties
ware heavy. There was constant
stream of stretcher coming out of the
communication trenches . and burial
parties were a common sight
In the dugouts the noise of the guns
almost hurt. You bad the same sensa
tion as when riding on the subway you
enter the tube nnder the river going
to Brooklyn a sort of pressure on the
ear drums, and the ground constanUy
trembling. . .. ,.
The rouds behind the trenches were
very dangerous because Boche shrap
nel was constantly bursting over them.
We avoided these dangerous spots by
crossing through open fields. '
The destruction In the German lines
was awful and I really felt sorry for
them because 1 resllsed how they must
be clicking It
From our front-line trench, every
now nml ngnln, we could henr sharp
whistle blnsts In the German trenches.
These blasts were the signals for
stretcher benrers, and meant the
wounding or killing of some German In
the service of his fatherland.
Atwcll and I had a tough time of It
patrolling the different trenches at
IUTEB COUIDEB
night but after awhile got used to It
My old outfit, the mschlne gun com
pany, was ststloned In huge elepbsnt
dugouts about four hundred ysrds be
hind the front-line trench they were
In reserve. Ocrsslonslly I would stop
In their dugout snd hnve a confab with
my former maies. Although we tried
to be Jolly, still, there wss a lurking
feeling of Impending dlaaater. Kerb
man waa wondering, . If, after the
slogan, "Over the lop with the bent of
lurk," had hei-n sounded, would be still
be alive or would he be lying "some
where In France." In nn old illlnpldiited
hoase, the wall of which were scarred
with niiirblne-gun bullets. No, 8 sec
tion of the machine gun rompiiny had
Its quarters. The company's cooks pre
pared the fiicnl In this billet. On the
fifth evening of the bombardment a
'leruinn clk'lit-ltich ahcll reglalered a
direct hit on the billet snd wiped out
tn men who were ssleep In the sup
poiieiliy bomb-proof cellar. They were
hurled the next day snd I attended tbe
funeral.
CHAPTER XXVI.
All Quiet (!) en the We.urn Front
At tirltfnde !iem1cUiirtcr I happened
to ove rhenr a ronverantlon between our
O, 0. C. (general ollWr cotnmupdlng)
and the dlvlnlonnl commander. From
this converaiitlon I learned that we
were to bombard the German lines for
eight daya. and on tbe Urat of July tbe
"big pUHh" waa to commence.
In a few duya ordera were Issued to
Hint effect, and It waa common prop
erly nil along the line.'
On the afternoon of the eighth dny of
our "Ktrafelng," Atwcll und I were sit
ting In tbe front-line trench smoking
fugs snd nuiklug out our reports of the
previous night's tour of the trenches,
which we had to turn In to headquar
ters tbe following dny, when sn order
whs punned down the trench thnt Old
lepier requested twenty volunteers to
go over on a trench ruld that night to
try and get a few Gerrunn prisoners for
Information purposes. I Immediately
volunteered for this Job, und shook
hnnda with Atwell, and went to the
rear to give my name to the offlcera In
chur.'e of the raiding party.
I was accepted, worse luck.
At 0 :4.1 that night we reported to the
brigade headquarter dugout to receive
Instructions from Old Pepper.
After reaching thla dugout we lined
up In a semicircle sround hi in, snd he
addressed us as follows:
"All I wsnt yon boys to do Is to go
over to the Germsn lines tonight, sur
prise them, secure a couple of prison
ers, snd return Immediately. Our ar
tillery hua bombarded that section of
tbe line for two days and personally I
believe that that part of the German
trench Is unoccupied, so just get s cou
ple of prisoners snd return ss quickly
ss possible."
The sergeant on my right In sn un
dertone, whispered to me:
"Say. Tank, how are we going to get
a couple of prisoners If the old fool
thinks "personally that that part of the
trench Is unoccupied,' souuds kind of
flhy, doesn't It mate?"
' I hnd a funny sinking sensation In
my stoninrh. and my tin hnt felt as If
It weighed nlout a ton and my enthusl
nsm waj melting nwny. Old Pepper
must have heard Ihe sergeant speak
liecnuxe he turned In his direction and
In a thundering voice asked :
"What did you sayl"
The sergeant with a scarlet look on
his fare and his knees trembling,
smnrtly saluted and answered:
"Nothing, sir."
Old Pepper said:
"Well, dont say It so loudly the next
time."
Then Old Pepper continued :
"In this section of the German
trenches there are two or three ma
chine guns which our artillery, In the
last two or three days, has been un
able to tape. These guns command the
sector where two of onr communica
tion trenches Join the front line, and
ns the brigade Is to go over the top to
morrow morning I want to capture two
or three men from these guns' crews,
and from them I may be able to obtain
valuable Information as to the exact
location of the guns, snd our artillery
will therefore be able to demolish them
before the attack, and thus prevent
our losing a lot of men while using
these communication trenches to bring
up re-enforcements." ,
These were the Instructions' he gave
ns; , ...
."Take off your Identification disks,
strip your uniforms of all numerals,
Insignia, etc., leave your papers with
your .captains, because I dont want the
Bochea to know, what regiments are
against them as this would be valuable
Information to them In our attack to
morrow and I don't want any of you
to be taken alive. What I want Is two
prisoners and If I get them I have a
way which will make them divulge
alL necessary Information as to- their
guns. You ha ve your .choice of two
weapons you may carry your "per
suaders' or your knuckle knives, snd
each man will arm himself with four
Mills bombs, these to be used only In
case of emergency."
A persuader Is Tommy's nickname
for a club carried by the bombers. It
is shout two feet long, thin at one end
and very thick at the other. The thick
end Is studded with sharp steel spikes,
while through the center of the club
there Is nine-Inch lead bar, to give
It weight and balance. When you get
n prisoner all you have to do Is Just
stick this club up In front of him, and
believe me, the prisoner's patriotism
for "Dentsehlnnd ueber Alles" fades
away and he very willingly obeys the
orders of his enptor. If, however, the

persuader la demonstrated, and Tom
my looks for another prisoner. ' ;
The knuckle knife is a dagger affair,
the blade, of which Is about eight
lnchea long with a heavy steel guard
over the grip. This guard Is studded
with steel projections. At night in a
trench, which Is only about three to
four feet wide, It makes a very handy
weapon. One punch In tbe face gen
erally shatters a man's Jaw and yon
can get him with the knife as be goes
dowa,k
Then we had what we called our
"come-alongs.". These are strands of
bnrbed wire about three feet long,
made Into a noose at one end; at the
other end, the barbs are cut off and
Tommy slips his wrist through a loop
to get a good grip on the wire. If the
prisoner wants to argue the point why
Just place the large loop around his
neck and no matter If Tommy wishes
to return to his trenches at the walk,
trot or gallop, Frits Is perfectly agree
able to maintain Tommy's rate of
speed.
We were ordered to black our faces
and hands. For this reason ; At night,
the English and Germans nse what
they call star shells, a sort of rocket
affair. They are fired from a large
pistol about twenty Inches long, which
Is held over the sandbsg parapet of the
trench, and discharged Into tbe air.
These star shells attain a height of
about sixty feet, and a range of from
fifty to aeventy-flve yards. When they
hit the ground they explode, throwing
out a strong calcium light which lights
np the ground In a circle of a radius of
between ten to fifteen yards. . They
also have a parachute star shell which,
after reaching a height of about sixty
feet, explodes. A parachute unfolds
and slowly floats to the ground, light
ing up a Inrge, circle In No Man's Land,
The official iiame of the star shell is
a "Very-light." Very-lights are used
to prevent night surprise attacks-on
the trenches. If a star shell falls In
front of you. or between you and the
German lines, you are safe from detec
tion, as the enemy cannot see yon
through the bright curtain of light
But If It falls behind you and, as Tom
