I waa standing In a communication

line trenches with a crster c ued by
the eiploilon of a mine. All around
me men of the third line were coming

up and down, bringing up new timbers,
reels of barbed wire, ladders, cases of
ammunition, machine guns, trench
mortars all the things that make an
army look like a general store on legs.
The noise of the guns waa Just deaf
ening. Our own shells passed not far
above our heads, so close were the
enemy trenches, and the explosion
were so near and so violent that w nen

on us, and then our own machine guns
began ahead of us. "
Dp toward. the, front the bombers
were Ashing- ft their bags and throw
ing, Just like boys after a rat along
the docks. The black smoke from the
"Jack Johnsons" rolled over us and
probably there was gas, too, but you
could not tell. " '
,' The front lines had taken ' tflelr
trenchea and gone on and yon could
see them, when you stood on a pan
pet running about like hounds through
the enemy communication trenches,
bombing out dugouts, disarming pris
oners very scary-looking in . their
masks and goggles. The wounded
were coming back slowly. Then ws

and communication trenches" and Are
bayi, with bayonets and bombs, dig
ging the Bochea out and sending them
"west" And every once In a while a
Frl on one side would step out and
yell 'Rnmerad," while, like as not, on
the other "side, his pal would pot yon
with a revolver when yon started to
pick htm up, thinking he was w.nucft
' Then we stood aside at the entrance
tQ a "dugout and soma Bochea . came
out In single fllo shouting "Kamerad"
for aU they were) worth. One of them
had hit mask and face blown off; yet
ha wai trying to talk, with the tears
rolling dowia over the raw flesh. He
died Av mrautea later.
One tabght while I waa lying back In
the rmncb trying not to think of any
thing and go to aleep the bombs began
to fet pretty thick around there, and
-hen I could not stand Jt any longer
1 rushed out Into the bny of the Are
trench and right up against the pira
pet, where It was safer.
Hundreds of star shells were being
sent up by both sides nnd tbo field
eud the trenches were as bright cs
cloy. All up and down the trenches
our men were dodging about, keeping
out of the way of the bombs that
were being thrown In our faces. It
did not seem ns if there was any plnce
where It wc possible to get cover.
Most of the time I was picking dirt out
of my eyes that explosions hsd driven
Into them.
