Wo held tho Kltton for tweuty alx dixy a, which la the longest crlod that any Cnnadlan or llrltlah orgnutza. tloti has over remained In a front lino trench, In none of tho stories I've read have I over seen trench lighting na it wus curried on In Hclglom adequately de scribed. You see. you can't get much of an Idea about thing like that mak ing a quick tour of the trcm-hea uuder ottlclul direction nud curort aa tho nowspniHT nnd niagnxluo writers do. I couldn't undertake to tell anything worth whllo about tho big Ihruch of tiio war, but I ran descrltHt how soldiers huvo to Iciirn to tight In tho trenches, and I think a good many of our young follows huvo that to lenrii now, "Over tboro" thoy don't talk or peace, or oven of tomorrow. They alt back and tako it.

Wo hud 11 night sentry on each tiring step and 11 man sitting nt his feet to watch him to boo ho wasn't aecretly sniped Then wo bud 11 sentry In each "hay" of the trench to take messages.

Dunging on a string, at tho elbow of each scntrjr 011 the fire step was n siren wIiIhIIo or an empty ahelt oiso and a bit of Iron with which to ham mer on It. This, whichever It might he. was fur the purpoao of aprcndlng tho alarm In cnxo of a gas attack. Also wo had sentries In "listening K)ats," at vnrloua points from twenty to llfly jnrda out In "No Muu'a Land." Theae iiieu blackened their faces bo fore they went "over the top" anil then lay In shell hole or iiuturAl hollows. There wn alwuyn two of them, a bay onet 111 mi and a bomber. From tho llateulng pout 11 wire ran back to tho fire trench to bo used In signaling. In the trench a man sat with this wire wrapped around hla hand. One pull meant "All O K.." two pulls, "I'm coming hi," thn-c (iiiIIn, "Kuciuy In That 8yttm Worked Hrat Rato With Ua. sight," and four pulls. "Sound gaa alarm." The fire atep In a trench la a ahelf 011 which aoldlera stand to look out nud ahoot between the annd bags on top. In addition to these men, we had pa trol and vcouts out In "No Man'a Laud" tho greater part of the night, with orders 10 gain any Information Ksalblo which might be of value to battalion, brigade, division or general hcailaunrter., Thejr reported, on the condition of the Germans' barbed wire, the location of machlnu guns and oth er little thlugs like that which mlgiit Ik of Intorvst to aoaie commatullng olllevr twenty miles back. Also they were ordered to make every otTort to capture auy of the enemy'a scouts or patrols, o that we could get Informa tion from them. One of the Interentlng momenta Iu this work came when a star aholl caught you out hi an open aHt. If you moved you were gone. I've seeu men tttnnd 011 one foot for the thirty seconds during which a star shell will bum. Then when scouIn or patrols met in "No Man's Ijnd" they always had to tight It out with bayo nets.

For fifteen minutes at dawn and duk tho Germans used to send over "whli bangs." "coal boxes" nnd "mlneuwer for" (sheila from trench mortars) In such a generous way that It looked as If thoy liked to ahoot 'cm off, whether tbey hit anything or not. You could always hear tho "heavy stuff" coming, and wo paid little attention to It, as It wus used Iu efforts to reach the bat teries back of our lines.

I tioed v wake In the middle of the night I In a told HVtent dreaming that I heard IMie clatter and whlalle blowing all along Ihe Imp which meant that the gja wn eoiulmc. And filially I really I did hear the terrifyhiK wmjimI, Juat at a moment wueti It eotihin t have sound d worv. I oVas In charge of the dally ration detail, sent back about ten tulles to the olut of nearest Approach of the tratiNtKirt lorries to carry hi rations, ammunition and sand bars to tho front treiH-bea. We had n lot of trouble re turning with our load. Pasalng a point which was called Shrapnel Cor ner, because the Germans had precise range of It. we were caught In ma culae gun fire and had to He on our Btomachs for twenty minutes, during which we lost one man, wounded. 1 icnt him buck and went on with my party, only to run Into another machine gun shower n half mile farther on. While we were lying down to escaic thin n concealed British battery of dve Inch guns, about which we knew nettling, opened up right over our heads. It shook us up and scared us so that pome of our party were now worse off than tho roan who had been hit and carried to the rear. We finally got to gether and wont on. When we were about n mile behind the reserve trench, (tumbling lu tho dark through the last aid most dangerous path overland, wo beard u lone slreir whistle, followed bjr a ware of metallic hammering and wild tooting which seemed to spread over all of Belgium 11 mile ahead or us. All any of us could say was; "Gas!" All you could see In the dark was a collection of white and frightened faces. Every trembling tluger seemed awkward hh 11 thumb us we trot out our ens musks and helmeta ami put them on, followlug dlret-'itumi as nearly us we could. I ordered the meu to sit sttll ami sent two forwunl to notify mo from headquarters when tho gas uliinu wns over. They lost their way and were not found for two days. We sut there for nu hour, und then I ven tured to take my mask off. As nothing happened, I ordered tho men to do tho name. When we got Into the trenches with our packs we found thut tho gas alarm had been one of Frltt's Jokos. Tho first sirens bml been sounded In the German Hues, uud there hadn't been any gas. Our men evened thing np with the Germans, however, the next night Some of our scouts crawled clear up to the German barbed wire, ten yards In frout of tho enemy tire trench, tied empty jam tins to tho barricade nnd then, after attaching small telephone wires to tho burled strands, crawled buck to our trenched. tVheu they start ed pulling tho telephono wires tho empty tins made a clnttor right under Fritz's noso. Immediately tho Germans opened up with nil their, mnchluo gun and rltle tire, began bombing the spot from which tho noise carao und scut up "S O 8" signals for artillery flro along a mile of their Hue. They fired a $10,000 suluto and lost rjgbt's sleep over tho uolso niado Sj- tho discarded containers of 0 shillings' worth of Jam. It was a good tonic for the Tommies.
