"i1Iow grave of the dead. Most of
the soldiers' leg are near rod to the
kliee with bitci.
Ihe one thing of whMi wo constant
ly lived In irar waa a gas attack. 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.
The Prince of Wales. ,
A few days uftcr this a very young
olllccr passed mo In a trench while I
was sitting ou a flro step writing a
letter, t noticed that ho had tho red
tabs of a staff otllccr on hU uniform,
but I paid no moro attention to him
than that No compliments, such as
salutes to oiuccrs, are paid In tho
treuches. After ho had passed ono of
tho meu asked mo If 1 didn't know
