GREEN IS CALLED BY DEATH About Turn. Tho next cvi'iiliiK we were relieved by the th brigade, and once again returned to rest billets. Upon arriving at these billets we were given twenty four hours In which to clean up. I lnul Just finished getting the mud from my uniform when the orderly sergeant ln formed me that my name was In orders to leave, and thnt I was to report to the orderly room In the morning for or ders, transportation and rations. 1 nearly had a fit, hustled about packing up, tilling my pack with sou venirs such as shell heads, dud bombs, nose caps, shrapnel bolls, and n Prus sian guardflinnn's helmet. In fact, be fore I turned In thnt night, I hnd every thing' ready to report at the orderly room at nine tho next morning. I wns the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the good ttaie I wns going to have, the places I would visit, and the real, old English beer I Intended to guzzle. Sort of rubbed It Into them, because they all do It, and now that It was my turn, I took pains to get my own back. At nine I reported to the cnptnln. re ceiving my travel order nnd pass. He asked me how much money I wnnted ' enr leave, Beastly rotten, I know." Then he left. A dend silence resulted. Then men started to curse, threw their rllles on the floor of the car; others said noth ing, seemed to be stupelled. while some had the tears running down their cheeks. It wns u bitter disappointment to nil. How we blinded nt tho engineer of that train; It was all his fault (so we reasoned) ; why hadn't he speeded up a little or been on time, then we would have gotten off before tho order ar rived? Now It was no Blighty for us. That return Journey wns misery to us; I Just can't describe It. When we got back to rest billets, we found that our brigade was In thr trenches (another agrvonble surprise) nnd that an attack was contemplated Seventeen of the forty-one will novel get another chance to go on leave; they were killed lu tho attack. Jusl think If that train lind been on time, thov seventeen would still bo alive. I fin'-' to tell you bow I was kidded Dy the boys when I got back, but It wns good and plenty. Our machine gun compnny took over their part of the line at seven o'clock, the night ufter I returned from my to draw. I glibly answered. "Three hundred francs, sir;" he Just us glibly handed mc one hundred. Reporting nt brigade headquarters, At 3:30 the following morning three waves went over nnd captured the flrst nd second German trenches. Tho machine gunners went over with tho vltlwuy pack weighing n ton, I waited, j fourth wave to consolidate tho cap- rDIen at His Homo Last Night After Severe lllncsh Wan Old-Timer in tlio County. (From Thursday's Dally.) James A. Green, for-the past threo years a resident ot this city, and for moro than twenty years a resident of tho county, died at his homo last night of pneumonia, after an Illness extending over several weeks. Mr. Green moved to this city from Redmond, where he had conducted a livery stablo for several years, about threo years ago. About a year ago ho engaged In tho merchants' deliv ery business here, operating two cars, ono ot which ho drove. About six weeks ago ho was taken III with a touch of pneumonia. Ills attend ing physician cautioned him about resuming work, but bolng ambitious ho disregarded tho physician's ad vlco And again took up lift route. Two weeks later ho was again bed fast. Recovering, as ho believed, sufficiently to rcautno his labors, ho went back to tho dellvory business, and again last Tuesday was strlckon, his condition becoming gradually worso until ho died at 7 o'clock last night. Funeral services will bo hold to morrow afternoon under tho dlrec Hon ot tho Mooso lodge, of which h was a membor, at 2:30 o'clock. H leaves a wife and foster child. with forty others, for tho adjutant to Inspect us. After on hour's wnlt, ho came out ; must have been sore because he wasn't going with us. The qunrtermnster sergeant Issued as two days' rations, In n little white ennvns ration bag, which wo tied to our belts. Then two motor lorries enmc nlong and we piled In, laughing, Joking, nnd In the best of spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling so happy. Our Journey to seven days' bliss In Blighty had commenced. The ride In the lorry lasted about two hours; by this time we were cov ered with fine, white dust from the road, but didn't mind, even If we were early choking. At the railroad station nt F we reported to un ofllcer, who had n white band around his arm, which rend "It. T. O." (Royal Transportation Olllcer). To us this ofllcer wiis Santa Cluus. The sergeunt In charge showed him our orders; he glanced through them and said: "Make yourselves comfort able on the platform and don't leave; the train Is liable to be along In live minutes or five hours." It came In five hours, n string of eleven match boxes on big, high wheels, drawn by a dinky little engine with the "con." These match boxes were cattle cars, on the sides of which was painted the old familiar sign, "Hommes -10, Chcvnux 8." The It. T. O. stuck us all Into one car. We didn't care; It was as good 09 n Pullman to uJ. Two days we spent on thnt train, bumping, stopping, Jerking ahead, nnd sometimes sliding back. At three sta tions we stopped long enough to make some tea, but were unable to wash, so when we arrived at B , where wo were to embark for Blighty, we were as black as Turcos and, with our un shaven faces, we looked like a lot of tramps. Though tired out, we were happy. We had packed up, preparatory to detraining, when n R. T. O. held up his hand for us to stop where wo were and camo over. This Is what ho said : Dead Bodies Everywhere. "Boys, I'm sorry, but orders have Just been received cancelling all leave, li you had been three hours earlier you would have gotten away. Just stay in that train, as it Is going back. Rations will bo Issued to you for your return journey. o yjour respective stations, tured lino or "dig lu," as Tommy calls It Crossing No Man's Lnnd without clicking any casualties, wo enme to the German trench and mounted our guns on the parados of same. I never saw such n mess In my life bunches of twisted barbed wire lying about, shell holes everywhere, trench all bashed In, parapets gone, nnd dead bodies, .why, that ditch was full of them, theirs nnd ours. It wns n regu lar morgue. Some were mnngled hor ribly from our shell fire, while others were wholly or partly buried In the mud, the result of shell explosions cav ing In the walls of the' trench. One dead German wns lying on his back, I with n rllle Kicking straight up In tho nlr, the bayonet of which was burled to the hilt In his chest. Across his feet lay ii dend English soldier with n bul let hole In his forehead. This Tommy must have been killed Just as tie run his bayonet through the German. Rllles nnd equipment were scattered nbout, and occasionally' n steel helmet could bo seen sticking out of the mud. At one point, Just In the entrance to n communication trench, wns a stretch er. On this stretcher n German was lying with a white bondage around his knee, near to him lay one of the stretcher-benrors. tho red cross on Ids arm covered with mud and his helmet filled with blood nnd brains. Closo by, sitting up against tho wall of tag trench, with head resting on his chest, was the other stretcher-bearer. He seemed to be alive, the posture was so natural and cosy; but when I got closer I could see a large, Jagged hole in bis temple. The three must have been killed by the same shell-burst. The dugouts were nil smashed In and knocked nbout, big square-cut timbers splintered Into bits, walls caved In and entrances choked. Tommy, after taking a trench, Icarni to his sorrow that the hardest part ot the work Is to hold It. In our case this proved to be so. Tho German artillery and machine guns hnd us taped (ranged) for fair; It was worth your llfo to exposo your self un Instant. Don't think for a minute that the Germans were tho only sufferers; we were clicking casualties so fust that you needed an adding machine to keep track of them. Did you ever seo one of the steam shovels at work on tho Panumn t-unuli Well, It would look like a bun scratch ing alongside of nft'oiimiy "digging In" while under tire. You couldn't seo day light through the clouds of dirt from his shovel., After loHlng threo out of six men of our crew we managed to set up our machine gun. Ono of tho legs of the tripod was resting on tho chest of a half-burled body. When tho gun wan firing, It gavu the Impression that the body was breathing. This was cuused by the excessive vibration. Threo or four feet down tho trench, nbout three feet from the ground, a foot was protruding from the eurth, Wo knew It was u Gennun by tho liluclc leather boot. Ono of our crew used thut foot to hung extra bandollern of ammunition on. This man ulwuyH was a handy fellow; mado use of little points thut tho ordinary person would overlook. The Germans mado threo counter nttucks, which we repulsed, but no) without heavy loss on our side. They also suffered severely from our shwii nnd muchlue-gun fire. Tho ground wa ' spotted with their dead and dying. The next day tUrua were HUUKUluU ! quieter, lint not qulol enough to bury the dead. Wo lived, ato nnd slept In that trench with (ho unburled dead for six dayH. It was awful to watch their faces be come swollen and discolored. Towards the last tho stench was llerce. What got on my nerves the most was that foot sticking out of tho dirt. It seemed to me, nt night, In tho moon light, to be trying to twlHt around. Several times this Impression was. so strong that I went to It and grasped It in both hands, to seo If I could feel it movement. I told this to tho man who had tmed It for n hatrack Just luforo I lay down for it little nap, as things were quiet, and 1 needed it rest pretty badly. When I woke up the foot was gone. Il! had cut It off with our chain saw out of the spare parts' box, and had plastered tint stump over with mud. During tho next two or three days, before we were relieved, I missed that foot dreadfully; seemed its If I had suddenly lost a chum. I think the worst thing of nil was to watch the rats, at night, and some times In tho day, run over and piny nbout among the dead. Near our gun, right across the para pet, could be seen tho body of a Ger man lieutenant, the head aud anus of which were hanging Into our trench. Tho man who had cut off the foot used to sit and carry on it one-sided conver sation with this olllcer, used to nrguo nnd point out why Germany was In the wrong. During all of thl monologue I never heard bin say anything out of tho way aifythlng that would hnve hurt the oltlcer's feelings had hu been nllve. He was square all right; wouldn't even tnko advantage of it dead man In an argument. To civilians this must seem dread ful, but out hero ono gets bo used to nwful slght.i (lint It mikes no Impres sion. In passing it butcher shop you are not shocked by welng it dead tur key hanging from u hook. Well, lu France, it dend laxly Is looked upon from Hie same angle. But, nevertheless, when our six days were up, we were tickled to death to bo relieved. Our machlno gun company lost seventeen killed and thirty-one wound ed In that little local affair of "straightening tho line," while tho other companies clicked It worso than we did. After tho nttnek we went Into re serve billets for six days, nnd on tho seventh onco again wo were In rest billets.
