go over. Our officers alwnys led us,
but I have never seen a German ofllcer
lead a charge. They alwnys were be
hind their men, driving Instead of lend
ing. I do not believe they are as brave
as they arc said to be.
Well, we went over this time, nnd
the mnchlne guns were certainly going
It strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and tho Swiss and all
that, and we put up nn awful flght, but
wc could not make It and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not a roan of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were Just wiped out
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
two o'clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over Into thr
trench, all In. Ho hnd been wounded
four times, and had lain In a slHI
crater full of water for several hours
He would not go bnck for trentrneni
then, and when daylight came, it wnf
too late, because we wero practically
cut off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on us, and the
Germans had advanced their lines Into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-five yards awny. We re
ceived bombs and shells right In our
faces. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy, and ran back over the parados.
He ran a few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. I think he wat
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to us. Then tho spot
where he had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. I do not know where the
top part went That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex
ploded. Ho had been hit by a big
shell, and absolutely cut In two. 1
have seen this happen to fonr mcu, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven o'clock, we received re
enforcements, nnd poured fresh troop
over and retook tho trench. No sooner
bad wo entered It, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on us,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely., Thy killed nrnntmr

and this time they kept after us and
drove us beyond tho trench we had
originally occupied,
We left them there, with our nrtll
lery taking caro of them, and our ma
chine guns trying to entllndo them, and
moved to the right. There was n
bunch of trees there, about like n small
woods, and as we passed tho German

wo retired to some reserve trenches.
e were pretty much scattered by this
time, nnd badly cut up. We reformed
there, nnd wero Joined by other of our'
troops, In 8innll groups what was left
of squads and platoons and singly.
Our captain hnd got It n fifth time,
meanwhile, but he would not leave us,
as he was the ranking olllcer. Ho hnd
n scalp wound, but the others were In
his arms nnd shoulders, lie could not
move his hands at all.
Rut he led our chnrge vhcn we ran
for the woods. Wo carried some ma
chlno guns with us as wo went, and
the gunners would run a piece, set up, 1
ure wnue we openeu up lor mem, nnu
run on again. Some troops enme out
of n trench still farther to the right j
and helped us. nnd we drove the Ger- J
mnnsoutof the woods and occupied It
ourselves.
from there, we had the Germans In
our old trench almost directly from '
tho rear, and we simply denned them '
out. I think all the vows were kept

been hurting for some time. They enr
ried the captain out on a stretcher
about the same time, but he died on
the way from loss of blood. Fresh
troops came up to relieve us, hut our
men refused to go, and though olllclnl
ly they were not there In tho trench,
they stnyed until they took the cap
tain away. Then, bnck to billets not

of work, but 1 do not know, as l wa
in the hospital for a short time after
ward. I do not remember much nboul
going to tho hospital except that the
ambulance made an awful racket golut
over the stone-paved streets of Ktnples,
and that the bearer who picked up one
end of my stretcher, had eyes like dead
fish flouting on water; also, that there
were some civvies standing around the
entrance as we were being carried In.
The first thing they do In the hos-
pltul is to take off your old dirty band
ages and slido your stretcher under a
big electric magnet. A doctor comet
In and places his hand over your
wound, and they let down the magnet
over his hand nnd turn on the Juice.
If the Khell fragment or bullet in you
Is more than seven centimeters deep,
jrou cannot feel the puln. The first
"doctor reports to the chief how deep
(your wound Is, and where It is situ
ated, and then a nurso comes up to
you, where you lie, wIUi your clothes
still on, and asks you to tako the
("pressure."
Then they lift you on n four-wheeled
cart, and roll you to tho operating tlie
later. They tako off your clothes there.
11 remember I liked to look at the
.nurses and surgeons; they looked so
good In their clean white clothe,
j Then they stick hollow needles Into
jou, which hurt a good deal, and you
Jtako tho pressure. After a while, they
begin cutting away tho bruised und

cloth, pieces of dirt, and so forth, and
