My clothes were n mesa, as I have Bald, and I was so tired I thought I could sleep for a week, but I could not stand It In my clothes any longer. It was absolutely against regulations, but I took off all my clothes the blood had soaked Into the skin and wrapped myself In nothing but air and went right to sleep. I did not eleep very well, but woko tip every once In n while and thought I was In tho hole again. During tho night they brought up water, but I was asleep and did not know It They did not wake me, but two men saved by share, though usually In a case like Uiat It was everybody for himself and let tho last man go dry. You could not blarao . them, cither, eo I thought It was pretty (decent of theso two to savo my share for me. I believe they must havo hod a hard tltno keeping tho others off of It, to say nothing of them selves, for there really was not more than enough for ono good drink nil around. It tasted better than anything I havo ever drunk. Go dry for 2-1 hours In tho hottest weather you can find, do a night's work llko that, and como to In tho morning with n tin cup full of muddy water being handed to you, and you will know what I mean. At Gnba Tcpo thcro wcro steep little hills with quarries In between them, and most of tho prisoners we took wero caught In the quarries. We ?ound lots of dead Turks under piles of rock, where our guns had battered the walls of the quarries down on them. We were fighting nbout this part of tho country one time when wo saw three motor trucks disappear over tho side of a hill going across country. The detachment from the Cassnrd was sent over on the run and we came upon the Turks from those trucks and several others just after they had got out and were starting ahead on foot (We captured that wholo bunch I do sot know bow many In all. They wcro reinforcements on their way to a part jof their line that wo wcro battering (very hard, and by capturing them wo helped the Anzacs a great deal, for ihey were able to get through for a big gain. We held that position, though they rained shells on us eo. hard all that day nnd night that wo thought they were placing a barrage for a raid, and stood to arms until almost noon tho next day. But our guns guve back shell for shell, and pounded tho Turk ish trenches and broke fehrapncl over them until they had all they could do to stay In them. Finally, our guns placed shell after hhcll on tho enemy's communication trenches, and they could neither bring up reinforcements nor retire. So we went over aud cleaned them out and took the trench. But then our guns had to stop because we were in range', and the Turks brought up reinforce ments from other parts of the line and wo were driven back after holding their trench all afternoon. It was nbout fifty-fifty, though, for when they reinforced ono part of the line some of our troops would break through In another part That night there was a terrible rain storm. I guess It was really a cloud burst We had all tho water wo wanted then, and more, too. A great many men and mules were drowned, both of our troops and tlio Turklsli. Trenches were washed in and most of tho works ruined. There were several Turkish bodies washed Into our trench, and two mules came over together, though whether they wero Turkish 01 French or British I do not know. A few days nfter the rain stopped I was going along the road to the docks at "V" beach when I saw some examples of the freaklshness of shells. There Avns a long string of mulea go ing back to the trenches with water and supplies of various kinds. We drew up to one side to let them pass.

Hut two of tljoj wntcr bags wcro not even touched, nnd another ono had only n little holo In It. Thcro they lay on tho ground, Just ns though you had taken the inula out from under, them. The mules next him, foro nnd nft, were knocked down by Uie concussion hut unhnnnod; but tho third mulo behind had ono enr cut to shreds, nml tho man behind him wns badly shot up nnd stunned. A little farther on n shell had struck tho road nnd plowed n furrow two or three feet wide, nnd Just ns tttrnlght ns au arrow for three of four yards ; It then turned oft at almost a rlcht angle and continued for n vnrd or two inoro before It burst nnd made a big hole. That Turk gunner must . hnve put a lot of English on that ehelt when he flred It lie got somebody's number with that shot, too. and the lad paid pretty high, for there was blood around tho hole, not qulto dry .when we got to It Coming back along tho same-road wo halted to let another convoy of mules go past, nnd an otuccr of tho Iloynl naval division came up and began talking to our officers. Ho was telling them how ho and his men had landed at "X" bench, and how they had to wado ashore through barbed wire. "And, you know," ho said In n sur prised way, as If ho himself could hardly bcllevo It, "tho beggars were actually firing on usl" That Is Just llko tlio Limeys, though. Their Idea Is not to appear excited nbout any thing at'any time, but to net us though they wero playing cricket standing around on a lawn with paddtcs In their hands, half asleep. Tho Limeys are certainly cool under Are, though, nnd I think thnt becnuso the Anzacs did bo well at Galllpoll people have not given enough credit to tho British regulars nnd It 2f. D.'s, who wero there too, nnd did their sharo of tho work, and did It as well as any men could. After a while this officer started on his way again, and ns ho cut across tho road a French officer camo up. Tho Limey wore a monocle, which caused tho French officer to stare at him a mlnuto before ho saluted. After tho Englishman had passed him tho Frenchman took a largo French penny out of his pocket screwed It into his eye and turned toward us so that wo could sec It, but the Limey could not That was not the right thing to do, especially beforo enlisted men, so our officers did not laugh, but the men did, and so loud that Limey turned around nnd caught sight of tho Frenchman. Ho started back toward him and I thought sure there would bo a fight, or that mora likely, the Limey would report him. Our officers should havo placed tho Frenchman under arrest at that The Frenchman expected trouble, too, for ho pulled up very straight and stiff, but he left tho penny In his eye. Tho Limey came up to him, halted a few paces off nnd, without saying a word, took the monoclo out of his eye, twlbbled it three or four feet in the air and caught It In his other cyo when it came down. "Do thnt, you blighter," he said nnd faced about and was on his way down the rond. They hud it on the French man after that This Phllllppo Pierre, of whom I have spoken, told me a story about two Limey officers that I hardly be lieved, yet Phllllppo swore it was tho truth. lie had been in America before the war, and ho said he had seen ono of the officers that tlio story is about many times in New York. He said thcro were two Limey offi cers going along the road arguing about the German shells which tho Turks were using. One of the officers laid they were no good because they did not burst Just about that time i shell came along and they picked themselves up qulto a distance from where they had been standing. An other shell whizzed by and landed fiat n the side of the road. The officer tvnlkcd over, dug It out of tho ground, ind took away tho detonator and fuse to prove that they did not explode I The only thing that would make no believe that story is that Phllllppo Pierre said they wero Limey officers. ,S"o one but a Limey would remera )cr such an argument after being mocked galley west by a shell con- Mission. I do not doubt that a Limey vould do It If It could bo done, though. CHAPTER XIV. The Croix de Guerre. When wq had been on tho sboco OTHER BUILDINGS BRICK & LUMBER. CO, r!br nTout three week? Nvo found our- lelves ono morning somewhere near Jcdd'CMJnhr under tho heaviest lire t over experienced. Our guns and tho dirks' wero tit It full blast, nnd tho jolso wits worse than deafening. A section of my company wuh lying ut In u shell hole near tho commit ilcntlou trench with nothing to do tut wait for n shell to find them. Wo vere stilt nnd thirsty nnd iiucotnfnrt ihlo, nnd had not slept for two nights, in thnt time o hint been under con Itaut tire and had stood oft soverul rntdlng pnrtles nnd pmnll nttneks frott enemy trenches. Wq had no sooner got used to the shell holo nnd wero making ourselves ns comfortable as possible In It when nlong came n shell of what must have been tho Jack Johnson size, and w wcro 8wnmped. Wo had to dig three of tho men out nnd though one ol them was badly wounded wu could not send him back to tho hospital, la fnct, tho shelling was so heavy that nono of us ever expected to como oul of It alive. So, It was llko keeping your owe death watch, with tho shells tuning up for the dirge. It was impossible tc listen to tho shells. If you kept you! mind on the noise for nny length ol time It would split your eardrums, nra sure. So nil wo could do was to lay low In tho shell holo and wait foi something to happen. Then they began using shrapnel on us, and one of our mnchlno gunners, who got up from his knees to change Hit Head Taken Clean Off His ShouL ders. position, had his head taken clean off his shoulders, nnd tho rest of him landed near my feet and squirmed a llttle, llko a chicken that had Just been killed. It was awful to see the body without any head movo around that way, and wo could hardly make our selves touch it for somo time. Then we' rolled It to the other sldo of the hole. Then, to one sldo of us, thcro wa a moro violent explosion thnn nny yet The earth spouted up and fell on us, and big clouds of black smoke, sliding along tho ground, covered our shell holo and hung there for some time. One of our sergeants, from tho regular French infantry, said It was a shell from n Turkish 155-mm. howitzer. That was only tho first one. Tho worst tiling about them was tho smoke -people who think Pittsburgh I smoky ought to see about fifty of those big howitzer shells bursting, ono after another. Wo could not tell what tho rest of our lino was doing or how wo were standing the awful fire, but wo felt suro they were not having any worso tlmo than we were. In a few minutes wo heard tho good old "75s" start pounding, and it was llko beurlng an old friend's voice over tho telephone, and everybody In our shell hole cheered, though no ono could hear us and wo could barely hear each other. Still wo knew that If tho "75s" got going in their usual stylo they would do for an enemy battery or two, nnd that looked good to us. Tho "70s" made tho noise worse, but it was al ready about as bad as It could be, and a thousand guns moro or less would not have made It any harder to stand. Ono of our men shouted In the ser geant's ear that the men In lino ahead of us and to tho right wero trying to give us a message of somo kind. Tho sergeant stuck his head nbovo tho parapet and bad a look. But I stayed where I was tlio sergeant could boo for himself and me, too, as far as I was concerned. lie shouted at us that tho mca In GUSTAVO WINS WITH TOE HOLD .IIU-I1TSU (HUP WINS t-MHST FALL AND VltANK HOTCII HPKClAli Till.
