I eagerly asked, "What are tbeyr He answered : ror kllltne or wounding an English nrlvate. the miner vets on mark. For killing or wounding an English officer he rets Ave marks, but If he kills a nod Cap or English general, the sniper gets twenty-one days tied to the wneei or a Umber as punishment for his careless- DNl" Then he paused, waiting for me to bite, I suppose. I bit all rieht and asked htm why tne sniper was punished for killing an English general. With smile he re plied: Well, tou see. If all the English gen erals were killed, there would be no one left to make costly mistakes." I shnt him no. he was retting too fresh for a prisoner. After a while he winked at me and I winked back, then the escort came to take the prisoners t the rr. I snoot nanas ana wwnea him The best of lack and safe Jour- nev to BllBhtv. I liked that prisoner, he was a fine fellow, had an Iron Cross, too. I ad vised him to keep It out of sight, or some Tommy would be sending It home to bis girl In Blighty as a souvenir, One dark and rainy night while on vnard we were looklnr over the ton from the fire step of our front-line trench, when we heard a noise Imme diately In front of our barbed wire. The sentry next to me challenged, "Halt who comes theref and brought his rifle to the aim. Bis challenge was answered In German. A captain In the next traverse climbed nnon the sand bagged parapet to Investigate a brave hnt foolhardv deel "Crack" went a bullet and he tumbled back Into the trench with a hole through his stomach and died a few minutes later. A lance o moral in the next platoon was so en raced at the caDtuln's death that he chucked a Mills bomb In the direction of the noise with the shouted warning to ns: "Duck roar Dappers, my lucky lads." A sharn dynamite report, a flare to front of as, and then silence. We Immediately sent ut two star hell, and In thulr I lent could see two dark forms lying on the ground close to our wire, a sergeant ana rour stretcher-bearers went ont In front and soon returned, carrying two limp bodies. Down In the durout. In the flickering light or three candles, we saw that they were two German offi cers, one a contain and the other an "unteroflizler." a rank one grade higher than a sergeant general, bat below the grade of lieutenant The cantaln's face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb's explosion. The unteroffliiler was alive, breathing with difficulty. In a few min utes he opened his eyes and blinked in the glare of the candles. The Diilr had evidently been drink ing heavily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely pervaded the dugout I turned away In disgust, hating to see a roan cross the Great Di vide full of booze. One of onr officers could sneak Ger man and he questioned the dying man. In a faint voice, interrupted ny fre quent hiccoughs, the nnterofflzler told his story. There had been ft drinking boot among the officers In one of the Ger man durouts. the main beverage being champagne. With a drunken leer he Informed us that chamDarne was Dlen tlful on their side and that it did not cost them anything either. About seven that nleht the conversation had turned to the "contemntlble" English, and the captain had made a wager that he would hang bis cap on tne ungusn barbed wire to show bis contempt for the English reentries. The wager was wonted. At elitht o'clock the captain and be had crept out Into No Man's Land to carry oat this wager. They bad gotten about halfway across when the drink took effect and the captain fell asleep. After about two hours of vain attempts the unter offizler bad at last succeeded in wak ing the captain, reminded him of his bet, and warned him that he would be the laughing stock of the officers' mess If he did not accomplish his object, but the captain was trembling all over and Insisted on returning to the German lines. In the darkness they lost their bearings and crawled toward the Eng lish trenches. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by our sentry. Being too drunk to realize that the challenge was In English, the captain refused to crawl back. Finally the nnterofflzler convinced nis superior that they were In front of the English wire. Realizing this too late, the cap tain drew his revolver and witn a mat tered curse fired blindly toward onr trench. Bis bullet no doubt killed our costaia, ' - to -v. 3 DID YOU EVER LOSE A BIO TISM?
