Some of these daring men could be 'seen al most up- to the crest where the Ger man line ; ran. They were crouched behind heaps ot boulders, rifles ready. "Those men are only teh yards from the Germans:" -said the Commandant. As he spoke, Mr. Cjravath of New York said: , I see a German; there he is on the the crest; you can see his uniform' with the round cap." And he sees you, too," eald the Commandant. "You have been under fire." he added as he led Mr. Cravatlr and the others to a more secure posi' tion. ! 4. Ifs good that German didn't fire;" remarked Cravath. "it might have been an international Incident. Think of - it-killing an American visitor to the French trenches." Coming back from the front line trenches, one had a view of the many ceaseless activities in carrying on this great battle. Atone point soldiers in shirt-sleeves were digging graves ,in an improvised cemetey along the forests-path. The cemetery was very larger and iiad been , given a name: "Maison Forersstier," or Forest Home. Every grave had a wooden cross above It, with the name and regiment of the dead soldier. - The shells kept whizzing and burst ing as the party moved along, and. -Jt got to be a! pleasant pastime , to note the-long s-z-z-z as the shells flew over-, head. One of them struck a few hun- dre'd. feet .away, ' throwing . up , trees earth and clouds of smoke. 4 tTq-t thos0:: who wanted souvenirs there;sweTe big fragments of ehrapnei lying at every turn.
