I volunteered and was accepted. Sixteen men from our brigade left for the course In machine gunnery. This course lasted two weeks and we rejoined our unit and were assigned to the brigade machine gun company. It almost broke my heart to leave my tompany mates. The gun we used was the Vlckers, Light .303, water cooled. i I was still a member of the Suicide ! rtnb, having jumped from the frying I pan into the Are. I was assigned to ! section 1, gun No. 2, and the first time ' "in" took position In the front-line 1 trench. . I During the day our gun would be Instant use. We shared a dugout with the Lewis gunners. At "stand to" we would mount our gun on the parapet and go on watch beside It until "stand down In the morning. Then the gun would be dismounted and again placed m ntnoc, . A a 1VUVU111.CO VU LUC U1C OLClJa I We did eight days In the front-line trench without anything unusual hap pening outside of the ordinary trench itmtine. On the night that we were to "carry out," a bombing raid against the German lines was pulled off. This raid ing party consisted of sixty company men, sixteen bombers, and four Lewis machine guns with their crews. The raid took the Boches by surprise and was a complete success, the party (ringing back twenty-one prisoners. The Germans must have been awful ly Bore, because they turned loose a barrage of shrapnel, with a few "Min nies' and "whizz bangs" Intermixed. The, Bhells were dropping Into our front Uae like hailstones. ( To get even, we could have left the prisoners In the fire trench, In charge f the men on guard and let them click Fritz'8 strafeing but Tommy does not treat prisoners that way. Five of them were brought Into my dugout and turned over to me so that they would be safe from the German fire. - In the candlelight, they looked very much shaken; nerves gone and chalky faces, with the exception of one, a great big fellow. He looked very much at ease. I liked him from the start I got out the rum Jar and gave each a nip and passed around some fags, the old reliable Woodbines. The other prisoners looked their gratitude, but the big fellow said in English, "Thank you, sir, the rum la excellent and I ap preciate It, also your kindness." Hatold me his name was Carl Schmidt, of the Sixty-sixth Bavarian Light infantry; that he had lived six years in New York (knew the city bet ter than I did), bad been to Coney Mmanr ofonj ames.

The sentry nest to me challenged, "Halt, who comes there?" and brought his rifle to the aim. His challenge was answered in German. A captain In the next traverse climbed upon the sand bagged parapet to investigate a brave but foolhardy deed "Crack" went a bullet and he tumbled back into the trench with a hole through Ms stomach and died a few minutes later. A lance corporal In the next platoon was so en raged at the captain's death that he chucked a Mills bomb in the direction of the noise with the shouted warning to us : "Duck your nappers, my lucky lads." A sharp dynamite report, a flare In front of us, and then silence. We Immediately sent up two star shells, and In their light could see two rlnrlr fnrma liHrm n thn r.,... . .1 1 i n ,,' t ' Z. J 7 m , . I i stretcher-bearers went out In front and returned, carrying two limp bodies. Down In the dugout, in the flickering light of three caudles, we saw that they were two German offi cers, one a captain and the other an "unteroflizler," a rank one grade higher than a sergeant general, but below the grade of lieutenant The captain's face had been almost completely torn away by the bomb's explosion. The unteroflizler was alive, breathing with difficulty. In a few min utes he opened his eyes and blinked in the glare of the candles. The pair had evidently been drink ing heftvily, for the alcohol fumes were sickening and completely pervaded the dugout I turned away in disgust hating to see a man cross the Great Di vide full of booze. One of our officers could speak Ger man and he questioned the dying man. In a faint voice. Interrupted by fre quent hiccoughs, the unterofflzler told his story. There had been a drinking bout among the officers in one of the Ger man dugouts, the.maln beverage being champagne. With a drunken leer he Informed us that champagne was plen tiful on their side and that it did not! cost them anything either. About seven that night the conversation had turned to the "contemptible" English, and the captain had made a wager that he would hang his cap on the English barbed wire to show his contempt for the English sentries. The wager was accepted. At eight o'clock the captain and he bad crept out into No Man's Land to carry out 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 offlzler had at last succeeded la wak Iok tte captain, reminded him of his !bet, and warned him that be 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 Unas fn -tha rinrlrnMUi thAV loot their aD(, mvUi towtrd nd. They reached the barbed wire and were suddenly challenged by 7rnr i2ntrr: Rrfnif fob drank to realise sentry. Being that the challenge was In English, the captain refused to crawl back. Finally the nnterofOzter convinced his superior that they were In front of .the English wire. Realising this-too lata, the cap tain drew his revolver and with a mut tered carae fired, blindly. toward our trench.

Upon arrirlng at these billets we wera given twenty- four hours la which to dean on. I had just finished getting the mud from my uniform when the orderly sergeant In formed me that my name was In orders to leave, and that I was to report to the orderly room la the morning for or ders, transportation and radons. i nearly bad a fit bustled about packing up, filling my pack with sou venirs such as shell heads, dud bombs. nose caps, shrapneUballa, and a Prus sian guardsman's helmet la fact be fore I turned In that night I had every- tmng ready to report at the orderly room at nine the next morning. I was the envy of the whole section, swanking around, telling of the rood time I was going to have, the places I wowa visit and the real, old English Deer i intended to guzzle. Sort of rubbed it into them, because they all do it and now that it was my turn, I iook pains to get my own back. At nine I reported to the captain, re ceiving my travel order and pass. He asked me Ljw much money I wanted to draw. I glibly answered, "Three hundred francs, sir;" he Just as glibly nanaea me one Hundred. Reporting at brigade headquarters. 'vlth my pack weighing a ton, I waited, with forty others, for the adjutant to inspect us. After an hour's wait he came out ; must have been sore because he wasn t going with us. - ine quartermaster sergeant issued us two days' rations, In a little white canvas ration bag, which we tied to our belts. Then two motor lorries came along ana we piled in, laughing, joking, and in ine Dest or spirits. We even loved the Germans, we were feeling sChappy. Our journey to seven days bliss in tsugnty had commenced. The ride In the lorry lasted about two hours ; by this time we were cov ered with flne, white dust from the road, but didn't mind, even If we were nearly choking. At the railroad station at F we reported to an officer, who had. a white band around his arm, which, read "R. T. O." (Royal Transportation Officer). To us this officer was Santa Claus. The sergeant 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 five minutes or five hours." It came In five hours, a 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 40, Chevaux 8." ; The R. T. O. stuck us all into one car. We didn't care; it was as jfood as a Pullman to us. Two days we spent on that train. bumping, stopping, jerking ahead, and 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 we 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 a B, T. O. held up his hand for us to stop where we were and came over. This Is what he said: J ; Dead todies everywhere - 0' "Boys, rm sorry, but orders hart ust been received cancelling all leare. If you had been three hours earlier you would bare gotten away. Just stay In that train, as It, Is going back. Rations will be Issued to you for your return Journey to your respective stations. Beastly rotten, I know." ; Then ha left ' A dead silence resulted. Then men started to curse, threw their rifles on the floor of the car; others said noth ings seemed to be stupefied, while aome had the tear running ' Covm ! the) r cheeks. It was a bitter disappointment , now.we blinded at the engineer of tbaf train; It was all tls fault (a we reasobed) why hadnt he speeded up a lltOe or been on time, then we would have gotten off before the onler er rlvcdt Now it was no mighty for us. .

The machine gunners went over with the fourth war to consolidate the cap tured una or "dig ln as Tommy calls It Crossing No Man's Land without clicking any casu-iltles, we came to the German trench and mounted our guns on the parados of same. I never saw such a mess in my life bunches ct twisted barbed wire lying about, shell holes everywhere, trench all bashed In, parapets gone, and dead bodies, why, ..that ditch was full of them, theirs and ours. It was a regu lar morgue. Some were mangled hor ribly from our shell fire, while others were wholly or partly burled In the mud, the result of shell explosions car Ing in the walls of the trench. One dead German was lying on his back, with a rifle sticking straight up ln the air, the bayonet of which was burled to the hilt in his chest Across his feet lay a dead English soldier with a bul let hole In his forehead. This Tommy must have been killed just as he ran bis bayonet through the German. Rifles and equipment were scattered about, and occasionally a steel helmet could be seen sticking out of the mud, At one point just In the entrance to a communication trench, was a stretch er. On this stretcher a German was lying with a white bandage around his knee, near to him lay one of the stretcher-bearers, the red cross on his arm covered with mud and his helmet filled with blood and brains. Close by, Bitting up against ' the wall of the trench, with head resting on bis chest, was the other stretcher-bearer. He seemed to be alive, the posture was so natural and easy; but when I got closer I could see a large, jagged hole In his temple. The three must hare been killed by the same shell-burst The dugouts were all smashed In and knocked about big square-cut timbers splintered Into bits, walls cared in and entrances choked. Tommy, after taking a trench, learns to his sorrow that the hardest part of the work Is to hold It In our case this proved to be so. The German artillery and machine guns had us taped (ranged) for fair; It was worth your life to expose your self an Instant Don't think for a minute that the Germans were the only sufferers; we were clicking casualties so fast that you needed an adding machine to keep track of them. Did you ever see one of the steam shovels at work on the Panama canal? Well, It would look like a hen scratch ing alongside of a Tommy "digging In" while under fire. You couldn't see day light through the clouds of dirt from bis shovel. After losing three out of six men of our crew we managed to set up our machine gun. One of the legs of the trlDod was restlns on the chest of a half-burled body. When the gun was firing, It gave the Impression that the body was breathing. This was caused by the excessive vibration. Three or four feet down the trench. about three feet from the ground, a foot was protruding from the earth. We knew it was a German by the black leather boot One of our crew used that foot to hang extra bandoliers of ammunition en. This man always was bandy fellow; made use of little points that the ordinary person would overlook. The Germans made three counter- Attacks, Which we repulsed, but not without heavy loss.on our side. They also suffered severely from our shell and toacbine-gun fire. The ground was potted, with their dead and dying. ..' j The next day things were somewhat quieter, bat not quiet enough to bury the dead, , - ' ' - We Bred, ate and slept in that trench with the nnburied dead for six days,; It was awful -to watch their faces be come swollen and discolored. Toward the last the stench was fierce,1 ,, What got on my nerves the most was tbat foot Sticking out of the flirt It seemed, lo me, at night. In the moon light to be. trying to twist around.

":"-V ' I told this to the man who had used U for a ha track Just before I lay dowti for a little nap, as things were quiet and I needed a rest pretty badly. When I woke up the foot' was gone. He had cut k off 'with our chain saw out of the spare parts' box, and had plastered the trump brat with mud.
