How the Modern ProjectiEes Affect the

Only those who lie in the firing line

shells as they cleave their terrible
way through the air above know the
true sounds of modern war. says a

like smack of the bursting shell, are
swish of the scattering bullets, are
nothing to the hooking screech of the
messengers of death as they pursue
each other. as if in competition to
complete the awful object of their
hideous mission.
The whole welkin is discordant with
their tumult; you feel the rush of mis-
placed air, splinters sing in your
ears, the earth is in constant trem-
BILE with the violence of the discharge:
you feel it pulsate against your cheek
pressed to the moist mud of the para
pet. and then a bullet saps the life
blood of the comrade whose elbow has
touched yours days and night for forty
hours. There is a limit to human en-
durance in these straits.
