men charged forward to certain death. At their head our youngester lieuten- ant, laughing as usual, led the way in a whirlwind advance by rushes, his dwindling squad following him devo- tedly until the bullets took him.
 "Our next youngest lieutenant was unpopular, owing to his biting scath- ing tongue, always rasping the sensib- ilities of the men. And yet we all came to love him. Once when we seem ed to be sitting in a ginantic corn pepper of artillery hail against which no umbrella could protect, this tongue of his usally so scathing, kept us in roars of laughter while old Brother Break-Bones swung his iron fail above our heads. l saw him too that day on the Marne lying still and white beneath the pines.
 "The third oflicer-a reserve officer was his exact opposite. He rarely had a word to say and silent as usual, on that day at Voulpaix when we couldn't make out whence the enemy's fire was coming he stood erect upon a wall in the full fire. We pulled him down with a broken leg but not before he had pointed out the enemy to us.
 "The eldest of our lieutenants was also a reserve officer. He knew every little kink of soldering. He was equal to every emergency. Before we march ed out he helped the inexperienced to make their wills. He too was ready, l am sure, when on that bloody sixth of September his life went out like so many others.
 And our captain with the golden, honest heart and the celebrated name; he new every one of the 270 men en- trusted to him, the circumstances and the duty for every individual was fit ted. Never during the entire cam paign have we run out of bread and every day with few exceptions we had two warm meals. For that we had to thank his unwearying care. And when we had our baptism of fire from the artillery,-we lay unprotected. in wood and could not stir,-he walked up and down before us, calmly puff fling at his pipe and stalking his lie for no other purpose than to give us courage. For him too was the battle on the Marne his last day. His own leg broken and with a gaping wou Id in his breast, he bound up the head of the bugler lying beside him ana mur- mured poor youngester, poor young ster.' He was buried the next day. Tears are not often shed in the field but his little hillock was damp"

appointed and utterly exhausted. The long desired field kitchens, our "goul' ash cannon" as the soldiers name them, had just appeared, steaming de- liciously, when We got word that the enemy had occupied the village of Marsaux, a few miles away, and en- trenched. Several companies of our regiment were told off for the assault, some against the village, the others for a flanking attack. Daylight had long vanished when we marched out.
 Unload rihesp was the first com mand. Not a pleasant command for the infantryman,-to take the cartri- dges from his beloved rife, now of no more use to him than a feather until he gets breast with the enemy. But what is the use.-orders are orders and in night fighting this order is parti- cularly called for if comrade is not to shoot comrade, and the cartridges rat tie from his magazine.
 "We march out through the still September night, the moon lighting our way but lighting us as we'll.
 "We leap couple of ditches, burst through the hedges and fences and la bor up the steep slope of ploughed field, the companies moving forward in complete silence. Suddenly when we are about a hundred yards from the brow of the hill, it rains bullets, most of them luckily going high. The field fairly seems to spew rifle balls. The tension is slackened. No command is needed; there is the enemy. Bayo- nets are fixed and the platoons deploy- ed in an instant and with 'hurrah' the men charge forward against the enemy. These disappear, however, fal- ling back on the real position, the vil- lage itself. It is 400 yards away, the charge takes from our oveltaxed lungs every last atom of breath.
 "The silhouette of the village stands out dark before us and it's wall spray out lead and fire. The church spire spits out sparks like a fireworks display piece. Long streams of fire playing from every aperture, and around our ears whistles and whizzes the hail of steel. We trip over an un- suspected wire, splash headlong into a ditch full of water, climb the church yard wall. House after house is taken with the bayonet, house after house bursts into flames, then pursuit con tinues through the village and for sev- eral miles beyond. It is almost dawn before the exhausted troops come to rest and fling themselves down to sleep rifle in hand and without troubl- ing themselves to unsling their heavy packs from their backs.
 'How often have laughed to my self at the youngest of our officers when he delivered his naive lectures to the men and wondered what respect his platoon of reservists, grown men five to seven years his senior, would have in real battle for his twenty ir- responsible years.-In the battle of the Marne, the bloodiest of the war to date, I lay wounded among comrades whose voices were already still and watched his platoon go into action on the left flank.
