from thirst and heat. The column
was enve1oped IN a thick cloud Of dust.
The taste OF dust instead OF water was

thick as a layer OF -four on our
cheeks.

hands are still Tapping up and down
on the grass. I am looking back as if
fascinated while my legs keep on ad-
vancing.
But suddenly something begins to
set up a rattle over there in the wood
and buzzes like huge alarm clocks
running down.
Lie down"
And there we are lying down. fat
on our stomachs, as if we had already
been moved down, for every man of
us knows what that was. They have
masked machine guns in the wood
over there; they are opening fire on
US. I feel how my neart is humping
against my ribs. A machine gun is
equivalent to a company, the Old Man
once explained TO us, after we had
been shot down III heaps to the last
man by the machine guns in the au-
tuTnn maneuvers.
What's the next thing2
Cautiously without raising, L turn
my head. Behind US, too, the lines
of skirmishers, close up to us, have
disappeared from the face of the
earth; they, too. have gone to cover
in the grass. Only outside the firing
zone are they still being pushed for
ward.
Shall we have to retreat? Are we
going to attack?
Rapid fire! Into the wood"
Yes, but what are we to fire at? Ly-
ing down, there is nothing to be seen
of the sharpshooters. They won't
do us any harm; in another minute
they will have disappeared among the
trees. But the machines-they have
hidden them away among the foliage
to good purpose.
