trenches had the most friends among
the men, but the collie liked Dem1elle
best. We found out afterwards that
Demielle used to save his food, and
even go hungry himself in order to
keep himself high in the collie's good
will
How Demielle ever trained the dog
to go to the German trenches from
ours we were never able to figure out
but we first suspected him when we
saw him lift the dog to the edge OF
our trench and send him on his way
by throwing a stone towards the Ger
man lines which were only $50 feet
distant.
When the dog came back that night
sentry caught him and searched
him. Under his collar was a map
which Demielle had drawn, with
note to Demielle. written in German:
1--WE don't understand this map
Can't you make it plainer?'
The sentry put the note back IN
place and let the dog go to Demielles
subway hut. Two men were watch
! ing Demielle when the dog entered,
Demiele put his finger under the
dogs collar. pulled out the note and
lbegan to read it when the men jump
ed on him.
| Demiclle was very cool about 1t,
but he knew that his end had come.
| He was taken away and sentenced to
death by courtmartial. Luckily the
firing squad was not chosen from
among the men in our trench. The
officers paraded him before us as an
Iexample lie kept his head high anl

done for his country. Then they took
him away somewhere to die.
