Speaking is impossible, but he catches

turned away from the little hole look

they are coming on in great numbers
The gun Spits away with an occasional
brief interruption to change barrels as
they become hot and are set up against
the side of the trench to cool.
The sergeant starts away. He has
his bearings now. and at little place

and pulls a string. The thing swishes

into an irideScence of light balls and
finally breaks into a great. greenish
ball of fame that ftats about high up
and Eliminates everything.
He does this again and again. Other
soldiers now fill the trenches and he
passes the work over to another. Boxes

Some they fire from rifles. others have

little by little as the hosts come on.
Their guns now rain terrific fire on
the advancing Germans.
The sergeant, for the first time since
he has left the dugout. has a second or
so to look out and see what is happen
ing. In his eagernesS he sticks his foot
into a notch in the wall of the trench
and raises his head over the parapet.
No one thinks of injury death.
