my pal Mcfarland were shot down
dead that morning.
When they called for volunteers to

picked out twenty-five men, twelve
bayonet men and thirteen bombers.
They agreed to my plan, which was
to get within twenty-five yards of the
gun emplacement before attacking, to
place no dependence on rifle fire, but
to bomb them out and take the posi-
ton with the bayonet. We followed
that plan and took the emplacement
quicker than we had expected to do,
but there were only two of us left
when we got there-Private GOdsall,
No. 177,063, and myself All the rest
of the twenty-five were dead or down.
The emplacement was held by eleven
Germans. Two only were left stand
ing when we got in.
When we saw the gun had been ST.
fenced and the crew disabled Godsall
and worked round to the right about
ten yards from the shell hole where
we had sheltered ourselves while
throwing bombs into the empIacement
and scaled the German parapet. We
rushed the gun position. The officer
who had been in charge was standing
with his back to us, firing with his re-
vOlver down the trench at our men
who were coming over at another
point. I reached him before Godsall
and bayoneted him. The other Ger
man who had survived our bombing
threw up his hands and mOuthed the
TeutOnic slogan of Mercy,
kameradw My bayonet had broken
off in the encounter with the German
officer, so picked up a German rifle
with bayonet fixed, and Godsall and
] worked on down the trench.
The German who had surrendered
stood with his hands held high above
his head, waiting for US to tell him
what to do. He never took his eyes
off of US even to look at his officer, Iy-
Ing at his feet. AS we moved down
the trench he followed us, still hold
ing his hands up and repeating, Mercy,

we took five more prisoners, and as
Godsall had been slightly wounded in
the arm turned the captives over to
him and ordered him to take them to
the rear. Just then the men of our
second wave came over the parapet
like lot of hurdlers. In five minutes
we had taken the rest of the Germans

NUR high command apparently
meant to make a sure thing of
~ the general assault upon the Re-
gina trench, in which we were to par
ticipate. Three times the order to "gO
over the top" was cOuntermanded. The
assault was first planned for Oct. 10.
Then the date was changed to the 10th.
Finally, at 1910 noon of Oct. 21, we
went. It was the first general assault
we had taken part in, and we were in
a highly nervous state. I'll admit
that.
It seemed almost certain death to
start over In broad daylight, yet, as
1t turned out, the crossing of No Mans
Land was accomplished rather more
easily than in our night raids. Our
battalion was on the extreme right Of
the line, and that added materially to
our difficulties, first by compelling us
to advance through mud so deep that
some of our men sank to their hips in
it and, second, by giving us the hottest
little spot In France to hold later.
I was in charge of the second
''wave," or assault line. This is called
the "mopping up wave, because the
business of the men composing it is
thoroughly to bomb out a position
crossed by the first wave, to capture
or kill all of the enemy remaining and
to put the trench in a condition to be
defended against a cOunterattack by
reversing the fire steps and throwing
up parapets.
Our artillery had given the Germans
such battering and the curtain fire
which our guns dropped just thirty to
forty yards ahead of us was so pow
erful that we lost comparatively few
men going Over-Only those who were
knocked down by shells which the Ger
mans landed among us through our
barrage. They never caught us with
their machine gun sweeping until we
neared their trenches. Then a good
many of our men began to drop, but
we were in their front trench before
they could cut us up anywhere near
completely. Going over l was struck
by shell fragments on the hand and
leg, but the wounds were not severe
enough to stop me. In fact, / did not
know that had been wounded until

shrek of a high explosive seemed to
come right down out of the sky into
my ears, and the detonation which In
stantly followed shook the slanting
sides of the shell hole until dirt in lit
tie dusty rivulets came trickling down
upon me. Wounded as l was, l drag
ged myself up to the edge of the hole
There was no trace anywhere of the
four men who had just left me- They
have never been heard of since. Their
bodies were never found. The big
shell must have fallen right among
them and simply blown them to bits.
1t was about quarter to seven in the
morning when was hit. l lay in the
shell hole until two in the afternoon,
suffering more from thirst and cold and
hunger than from pain. / only hoped
the Germans wouldn't drive our men
back over me. At two o'clock batch of
sixty prisoners came along under es-
cOrt. They were being taken to the
rear under fire. The artillery bonn
bardment was still practically undi-
minished. asked for four Of the
prisoners and made one of them get
out his rubber ground sheet, carried
around his waist They responded
willingly and seemed most ready to
help me. / had revolver (empty) and
some bombs in my pockets, but had
no need to threaten them. They half
dragged me toward the rear.
Carried to the Rear.
It was a trip which was not without
incident. Every now and then we
would hear the shrie.s Of an approach
ing "cOal box" and then my prisoner
stretcher bearers and would tumble in
0ne indiscriminate group into the near
est shell hole. If we did that once we
lid it a half dozen times. After each
live the four would patiently reorgan-
re and arrange the imprOvised stretch
er again, and we would proceed. Fol-
owing every tumble however, / would
have to tighten my tOurniquets, and,
despite all I could do, the hemOrrhage
from my wound continued to flow so
prOfuSely that was beginning to feel
very dizzy and weak. On the way in
l sighted our regimental dressing sta
tiOn and signed to my four bearers to
carry me toward it. l couldn't talk
German. The station was in an old
German dugout. Major Gilday was at
the door. He laughed when he saw
me with my own special ambulance
detail.

He produced it for me instantly.
"Now," said he, my advice to you is
to keep on travelling. You've got fine
special detail there to look after you.
Make 'em carry you to Pozieres. It's
only five miles, and you'll make it all
right. I've got this place loaded up

AS we continued toward the rear we
were the targets for a number of hui

to go into the fight.

There is always something new to be found in bags. All one has to do to find a novelty is to look in the right quarter.
 Some of these sets are rather simple affairs which will serve for very prac- tical use, and some of them are of rich materials in fancisul design, evidently intended to embellsh an afternoon or evening toilette. An example of each is shown in the pictlife above.
