 Hanging on a string, at the elbow of each sentry on the fire step was siren whistle or an empty shell case and a bit of iron with which to ham, mer on 1t. This, whichever It might be, was for the purpose of spreading the alarm fin case of a gas attack. Also we had sentries in listening posts," at various points from twenty to fifty yards out in No Mans Land" These men blackened their faces be- fore they went lover the top" and then lay in shell holes or natural hollows. There was always two of them, bay onet man and a bomber. From the listening post a wire ran back to the fire trench to be used in signaling. In the trench a man sat with this wire wrapped around his hand. One pull meant "All O. K.." two pulls, "I'm coming in." three pulls, 'Enemy in

 In addition to these men, we had pa- trols and scouts out in No Mans Land" the greater part of the night, with orders to gain any information possible which might be of value to battalion. brigade, division or general headquarters. They reported on the condition oi the Germans barbed wire, the location of machine guns and oth- CT little things like that which might be of interest to some commanding officer twenty miles back. Also they were ordered to make every effort to capture any of the enemys scouts or patrols, so that we could get informa- ton from them. One of the interesting moments In this work came when a star shell caught you out in an open spot If you moved you were gone. I've seen men stand OH one foot TOT the thirty seconds during which a star shell will burn. Then when scouts or patrols met in No Mans Land" they always had to fight 1t out with bayo- nets. One single shot would be the signal. for artillery fire and would mean the almost instant annihilatiOn of the men on both sides of the fight. Under the necessities of this war many of our men have been killed by our own shell Ire.

We had some casualties every morning and evening, and the stretcher bearers used to get ready for them as a regular matter of course For fifteen minutes at dawn and dusk the Germans used to send over "whiz- bangs" ''coal boxes" and "minenwer- fer" (shells from trench mortarsl in such a generous way that 1t looked as If they liked to shoot lem of, whether they hit nything or not You could always hear the ''heavy stuff' coming, and We paid little attention to 1t, as it was used In efforts to reach the bat teries back of our lines.

 About the only amusement we had during our long stay in the front trenches was to sit with our backs against the rear wall and shoot at the rats running along the parapet. Poor MacHarlane, with a flash of the old hu- nor which he had before the war, told "rookie" that the trench rats were so big that he saw one of them trying on his greatcoat They used to run over our faces when we were sleeping in our dugouts, and I've seen them in ravenous swarms burrowing into the

 shallow graves of the dead. Most of the soldiers legs are scared to the knees with bites.
 The one thing of which we constant ly lived in fear was gas attack. I used to wake in the middle of the night In cold sweat dreaming that heard the chatter and whistle blowing all along the line which meant that the gas was coming. And finally really did hear the terrifying sound, just at a moment when 1t couldn't have sound ed worse. was in charge of the daily to the point of nearest approach of the transport lorrles to carry in rations, ammunition and sand bags to the front trenches. We had a lot of trouble re- turning with our loads. Passing point which was called Shrapnel Cor ner, because the Germans had precise range of 1t, we were caught in ma chine gun fire and had to He on our stomachs for twenty minutes, during which we lost one man, wounded. l sent him back and went on with my party, only to run into another machine gun shower a half mile farther on. While We were lying down to escape this a concealed British battery of five inch guns about which We knew nothing, opened up right over our heads. It shook us up and scared US so that some of our party were now worse off than the man who had been hit and carried to the rear. We finally got to- gethcr and went on. When we were about mile behind the reserve trench, stumbling in the dark through the last aid most dangerous path overland, we heard a lone siren whistle, followed by a wave of metallic hammering and wild footing which seemed to spread over all of Belgium mile ahead of us. All any of us could say was:
 "Gas!
 All you could see in the dark was a collection of white and frightened faces. Every trembling finger seemed awkward as thumb as we got out our gas masks and helmets and put them on, following directions as nearly as we could. I ordered the men to sit still and sent two forward to notify me from headquarters when the gas alarm was over. They lost their way and were not found for two days. We sat there for an hour, and then l ven tured to take my mask off. As nothing happened, I ordered the men to do the same. When We got into the trenches with our packs We found that the gas alarm had been one of Fritz's Jokes. The first sirens had been sounded in the German lines, and there hadn't been any gas.
 Our men cvened things up with the Germans, however. the next night Some Of our scouts crawled clear up to the German barbed wire, ten yards in front of the enemy fire trench, tied empty jam tins to the barricade and then, after attaching small telephone hheS lO tue DdL DcO pLlduuo, Slo on4CN back to our trenches. When they start ed pulling the telephone wires the empty tins made q clatter right under Fritz's nose Immediately the Germans opened up with all their machine gun and rife fire, began bombing the spot from which the noise came and sent up IS o s" signals for artillery fire along a mile of their line. They fired a $10000 salute and lost nights sleep over the noise made by the discarded containers of shillings' worth of jam. It was a good tonic for the Tommies.
