British Front in Belgium, Q'riday)
Nov. 16.-Five members of the party of
American congressman and private cltl-
zens who spent yesterday and part OF
today visiting the Belgian war zone
had a narrow escape from death or IN

those peculiar freaks of fortune which
soldiers call luck because the shots
came in a shower.

The other seven members of the party

Both these situations We're fraught

Thirty Yards From Enemy.
The visitors spent the night near the
trenches in the vicinity of Dixmude.
The Belgian and German lines run
within 80 yards of each other at one
point. and it was there that the five
men came into danger. At that distance
it is quite easy to sec any one in the
opposite trench who raises his head
above the top. Only the usual firing
was under way when the party, accom-
panied by Belgian officers. reached this
place.
The Americans were having an ex-
cellent view of the lines when several
of them got into an exposed position
and We're seen by the Germans. Sud.
denly the enemy machine guns nearby
began a vicious chatter and bullets
came whizzing across the narrow strip
of No Mans Land at the rate of sew
eral hundred a minute. Before the Wis.
itors realized the situation, bullets Were
wrizzing all about them like a storm
of hail and dirt was being thrown into
their faces. as some of the steel pellets
struck the top of the trench. They al
bent down for cover, but all might
easily have been caught. since it does
not take more than a small fraction OF
a minute for a machine gun to account
for a number Of men if the shooting i,
