one else's business to pick that man
up Next, according to the queer psy-
chology Of battle, began to lose my
sensation Of fear and nervousness.
After I saw second man 60 down 1
gave my attention principally to con-
liberation Of the irregularities Of the
German parapet ahead Of US, picking
out the spot where we were to enter
the trench. It seems silly to say it,
but I seemed to get some sort of satis-
faction out OF the realization that we
had lost the percentage viii we
might be expected to lose going over.
Now, 1t seemed, the rest of us were
safe until we should reach the next
phase Of our undertaking. l heard d.
recttons given, and 1 gave some my
self. Ny voice was firm. It surprised
me, and felt almost calm. Our ar
tillery had 20 torn up the German bark
wire that it gave US no trouble at all.
We walked through 1t with only few
scratches. When We reached the low,
sandbag parapet Of the enemy trench
we tossed In few bombs and follow
ed them right over as soon as they had
exploded. There wasn't a German In
sight. They were all In their dugouts.
But we knew pretty well where every
dugout was located, and we rushed for
the entrances with our bombs. Every
thing seemed to be going Just as we
had expected 1t to go. Two Germans
ran plump into me as was rounding
a ditch angle with bomb in my hand.
They had their hands up, and each Of
them yelled:
Mercy, kameradr
passed them back, to be sent to the
rear, and the man who received them
from me chuckled aud told them to
move lively. The German trenches
were practically just as we had ex-
pected to find them, according to our
sample. They were so nearly similar
to the duplicate section in which we
had practiced that we had no trouble
finding our way in them. l was just
thinking that really the only tough
part Of the job remaining would be
getting back across No Mans Land
when it seemed that the whole earth
behind me rose in the air. For mo-
ment was stunned and half blinded
by dirt blown into my face. When /
was able to see l discovered that all
which lay behind me was mass of
upturned earth and rock, with here
and there man shaking himself or
scrambling out of 1t or lying still.
Just two minutes after we went into
their trench the Germans had explod-
ed mine under their pararet l have
always believed that in some way or
another they had learned what spot
we were to raid and had prepared for
US. Whether that's true or not, one
thing is certain-that mine blew our
organization, as we would say in Ken
lucky, "plumb to hi" And it killed
or disabled more than half of our
party.
Great Confusion.

There was much confusion among
those of us who remained on our feet.
