one elsc'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 l saw a second man go down l gave my attention principally to con sideration 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 lk but seemed to get some sort of Bade- faction out of the realization that we had lost the percentage which 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. I heard d. rcctions given, and gave some n.y. self. My voice was firm. It surprtsed me, and l cit almost calm OuB ar tillery had 50 torn up the German barb wire that A, gave us no trouble at all. We walked through It with only a few scratches. When We reached the low. sandbag parapet of the enemy trench We tossed in q few bombs and follow ed them right OYpr as soon as they had exploded. ThaTe wasn't German h 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 it to go. Two Germans ran plump into me as I was rounding a ditch angle with bomb In my hand. They had their hands up. and each of them yelled:
 Mercy. kamerad"
 I passed them back, to be sent to the rear, and the man who received them from me chuckled and 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 Eps just thinking that really the only tough part of the job remaining would be getting back across No MRn'H Land when 1t seemed that the whole earth behind me rose in the air, For c no ment I was atunned and half .hltnded by dirt blown Into my face When l was able to see. TSdiscoyeged that all which lay behind me was a mass of upturned earth and rock, with here and there a man shaking hlmseB or scrambling out of 1t or lying stt1,
 Just two minutes after we went into their trench the Germans had explod- ad a mine under their parRpet 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 nok one thing is certain-that mine blew our organization, as We would say in Ken lucky, plumb to ,h-l" And t Killed or disabled more than half of our party. =. ---......

case before the supreme court. yes.
terday. The divorce in question was
granted at Reno on the ground of
cruelty. Mrs. Blakeslee seeks to have
the case reversed because cruelty Is
not cause of divorce in Illinois, the
state from which both parties came.
In the meantime Mr.. Blakeslee has
remarked and should the case be re.
versed he would find himself in quite
mess of trouble-as would many
others who have secured divorces in
this state.
Whether or not persons may come
to Nevada, institute proceedings and
secure divorces on grounds which
are not held to be causes for divorce
in the state from which they came. II
appears is one that has so far not
been decided by the courts OF this
state. The outcome of this case will
be watched with considerable interest
and its effects in the event of re
