There was . beautiful moon. and

1t was hard to realize that there was
q war on. During the evening the Ger.
mans started singing. and heard
some Of the most beautiful music l
ever listened to in my life. The song
might start just opposite us. and It
would be taken up all along the line,

and. believe me, that fellow could sing

ously. and then we sang some more
popular songs for them. and so 1t went
until the wee small hours Of the morn

During the night . couple of our
chaps crawled up almost to the Ger

a monograph and a record. They
wound up the machine. put on the rec

back. unwinding the string as they
came. The next morning they pulled
