With the American Army, some
where in France, Oct. 30-Under ter
rible weather conditions, the American
army * exchanging blow for blow with
the Boches, learning war by contact
An American lieutenant OF the signal
corps who was working in a communi-
eating trench was slightly wounded to-
day. He has the honor of being the
first American soldier to be hit in ac-
ton.
France today Is a vast stretch OF
icy rivulets and mud bogs. Rain and
snow are beating down day after day.
KNEE DEEP IN WATER.
Through it all, the Sammies are
manning their guns, perfecting their
craftsmanship by shelling enemy en-
placements while the infantry in some
places actually stands knee deep in
almost freezing water.
The American infantry stand their
WATCHES on the front lines and take
their regular turns at patrols into the
bleak, deadly waste that is No Mans
land. 1t is a desolate section where
the blizzards swirl of snowflakes or
shoets of rain make it often impossible
to see more than few yards
AWAIT THE SUMMONS.
Nearby American engineers, con-
stantly alert, clustered around a feeble
fire in half demolished farmhouse
await hourly summonses from across
an almost impassa BILE terrain, to re
pair trenches. Returning wet through
ana stupefied with exhaustion, they
throw themselves on the floor, wrap up
in blankets and snatch -wink-most-
ly without an opportunity to change
their clothing.
Accredited American correspondents
ON Snndry had their first oppori unity
TO VISIT the Sammies at the front -their
gun pits, dugouts and trenches.
TELLS OF FIRST SHOT.
We staggered single file across n
valley TO see the gun that fired the
first shot of the war. A young lieu
tenant from Indiana told with boyisb
enthusiasm how that first shot came
to be fired. He interspersed his run
ming narrative with cryptic commands
TO his gunners, working under ground.
The French officers told us Il was
impossible to procure horses to haul
that particular gun here until day-
break the lieutenant explained. He
said II we wanted to drag il up-by
man power--we might beat the others
and thus have the opportunity of fir
ing the first shot.
FOUND 1T TOUGH JOB.
Our men knew it would be tough
job-but they We're anxious to shoot
the first shell. So they work ed through
all that night in the rain and mud
And they got the gun in position just
before daybreak-"
With hardly a perceptible pause, the
lieutenant lifted his voice abruptly
here to shout:
Ready to fire"
1t must have been command to the
gunners in the subterranean chamber
for almost instantly a gun chashed,
followed by a swishing shell aimed at
the enemy's entanglements.

The lieutenant didn't stop for the
noise. He resumed: "Daybreak and
myself watched from an observation

shell-the first fired by an American
gun--burst near a party OF Germans.

Answer-Think clearly in your mind
exactly what idea you want to express
before you start your speech mechan-
ism to work. In other words, do not
start to talk until you know definitely
In your own mind what idea it il you
desire to express then think only of
the idea you wish to express and
speak 1t slowly. Do not be afraid and
do not let yourself think Of any pos
sibility Of failure or of breaking down.
The reason why people stutter is be-
cause they do not concentrate their
thought upon the subject they are
speaking on or the idea which they
wish to convey. They permit them
selves to think that they might not be
able to speak clearly and in this way
the mind is thinking of two things at
the same time, distracting the atten-
ton; with the result that the ma
chinery of speech becomes "flabber-
gasted."
