The first shell fired by the Amer:.

aimed at a group of twelve or fifteen
Boches, landed in the middle and when
the smoke cleared and the dust set.
tied there were no Boches.
The gun was aimed by college boys,
cool and collected.
A 1.-the, understood, but tremendous.
ly enthusiastic Irish lad did the firing.
The first man I'VE the top was q
young lieutenant, just a fine type Of

The Germans. forty yards away, I'm.
courteously fired upon him, w%hereupon
he whisked out an automotic pistol,
killed one, wounded two and then be.
thought himself to slip back into the
trenches.
Aamoment later he went back over
the top and collected the three empty
shells from his automatic. One lie

the other to a certain fair young per.
