The Lineup.

The Lineup.
They are the same shape as turkey
egg and q little larger. Upon with
drawing the firing pin lever sets a
four second fuse going. One Of these
grenades will clean out anything liv-
ing in a ten foot trench section. It
will also kill the man who Is throwing
it if he holds 1t more than four Sec
onds after he has pulled the pin. The
third man Of each ten was an expert
bomb thrower, equipped as lightly as
possible to give him freedom Of &C.
ton. He carried few bombs himself,
but the main supply was carried by
the fourth man, who was not to throw
any unless the third man became q
casualty, In which case No. 4 was to
take his place. The third man also
carried knob kerrie, heavy bludgeon
to be used In whacking an enemy over
the head. Ours were made by fasten
ing heavy steel nuts on stout sticl
Of wood, very businesslike contri
vance. The fourth man, or bomb car
rier, besides having large supply Of
Mills grenades, had smoke bombs, tt
be used in smoking the Germans out
Of dugouts and later, If necessary, ii
covering our retreat, and also funite
bombs. The latter are very dangerous
to handle. They contain mixture Of
petrol and PHOSPHORUS and weigh
three pounds each. On exploding they
release liquid fire which will burr
through steel. -
The fifth, sixth, seventh and eight
in line were. called utility men. They
were to take the places Of any Of the
first four who might become casual
ties. In addition they carried two
Stokes gun bombs each. These weigh
nine pounds apiece, have six second
fuses and can be used in wreckine
dugouts. The ninth and tenth men
were sappers, carrying slabs of gun
cotton and several hundred yards OF
instantaneous fuse. This explosive Is
used in demolishing machine gun en-
placements and mine saps. The sap
pers were to lay their charges while
we were at work in the trenches and
explode them as soon as our party was
far enough out on the return journey
to be safe from this danger. In add
ton to these parties Of ten there were
three of us who carried bombs and had
orders to keep near the three officers
to take the place Of any one of them
that might 60 down and meanwhile to
use our own judgment about helping
the jolly old party along. I was as
signed one of the three.
In addition to the raiding party
proper there was relay call across
No Mans Land at ten PAGES interval
making a chain to show us our way
back, to assist the wounded and, in
case Of opportunity or necessity, to re-
enforce US. They were ordered not tc
leave their positions when we began
to come back until the last man Of oul
party had been accounted for. The
final section of our encourage was com.
posed Of twelve stretcher bearers, who
had been specially trained with US, sc
that they would be familiar with the
trench section which we were to raid

a s we climbed out of the shelter
~ Of our trenches for my f1rst-and,
perhaps, my last. thought-ad-
venture in No Mans Land the word
was passed:
"Over the top and give 'em hellI"
That is the British Tommies's battle
cry as they charge the enemy, and it
has often sounded up and down those
long lines In eastern France as the
British, Canadian and Australian SOL
diers so out to the fight and the death.
We were divided into six parties Of
ten men, each party having separate
duties to perform. We crouched\ for
ward. moving slowly in single file,
stumbling into shell holes and over
dead men-some very long dead-and
managing to keep in touch with each
other though the machine gun bullets
began to drop men almost immediate
". Once we were started we were
neither fearful nor ratified. We had
been drilled so long and 20 carefully
that each man knew just what he was
( to do, and he kept right on doing 1t
unless he got hit. To me 1t seemed
the ground was moving back under
me- The first ten yards were the
toughest. The thing was perfectly or
ganized. Our first party Of ten was
composed of signalers. They were pay
Ing out wires and carrying telephones
! to be used during the fifteen minutes
Of our stay In the German trenches
in communicating with our battalion
headquarters. A telephone code had
been arranged, using the names Of our
commanding officers as symbols. "Rex-
ford 1" meant First prisoners being
sent back" "Rexford 2" meant sour
first wounded being sent over;" "Rex-
ford 3" meant "We have entered Ger
man trench" The code was very COM
plete, and the signalers had been drill
ed In 1t fol, q week. In case the tele-
phone wires were cut, the signalers
were to send messages back by the
use Of rifle grenades. These are rife

projectiles which carry little metal
cylinders to contain written messages
and which burst into fame when they
strike the earth, so that they can be
easily found at night. The officer In
charge Of the signalers was to remain
at the point Of entrance, with his eyes
on his watch. It was his duty to sound
warning signal five minutes before
the end Of our time in the German
trenches.
The leader Of every party Of ten also
had whistle with which to repeat
the warning blast and then the final
blast, when each man was to drop
everything and get back Of our artil-
/ lery IRE. We were not to leave any
dead or wounded In the German trench
on account Of the Information which
the Germans might thus obtain. Be
fore starting on the raid we had re-
moved all marks from our persons, in

ELECTRICIAN MEETS
WITH INSTANT DEATH
Sioux Falls Man Grasps Wire
Carrying Big Load of
Electricity.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 2o.-Horace
Jones, an employee of the Northern
States Power company, was instantly
killed when he came in contact with
a wire carrying 1900 volts of electric
lty. Mr.. Jones, with several others was
at work connecting up a lead to a new
motor which had been installed in tho
laundry of the All Saints school and
had nearly completed the work when
the accident took place. He was work
ing on a pole near the schoo when his
fellow workmen heard his body strike
the ground. They untangled the man
from his life belt which held him to
the pole and rushed him in the COM
pany'S tool wagon to the Sioux Falls
hospital and summoned medical aid.
Examination showed a burn on each
palm of his hands and also that death
1ad been instantaneous.
MI. Jones leaves a wife and one
enid. No funeral arrangements have
been made.
