n FEW days after the bombing
n raid, which ended so disastrous
ly for us, our battalion was re-
lieved from duty on the front line, and
the tip we got was that we were to go
down to the big show then taking
place on the Somme. Our relief was
a division Of Australians. You see,
the sector which we had held in Bel
GUM was a sort Of preparatory school
for the regular fighting over in France
1t wasn't long before we got into
what you might call the big league
contest, but in the meanwhile we had
a little rest from battling Fritz and
the opportunity to observe some things
which seem to me to be worth telling
about. Those of you who are exclu-
sively fond Of the stirring detail Of
war, such as shooting and being shot
at and bombing and bayoneting, need
only skip little of this. We had an
entirely satisfactory amount of smoke
and excitement later.
AS soon as our relief battalion had
got in we moved back to Poperinghe
for a couple of days rest. We were a
pretty contented and jovial lot, our
platoon especially. We were all glad to
get away from the strain Of holding a
front trench, and there were other adj
vantages. For instance. the altera-
tons of our muster due to casualties
had not come through battalion head
quarters, and therefore we had in our
platoon sixty-three rum rations night
and morning and only sixteen men.

trenches were all blown in. and every
thing had to come to US overland, with
the result that we never were quite
sure when we would get ammunition,
rations or relief forces. The most aw-
full thing was that the soil all about us
was filled with freshly buried men. If
We undertook to cut a trench or en-
large a funk hole our spades struck
into human flesh and the explosion of
a big shell along our line sent decOm-
posed and dismembered and sickening
mementOs of an earlier fight shower
ing among us. We lived in the muck
and stencil of glorious" war, those of
us who lived.
The German Dugout-and What
They Found.
Here and there along this line were
the abandoned dugouts of the Ger
mans, and we made what use Of them
we could, but that was little. l had
orders one day to locate a dugout and
prepare it for use as battalion head
quarters. When l led a squad In to
clean it up the odor was so Overpower-
ing that we had to put on our gas
masks. On entering we first saw two
dead nurses with our CHASTITY fash
lights, one standing with her arm
around post. just as she had stood
when gas or conclusion killed her.
Seated at table in the middle Of the
place was the body Of an old general
of the German medical corps. his head
fallen between his hands. The task
Of cleaning up was too dreadful for
us. We just tossed in four or FIVE
fumite bombs and beat it out of there.
A few hours later we went into the
scared and empty cavern, made the
roof safe with new timbers and mott
fed battalion headquarters that the
place could be occupied.
During this time witnessed scene
which. with some others, shall never
forget. An old chaplain of the Cana
dian forces came to our trench section
seeking the grave Of his son, which
had been marked for him on a rude
map by an officer who had seen the
young mans burial. We managed to
find the spot, and at the old chaplain's
request we eXhumed the body. Some
Of us suggested to him that he give us
the Identification marks and retire out
of range of the shells which were
bursting all around us. We argued
that it was unwise for him to remain
in danger, but what we really intended
was that he should be saved the horror
of seeing the pitiful thing which our
spades were about to uncover.
81 shall remain" was all he said
HE was my boy"
1t proved that we had found the
| right body. One of our men tried to
clear the features with his handker-
chief, but ended by spreading the
handkerchief over the face. The old
chaplain stood beside the body and
| removed his trench helmet. barring his
gray head to drizZle of rain that was
falling. Then while we stood by ST.

Of His Achievements.

New York.-PrOf. Michael /. Pupin
of Columbia university has just de-
vised and will soon announce perfect
method of eliminating static interior
ence with wireless transmission. This
interference has been the great draw
back to wireless telegraphy since that
means of communication was in
vented.
The new invention, If it accOmplishes
perfectly its object, will be listed as
one of the most important electro
physical discoveries ever made. I'm

make it possible to use the wireless for
"a hours day every day in the year.
The Importance of the invention in
time of war is incalculable.
S0tUC 10 al oUS
The invention became known recent
ly when Columbia university alumni
gave a testimonial dinner to Professor
Pupin at DelmOnicO's. Although the
dinner was arranged primarily for en-
cheering graduates, all alumni of all
schools were asked to honor the man
who, as an immigrant boy, landed at
Castle Garden in the fall of 1874.
Professor Pupin thus singled out by
Columbia to be hOnOred as its fore
most contributor to science and en-
cheering, has a unique place In Co
lumbia's history. DR.. Cary T. Hutch
inson, in the Columbia Alumni News,
sketches his life.
When the boy landed at the Bat
terry he, wearing a red fez, started up
Broadway. NewsbOys began to poke
fun at him; there was a fight, which
the immigrant won. He went back to
the Battery and was taken as labor
er to Maryland; there he drove a mule
team. He worked his way back to New
York, usually serving as a hired man
on farms.
In New York Pupin, the youth, got
any work possible, studying nights and
reading the newspapers assiduously.
He attended night school at Cooper
Union, saving his money, and by 1879
he had 1911 boarded. He took an ex-
animation for Columbia and won a
scholarship. He was graduated In
four years and then he studied In Eng
