our noses worse than the cooties. They
certainly were game little devils, and
came right back at US.
So most Of the poilus threw the
dope at Fritz and fought the ccoties
hand to hand.
There was plenty Of food in the
trenches most Of the time. though once
in while, during heavy lombard
mcnt. the fatigue-usually corporal's
guard-would get killed In the COM
munratlon trenches and we would not
have time to get out to the fatigue and
rescue the grub they were bringing.
Sometimes you could not find either
the fatigue or the grub when you got
to the point where they had been hit.
But, as say, we were well fed most
Of the time, and got second and third
helplngs until we had to open our
belts. But as the Llmeys say: "Gaw
blimey, the chuck was rough" They
served thick soup of meat and vege-
tables In bowls the size Of wash ba.
sins. black coffee with or without
sugar-mostly without and plenty
OF bread.
Also. we had preserves In tins. just
like the Limcys. If you send any par.
GELS over, do not nut any apple and
plum jam In them or the man who gets
1t will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any
I.imey soldier and he will tell you the
same. never thought there was So
much jam In the world. No Mans
Land looked like city dump. Most
! Of us took IT, after a while, Just to
get the bread. Early IN the war they
used the tins to make bombs Of, but
that was before Mills came along With
his hand grenade. Later On they fat.
tened out the tins and lined the dug.
outs with them.
Each man carried an emergency ra,
ton In his bag. This consisted of bully
beef. biscuits, etc. This ration was
never used except in a real emergency
because no one could tell when !,
might mean the difference between
life and death to him. When dsyllgh,
catches man In shell hole or at q
listening post out In No Mans Land
he does not dare to crawl back TO his
trench before nightfall. and then is the
time that his emergency ration comes
In handy. Also, the stores failed tc
reach us sometimes. as I have said
and we had to use the emergency
rations.
Sometimes we received raw meat
and fried 1t in our dugouts. We built

lowed him. Inside the house was
pnssageway under the ruins. It was
about seven feet wide and fifty feet
long, should judge.
At the other end was the great old
49," poking its nose out Of a hole in
the wall. The gun captain and the
crew were sitting around waiting the
word for action, and they seemed to
know Brown well. I was surprised at
that, but still more SO when he told
me I could examine the gun II
wanted to, just as If he owned 1t.
So sat In the seat and trained the
cross wires on IN object, opened and
closed the breech and examined the
recoil.
Then Brown said: "Well, Ch!nk.
you'll see some real gunnery now." and
they passed the word and took sta
tions. My eyes bulged out when I
saw Brown take his station with them
"Silence" is about the first com.
mand gun crew gets when It is going
into action. but forgot all about 1t,
and shouted out and asked Brown how
he got to be a gunner. But he only
grinned and looked dopey, as usual.
Then I came to and expected to get a
call down from the officer. but he only
grinned and so did the crew. II
seems they had It all framed to spring
on me. and they expected I would be
surprised.
So we put cotton in our ears and
the captain called the observation
tower short distance away and they
gave him the range. Then the captain
called 412S meters" to Brown. They
placed the nose of a she'll In a fuse
adjuster and turned the handle until
It reached scale 412S. This set the
fuse to explode at the range given.
Then they slammed the shell into the
breech. locked It shut and Brown sent
his best to Fritz.
The barrel slipped back. threw ont
the shell case Mt our feet and returned
over cushion Of grease. Then we
received the results by telephone from
the observation tower. After he had
fred twelve shots the captain said to
Brown. "You should never waste your.
self In infantry. son." And old dopey
Brown just stood there and grinned.
That was Brown every time. he
knew about more things than you could
think Of. He had read about gunnery
and fooled around at DIxmude until
they let him play with the "75's." and
finally here he was, giving his kindest
to old Fritz with the rest Of them.

while he unravelled his simple mar
rative in a manner which left deep
conviction. .

Yost paid high tribute to Bemidji
and her patriotism. He said when
he was ordered to report to Wash

to Minnesota and see what the mat.

was in state of lethergy, that there
was but little patriotism and nc
