The enemy's persistent aerial

The Germans have not dug ia

CHAPTER Xxx.
"Chats With Fritz"

We were swimming in money, from
the receipts of our theatrical venture,
and had forgotten all about the war,
when an order came through that our
brigade would again take over their
sector of the line.
The day that these orders were IS
sued. our captain assembled the COM
pany and asked for volunteers to go to-
the Machine Gun school at st. Omar.
volunteered and was accepted.
Sixteen men from our brigade left
for the course In machine gunnery.
This course lasted two weeks and we
rejoined our unit and were assigned to
the brigade machine gun company. 1t
almost broke my heart to leave my
company mates.
The gun we used was the Vickers,

section 1. gun No. 2, and the first time

trench.
During the day our gun would be
/ dismounted on the fire step ready for
q
the Lewis gunners. At "stand TO" we
would mount our gun on the parapet
and go on watch beside II until "stand
down" in the morning. Then the gun
would be dismounted and again placed
in readiness on the fire step.
We did eight days in the front-line
trench without anything unusual hap
pening outside of the ordinary trench
routine. On the night that we were 10
'carry out" bombing raid against the
German lines was pulled off. This raid
ing party consisted Of sixty company
men. sixteen bombers. and four Lewis
machine guns with their crews.
The raid took the Boches by surprise
and was a complete success, the party
bringing back twenty-one prisoners.
The Germans must have been awful
" sore, because they turned loose 9

mics" and "whizz bangs" intermixed
The shells were dropping into our front
line like hailstones.
To get even, we could have left the
prisoners in the fire trench, in charge
of the men on guard and let them click
Fritz's strafeing but Tommy does moi
treat prisoners that way.
Five of them were brought into my
dugout and turned over TO me so thai
they would be safe from the German
fire.
In the candlelight, they looked very
much shaken, nerves gone and chalkJ
faces. with the exception OF one.

MACHINE GUNNER SERVING lN FRANCE

II an English regiment was to be re-
Heved by the wild Irish, Tommy would
tell the Saxons, and Immediately vol
ley of Bonner und Blitzens" could
be heard and IL was Fritz's turn TO get
a crick In his back from STOPPING, and
the people in Berlin would close their
windows.
Usually when an Irishman takes over
a trench, just before stand down" In
the morning he sticks his rife over
the top, aimed in the direction of Ber-
lin, and engages in what is known as
the mad minute" This consists of
firing fifteen shots in a minute. He
is not aiming at anything IN particular
just sends over each shot with a
prayer, hoping that one Of his strays
will get some poor unsuspecting Fritz
in the napper hundreds of yards be-
hind the lines. 1t generally does; that's
the reason the Boches hate the man
from Erin's isle.
The Saxons. though better than the
.Prussians and Bayarians, have nasty
trait of treachery in their makeup.
At one point of the line where the
trenches '7ere very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
II was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to 1t, while at the foot he would
place tins of bully beef, flags, sweets,
and other delicacies that he had re-
tceived from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted of a
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars, and occasionally a little beer
but a funny thing, Tommy never re-
turned with the beer unless 1t was in
side OF him. His platoon got Whit of
his breath one night and the offendingl
Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English sergeant,
crawled to the stake and as he tried to
detach the German paper a bomb ex-i
ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz,
had set a trap and gained another vic;
tim which was only one more black
mark against him in the book Of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-
iations were severed.
Returning to Tommy. I think his
spirit is best shown in the questions he
asks. 1t is never "who is going to win"
but always "how long will it take"

LEGAL NOTICE

that night the conversation had turned,
to the contemplate" English, and the
captain had made a wager that he.
would hang his cap on the English
barbed wire to show his contempt for
the English sentries. The wager was
accepted. At eight o'clock the captain
and he had crept out into No Mans
Land to carry out this wager.
They had gotten about halfway
across when the drink took effect and
the captain fell asleep. After about
two hours Of vain attempts the unter-.
offizier had at last succeeded In wax
ing the captain, reminded him of his
bet, and warned him that he would be
the laughing stock of the officers mess
If he did not accomplish his object, but
the captain was trembling all over and
insisted on returning to the German
lines. In the darkness they lost their
bearings and crawled toward the Eng
lish trenches. They reached the barbed
wire and were suddenly challenged by
our sentry. Being too drunk to realize
, that the challenge was in English, the
captain refused to crawl back. Finally
the unteroffizier convinced his superior
| that they were in front of the English
wire. Realizing this too late, the cap
tain drew his revolver and with a NUT
tered curse fired blindly toward our
trench. His bullet no doubt killed our
captain.
Then the bomb came over and there
he was, dying-and a good job too, we
thought. The captain dead? Well, his
men wouldn't weep at the news.

! lmation the unteroffizier diec

continue to fight for pustice and the
liberty OF nations with never a
thought OF a compromise peace that
would leave Prussia equipped to re-
turn to the assault on nations that
entered the struggle to prevent Ger
many from demolishing France and

This declaration was made by Sena-
tor Hamilton Lewis of Illinois In
dinner speech here today.
II have been questioned" continued
Senator Lewis, whether America VIII
fight on, should the prospect of peace
arise that would be a compromise
with the contentious on which Amer
ica is insisting.
France and the world must know
and understand that America did not
enter the war without measuring the
extent she must go to establish the
principles for which our lives are
being given.
"France and the world need never
doubt that Americas position will be
every sacrifice for liberty and no
compromise with despOtism."

WOULD ESTABLISH
RUSS MONARCHY

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-'T think the ul-
innate idea of the Germans in Russia
is the establishment of some sort of
Russian monarchy" declared Lord
Robert Cecil today in answer to the
question whether he believed that the
Germans had any definitely prepared
plan in the event of the fall OF the
BolsheYilIi government.
81 think Germany's present idea
said Lord Cecil, 'is to keep Russia
as much disturbed as possible. her
first object being to get food from
there and her second object being to
prevent Russia from arising and
uniting to reattack Germany. II Ger
many sees no definite change in Rus
sia she will continue to dominate and
further disorganize and then try to
restore a monarchy.
I'VE have had no direct news from
Russia for a fortnight except rumors
which / cannot substantiate. These
are that the Bolsheviki are in some
kind Of agreement with the Ger
mans whereby the latter are to help
restore the Bolsheviki power in south
ern Russia,> in return for which the
BoIsheviki are to obtain wheat there
for Germany. 1t is even suggested
that German troops be dispatched tc
Siberia on the pretext OF looking after
the Austrian and German prisoners
and incidentally ousting the Czecho
Slovaks.
''The Bolsheviki and German inter
ests being the same, see no reason
why they should not pool their inter
ests."
