for three hours they thought l was
dead.
The attack had been repulsed after
a hard fight. Twice the Germans had
gained a foothold in our trench, but
had been driven out by counter-at-
tacks. The trench was filed with their
dead and ours. Through "A periscope

A bullet had gone through it on the
left side, just grazing my ear. The
gas had penetrated through the hole

Out of our crew of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all of the dead,
excepting those In No Mans Land. In
death there is not much distinction I;
friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the II. A. NJ. c. got busy with their
chemical sprayers, spraying out the
dugouts and low parts of the trenches
to dissipate any fumes of the German
gas which may have been lurking in
same.

Meat Balls.

Trim all the fat and skin from a
pound of round steak, put over the
fire and add a quart of cold water, an
onion, a stalk of celery, tablespoon
full of parsley and teaspoonful of
salt. Cook one hour. Soak slice of
bread in water and squeeze dry, then
mix the steak, which has been finely
minced, with a beaten egg, two table
spoonfuls of sweet fat, one teaspoon
full of salt and dash of pepper. Make
into balls as large as an egg, and boil
ten minutes in the broth. Brown a Ia
blespoonful of flour in the same
amount of fat; add the broth, stirring
until thick. Pour the gravy over the
meat balls and serve.
When a few frankfurts must serve
a larger number than expected, slice
them thin and fry in a little fat, in
stead of boiling them. Serve with
fried potatoes.
