pounding certain of our positions.

headquarters and was talking with the
colonel.

swered it and repeated the mysterious
figures 'H-72-B-9", jOtting the numerals
down on note pad.
Selling another telephone he demand
ed connection with certain battery po-
sitions and repeated the numerals to
them, with seemingly unintelligible in
struetions.
Its urgent" he said, just before
ringing off.
Two minutes later the American guns
set the sky ablaze, venting their fury
against the bOehe batteries.
Whole sprays and clusters of vari-eol-
Ored rockets and star shells shot up
from the enemy trenches in a manner
that indicated excitement in that diree-
tion. The signals and revealing lights
lowered over No Mans Land, casting
