After march Of Is kilometers we
reached the town of Jametz. Here
everything was offered us by the In
habitants. We were treated with cot.
fee, milk and meat. We went on early
the next morning and in the evening
arrived at Damvillers, where we heard
that we were about five kilometers be-
hind the firing line. The same evening
we advanced to the little village Of
Wavrille, which was, our destination.
We took up our quarters in house
which had been abandoned by it's In
habftants. We were attached to the
Ninth reserve division and the next
morning went to our position. Fifteen
OF us were assigned to duty with an
Infantry company. On the entire line,
as far as we could see, there was no
musketry fire. Only the artillery on
both sides kept up weak action. We
were not accustomed to this uuietude
In the trenches, but the men who had
been there for some time told us that
frequently not single shot was Ared
for days and that no activity was
shown.

MCLAUGHLIN Company Of Raeford has
been announced by the Food Admins
tration, this contribution being made
by the company in lieu Of the issu-
ance of a blacklist order by the Food
Administration, which would have put
the company out of business.
The MCLAUGHLIN Company was de-
clared guilty of prof1reering, having
charged excessive margins on a car
load Of meat, 1t being estimated by
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page that the excessive profit was
equivalent to $1,000. In addition to
profteering, as charged, the McLauch-
lin Company was charged with acting
as q wholesaler without license, with
purchasing larger quantities Of food
stuffs than they were allowed to carry
In stock at one time, and with .disre-
garding in other ways the rules and
regulations Of the Food Administrator.

opinion that there has not been a

Carolina. Inspectors of the Food Ad-
m1nistration have been instructed to
make. exhaustive Investigations wher-

Night now came, yet no sleep nor
rest was in sight. No one knew how
much farther we would have to retire
before there would be a respite. The
unfamiliar surroundings indicated to
ms that we were not returning over the
road which we had traversed when, as
vfctors, we marched to the Marine.
With this and similar thoughts, hour
after hour passed. Some OF us ran
along, others actually walked in their
sleep. Our boots were filed with wa
ter, yet we had to keep on. Thus the
night passed.

guard. They formed long columns
which they opened to let us pass

ranks. We gave sigh of relief, for
we were at last free Of hostile artil-
lery fire. After marching about five
more hours, we Joined a company of
infantry which fortunately had saved
its field kitchen. It was not quite
dark when we reached the village.
Here we were billeted in order to
get as much rest as possible. But we
all knew that we could rest only as
long as the rear guard was able to
keep back the enemy. We were placed
In the village school. Because of the
shortage of provisions we were al
lowed to use our timed supplies, but
none Of us had any left. This consist

long since been eaten up and so we
were compelled to lie down with our
hunger still unsatisfied. -

pared ourselves a meal of fowl and
whatever else we discovered. When
ever anyone espied a chicken there
were twenty men racing for it. Toward
evening long provision trains arrived,
as well as fresh troops. They went
to the front in long columns and re-
lieved the exhausted men.
Soon the whole village was crowded
with soldiers. After rest Of tive days
the regular nightly pioneer service was
resumed. Every night we were sent
to the front-line trenches to build wire
obstacles. The French found us out
by the noise required to set up the
posts, so that we had fresh losses
almost every night. We completed the
task Of setting up barbed wire entan-
clements In the sector assigned to us
in about fourteen days. During this
period we rested by day, but at night
we went out regularly. But our rest
had many Interruptions, for the enemy

larly. This always happened at GER
tain hours, for instance, In the begin

O'Clock, fifty to eighty shells fell in the
village. Sometimes they were shrap-
mel, sent over by the field artillery. We
soon grew accustomed to this, despite
the fact that soldiers of other detach-
ments were killed or wounded daily.
Once or twice during this noon bonn
bardment shrapnel shell fell into our
room and burst without doing much
damage. The room would be filed
with dust and smoke yet no one would
think Of leaving. This firing was re-

large. Most OF the men killed were
shot through the head, the trench pro-
tecting the remainder of their bodies.
Firing increased in intensity as
night fell. Although nothing could be
seen we continued firing all the time
because we thought this would prevent
the enemy from making any attacks.
Through the nights munitions and ma
terial were brought up and new men
arrived. Great quantities Of sandbags
were sent us, which were filed and
used as protection against bullets.
The. pioneers were relieved toward
morning and gathered in farmyard
behind the firing line. The farm had
been spared by the cannon, and even
all the stock remained. This booty
was soon to be consumed. Several
hundred soldiers came and wild hunt
ensued for ducks, chickens, geese, pig
cons, etc. About five hundred Of these
were caught, after which everybody
began cooking. Not far away 80 cows
and heifers were seized and turned
over to the field kitchens. Hay and
grain were carried away, even the
and the lumber used for firewood. In
q few hours a beautiful farm had be-

morning, but he had suddenly disap-
peared with his wife and children, and
nobody knew where he was.
The next night we were sent into
the trenches again. There was little
to do, so we talked with the men who
had REINFORCED us from the interior
of Germany. They knew absolutely
nothing of our retreat from the Marine
and were astonished when we pictured
to them the events of the last few
days.
The following morning we left the
trench before daybreak and went into
quarters at Cernay-en-Dormois. We
were billeted in the middle of the viii
lage in an abandoned house. Our field
kitchens failed to arrive, so we pre-

We were once more aroused at

utmost haste made ready to resume

march through the whole night. We
were now more exhausted than ever,

The rain had stopped before ten
o'clock in the morning at which hour
we left the road and made camp.
There was a general sigh of relief, for
this long-continued, wearing retreat
had brought our troops into a state
now become uncomfortable. We began
to dig ourselves in. Before our
trenches were even half completed q
literal hailstorm of shrapnel fell
among us. Our losses were so great
that it became impossible to remain.
We received orders to retire at once.
We marched over the fields until dark,
when we began once more to dig In.
We were now near the village Of Ger
nay-en-DormOis. 1t was pitch dark and
a heavy fog lay over everything. OF
the enemy we knew nothing. With the
utmost silence and speed we dug our
selves in deeply, stopping frequently
to fc%n n
preached, only to disappear quickly.
Here we received our first re-
endorsements. They arrived in long
columns In the darkness. All were
fresh troops-most of them reserves.
The majority wore blue uniforms. This
rs, well as the nature of their equip
ment, indicated to us that they had
been hastily fitted out and transported.
None Of them had ever heard the
whistle of bullet and many asked
anxiously whether it was dangerous
here. They brought numerous ma
chine guns, and in an instant we had
everything prepared for defense.
At daylight the French began the at
tack. They made several onslaughts
throughout the day but without sue
cess, for our re-enforcements were
large.
No one realized at this stage Of the
battle that it was the beginning of a
murderous, exhaustlng struggle for pO-
gitions.
We were to fight here from the same
trench, month after month, without
gaining territory. The wounded, who
