THIS Journey masaneA the FealiHa1ion
Of their hopes 20 gee to the firing hne.
They appeared confident. ready,
eager, yet withal there was Q certain
ineradieable soleuanfty.
The tTaeks numbered slowly and
steadily along. After Q while they
halted for rapid Inspection of parts.
Il was q relief to get out and stretch
ones legs. The men strOlled about,
getting Q drink of water and absorb
ing the warmth OF the sunlight
which came through the clouds for
the first time In o week.
The sharp order to Femount rang
out. The men 0beyed with alacrity.
Il was good to have stern officers on
an important journey like this and
when the body yearned for action.
The line Of trucks started again. The
last stage Of the journey had begun.
Two hours would carry thesa men to
their destination. During that truck
ride the fighting spirit of the --
Regiment was increased 100 per cent.
When once the shells began to fly, ac-
ton would take the place Of thought.
That action, however, would instinct
lively follow the law Of habit and
obey the germ of will power charged
by conscious thought before the
battle.
This regiment was positively
charged. It spanked from the top
sergeant's finger tips; IL flowed
around each man with warm tingle
Of reinsurance. Suddenly the guns
near at hand spoke and deadly thun-
der vibrated the very benches in the
trucks on which the arriving sol
diefs sat. It was the breaking Of
! the vacuum tube; the generated
charge began to dow.
The men piled down from the
trucks with smiles On their faces,
joking continuously % they disen-
tangled each others equipment. Con-
fdence shone from their faces: as
surance from their bearing. Their
captain dismissed them 20 their posts.
| Half the battle was already won.
