CHAPTER XIII.
Gas Attacks and Spies.

Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. 1t
did not catch us unawares, because the
wind had been made to order, that is,
1t was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate Of
about five miles per hour.
Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas.
We had new man at the periscope,
on this afternoon In question; was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
"There's a sort of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out In
front, its coming"
But waited for no more, grabbing
my bayonet, which was detached from
the rifle, I gave the alarm by banging
an empty shell case, which was hang
ing near the periscope. At the same
instant, gongs started ringing down the
trench, the signal for Tommy to don
his respirator, or smoke helmet, as we
call It,
Gas travels quickly, so you must not
lose any time; you generally have
about eighteen or twenty seconds In
which to adjust your gas helmet.

Showing How Fritz Is Fooled.

rapidly, in fact, got better than his
teacher. / commenced to feel jealous.
When he had completely mastered the
tune, he started sweeping the road
again and we clicked 1t worse than
ever. But he signed his death warrant
by doing so, because my friendship
turned TO hate. Every time he fred he
played that tune and we danced.
The boys In the battalion gave us
the "Hal Haw They weren't in on
our little frameup.
The originator Of the ruse and the
other two gunners had Fritz's location
tapped to the minute; they mounted
their two guns, and also gave me the
range. The next afternoon was set for
the grand finale.
Our three guns, with different eleva-
lions, had their fire so arranged, that,
opening up together, their bullets
would suddenly drop on Fritz nike a
hailstorm.
About three the next day, Fritz start
ed ''pup-pupping" that tune. blew a
sharp blast on whistle, it was the sig
nal agreed upon; we turned loose and
Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the
middle OF q bar. We had cooked his
goose, and our ruse had worked. After
firing two belts each, to make sure Of
our job, we hurriedly dismounted our
guns and took cover In the dugout. We
knew what to expect soon. We didn't
have to wait long, three salvos of
"whlzz-bangs" came over from Fritz's
artillery, a further confirmation that
we had sent that musical machines gun
ner on his Westward-bound Journey.
That gun never bothered us again.
We were the heroes of the battalion,
our captain congratulated us, said 1t
was neat piece of work, and, conse-
quently. we were all pulled up over the
stunt.
There are several ways Tommy uses

Fritz became worse nuisance than
ever. He was getting fresher and more
careless every day, took all kinds of
liberties with us-thought he was in
vincible.
Then one of our crew got brilliant
idea and we were all enthusiastic to
put 1t to the test.
Here was his scheme:
When firing my gun, I was to play
my tune, and Fritz, no doubt, would
fall for 1t, try to initiate me as an
added insult. This gunner and two
others would try, by the sound, to To-
cate Fritz and his gun. After having
got the location, they would mount
two machine guns in trees, in little
clump Of woods to the left Of our GENE
terry, and while Fritz was in the middle
Of his lesson, would open up and trust
to luck. BY our calculations, it would
take at least a week to pull off the
stunt.
If Fritz refused to swallow our bait,
it would be impossible to locate his
special gun and that's the one we were
after, because they all sound alike,
slow pup-pup-pup.
Our prestige was hanging by a
thread. In the battalion we had to en-
dure all kinds of insults and fresh re-
marks as to our ability In silencing
Fritz. Even to the battalion that Ger
man gun was sore spot.
Next day, Fritz opened up as usual.
let him fire away for while and
then butted In with my "pup-pup-pup-
pup-pup-pup." I kept this UP quite
while, used two belts of ammunition.
Fritz had stopped firing to listen. Then
he started in; sure enough, he had
fallen for our game, his gun was trying
to initiate mine, but, at first he made
horrible mess Of that tune. Again /
butted in with few bars and stopped.
Then he tried to copy what / had
played He was good sport all right,
because his bullets were going away
over our heads, must have been firing
into the air. / commenced to feel
friendly toward him.
This duet went on for five days.
Fritz was good pupil and learned

PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American proves
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.

Air raids on London are no longer
the sure-fire stuff for heartening the
German people that they once were,
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid up to the English coast
and then have to raid right back homo
again. A young American is given
credit for the success Of the British In
surrounding their capital with shrap-
mel barrage whenever the German fly
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
In the British aviation service was as
signed to test out an airplane detector
which was expected to discover the APP
proach OF airplanes before they could
be heard. so to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make 1t possible to tell whether
the approaching plane were German
Or British,
His musical studies had trained the
Americans hearing to a high degree
however, He listened through the In
etrument for several days while only
British planes flew within its range.
Then he heard a different note. A Ger
man raldlng squadron was approach
ing.
The American had discovered that
British planes hum in G-minor. He
found that the German raiders are
tuned in B-flat. Now the British avia-
tion service keeps men about the capt.
tai with their ears close to detectors,
and whenever airplanes are heard
vibrating In B.fiat barrage is imme-
6iately ordered.

CARED LITTLE FOR POLITICS
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking for the Law, and
Loved to Fish.

president Cleveland loved the law
better than he did politics" remarked
II. o. Brown. former resident of Buff
falo. to a reporter of the Washington
Post. 'iIad he considered his own de-
sires he would never have left his prac-
tce for political office doubt IL even
the prospect of becoming president
would have induced him to enter poll
tics.
1T was my privilege to know Mr..
Cleveland when he was practlcing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed
gIittering success as lawyer. He had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned but he delighted In
intricate legal problems, and much pre-
ferfed to take a case that involved ap-
parently hopeless questions. 1t could
not be said he was good pleader, and
while the average person was not at
tracted by his addresses In court,
Judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them, because they were
profound and logical
"When he was not engaged In law,
Cleveland delighted In utter abandon
ment of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to fish. recall that when some
Of his Democratic friends wanted him
10 become candidate for mayor he
said: I don't want any more of poll
ties. want to stay right here In Erie
county, where | Gun go fishing occa-
slonally. ] do not care If | never get
outside the borders Of Erie"
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-08-10

to disguise the location of his machine
gun and get his range. Some OF the
most commonly used stunts are as fol-
lows:
AT night, when he mounts his gun
over the top of his trench and wants
to get the range of Fritz's trench he
adopts the method Of what he terms
getting the sparks" This consists of
firing bursts from his gun until the
bullets hit the German barbed wire.
He can tell when they are cutting the
wire, because q bullet when 1t hits
wire throws out blue electric spark.
Machine-gun fire is very damaging to
wire and causes many wing party
to 90 out at night when 1t Is quiet to
repair the damage.
To disguise the flare of his gun at
night when firing, Tommy uses what is
called a flare protector. This Is stove
pipe arrangement which fits over the
barrel casing of the gun and screens
the sparks from the right and left, bat
not from the front. So Tommy, always
resourceful, adopts this scheme: About
three feet or less In front of the gun he
drives two stakes into the ground,
about five feet apart. Across these
stakes he stretches curtain made out
of empty sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain In water and fires
through 1t. The water prevents it
catching fire and effectively screens
the flare of the firing gun from the
enemy.
Sound Is valuable asset in locating
a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts
this obstacle by placing two machine
guns about one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty yards apart. The gun
on the right to cover with its fire the
sector Of the left gun and the gun on
the left to cover that Of the right
gun. This makes their fire cross; they
are fired simultaneously.
BY this method 1t sounds like oh
gun firing and gives the Germans the
impression that the gun Is firing from
point midway between the guns
which are actually firing, and they ac-
cordingly shell that particular spot
The machine gunners chuckle and say,
Fritz is brainy boy, not 'alf he
amt"
But the men in our lines at the spot
being shelled curse Fritz for his igno.
rance and pass a few pert remarks
down the line In reference to the ma
chine gunners being "windy" ane
afraid to take their medicine.
