two hundred yards from the Germans
(the trenches ut this point were six
hundred yards apart).
Two winding lanes. five feet wide,
had been cut through our barbed wire,
for the passage Of the diggers. From
these lines white tape had been laid
on the ground to the point where we
were to commence work. This in or
der that we would not get lost in the
darkness. The proposed trench was
also laid out with tape.
The covering party went out first.
After short wait, two scouts came
back with Information that the work
ing party was to follow and "carry on
with their work.
In extended order, two yards apart.
we noiselessly crept across No Mans
Land. 1t was nervous work; every
minute we expected a machine gun to
open fire on us. Stray bullets Cracked
around us, or a ricochet sang over
head.
Arriving at the tapped diagram of
the trench, rifles slung around our
shoulders, we lost no time in getting
to work. We dug as quietly as pos
sible but every now and then the noise
Of pick or shovel striking stone
would send the cold shivers down our
backs. Under our breaths we heartily
cursed the offending Tommy.
At intervals star shell would 60 up
from the German lines and we would
remain motionless until the glare of its
white light died out.
When the trench had reached q
depth Of two feet we felt safer, be-
cause 1t would afford us cover in case
we were discovered and fred on.
The digging had been in progress
about two hours, when suddenly hell
seemed to break loose in the form Of
machine-gun and rife fire.
We dropped down on our bellies in
the shallow trench, bullets knocking

CHAPTER xlll-continued.

We lined up in front of the baths,
soaked with perspiration, and piled
our rifles into stacks. A sergeant Of
the r. A. NJ. G. with yellow band
around his left arm on. which was
IS. p" (sanitary police) in black let
tiers, took charge, ordering us to take
off our equipment, unroll our puttees
and unlace boots. Then, starting from
the right of the line, he divided us
into squads of fifteen. I happened to
be in the first squad.
We entered small room, where we
were given five minutes to undress,
then filed into the bathroom. In here
there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
in two) half full Of water. Each tub
contained a piece of laundry soap. The
sergeant Informed us that we had just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we
took turns in rubbing each others
backs, then by means of a garden hose,
washed the soap off. The water was
ice cold, but felt fine.
Pretty soon bell rang and the was
ter was turned off. Some of the slower
ones were covered with soap, but this
made no difference to the sergeant,
who chased us into another room,
where we lined up in front of little
window, resembling the box Office in q
theater, and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
the room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes were allowed in which to
get into our "clabber.'
My pair of drawers came up to my
chin and the shirt barely reached my
diaphragm. but they were clean-no
strangers on them, so I was satisfied.
At the expiration Of the time allot-
ted we were turned out and finished

There are SO many instances of he
roic deeds performed under fire in res
cuing the wounded that it would take
several books to chronicle them, but I
have to mention one instance per-
formed by chaplain, Captain Hall by
name, in the brigade on our left, be-
cause it particularly appealed to me-.
A chaplain is not fighting man; he
is recognized as a noncombatant and
carries no arms. In a charge or trench
raid the soldier gets feeling Of con-
fidence from contact with his rifle, re-
volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can inflict
harm on the enemy-in other words,
he is able to, get his own back.
But the chaplain is mpty-handed,
and is at the mercy of the enemy If
he encounters them, so it is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also a
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to go over in charge, but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind Of fire, each time re-
turning with wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
bullet through his left arm, but never
reported the matter to the doctor until
late that night-just spent his time ad-
ministering to the wants of the wound
ed lying on stretchers.
The chaplains Of the British army
are fine, manly set of men, and are
greatly respected by Tommy.

CHAPTER XIV.
Pick. and shoxels.

I had not slept long before the sweet
voice Of the sergeant informed that
"No. 1 section had clicked for another
blinking digging party" I smiled to
myself with deep satisfaction. had
been promoted from mere digger to
a member Of the Suicide club, and was
exempt from all fatigues. Then came
an awful shock. The sergeant looked
over in my direction and said:
"Don't you bomb throwers think you
are wearing top hats out here. Cord
in to orders you've been taken up on
the strength Of this section, and will
have to do your bit with the pick and
shovel. same as the rest of us"
put up a howl on my way to get
my shovel, but the only thing that re-
suited was loss of good humor on
my part.
We fell in at eight O'Clock, outside
Of our billets, sort Of masquerade
party. I was disguised as common
laborer, had pick and shovel, and
about one hundred empty sandbags.
The rest, about two hundred in all,
were equipped likewise: picks, shovels,
sandbags, rifles and ammunition.
The party moved out in column of
tours, taking the road leading to the
trenches. Several times we had to
string out in the ditch to let long col
umns of limbers, artillery and supplies
get past.
The marching, under these condi-
lions, was necessarily slow. Upon ar
rival at the entrance to the commune
cation trench, looked at my illumi-
mated wrist watch-it was eleven
o'clock. @
Before entering this trench, word
was passed down the line, mo talking
or smoking, lead off in single file, COW
ering party FIRST"
This covering party consisted Of 80
men, armed with rifles, bayonets,
bombs, and two Lewis machine guns.
They were to protect us and guard
against a surprise attack while dig
ging in No Mans Land.
The communication trench was
about half a mile long, a zigzagging
ditch, eight feet deep and three feet
wide.
Now and again, German shrapnel
would whistle overhead and burst in
our vicinity. We would crouch against
the earthen walls while the shell frag-
ments slapped" the ground above us.
Once Fritz turned loose with a ma
chine gun, the bullets from which
Cracked" through the air and kicked
up the dirt on the top, scattering sand
and pebbles, which, hitting our steel
helmets, sounded like hailstones.
Upon arrival In the fire trench an
officer Of the Royal Engineers gave US
our Instructions and acted as guide.
We were to dig an advanced trench
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1918-05-09

up the ground and swapping in the air.
Then shrapnel butted in. The music
was hot and Tommy danced.
The. covering party was having a
rough time Of it; they had no cover;
just had to take their medicine.
Word was passed down the line to
beat it for our trenches. We needed no
urging; grabbing our tools and stoop-
ing low, we legged it across No Mans
Land. The covering party got away
to poor start but beat us in. They
must have had wings because we low
cred the record.
Painting and out Of breath, we tum-
bled into our front-line trench. I tore
my hands getting through our wire,
but, at the time, didn't notice 1t; my
journey was too urgent.
When the roll was called we found
that we had gotten 1t in the nose for
63 casualties. -
Our artillery put a barrage on Fritz
front-line and communication trenches
and their machine-gun and rifle fire
suddenly ceased.
Upon the cessation Of this fire,
stretcher bearers went out to look for
killed and wounded. Next day we
learned that 81 of our men had been
killed and 81 wounded. Five men were
missing; lost in the darkness, they
must have wandered over into the Ger
man lines, where they were either
killed or captured.
Speaking Of stretcher bearers and
wounded, it, is very hard for the aver
age civilian to comprehend the enor-
nous cost Of taking care of wounded
and the war in general. He or she gets
SO accustomed to seeing billions of dol
lars In print that the significance Of
the amount is passed over without
thought.
From an official statement published
in one Of the London papers, it is
stated that it costs between six and
seven thousand pounds $3.50, 1000 to $685.
000) to kill or wound soldier. This
result was attaihed by taking the cost
Of the war to date and dividing It by
the killed and wounded.
It may sound heartless and inhuman,
but it is fact, nevertheless, that from
military standpoint It is better for a
man to be killed than wounded.
