An incident that will llnger
long in the memory of.those who
part in the gallant advance of the
Second Division in Champagne
came when, as will happen some
times in all battles in all armies,
the artillery was falling short.
The advance had been SO swift
that there were no wires by
which the warning could.be sent
back. The need for action was SO
immediate that there was NO
time to send a runner back and
no certainty that a runner could
get back.
Then, abruptly aud on his
own. initiative, a Signal Corps
sergeant started to shiny up
telegraph pole. Under the cross
