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 week to pull off the
stunt
If Fritz refused to swallow our bait.
1t would be impossible to locate his
| special gun, and that's the one we were
| after, because they all sound alike, a
slow pup-pup-pup.
Our prestige was hanging by
| 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 a while and
then butted in with my "pup-pup-pup-
pup-pup-pup." l 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 a
horrible mess of that tune. Again l
butted in with few bars and stopped.
Then he tried to copy what / had
played. He was a 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 a good pupil and learned
rapidly, in fact, got better than his
teacher. l 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 fired he
played that tune and we danced.
The boys in the battalion gave us
the "Ha! Hal" They weren't in on
our little frameup.
The originator of the ruse and the
other two gunners had Fritzs 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-
tions, had their fire so arranged, that,

through it. The water prevents 1t
catching fire and effectively screens
the fare of the firing gun from the
enemy.
Sound is a valuable asset in locating
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 one
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 &C
cordingly shell that particular spot
The machine gunners chuckle end say.
Fritz is a brainy boy, not 'alf he

F'ritz's gun suddenly stopped in the

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
''whizz-bangs" came over from Fritz's
artillery, further confirmation that
we had sent that musical machine-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 a neat piece of work. and. conse-
quently, we We're all pulled up over the
stunt.
There are several ways Tommy uses
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 u 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 bullet when it hits a
wire throws out a blue electric spark.
Machine-gun fire is very damaging 70
wire and causes many a wiring party
to go out at night when it is quiet TO
repair the damage.
To disguise the flare Of his gun at
night when firing. Tommy uses what is
called flare protector. This is a stove
pipe arrangement which fits over the
barrel casing Of the gun and screens
the sparks from the right and left, but
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.
aboua FIVE feet apart. Across these
stakes he stretches a curtain made out
OF empty sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain in water and fires

CHAPTER XIII.
Gas Attacks and Spies.


Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. It
did not catch rs 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 sort of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out in
front, it's coming"
BIT [ waited for no more, grabbing
my bayonet, which was detached from
the rifle, l 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
