CHAPTER N.
Laid Up for Renairs.

]
One night, after / had been at Dix
/ nude for about three weeks, we made
a charge In the face of q very heavy
fire. Our captain always stood at the
parapet when we were going over, anC
made the sign of the cross and shouted
''For God and France" Then we would
| go over. Our officers always led us
but have never seen German officer

ing. I do not believe they are as brave
as they are said to be.
Well, we went over this time, and
the machine guns were certainly going
it strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make it and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
BOche trenches and not a man of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
two O'Clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in q shell
crater full Of water for several hours.
He would not go back for treatment
then. and when daylight came, it was
too late, because we were practically
cut off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on US, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly fOrty-f1ve yards away. We re-
celved bombs and shells right in our
faces. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy, and ran back over the paradOs.
He ran few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. I think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to us. Then the spot
where he had been was empty, and a
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
plOded. He had been hit by q big
shell, and absolutely cut in two. II
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven O'Clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retOok the trench. No sooner
had We entered it, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on us.

His Souvenir.

Ordinarily a soldier doesn't appear
at the leave center with any more bag
gage than the law allows. One man
arrived with pair of extra socks
and rifle. Why the rifle? This was
his explanation:
Its souvenir. Oh, it still shoots
all right, and I'm going to use 1t for
the rest Of the war, and after that
well, this is one rifle no supply ser
geant is ever going to get hold Of"
He exhibited the stock. There was
a nick an inch deep at the top.
Machine gun near scissors. Shows
how near bullet can come without
getting yOu."-Stars and Stripes.
