OUR WAR WORK
AMAZES BRITONS

subsequent news that Uncle Sam is
building an ordnance base in France
at. cost of $5O,OOO,OOO, which will
have in it $50 officers and 10000 men,
also caused wide comment.
1t is being realized now that the
United States has been taking giant
strides and that in war, as in every
thing else she undertakes, she does
business on a giant scale.
Men with whom 1 have talked fairly
gasp at the magnitude of the prepara-
tions Of the United States. They say
that If the war continues another year
or two the United States will have an
army almost as powerful as any Of
the allies and equipment and supplies
enough for all. The marvellous fea-
ture Of it all to the Brtons is that the
United States is doing it all in the
face Of the fact that it is 5000 miles
away from the scene of battle and
that it is fighting for a principle and
nothing else.
Jackson County journal., 1918-05-10

After travelling 1000 miles to get a
chance to join the United States army
Joseph R. Guiteras, a mining engineer
appealed to Draft Inspector Martin
Conboy of New York to aid him to
realize his ambition. Mr.. Conbov pave

game, and put up real money. The
Jocks suffered lot of casualties. and
the prospects looked bright for the
battery men to collect some easy
money. So when the battalion was re-
lieved the gamblers lined up. Several
Jocks got their money for emerging
safely, but the ones who clicked it
weren't there to pay. The artillery
men had never thought it out that
way. Those Scotties were bound to
be sure winners, DO matter how the
wind blew. So taAe a tip from me.
never bet with Scottie. cause You'll
lose money.
AT one part of our trench where
communication trench Joined the
front line a Tommy had stuck ND a
wooden signpost with three hands or
arms on 1t. One of the hands, point
ing to the German lines, read, To Ber-
lin;' the one pointing down tbs com.
hunication trench read, ITO Blighty.'
While the other said, Suicide Ditch.
Change Here for Stretchers.'
Farther down from this guide post
the trench ran through an old orchard.
On the edge Of this orchard our bat
terry had constructed an advanced OBJ
servation post. The trees screened It
from the enemy airmen and the roof
was turfed. 1t wasn't cushy like ours,
no timber or concrete re-enforcements.
just walls of sandbags. From it a
splendid view of the German lines
could be obtained. This post wasn't
exactly safe. It was a hot corner.
shells plunking all around, and the
bullets cutting leaves off the trees.
Many a time when relieving the sig
naler at the phone, I had to crawl on
my belly like a worm to keep from
being hit.
1T was an observation post sure
enough. That's all the use it was. Just

back for oui battery to open up. You
see, at this point of the line there
were strict orders not to fire a she'll.
unless specially ordered to do 80 from
brigade headquarters. Blime me. If
anyone disobeyed that command. our
general-yes, it was Old Pepper-
would have court-martialed the whole
expeditionary force. Nobody went out
of their way to disobey Old Pepper in
those days, because he couldn't be
called a parson; he was more like a
pirate. If at any time the devil should
feel lonely and sigh for proper mate,
Old Pepper would get the first call,
Facing the Germans wasn't half bad
compared with an interview with that
old f1rebrand.
IF a company or battalion should
give way few yards against a su-
perior force of Boches, Old Pepper
| would send tor the commanding off,
Ger. In about half an hour the officer
would come back with hts face thu
color Of brick, and in a few hours
what was left Of his command would
be holding their original position.
II have seen an officer who wouldn't
say d|n for thousand quid spend
five minutes with the old boy, and
when he returned the flow of language
from his lips would make q NAVY
blush for shame.

CHAPTER XVI-Continued.

II came out with the first expedi.
donary force, and, like all the rest
thought we would have the enemy
licked in Jig time, and be able to eat
Christmas dinner at home. Well, SO
far, have eaten two Christmas din.
ners in the trenches, and am liable to
eat two more, the way things are
pointing. That is, if Fritz don't drop
a 'whizz-bang' on me, and send me to
Blighty. Sometimes I wish I would
get hit, because it's no great picnic
out here, and twenty-five months of ii
makes you fed up.
Its fairly cushy now compared to
what it used to be, although 1 admit
this trench is trifle rough. Now,
we send over five shells to their one.
We are getting our own back, but in
the early days it was different. Then
you had to take everything without
reply. In fact, we would get twenty
shells in return for every one we sent
over. Fritz seemed to enjoy it, but
we British didn't; we were the suf-
ferers. Just one casualty after an
other. Sometimes whole platoons
would disappear, especially when a
Jack Johnson plunked into their
middle. 1t got SO bad that a fellow.
when writing home, wouldn't ask for
any cigarettes to be sent out, because
he was afraid he wouldn't be there to
receive them.
after the drive to Paris was turned
back, trench warfare started. Our
general grabbed map, drew a pencil
across it, and said, Dig here Then
he went back to his tea. and Tommy
armed himself with pick and shovel
and started digging. He's been dig
ging ever since.
"Of course we dug those trenches at
night, but it was hot work, what with
the rifle and machine-gun fire. The
stretcher bearers worked harder than
the diggers.
Those trenches, bloomin' bitches. !
call them, were nightmares. They were
only about five feet deep, and you used
to get the backache from bending
down. 1t wasn't exactly safe to stand
upright, either, because as soon as
your napper showed over the top q
bullet would bounce off it, or else come
so close it would make your hair stand.
I'VE used to fill sandbags and stick
them on top of the parapet to make it
higher, but no use; they would be
there about On hour and then Fritz
would turn loose and blow them to
bits. My neck used to be sore from
ducking shells and bullets.
where my battery was stationed a
hasty trench had been dug, which
the boys nicknamed Suicide ditch
and, believe me, Yank, this was the
original Suicide ditch All the others
are limitations.
when a fellow went into that
trench 1t was an even gamble that he
would come out on stretcher. At one
time a Scotch battalion held it, and
when they heard the betting was even
money that they'd come out on
stretchers, they grabbed all the bets
