A GRUELLING NIGHT
FOR THE CANTEEN MAN

A Red Cross Canteen man YEARLY
banked the fires under the kettles.
Their billet Is in an old house near
by By the light of a candle the Red
Cross convoyer undresses and rolls
into his blankets. Suddenly there
comes sharp, cracking sound, and a
red flare lights up the room. The con-
voyer rolls quickly out of his bunk,
catches up his blankets and runs
down the rickety stairs to the cellar.
There he finds his French assistant
and lot of soldiers. They exchange
mods and then seat themselves on
boxes. Four more sharp, cracking
noises follow in rapid succession, and
a mournful roar. This is only the be.
ginning Of an artillery duel which
lasts all night.
At break Of day the Red Cross man
bestirs himself, shakes his assistant
and tumbles up the stairway out into
the yard. 1t is strewn with debris. A
shell struck the next house in the night
and blew out the. wall. The convoyer
and his man set to work gingerly, for
the air is chill. They poke the fires
and throw on fresh wood and then set
to work to prepare the food. Within
an hour the canteen is ready for bust.
