CHAPTER XVI.
Battery o 23s.

Battery y 23S-
The day after this I received the
glad tidings that l would occupy the
machine gunners' dugout right near
the advanced artillery observation
post. This dugout was a roomy affair,
dry as finder, and real cots in IL.
These cots had been made by the
R. Els who had previously occupied
the dugout. 1 was the first to enter
and promptly made a signboard with
my name and number on II and sus-
pended 1t from the foot OF the most
comfortable cot therein.
In the trenches II is always first
come. first served" and this Is lived
up to by all.
Two R. F. A. men (Royal Field ar
tillery) from the nearby observation
post were allowed the privilege Of
stopping In this dugout when OF duty.
One Of these men. Bombardier VIII
son by name, who belonged TO Bat
terry d 23S. seemed to take a liking
TO me. and 1 returned this feeling.
In two days time we were pretty
chummy. and he told me how his bat
terry In the early days Of the war had
put over a stunt on Old Pepper, and
had gotten away with It.
I will endeaver 20 give the story as
far as memory will permit in his own
words:
'I came out with the first expedi-
tionary 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. I have eaten two Christmas din
ners In the trenches. and am liable to
eat two more, the way things are
pointing. That is. II Fritz don't drop
a withholding on me. and send me TO
Blighty. Sometimes 1 wish l would
get hit. because it's no great picnic
out here, and twenty-five months OF II
makes you fed up.
Its fairly cushy 10Y compared to
what II used TO be. although l admit
this trench is a trife rough. Now,
we send over five shells to their one.
We are getting our W back. but In
the early days IL was ulnerent- linen
you had to take everything without
reply. In fact. we would get twenty
shells in return for every n we sent
over. Fritz seemed TO enjoy II. but
we British didn't; we were the sur
ferers. Just one casualty after an
other. Sometimes whole platoons
would disappear. especially when a
Jack Johnson plunked into their
middle. II got so bad that a fellow
when writing home. wouldn't ask for
n 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. oui

across II. and said. Dig here. Then

In rest billets, digging roads. drilling
and other fatigues. and then back into
the front-line trench.
Nothing happened that night, but the
next afternoon I found out that a
bomber is general utility man In a Sec
don
About Ave o'clock In the afternoon
our lieutenant came down the trench
and stopping In front Of a bunch Of US
on the fire step. with a broad grin on
his face, asked:
"Who is going to volunteer for listen
ing post tonight I need two men,"
1t is needless to say no one volun-
teered. because it is anything but a
cushy Job. I began to feel uncomfort-
able as 1 knew 1t was getting around
for my turn. Sure enough, with another
grin, he said:
"Empey, you and Wheeler are due.
so come down into my dugout for in
structions at six O'clock"
Just as he left and was going around
a traverse, Fritz turned loose with a
machine gun and the bullets ripped the
~sandbags right over his head. 1t gave
me great pleasure to see him duck
against the parapet. He was getting a
taste of what we would get later out
In front.
Then, Of course, 1t began to rain. l
knew II was the forerunner Of a mis-
cradle night for us. Every time I had
to go out in front. 1t just naturally
rained. Old Jupiter Pluvius must have
had II in for me.
At six we reported for instructions.
They were simple and easy. All We
had to do was to crawl out into No
Mans Land. lie on our bellies with u
ears to the ground and listen for the
tap, tap OF the German engineers or
sappers who might be tunnellng under
No Mans Land to establish a mine
head beneath our trench.
OF course. In our orders we we're told
not TO be captured by German patrols
or accommodating parties. Lots OF
breath is wasted on the western front
giving silly cautions.

AZ o as II was dark, Wheeler and
l crawled to our post which was about
halfway between the lines. II was
raining bucketfuls, the ground was a
sea OF sticky mud and chung to us like
glue.
We took turns In listening with our
ears TO the ground. / would listen for
twenty minutes while Wheeler would
be on the qui vive for German patrols.
We each wore a wristwatch, and be-
lieve me, neither one Of US did over
twenty minutes. The rain soaked US
to the skin and our ears were full Of
mud.
Every few minutes a bullet would
crack overhead or a machine gun would
traverse back and forth.
Then all firing suddenly ceased. l
whispered to Wheeler, Keep POUR eye
skinned, mate; most likely Fritz has
a patrol out-that's why the Boches
have stopped firing"
We were each armed with a rife and
bayonet and three Mills bombs 10 be
used for defense only.
1 had my a to the ground. All Of
a sudden I heard faint. dull thuds.
In a low but excited voice I whispered
to Wheeler, ~ think they are mining.

He put his ear to the ground and
in an unsteady voice spoke Into my
ar:
"Yank, that's a patrol and it's head
ing our way. For Gods sake keep
still"
I was as still as q mouse and was
scared stif.
Hardly breathing and with eyes try
ing TO pierce the inky blackness, we
waited. I would have given a thou
sand pounds to have been safely In
my dugout.
Then we plainly heard footsteps and
our hearts Stood stm.
A dark form suddenly doomed up in
front Of me; it looked as big as the
WoOlwOrth building. I could hear
the blood rushing through my veins
and it sounded as loud as Niagara
falls.
Forms seemed to emerge from the
darkness. There were seven Of them
In all. I tried TO wish them away. I
never wished harder in my life. They
muttered a few words in German and
melted into the blackness. I didn't
stop wishing either.
All Of a sudden we heard a stumble,
a muddy splash, and a muttered Don
ner und Bitten" One OF the Boches
had tumbled into a shell hole. Neither
Of Us laughed. At that time-lt didn't
strike US as funny.
About twenty minutes after the Ger
IA had disappeared something from
the rear grabbed me by the foot. 1
nearly tainted with fright. Then a
welcome whisper IN a cockney accent.
81 sly, myte, we've come to relieve
you"
Wheeler and I crawled back to our
trench We looked like wet hens and
felt worse. After a swig Of rum we
were soon fast asleep on the fire step
In our wet clothes.
The next morning I was as stif as a
poker and every joint ached like a
bad tooth, but I was still alive, so 1t
did not matter.

Germanys conditions of peace are

after the enormous sacrifices VIC
have made Of our blood and property
we exact as a necessary minimum to
the preservation and development OF
Germany the following:
Belgium, especially the Flanders
coast with Antwerp, is to remain
under German military, economic and
political dependence.
Liberty of the seas shall be proper
