When 1t was at all possible our snipers
were allowed dry quarters. the best Of

Our snipers. as q rule. went over

Fritz got his star shells going. They

tree stumps or holes that they had
spotted during the day-in other
words, places where they could see

secret of the mechanism that made
this rapid fire possible. When the first
"75s' began to roar. the Germans
knew the French had found a new
weapon. SO they were very anxious to

secret.
Shortly afterward they captured
eight guns by a mass attack in which.
the allies claim, there were 1000 Ger

the guns and tried TO turn out pieces

somehow they could not get 1t. Their

Local Hospitality Is
Praised BY Major
With Army Train

"You have given the boys something
we never could buy" said Major Short,
in charge Of Company B OF the 18th
Ammunition train, which was enter
tanned at the second War Mothers
dance Tuesday evening. "In many
towns and cities the boys are given
good home cooking, and they appre-
ciate the pies, cakes and sandwiches
which are so generously given to them
but Richmond is the first city to give
us the social hospitality Of the better
class of girls under the right condi-
lions, and we never shall forget 1t.
The Major said that the mcnoton-
Gus work of driving the trucks all day
long made the boys desire recreation
IF almost any sort in the evening and
that when only public dance halls
were open, many of the boys would
go there, oftentimes with the result
that the next day would be filled with
reprimands and a low morale would
prevail among the detachment But
after such an evening as the Richmond
War Mothers had arranged, he stated.
the men went to bed and to sleep with
only the most pleasant memories and
the highest spirits.
"Of course, most of the men are not
college graduates, and have not had
the social advantages in many cases.
of the girls the Major added. but
they are good clean boys. and Ameri-
cans, and every mother and father
who is a good citizen should be glad
to bring their daughter to meet these
boys in the right way"
Private Chiste is little shy Italian,
who has only been with the Ammuni-
ton train since May 27. but already
he is the pet of his company. Soon
after arriving at the Commercial club
rooms Tuesday evening. the boys per-
suaded him to bring out his accordian
and contribute their portion to the
entertainment.
Seated by the piano, he spread the
accordian over his knees and bending
his head on one side. played Good
Bye Broadway, Hello France" and sew
eral other favorites, while his foot
kept tapping in time.

him. said one of the soldiers as he
| listened. mo matter how tired he
is, or how rainy the evening, he plays
| for us just the same and while we
sing we forget about being tired and
away from home. Sometimes he even
plays while we have stopped along
the road to rest. He's the pet of the
company"
