The men who saw 1t were over the parapet before the order was given and then the whole bunch after them. because they, too, thought he was killed and figured ne never would know how they came out about their vows. All the men in the company were glad when they found he was only wounded.
 While half of us were on the firing step throughout the day or night the other half would be in the dugouts or sitting around in the bottom of the trench, playing little games, or mend ing clothes or sleeping or cooking or doing thousand and one things. The men were always in good humor at such times and it seemed to me even heavy.
 If man was slightly wounded down would come the rifles to order arms, and some poilu was sure to shout, Right this way. One franc" It was q standing joke and they always did it. The poilu who did it most was a Swiss and he was always playing joke on somebody or initiating some one of us or making faces.

Tor long time afterward, for remein- bering what that fellow looked like and how my bayonet slipped into him and how he screamed when he fell. He had his legs and his neck twisted under him after he got it. 1 thought about it a lot and it got to be almost habit that whenever l was going 10 sleep 1 would think about him and then all hope of sleeping was gone.
 Our company took German trench that time and along with another company four hundred prisoners. We had to retire because the men on our sides did not get through and we were being fianked. But we lost lot of men doing it.
 When we returned to our trenches our outfit was simply all in and we were lying around in the front line, like bunch of old rags in a narrow alley. None of us showed any signs of life except working party that was digging with picks and shevels at some bodies that had been frozen into the mud of the trench.
 used to think all the Germans were big and fat and strong, and, of course, some of the grenadier regiments are, but lots of the Boches I saw were little and weak like this fellow "got" in my first charge.
 It was good piece of work to take the prisoners and novelty for me to look them in the face-the fellows I had been fighting. Because, when you look Hun in the face, you car see the yellow streak. Even if you are their prisoner you can tell that the Huns are yellow.
 Maybe you have heard pigs being butchered. It sounded like that when We got to them. When they attacked us they yelled to beat the band. I guess they thought they could scare us. But you cannot scare machine guns nor the foreign legion either. So when they could not scare us they were up against it and had to fight. l will admit, though, that the first time Fritz came over and began yell ing l thought the whole German army was after me, at that, and Kaiser Bill playing the drum. And how they hate a bayonet! They would much rather sit in ditch and pot you.
 I admit am not crazy about bayo- net fighting myself, as general prop. osition, but I will say that there have been times when I was serving q gun behind the front lines when I wished for a rife and bayonet in my hands and chance at Fritz man to man.
 It was in this charge that our chap lain was put out of commission. AS we were lined up, waiting to climb on to the fire step and then over the par apet, this chaplain came down the line speaking to each man as he went He would not say much, but just a few words. and then make the sign of the cross. He was in black cassock
 He was just one man from me as we got the word and stood up on the fire step. He was not armed with as much as pin. but he jumped up on
