Some of them looked scared and 9TH

Then we heard some singing. and pref

stepping along behind the Huns, with
his rife slung over his back, and
every once in a while he would shut

After we were rested up we were
issued rifles, shrapnel helmets and
belts, and then started down the COM
muntcatiOn trench. These trenches
are entrances to the fighting trenches
and run at varying angles and vary
ing distances apart. They are sell
dom wide enough to hold more than
one man, so you have to march single
file in them. They wind in and out,
according to the lay Of the land, some
parts OF them being more dangerous
than others. When you come to
dangerous spot you have. to crawl
sometimes.
There are So many cross trenches
and blind alleys that you have to have
a guide for long time, because with
out one you are apt to walk through
an embrasure in q fire trench and
right out into the open, between the
German front line and your own.
Which is hardly worth while!

hears one coming he gives the signal

plenty of time to think about things

sound OF the explosion. When YOU

On the Eirina Line.

When I reported on the Cassard

the Infantry, with the regimental

We Travelled from Brest by rail, in
tnird-class cars, passing through La
Havre and st. Pol, and finally arriving
at Bergues- From Bergues we made
the trip to Dixmude by truck-a dis
lance OF about twenty miles. We car
r1ed no rations with us, but at certain
places along the line the train stopped,
and we got out to eat our meals. At
every railroad station they have booths
or counters, and French girls work day
and night feeding the Poilus. It was a
Wonderful sight to see these girls, and
1t made you feel good to think you
were going to fight for them.
1t was not only what they did, but
the way they did it, and it is at things
ike this that the French beat the
world. They could tell just what kind
Ct treatment each Poilu needed, and
they saw to 1t that he got it. They

There is another thing about the

that is this: There are pretty girls In

| festive American manner, but, as ]
say, we got to like 1t after while.
Then, too, they do not do any haZing
in the French navy, and this surprised
us. We had expected to go through
the mill just asswe did when we Joined
the American service, but nobody slung
q hand at US. On the contrary, every
garby aboard was kind and decent and
extremely courteous, and the fact that
we were from the States counted lot
with them. They used to brag about
it to the crews Of other ships that were
not so honored.
But this kindness we might have ex-
pected. It is just like Frenchmen in
any walk Of life. With hardly an ex-
ception. / have never met one Of this
nationality who was not anxious to
help you I'm every way he could; ex-
tremely generous, though not reckless
with small change, and almost always
CHEEKY and there with q smile in any
weather. A fellow asked me once why
| it was that almost the whole world
loves the French, and told him it was
because the French love almost the
whole world, and show it. And think
that is the reason, too.
About the only way you can describe
the Poilus, on land or sea, is that they
are gentle. That is, you always think
that word when you see one and talk
to him-unless you happen to see him
within bayonet distance of Fritz.
The French sailors sleep between
decks in hunks, instead of hammOckS,
and as had not slept in bunk since
my Southerndown days, it was pretty
hard on me. So / got hold of some
heaving line, which is one-quarter-inch
rope, and rugged up a hammock. In
my spare time taught the others how
to make them, and pretty soon every
body was doing it.
When taught the sailors to make
hammocks, figured, of course, that
they would use them as we did-that
is, sleep In them. They were greatly
pleased at first, but after they had
tried the stunt Of getting in and stay
ing in, it was another story. A ham,
mock is like some other things-it
works while you sleep-and If you are
not on to It, you spend most Of your
sleeping time hitting the floor. Our
gun captain thought 1 had put over a
trick hammock on him, but did not
need to; every hammock is a trick
hammock.
Also, I taught them the way we
make mats out of rope, to use while
sleeping on the steel gratings near the
entrance to stoke holes. In cold wealth
er this part of the ship is more COM
Portable than the ordinary sleeping
quarters, but without q mat it gets too
hot.
American soldiers and sailors get
the best food in the world, but while
