they were filled with patriotic women

The home service department has
issued a cali for still more nurses,
nurses aids and women willing to
help in the homes the plague has en-
tered or in emergency hospitals. The
response to this call has thus far
bean excellent. but the need is so
great that even more women are
asked to apply at Red Cross Head
quarters. The people of Harrisburg
are also appealed to for the loan OF
wheel or rolling chairs for the pres
ent epidemic. Red Cross headquar-
ters may bea reached by Bell Phone

The need of influenza masks. and

hesitancy was Cancelled, for an or
derly desired my presence at the reg
imental p. C.
News was distinctly good. At
o'clock our lines had advanced seven
kilometers; we were to follow up
and take positions just behind our
old front line. My job was to search
out the route in the half hour at our
disposal while the regiment was
forming and to guide them forward
with little delay. We had to go
across country and the trails
through the woods were we'll mapped
so with a sergeant 1 had no diff
Guilty in getting a line on the route
and in meeting the head of our col
umn just as it began to move.
That afternoon we pitched tents
on a field which had been In the
midst of the war zone for four years
and where, the day before, a German
sniper would surely have picked off
any one who showed his head.
Germans Abandon Battery
During the night we again ad-
vanced a distance of twelve kilo-
meters and again pitched tents, this
time on soil which had long been in
Hunnish hands. An abandoned bat
| terry of heavies lay along the ridge
behind us, still pointing their muz-
| zles back towards our old positions.
| Our American planes, in great num-
bers, fully dominated the skies. Not
q Hun showed himself. Our main
difficulty lay in the fact that heavy
| traffic had blocked the roads and our
chow wagons were away behind. Our
stock of corned willy might have to
last several days, since we were to
advance to clean out the large
pocket our troops and French had
made by driving two wedges behind
the St. Mihiel salient, completely
surrounding a then unknown force
of the enemy. Our job was to clean
up this pocket and to allow the
troops ahead to be free to make
their advance.
All day we awaited our chow in
| hopeful expectancy. 1t did not come
At 4 o'clock I told my men to hit
their iron rations for one meal; and
at 4.30 our column began to advance
to its cleanup task. We went a mile.
Then came a halt while the colonel
and major came riding rearwards.
Squads left-about," came the COM
mand. The troops in the pocket had
| surrendered. Our part in this oper-
alton had merely been long hike of
almost seventy miles, for after a
nights bivouac, and real chow from
the long-delayed chow wagons, we
took up our journey back to where
traffic would permit a truck train
to meet us and take us,-some-
where in France.

packs and rifles. Each night the
roads were flooded with traffic so
that progress was slow, sloppy and
fatiguing to the extreme.
One day word spread that that
evenings march would land us in a,
position of readiness" five miles
behind our first line trenches. That
night the zero hour" was to come
at l a. m. Thus far we had been too
far away to hear any cannonading,
but that evening just before. our start
we heard q few muffled explosions of
distant heavies, probably ranging"
AS we marched slowly along, how
ever, with roads more than usually
sloppy, the rain more than usually
cold, the delays more than usually
frequent and trying, we heard not a
sound, saw not "a flash on the sky.
From before IL o'clock the column
was halted, while, as the rain con-
tinued its pouring, we could not sit
down in our tracks or even unsling
equipment. We just stood waiting
and shivered.
Waiting to Advance
Towards the appointed hour we
began to consult our watches. Ten
minutes of l. A light railway train
clattered past with cars loaded with
Snells, ltS dlnKy engine glarlng and
spouting sparks, while the small
comfort of even a cigaret was denied
to us. Five minutes of 1. All was
quiet. The chatter and banter of
the men was still. We thought of
the impending fight, Of the men "up
there" ready and waiting to go over.
We wondered if the Huns had
guessed our plans and would be
waiting in force, as we had waited
for them on the Marne. Three min
utes of 1. The men had gathered
around the few who sported lumin-
ous-dialed watches. They were
talking and whispering in low tones
wondering if our barrage would be
