CHAPTER XVI.

The next day we received orders to
march to an unknown destination. We
soon arrived at the depot OF Apremont
where we were obliged to wait. The
depot had been destroyed. The next
station was Chatel. Both Of these
places are about five hlometers behind
the front.
The prisoners were assembled In
Apremont. Several OF them had come
from that town. Their families were
still In their homes and many prisoners

Enormous forces of artillery were
being modified. New guns continued
to arrive every day and were installed
without going into action. The trans
portation Of mNnitions and material
was also very brisk. We did not sus.
pect at this time that this was the first
preparation for a great offensive.
After four weeks In this vicinity we
were sent to another part Of the front,
once more without being told our des-
tinatiOn. We marched away and In the
afternoon we arrived at Dun-sur-
Meuse.
Hardly had we entered the town
when the German crown prince, accom-
panied Dy several officers and large
pack OF hunting dogs rode by.
"Good morning, pioneers r. he called
out to us.
Then he inspected our unit closely.
He spoke to our captain, after which
one Of the officers of his staff took us
to a Red Cross establishment where
we were banqueted and given wine.
The headquarters Of the Hohenzol-
Tern heir were located at Dun-sur-
Mouse. The ladies of the Red Cross
treated us cordially. We asked them
II all passing troops were as well treat
ed as we had been.
"Oh yes" young woman answered,
but only few come here. The crown
prince, however, has an especial at
tachment for the pioneers"
We were quartered over night. Sol
diers told us that Dun-sur-Meuse was
the headquarters Of the Fifth army.
There were gay times in the town, with
an open-alr concert every day. The off,
GERS often received women visitors
from Germany.
After a hard march we arrived at
the front positions. In a veritable
labyrinth of trenches. filed with water,
we had the utmost difficulty finding
,ur way about. Finally we arrived at
The very front. The French were only
ten meters away and before we had
been there two days we took part In a
hand grenade encounter.
Some distance back we established a
pioneer depot. Twenty-Five of our men
did nothing but assemble hand gre
nades. We were soon settled and ready
for an emergency.
In camp we were divided among
various troops. They showed us how
the warfare waged at this front re-
quired every imaginable kind Of fight
ing. There was mining, sapping, hand
grenade throwing, mine throwing and
light patrol battles. This went on day
after day and night after night, with
48 hours In the trench and a 12-hour
rest. The shortage of men made a
less strenuous schedule impossible.

CHAPTER xiv.

The entire forest of Argonne was
blown to pieces when we arrived.
Everywhere was artillery, which main
tanned fire on the villages behind the
enemy's positions.
One of the many batteries which we
constantly had to pass on our march
from the camp to the front, was in ac-
ton when we reached 1t.
asked one Of the gunners what his
objective was and he replied that 1t
was any village within range.
A substitute first lieutenant, in
charge Of the battery. stood nearby.
One Of my comrades asked him IL he
did not think there might be women
and children in those villages.
'sThat would make no difference"
the first lieutenant replied. Women
and children are French, so what does
II matter? This breed has to be ex-
terminated In order that this nation
shall not think Of war again for GEN.
fury"
This day was designated for n
storming attack and we were obliged
to be In our positions at seven o'clock
In the morning. Promptly at s: 80 regi-
ment No. 81 was ordered to attack.
Pioneers led the way. They were sup
piled with hand grenades. These week
" attacks were opened half an hour
before the infantry went over by q
storm Of artslery IRE. The artillery
action required very careful calcula-
ton because the distance which sepa-
rated our position from the enemy's
was very slight. 1t varied from three
to one hundred meters: never any
more. At the point where we attacked
the distance was 20 meters.
Promptly at eight o'clock the artil-
lery started. The first three shells
struck Q ditch. but the following ones
hit fairly, that Is. right In the French
trenches. Once the artillery had the
proper range whole salvos Of batteries
descended upon them with admirable
exactness. The cries Of the wounded
were heard once more, sign that
many had been hit
An artillery officer acted as observer

Dead and wounded men .ay among
the branches and the trees everywhere
on the ground. Every man who was
able to run sped forward to reach the
enemy trench as quickly as possible. A
part Of the enemy defended itself des-
perately in a trench filed with water
and mud. A terrible hand-to-hand fight
resulted. We stood in water up to our
knees.
Men, severely wounded, lay In the
mud, holding their mouths and noses
above the water. During the fighting
they were trampled more deeply into
the dirt under our feet for we could
not see where we were going; we could
only "roll up" the entire trench.
The section won was fortified with
all possible haste. Once more we had
acquired at a heavy cost in human life
few meters Of the Argonne forest.
This trench, which we took, had
changed hands many times and even
now we were preparing for the usual
counter-attacks.
Presently the "jaekasses" went into
action. The "jackasses" are the guns
of the French mountain artillery. They
were so named because they were
drawn by mules. They are guns Of fiat
trajectory, kept from so to 100 meters
behind the enemy lines. The shells
from these cannon flew directly over
our heads and cut their way through
the branches at a high rate Of speed.
Because of the high velocity of the
shell and the short distance 1t travels
the defamation when the shot Is fired
and the noise of the explosion, sound
almost ut the same instant. These
"jackasses" are greatly feared by the
German soldiers because they are kept
working day and night.
1t was winter and very cold. The
trenches had been filed with water
and were now nothing except deep
bitches of mud. Under these condi-
tons. through the ice-cold nights. our
routine consisted of 48 hours duty
and II hours rest. Every week a storm
ing attack was made, the success of
which was entirely out Of proportion
to the enormous losses. In all Of the
four months was In the Argonne for
ests we gained 400 meters. The fol-
lowing data will indicate how heavy a
price was paid in lives for this little
piece Of France.
Each regiment had its own ceme-
terry. There was the One Hundred and
Forty-fifth infantry regulars, the Sixty
seventh, and One Hundred and Seven
ty-third infantry regulars and the
One Hundred and Fifth Hirsch-
berg battalion. On the day we were re-
lieved from duty in the Argonne for

cemeteries than there were survivors

On Monday evening the seniors

building in Diamond Square and on
the same evening the juniors few
their colors from the top of the pole
on the High School building. Both
flags were torn down by the enemy

edge over their rivals when boys
of that class. after removing the jun

Yesterday morning the youths re-

While the melee continued yester-
