CHAPTER XIII.

After a march Of IS kilometers we
reached the town Of Jametz. Here
everything was offered us by the in.
habitants. We were treated with cot.
fee, milk and meat. We went on early
the next morning and in the evening
arrived at DamvlllerS, where we heard
that we were about I'VE kilometers be-
hind the firing line. The same evening
we advanced to the little village Of
Wavrille, which was our destination.
We took up our quarters in a house
which had been abandoned by It's in
habitants. We were attached to the
Ninth reserve division and the next
morning went to our position. Fifteen
Of us were assigned to duty with an
infantry company. On the entire line,
as far as we could see. there was no
musketry fire. Only the artillery on
both sides kept up weak action. We
were not accustomed to this quietude
In the trenches, but the men who had
been there for some time told us that
frequently not a single shot was fired
for days and that no activity wac
