there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
in twO) half full of water. Each tub
contained piece of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that we had just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we
took turns in rubbing each others
backs, then by means Of garden hose,
washed the soap off. The water was
ice cold, but felt fine.
Pretty soon bell rang and the wa
ter was turned off Some Of the slower
ones were covered with soap, but this
made no difference to the sergeant,
who chased us into another room,
where we lined up in front Of a little
window, resembling the box office In a
theater, and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
the room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes we're allowed In which to
get into our "clabber."
My pair of drawers came up to my
chin and the shirt barely reached my
diaphragm but they were clean-no
strangers on them, so 1 was satisfied.
At the expiration Of the time allot-
ted we were turned out and finished
our dressing on the grass.

Picks and ShoveIs.

had not slept long before the sweet
voice Of the sergeant informed thai
mo. section had clicked for another
blinNng digging party | smiled to
myself with deep satisfaction. | haG
been promoted from a mere digger tG
a member of the Suicide club, and was
exempt from all fatgues. Then came
an awful shock. The sergeant looked
over in my direction and said:
Don't YOU bomb thrOwerS think you
are wearing top hats out here. Cord
in to orders you've been taken up on
the strength of this section, and will
have to do your bit with the pick and
shovel, same as the rest Of us"
| put up howl on my way to get
my shovel but the only thing that re-
suited was a loss of good humor on
my part.
We fell in at eight o'clock, outside
of our billets a sort of masquerade
party. I was disguised as common
labOrer, had a pick and shovel. and
about one hundred empty sandbags,
The rest, about two hundred in all,
were equipped likewise: picks, shovels,
sandbags, rifles and ammunition.
The party moved out in column Of
fours, taking the road leading to the
trenches. Several times we had to
string out in the ditch to let long col.
umns of limbers, artillery and supplies
get past.
The marching, under these cOndi'
tons, was necessarily slow. Upon ar,
rival at the entrance to the Communi'
cation trench, l looked at my illumi'
mated wrist watch-it was eleven
o'clock.
Before entering this trench, word
was passed down the line, mo talking
or smoking lead off in single file, Gov
ering party first"
This covering party consisted of 30
men, armed with rifles, bayonets,
bombs, and two Lewis machine guns.
They were to protect us and guard
against a surprise attack while dig
glng in No Mans Land.
The communication trench was
about half a mile long, a Zigzagging
ditch, eight feet deep and three feet
wide.
Now and again, German shrapnel
would whistle overhead and burst in
our vicinity. We would crouch against
the earthen walls while the shell frag-
ments slapped" the ground above us.
Once Fritz turned loose with ma
chine gun, the bullets from which
"cracked" through the air and kicked
up the dirt on the top, scattering sand
and pebbles which, hitting our steel
helmets, sounded like hailstones.
Upon arrival in the fire trench an
officer of the Royal Engineers gave us
our instructions and acted as guide.

A chaplain is not fighting man; he
is recognized ms n noncombatant and
carries no arms. In Il charge or trench
raid the soldier gets a feeling Of con-
fldence from contact with his rifle, re-
volyer or bomb he is carrying, He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can in1lct
harm on the enemy-ln other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain IS empty.handed,
and Is Mt the mercy Of the enemy II
he encounters them, so 1t is doubly
brave for him to 90 over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also
chaplain Is not required by the kings
