TIT: 1OG O.
 AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
 WHO WENT ARII1UR GUY YTrIpEY
MACHINE GUNNER SERVING IN FRANCE

One young Scottie. when he came abreast of my shell hole, leaped into the air, his rife shooting out of his hands, landing about six feet in front of him, bayonet first, and stuck In the ground, the butt trembling. This 'im- pressed me greatly.
 Right now can see the butt of that gun trembling. The Scottie made a complete turn in the air, hit the ground, rolling over twice, each time tclawing at the earth, and then re- in sort of sitting position. I called to him, "Are you hurt badly, Jock?" but no answer. He was dead. A dark red Smudge was coming through his tunic right under the heart. The blood ran down his bare knees, making horrible sight. On his right side he carried his water bottle. I was crazy for drink and tried to reach this, but for the life of me could not negotiate that four feet. ! Then I became unconscious. When woke up was in an advanced f1rst-aid post. I asked the doctor if we had taken the trench. "We took the trench and the wood beyond, all right" he said, land you fellows did your bit; but, my lad, that was thirty six hours ago. You were lying in No Mans Land in that bally hole for day and half. It's wonder you are alive" He also told me that out of the twenty that were in the raiding party, seven teen were killed. The officer died of wounds in crawling back to our trench and I was severely wounded, but one fellow returned without scratch, with cut any prisoners. No doubt this chap was the one who had sueezed and im- properly cut the barbed wire.
 In the official communique our trench raid was described as follows:
 "All quiet on the western front, ex- eepting in the neighborhood of Gom- mecOurt wood, where one of our raid ing parties penetrated into the German Nnes."
 It is needless to say that we had no use for our persuaders or come-alongs, as we brought back no prisoners, and until I die Old Peppers words, "Per- sonaIly I don't believe that that part of the German trench is occupied" will \ always come to me when hear some fellow trying to get away with a fshy statement. I will judge 1t accordingly.
Connecticut western news., 1918-07-18

not stop to figure It out when he was hit.
 One very nice-looking, overenthusi- astic young thing, stopped at my bed and asked, "What wounded you in the faceT"
 In a polite but bored tone an- swered, "A rifle bullet"
 With a look of disdain she passed to the next bed, first circulating, "Oh !, Only a bullet? I thought 1t was a she'll" Why she should think a shell wound was more of distinction beats me. I don't see a whole lot of differ ence myself.
 The American Women's War hospi- tai was a heaven for wounded men. They were allowed every privilege pos sible conducive with the rules and mili tary discipline. The only fault was that the mems passes were restricted. To get pass required an act of par liaInent. Tommy tried many tricks to get out, but the commandant, an old Boer war officer, was wise to them all, and 1t took a new and clever ruse to make him affix his signature to the coveted slip of paper.
 As soon as it would get dark many patient climbed over the wall and went "op his own," regardless of many signs staring him In the face. "Out of bounds for patients" Generally the nurses were looking the other way when one of these night raids started. I hope this information will get none of them into trouble, but I cannot resist the temptation to let the commandant know that occasionally we put it over on him.
 One afternoon I. received a note, through our underground channel, from my female visitor, asking me to attend a party at her house that night. I answered that she could expect me and to meet me at a certain place on the road we'll known by all patients, and some visitors, as lover the wall" l told her I would be on hand at seven thirty.
 About seven-fifteen I sneaked my overcoat and cap out of the ward and hid 1t in the bushes. Then I told the nurse, particular friend of mine, that was going for walk in the rose gar den. She winked and knew that ev- erything was all right on her end.
 Going out of the ward, I slipped into the bushes and made for the wall. 1t was dark as pitch and I was groping through the underbrush, when sudden ly stepped into space and felt myself rushing downward, a horrible bump, and blackness. When I came to my wounded shoulder was hurting horri- ply. I was lying against a circular wall of bricks, dripping with moisture, and far away could hear the trickling of water. had in the darkness fallen into an old dIsused well. But why wasn't I wet? According to all rules should have been drowned Perhaps was and didn't know 1t.
 As the shock of my sudden stop
