CHAPTER XIII.
Gas Attacks and Spies.


Three days after we had silenced
Fritz, the Germans sent over gas. It
did not catch us unawares, because the
wind had been made to order, that is,
it was blowing from the German
trenches toward ours at the rate Of
about five miles per hour.
: Warnings had been passed down the
trench to keep sharp lookout for gas.
We had new man at the periscope,
on this afternoon in question; I was
sitting on the fire step, cleaning my
rifle, when he called out to me:
! "There's sort Of greenish, yellow
cloud rolling along the ground out in
front, it's coming
But waited for no more, grabbing
my bayonet, which was detached from
the rifle, I gave the alarm by banging
an empty shell case, which was hang
ing near the periscope. At the same
instant, gongs started ringing down the
trench, the signal for Tommy to don
his respirator, or smoke helmet, as we
call it.
Gas travels quickly, so you must not
lose any time; you generally have
about eighteen or twenty seconds in
which to adjust your gas helmet.
A gas helmet is made of cloth, treat
ed with chemicals. There are two win

drives two stakes into the ground,
about five feet apart. Across these
stakes he stretches curtain made out
Of empty 'sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain in water and fires
through 1t. The water prevents it
catching 1re and effectively screens
the fare of the firing gun from the
enemy.
Sound is q vszeable asset in locating
q machine gun: tx Tommy surmounts
this obstacle be placing two machine
guns about Of hundred to one hum
dred and fifty 7ards apart. The gun
on the right to- cover with its fire the
sector Of the left gun and the gun on
the left to cover that Of the right
gun. This makes their fire cross: they
are fired simultaneously.
By~this method it sounds like one
gun firing and gives the Germans the
impression that TIE gun is firing from
a point midway between the guns
which are actually firing, and they ac-
cordingly shell that particular spot.
The machine gunners chuckle and say,
''Fritz is a brainy boy, not 'alf he
amt"
But the men in our lines at the spot
.being shelled curse Fritz for his igno-
rance and pass few pert remarks
down the line in reference to the ma
chine gunners being "windy" and
afraid to take their medicine.

rapidly, In fact, got better than his
teacher. I commenced to feel Jealous.
When he had completely mastered the
tune, he started sweeping the road
again and we clicked it worse than
ever. But he signed his death warrant
by doing so, because my friendship
turned to hate. Every time he fired he
played that tune and we danced.
The boys in the battalion gave us
the "Ha! Ha!" They weren't in on
our little frameup.
The originator Of the ruse and the
other two gunners had Fritz's location
taped to the minute; they mounted
their two guns, and also gave me the
range. The next afternoon was set for
the grand finale.
Our three guns, with different eleva-
tions, had their fire 80 arranged, that,
opening up together, their bullets
would suddenly drop on Fritz Ike a
hailstorm.
About three the next day, Fritz start
ed "pup-pupping" that tune. I blew a
sharp blast on whistle, it was the sig
nal agreed upon; we turned loose and
Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the
middle Of a bar. We had cooked his
goose, and our ruse had worked. After
firing two belts each, to make sure of
our job, we hurriedly dismounted our
guns and took cover in the dugout. We
knew what to expect soon. We didn't
have to wait long, three salvos Of
''whizz-bangs" came over from Fritzs
artillery, a further confirmation that
we had sent that musical machine-gun-
ner on his Westward-bound journey.
That gun never bothered us again.
We were the heroes Of the battalion,
our captain congratulated US, said it
was a neat piece Of work, and, conse-
quently, we were all puffed up over the
stunt.
There are several ways Tommy uses
to disguise the location of his machine
gun and get his range. Some of the
most commonly used stunts are as fol-
lows:
At night, when he mounts his gun
over the top Of his trench and wants
to get the range Of Fritz's trench he
adopts the method Of what he terms
"getting the sparks" This consists Of
firing bursts from his gun until the
bullets hit the German barbed wire.
He can tell when they are cutting the
wire, because a bullet when it hits a
wire throws out o blue electric spark.
Machine-gun fire is very damaging to
wire and causes many wiring party
to 60 out at night when it is quiet to
repair the damage.
To disguise the flare Of his gun at
night when firing, Tommy uses what is
called a flare protector. This is stove
pipe arrangement which fits over the
barrel casing Of the gun and screens
the sparks from the right and left, but
not from the front. So Tommy, always
resourceful, adopts this scheme: About
three feet or less in front Of the gun he

Punishments and Maehine-Gun Stunts.

! Punishments and Maehine-Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline Is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
sof government virtue.
: There are about seven million ways
! of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
! The worst punishment is death by
firing squad, or "up against the wall"
as Tommy calls it.
!; This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
/ a safeguard, striking superior, etc.
! Then comes the punishment of sixty
+! four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
lare indeed lucky.
!: This punishment is awarded where
there is doubt as to the willful guilt
Of man who has committed an Of
fence punishable by death.
Then comes the famous field pun.
;ishment No. 1. Tommy has nicknamed
lit "crucifdon." It means that man
lis spread-eagled on a timber wheel,
two hours day for twenty-one days.
During this time he only gets water,
bully beef and biscuits for his chow.
i You get "crucified" for, repeated minor
offenses.
Next in order is field punishment
No. 2.
. This is confinement in the "clink,"
without blankets, getting water, bully
beef and biscuits for rations and doing
all the dirty work that can be found.
This may be for twenty-four hours or
twenty days, according to the gravity
of the offense.
Then comes "pack drill'' or default
ers' parade. This consists Of drilling,
mostly at the double, for two hours
with full equipment. Tommy hates
this, because it is hard work. Some
times he fills his pack with straw to
tighten it, and sometimes he gets
caught. If he gets caught, he grouses
at everything in general for twenty.
