Don t Walk to Berlin
Ride With Tanks

NEW YORK, May 3.-"Don't Walk
to Berlin-Ride with the Tanks" is
the slogan of a countrywide drive just
inaugurated to select 1000 men for the
United States Tank Corps. Men &C
cepted into the Tanks Corps have an
unusual opportunity to see active ser
vice more quickly than in any other
branch of the service. Men recruited
into the service in January already
are seeing actual service overseas.
All the men taken into the Tank
Corps enter as privates and are rated
according to their demonstrated abil-
ity after a short period of intensive
training at the tank camp in Gettys-
burg, Pa. There is a greater per-
centage of non-commissioned officers
in the Tank Corps than in any other
branch of the service.
All men from eighteen to forty-five
years of age are eligible. 1t is pos
sible that men of unusual qualifica-
tions who are accepted for the Tank
Corps and who are within the draft
age may obtain permission to enter
the tank service. Men of the follow
ing classifications are sought: Tractor
drivers, motor truck drivers, motor
cycle drivers, motor car mechanics,
ignition experts, blacksmiths, acetyl-
enc welders, bench machinists, lathe
hands, telegraph or radio operators,
cooks, storekeepers, stenographers or
typists. In addition to men of these
trades, many men of mechanical trend
are required as machine gun me-
chanics and operators.
AS soon as the present allotment
of 1000 men has been filled by re-
cruiting, it is expected that a new
authorization for as many more will
have been sent out from Washington.
All applicants seeking further infor-
nation should apply to the officers
designated below at the U. S. Army
recruiting stations in the cities name:d
Capt. Roderick Stephens, New York;
Lieut.. G. G. Garland, Chicago; Lieut..

CHAPTER III.
4 Go to Church.

Upon enlistment we had identity
disks issued to US. These were small
disks of red fiber worn around the neck
by means of string. Most Of the Tom
mics also used little metal disk which
they wore around the left wrist by
means Of chain. They had previous
~ figured 1t out that If their heads
were blown off, the disk on the left
wrist would identify them. If they lost
their left arm the disk around the neck
would serve the purpose, but If their
head and left arm were blown off, no
one would care who they were, so 1t
ol0 not matter. On one sde or the
disk was inscribed your rank, name,
number and battalion, while on the
other was stamped your religion.
O. Of e., meaning Church Of Eng
land; r. c., Roman Catholic; W., Wes-
leyan; p, Presbyterian; but If you
happened to be an atheist they left it
blank, and just handed you a pick and

He said, "Oh, yes, you areW

I went.
We lined up outside with rifles and
bayonets, 120 rounds of ammunition,
wearing our tin hats, and the march
to church began. After marching about
five kilos, we turned off the road into
an open field. At one end Of this field
the chaplain was standing in timber.
We formed a semicircle around him.
Overhead there was black speck cir
cling round and round in the sky. This
was a German Fokker. The chaplain
had book in his left hand-left eye
on the book-right eye on the airplane.
We Tommies were lucky, we had no

lage and bursting in our rear, search
ing for our artillery.
These cellars were cold, damp and
smelly, and overrun with large rats
big black fellows. Most Of the Tom
mics slept with their overcoats over
their faces. I did not. In the middle
Of the night I woke up in terror. The
cold, clammy feet Of a rat had passed
over my face. I Immediately smoth-
cred myself in my overcoat, but could
not sleep for the rest Of that night.
Next evening, we took over our Sec
tor Of the line. In single file we wend-
ed our way through a zigzag COM
munication trench, six inches deep
with mud. This trench was called
whisky street." On our way up to
the front line an occasional flare of
bursting shrapnel would light up the
sky and we could hear the fragments
slapping the ground above us on our
right and left. Then a Fritz would
traverse back and forth with his type

made sharp cracking noise overhead.

piece Of shell had gone through mis-
shrapnel-proof helmet. I felt sick and
weak.
In about thirty minutes we reached
the front line. 1t was dark as pitch.
Every now and then German star
shell would pierce the blackness out
in front with its silvery light. I was
trembling all over, and felt very lonely
and afraid. All orders were given In
whispers. The company we relieved
filed past us and disappeared into the
blackneSs of the communication trench
leading to the rear. AS they passed us,
they whispered, '"The best O. luck
mates"

with the rest Of the men. In each
traverse two Of the older men had been
put on guard with their heads sticking
over the top, and with their eyes try
ing to pierce the blackness in "No
Mans Land" In this trench there
were only two dugouts, and these were
used by Lewis and Vickers machine
gunners, so it was the fire step for
ours. Pretty soon it started to rain.
We put on our ''macks," but they were
not much protection. The rain trickled
down our backs, and it was not long
before we were wet and cold. How ]
passed that night I will never know.
but without any unusual occurrence,
dawn arrived.
The word "stand down" was passed
along the line, and the sentries got
down off the fire step. Pretty soon the
rum issue came along, and it was
Godsend. 1t warmed our chilled bodies
and put new life into US. Then from
the communication trenches came
dixies or iron pots, filed with steam
ing tea, which had two wooden stakes
through their handles, and were car
ried by two men. I filed my canteen
and drank the hot tea without taking
it from my lips. It was not long be-
fore I was asleep in the mud on the
fire step.
My ambition had been attained! I
was in a front-line trench on the west

"Into the Trench"
The next morning the draft was in
spected by our general, and we were
assigned to different companies. The

American named Stewart.

One morning we were informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began.
