when the light exploded; 1t is adyis-
able not to breathe, as Fritz has an
eye like an eagle when he thinks you
are knocking at his door. When star
shell is burning in Tommy's rear, he
can hold his breath for week.
You blacken your face and hands SO
that the light from the star shells will
not reflect on your pale face. In a
trench raid there is quite sufficient
reason for your face to be pale. If you
don't believe me. try it just once.
Then another reason for blackening
your face and hands is that, after you
have entered the German trench at
night, "white face" means Germans,
"black face" English. Coming around
traverse you see q white face in
front of you. With prayer and wish
ing Fritz "the best o. luck" you intro
duce him to your "persuader' or
knuckle knife.
A little later we arrived at the COM
munication trench named Whisky
street, which led to the fire trench at
the point we were to go over the top
and out In front.
In our rear We're four stretcher bear
ers and a corporal of the r. A. M. G.
carrying pouch containing medicines
and first-aid appliances. Kind of a
grim reminder TO us that our expedi-
tion was not going to be exactly a pic
mic. The order of things was reversed
In civilian life the doctors generally
come first, with the undertakers tag
ging in the rear and then the insur-
ance man, but in our case, the under
takers were leading, with the doctors
trailing behind, minus the insurance
adjuster.
The presence of the Il. A. M. c. men
did not seem to disturb the raiders, be-
cause many joke made in an under
tone, was passed along the winding
column, as to who would be first to
take ride on one of the stretchers
This was generally followed by wish
that, If you were to be the one, the
wound would be "cushy Blighty

ty minutes we entered the star shell
zone. A star shell from the German
lines fell about five yards in the rear
and to the right of me; we Rugged the
ground and held our breath until it
burned out. The smoke from the star
shell Travelled along the ground and
crossed over the middle of our line.
Some Tommy sneezed. The smoke had
gotten up his nose. We crouched on
the ground, cursing the offender under
our breath, and waited the volley that
generally ensues when the Germans
have heard noise in No Mans Land
Nothing happened. We received two
taps and crawled forward slowly for
five yards; no doubt the officer be-
lieved what Old Pepper had said, "Per-
sonally believe that that part of the
German trench is unoccupied" BY be-
ing careful and remaining motionless

cutting your way through wire when
about thirty feet in front of you there
is line of Boches looking out into No
Mans Land with their rifles lying
across the parapet, straining every
sense to see or hear what is going on
in No Mans Land; because at night,
Fritz never knows when bomb with
his name and number on it win come
hurting through the air aimed in the
direction of Berlin. The man on the
right one man in the center and n.y.
self on the extreme left were equipped
with wire cutters. These are insulated
with soft rubber not because the Ger
man wires are charged with electricity,
but to prevent the cutters rubbing
against the barbed wire stakes, which
are Of iron, and making a noise
which may warn the inmates of the
trench that someone is getting fresh
in their front yard. There is only one
way to cut barbed wire without noise
and through costly experience Tommy
has become on expert in doing this.

The knuckle knife is a dagger affair,
the blade of which is about eight
inches long with a heavy steel guard
over the grip. This guard is studded
with steel projections. At night in a
trench, which is only about three TO
four feet wide, il makes very handy
weapon. One punch in the face gen
orally skaters mans jaw and you
can get him with the knife as he goes
down.
Then we had what we called our
"come-alongs.' These are strands of
barbed wire about three feet long,
made into II moose at one end; at the
other end, the barbs are cut off and
Tommy slips his wrist through loop
to get good grip on the wire. If the
prisoner wants to argue the point, why
just place the large loop around his
neck and no matter If Tommy wishes
to return to his trenches at the walk,
trot, or gallop, Fritz is perfectly agree
able to maintain Tommy's rate of
speed.
We were ordered TO black our faces
and hands. For this reason; AT night,
the English and Germans use what
they call star shells, sort of rocket
affair. They are fred from a large
pistol about twenty inches long, which
is held over the sanding parapet Of tho
trench, and discharged into the air.
These star shells attain a height of
about sixty feet, and q range of from
fifty to seyenty-five yards. When they
hit the ground they explode, throwing
out a strong calcium light which lights
UP the ground in circle of radius of
between ten to fifteen yards. They
also have parachute star shell which,
after reaching height of about sixty
feet, explodes. A parachute unfolds
and slowly floats to the ground, light
ing up large circle in No Mans Land.
The official name of the star shell is
a 'Very-light.' Yery-hghts ore used
TO prevent night surprise attacks on
the trenches. If star shell falls in
front of you, or between you and the
German lines, you are safe from detec-
ton, as the enemy cannot see you
through the bright curtain of light.
But If it falls behind you and. as Tom
my says, you get in the star shell
zone" then the fun begins; you have
to lie fiat on your stomach and remain
absolutely motionless until the light Of
the shell dies out. This takes any
where from forty to seventy seconds.
If you haven't time to fall to the
ground you must remain absolutely

strous war preparations No matter whether the drive
is stopped not, whether the
Germans may seem exhaust themselves in this

Mai Gen Wood, in a statement to the senate mill
tary committee, is said to have recommended an
army Of 100000 100000 men. He believes that
we should have 100000 men in France the
earliest possible moment belief which the president
doubt fully shares with him.
Insofar as Maj Gen wood spoke in a spirit of pa
