other two gunners had Fritz's location
tapped 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-
tons, had their fire so 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. ] blew a
sharp blast on whistle, 1t was the sig
nal agreed upon; we turned loose and
Frltz'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 onr
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 Fritz's
artillery, 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 pulled 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
ewer the top of his trench and wants
10 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 bullet when it hits a
wire throws out blue electric spark.
Machine-gun fire is very damaging to
wire and causes many wiring party
to go oat at night when 1t 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

Showing How Fritz ls Fooled.

drives two stakes into the ground,
about FIVE feet apart. Across these
stakes he stretches a curtain made out
of empty sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain in water and fires
through 1t. The water prevents 1t
catching fire and effectively screens
the flare Of the firing gun from the
enemy.
Sound is valuable asset in locating
a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts
this obstacle by placing two machine
guns about one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty yards 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 the gun is firing from
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.

harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.--the estimated average
In normal times-t0 the lowest p0ssi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
Ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause OF waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number OF persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshlng campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally

many millions of dollars "in pocket
as a result of the grain saved.
