HOW WAR HAS HURT HOLLAND
Conflict Has Had Marked Evil Effect
on Morals of Citizens of the
Little Country.

Holland, no doubt had its many
QUITS and shortcomings, but it GER
affafy never was Il corrupt country,
either IN administration, in politics or
IN business, Matthuys 2. Rooseboom
wr7tes in Atlantic. This war has fos-
Tered temptations and vices totally
sew 10 the country. As conditions grow
aerse prefiteering, boarding, trying to
iireumvent regulations, lack Of respon-
9sibility and of public feeling, selfish
aess, lust of undue profits-all these
dc increase.
Then there are the spies of all ma
fionaiities having eenters in orr coun-
try. trying to bride our folk into rem
,sgeTfng them services for high rewards.
THEN there is the gradually growing
unemployment, with its curse of idle
mess. making men prone to succumb
10 the temptations of profitable SNUG
Cling. Then there are the many unde-
sirsfbie foreign elements, the alarming
growth of prostitution and it's inherent
evils. fhe increasing number of thefts,

| we tried to keep up his jokes and say
the same things and so forth. But they
did not go very well after he was
| dead. He got his in the same charge
in which the chaplain was wounded.
He was one of the bunch that charged
before the order was given, when the
chaplain got it, and was running pretty
near me until we got to the Boche
wire. l had to stop to get through,
though must of it was cut up by artil-
lery fire, but he must have jumped It,
for when I looked up he was twenty
or thirty PAGES ahead of me. We got
to the Germans about that time and
I was pretty busy for a while. But
soon / saw him again. He was pulling
his bayonet out of Boche when an
other made jab at him and stuck him
in the arm. Then the Boehe made q
swing at him with his rifle, but the
Swiss dropped on one knee and lodged
it. He kept defending himself with
his rifle, but there was another Ger
man on him by this time and he could
not get up. The corporal of our squad
came UP just about that time, but he
was too late, because one of the
Boches got to the Swiss with his bay
onet. He did not have time to with
draw it before our corporal stuck him.
The other German made pass at the
corporal, but he was too late. The
corporal beat him to it and felled him
with q terrific blow from his rifle butt.
The Huns were pretty thick around
there just as another fellow and my
self came up. A Boche swung his rifle
at the corporal and when he lodged it
the Beehe almost got me. The swing
took him off his feet and then the cor
pora1 did as pretty bit of work as
| ever saw. He jumped for the Boche
who had fallen, landed on his face
with both feet and gave it to the next
one with his bayonet all at the same
time. He was the quickest man ever
saw.
There were a couple of well-known
savate men in the next company and
saw one of them get under Fritz's
guard with his foot and, believe me,
there was some force in that kick.
He must have driven the Germans
chin clear through the back of his
neck.
We thought it was pretty tough luck
to lose both the chaplain and the vii
lage wit in the same charge, along
with half of our officers, and then have
to give up the trench. Every man in
the bunch was sore as a boil when we
got back.
Cleveland County herald., 1918-09-19

! | used to think all the Germans were
big and fat and strong, and, of course,
some of the grenadier regiments are,
but lots of the Boches I saw were
little and weak like this fellow "got"
in my first charge.
It was a good piece of work to take
the prisoners and a novelty for me to
! look them in the face-the fellows 1
had been fighting. Because, when you
look a Hun in the face, you can see
the yellow streak. Even if you are
their prisoner you can tell that the
Huns are yellow.
Maybe you have heard pigs being
butchered. 1t sounded like that when
we got to them. When they attacked
us they yelled to beat the band. I
guess they thought they could scare
us. But you cannot scare machine
guns nor the foreign legion either. So
when they could not scare us they
were up against it and had to fight.
[ will admit, though, that the first
time Fritz came over and began yell
ing l thought the whole German army
was after me, at that, and Kaiser Bill
playing the drum. And how they hate
bayonet! They would much rather
sit in ditch and pot you.
I admit am not crazy about bayo-
net fighting myself, as a general prop
osition, but I will say that there have
been times when l was serving a gun
behind the front lines when / wished
for rifle and a bayonet In my hands
and chance at Fritz man to man.
It was in this charge that our chap
lain was put out of commission. AS
we were lined up, waiting to climb ON
to the fire step and then over the par
apet, this chaplain came down the
line speaking to each man as he went.
He would not say much, but just a
few words, and then make the sign of
the cross. He was in q black casSock.
He was just one man from me as
we got the word and stood up on the
fire step. He was not armed with as
much as pin, but he jumped up on
the step and stuck his head over the
parapet and got 1t square, landing
right beside me. I thought he was
killed, but when we got back we found
he was only wounded. The men who
saw it were over the parapet before
the order was given and then the
whole bunch after them, because they,
too, thought he was killed and figured
he never would know how they came
out about their vows. All the men in
the company were glad when they
found he was only wounded.
While half of us were on the firing
step throughout the day or night the
other half would be In the dugouts or
sitting around in the bottom Of the
trench, playing little games, or mend

on us, and then our own machine guns

Up toward the front the bomberS
were fishing In their bags and throw
ing, just like boys after a rat along
the docks. The black smoke from the
Jack Johnsons' rolled over us and
probably there was gas, too, but you
could not tell.
The front lines had taken their
trenches and gone on and you could
see them, when you stood on a para
pet, running about like hounds through
the enemy communication trenches,
bombing out dugouts, disarming pris-
oners-very scary-l0oking in their
masks and goggles. The wounded
were coming Dack SLOWLY. Inen We
got busy with our work in the dugouts

bays, with bayonets and bombs, dig
ging the Boches out and sending them
"west." And every once in a while a
Fritz on one side would step cut and
yell 'tKamerad," while, like as not, on
the other side, his pal would pot you
with a revolver when you started to
pick him up, thinking he was wounded.
Then we stood aside at the entrance
to a dugout and some Boches came
out in single file, shouting 'Kamerad'

for all they were worth. One of them
had his mask and face blown off; yet
he was trying to talk, with the tears
rolling down over the raw flesh. He
died five minutes later.
| One night, while I was lying back in
| the trench trying not to think of any
thing and go to sleep the bombs began
when could not stand it any longer
I rushed out into the bay of the fire
trench and right up against the para
pet, where it was safer.
Hundreds Of star shells were being
sent up by both sides and the field
and the trenches were as bright as
day. All up and down the trenches
our men were lodging about, keeping
out of the way Of the bombs that
were being thrown in our faces. It
did not seem as il there was any place
where it was possible to get cover.
Most of the time was picking dirt out
Of my eyes that explosions had driven

there more than few minutes when
a big one dropped in and that bay was
just one mess. Out of the "a men in
the bay only eight escaped.

Stopping the Huns at Dixmude.

Stopping the Huns at Dixmude.
| | was standing in a communication
| trench that connected one Of our 'front.'
| line trenches with a crater caused by
| the explosion of a mine. All around
me men of the third line were coming
up, climbing around, digging, hammer
ing, shifting plankS, moving sandbags
up and down, bringing up new timbers,
reels of barbed wire. ladders, cases Of
ammunition, machine guns, trench
mortars-all the things that make an
army look like general store on legs.
The noise of the guns was just deaf
ening, Our own shells passed not far
above our heads, so close were the
enemy trenches, and the explosions
were so near ard so violent that when
you rested your rifle butt on something
solid, like a rock, you could feel it
shake and hum every time a shell
landed.
Our first line was just on the out
skirts of the town, in trenches that
had been won and lost by both sides
many times. Our second line was in
the streets and the third line was
almost at the south end of the town.
The Huns were hard at it, Smelling
the battered remains of Dixmude, and
to the right stretcher bearers were
working in lines so close that they
looked like two parades passing each
other. But the bearers from the COM
pany near me had not returned from
the emergency dressing station and
the wounded were piling up, waiting
for them.
A company of the 2me Legion Etran-
gere had just come up to take their
stations in the crater, under the para
pet of sandbags. A shell landed among
them just before they entered the era
ter and sent almost whole squad
west, besides wounding several others.
Almost before they occupied the
crater the wires were laid and reached
back to us, and the order came for US
to remain where we were until further
orders.
Then we got the complete orders.
We were to make no noise but were all
to be ready In ten minutes. We put
on goggles and respirators. In ten
minutes the bombers We're to leave the
trenches. Three mines were to ex-
plode and then we were to take and
hold certain portion of The enemy
trenches not far off. We were all
ready to start up the ladders when
they moved Nig's section over to ours
and he sneaked up to me and whis-
pered behind his hand, "Be sport,
Doc; make it fifty-ifty and gimme n
chance"
l did not have any idea what he
meant and he had to get back to his
squad. Then the bombers came up to
the ladders, masked and with loaded
sacks on their left arms. zone min
