the advances In that grain were q steadying

expected TO prove a great drawback. not only to

Tor cash oats TO arrive were called frmer on

easier Cash oats by sample were hc TO lc lower

IN active demand and strong but poor grades
wero easier.
There were further advances In the price Of

around curiously. Over the door OF
same was little sign reading. Sui
eide Annex" One Of the boys toid
me that this particular front trench
was called Suicide Ditch" Later on
I learned that machine gunners and
bombers are known as the Suicide
Club"
That dugout was muddy. The men
slept in mud, washed in mud, ate
mud. and dreamed mud. I never be-
fore realized that, 30 much discom-
fort and misery could be contained In
those three little letters, NJ U ID. The
hoor Of the dugout was an inch deep
In water. Outside IL was raining cats
and dogs, and thin rivulets were
trickling down the steps. From the
airshaft Immediately above me came
drip, drip, drip. Suicide Annex
was a hole eight feet wire. ten wide
long, and six feet high. It was about
twenty feet below the IRE trench; at
least there were twenty steps leading
down to II. These steps were cut into
the earth, but at that time were mud
dy and slippery. A man had to be
very careful or else he would shoot
the chutes." The air was foul. and
you could cut the smoke from Tom
my's fags with a knife. It was cold.
The walls and roof, were supported
with heavy square-cut timbers, while
the entrance was strengthened with
sand-bags. Nails had been driven
into these tiInbers. On each nail hung
a miscellaneous assortment Of equip
ment The lighting arrangements
were superb. One candle in q refiec-
tor made from an ammunition tin. Ny
teeth were chattering from the cold.
and the drip from the Slrshaft did not
help matters much While was sit

for the freside at home, the fellow

From the darkness In one OF the
corners came q thin, piping voice
singing one of the popular trench dit

Kit Bag and Smile. Smile. Smile"
Every now and then the singer
would stop to cough. cough, cough.
