HUNS DIRTY TRICK AVENGED
No Member Of Party Lived to Tell Of
Shipping" Yanks While on Er.
rand of Mercy.

THE body Of a dead Yank," Private
Albert Hawk said, clay in No Mans
Land in front of our lines. The Huns
tied ropes 10 the hands of the dead
soldier, and by pulling the ropes made
1t appear that the soldier was alive
and waving his arms to summon help.
"A dozen Of our me crawIed ont
to help their supposedly wounded com.
rade. As they approached the sol,
dier's body, Hun snipers picked them
off. Half a dozen brave men had fall,
en- before the trick was discovered.
Forty of US charged at that sniper's
nest with baynets. We didn't even
think about the danger, and didn't
care a rap.
I'VE found eight German snIpers In
that nest and not one of them escaped,
We drove our bayonets into them.
