"The present condition Of the rail-

Many more entered other lines of
work. Instead of usual repairs to
engines last summer, the railroads

r'ficing a few to save many.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-02-06

On Monday night the handful OF
Sammies, forming a patrol was In
vestigating the damage done to the
German trench wires by Sunday
nights bombardment.
An American rocket signal from an
adjacent sector suddenly called for a
barrage The rain of death started
Immediately. The little patrol was
UP against 1.-THE men facing death
from their own shells. They resolved
to make dash for safety.
Spreading out in open formation
they gradually made their way back
to their own trenches through their
own barrage. taking refuge from the
explosions in shell holes and de
pressions in No Mans Land.
Dodging, ducking and making short
rushes across the she'll swept terrain
the Americans finally reached their
own lines and leaped over their par
apets.
The expected German attack, in
anticipation Of which the barrage was
signaled for, failed to develop. This
was probably due to the promptness
and precision Of the American bar
rage.
All day today the American artil
lery was fairly active. Machine guns
chartered periodically along the whole
American sector. The enemy threw
over his regular quota of pineapple
bombs and rifle grenades.
German shells were scattered over
the Americans supply and transport
organizations In the rear.
Photographs taken by aviators
show that Saturday evenings Amer
ican barrage greatly damaged the
enemy front lines. The damage has
already been repaired. Nevertheless
the shelled German areas are not yet
entirely habitable.
The army paymasters visited the
American artillery units today. With
shouts of welcome, the Sammiei
scrambled from their bomb proofs
and lined up to receive their salaries
which they have set aside for Liberty
bond installments.
What can a guy do with money
out here?" demanded one little artil
leryman, standing with his gas mask
ready for use and flourishing hand
full OF franc notes.
Apparently the question was soon
answered. Ten minutes later an old
blanket was spread out on the ground
underneath the trees. and a cluster OF
Sammies was kneeling about 1t, in
tently watching certain small white
objects which were cast ever and
anon upon the blanket while the sol
diers cried:
"Come on, my baby needs pair OF
shoes!' and read 'em-read 'em,
