A Gas Helmet.

my head began TO swim, throat got
dry, and a heavy pressure on the lungs
warned me that my helmet was leak
ing. Turning by gun over to No. 2, l
changed helmets.
The trench started to wind like a
snake, and sandbags appeared to be
floating in the air. The noise was hor-

blackness.

removing my smoke helmet. How de-
licious that cool, fresh air felt In my
lungs.
A strong wind had arisen and dis
persed the gas.
They told me that l had been "out"
for three hours; they thought | was
dead. =
The attack had been repulsed after
a hard fight. Twice the Germans had
gained a foothold in u trench, but
had been driven out by counter-at-
lacks. The trench was filled with their
dead and ours. Through a periscope
l counted eighteen dead Germans in
our wire; they were a CHASTITY sight In

A bullet had gone through 1t On the
left side, just grazing. my ear. The
gas had penetrated through the hole
made In the cloth.
Out of our crew of six we lost two
killed and two wounded.
That night we buried all of the dead,
excepting those in No Mans Land. In
death there is not much distinction
friend and foe are treated alike.
After the wind had dispersed the
gas the X. A. NJ. G. got busy with their
chemical sprayers, spraying out the
dugouts and low parts of the trenches
