SHIPPER TELLS OF
WORK IN CUTTING

London, May 4.-(Correspondence OF

me- said Private Langford in relating
his experiences in the great German
offensive on the Somme. Langford who
was q member Of battalion stationed
at Mailly. is now in a hospital here re-
covering from a wound.
I'VE arrived on the Somme on the
morning OF March &c" he continued

Fritz was Smelling us pretty hard, put
ting over some very big stuff. AS soon
as we got into the trenches we spotted
the Germans 600 or 700 yards away on
a ridge. During the night our flying
men didn't allow those Huns any sleep
but kept peppering them with heavy
bombs.
About ten O'Clock the next morning
they started one OF the most terrific.
deadlest barrages l have ever seen. 1t
was fierce, and / have had seventeen
months of strafing. No gas shells but
all very heavy explosives. He kept this
bombardment up till about a quarter
of twelve, | should say then he left
his trenches and came toward us in
mass.
AS the boches came along | Killed
some myself. All our chaps were very
busy laying 'em out.
'Unluckily, when their creeping bar
rage got right on top of us we had
to keep down, and we couldn't see
what their game was. Fritz managed
to slip through gap on the left Of
our company.
Two machine gun crews IN ADVANCE
of the main body got through the gap
ar pinhf in rThpU ninnoA
through very quick and smart, and
planted their guns in a shell-hole in
no time, and intended no doubt to-
wipe us off the map. But our boys
spotted their game.
There were only about twenty-three
of us and the Huns with their machine
guns were about 30 yards distant at
our backs. Yes, he thought he'd got US
beat, but we had something up our
sleeve yet. AS quick as lightning our
chaps threw a nice little dose of Mills
bombs at 'en-and that was the end
of them. The whole lot We're done in.
we then looked to see what was
happening in front of our trenches. Il
saw they We're coming at full tilt at
us. They outnumbered us, | should
say by 40 to 1. But we got busy with
our machine guns and rifles, and did
great execution, cutting lines in 'em.
When they spotted what had hap
pened to those machine gun crews they
saw their chance was up. They turned
right about and ran, and they did run
too. You see. they weren't more than
if5 yards away when they turned, and
don't think a single one of them got
back to their line again. They We're
all killed or wounded. Most of them
were brave lot of men. No squealine
or hands-up business. They were ire
mendous big fellows-in fact, about the
biggest men | have seen. Just about
this time ] got wounded, and | must
say l was a bit sorry, because I was
just having the finest days shooting
