CHAPTER VI.
"Back Of the Line"

Our tour in the front-line trench
lasted four days, and then we were
relieved by the - brigade.
Going down the communication
trench we were in merry mood. al
though we were cold and wet, and
every bone In our bodies ached. 1t
makes lot of difference whether you
are "going In" or ''going out"
At the end of the communication

to ride back to rest billets, but soon
found out that the only time an in
fantryman rides Is when he Is
wounded and is bound for the base or
Blighty. These limbers carried our
reserve ammunition and rations. Our
march to rest billets was thoroughly
enjoyed by me. 1t seemed as II I

hind everything that was disagree

this way after being relieved from the
trenches.
We marched eight kilos and then

The captain gave the order to turn

his return. Pretty soon he came back
and told B company to occupy billets
lit, 11S and 119. Billet III was an
old stable which had previously been
occupied by cows. About four feet In
front Of the entrance was huge ma
nure pile, and the odor from 1t was
anything but pleasant. Using my
flashlight stumbled through the door.
Just before entering I observed
white sign reading: "sitting 80. lying

did not strike me. Next morning I
asked the sergeant major what it
meant. He nonchalantly answered:
"That's some Of the work of the R.

1t simply means that in case Of an at
tack, this billet will accommodate
fifty wounded who are able to sit up
and take notice, or twenty stretcher

MAsoNs PLAY CARDS

The Masonic party Tuesday night was
an especially pleasant affair. About
seventy guests were present, over fifty

were only two dugouts. and these were
used by Lewis and Vickers machine

ours. Pretty soon 1t started to rain.
We put on our "macks," but they were
not much protection. The rain trickled
down our backs, and it was not long
before we were wet and cold. How l
passed that night will never know,
but without any unusual occurrence,
dawn arrived.
The word ''stand down" was passed
along the line. and the sentries got

KEMMEE HILL TAKEN
IN HARD STRUGGLE
IMPORTANT POINT CONSIDERED
KEY TO SOUTHERN SIDE OF
YPRES SALIENT.
ATTACK TO PECAPTURE It
Germans Have Made ,ortant Gains
at Other Points Aloi.s the Battle
Line.

KENNEL hill, a height which has
been looked upon as the key TO the
southern side of the Yprcs salient and
one of the most important strategic
positions on the northern battle front
in France. has been taken by the Ger
mans, after a defense which will be-
come OF the heroic chapters Of the
war. The hill was surrounded and
the French forces ~cntrenchnd on it's
slopes were overcome.
The loss OF the hill, which is adj
mitted in an official statement by Gen
cral Delma Radcliffe, chief director Of
military operations at the British war
office brings to the allies a rcaliZa-
ton that the whole Yprcs position is
in peril from the German drive north
ward from the lowlands lying to the
west Of Armcnticrcs
The Tcutons launched terrific at
tacks along the whole Wytschaete-
Baillcul-Metcrcn line, apparently for
the purpose Of finding a point which
might yield. They evidently found
that spot in the section Of front held
Jointly by the British and French
troops; and against it they hurled
fresh divisions which fought their way
forward all day until at nightfall they
had surrounded KENNEL hill and iso-
lated the French troops holding the
position.
The loss Of KENNEL hill is serious
for it ovcrlooks much OF the lowlands
lying back of the allied lines in the
Ypres salient. The hill is AGA feet
in height. rising from lowlands on
the south and east. 1t s six miles
southwest Of Yprcs and three miles
west Of Wytschactc. This German
success cuts a deep notch in the allied
line to the southwest Of Ypres and
completely outfanks the British on
the northern slopes of Mcssines ridge,
10 which they were forced two weeks
ago. Tho line to the southwest, to-
ward Bailleul. apparently is in no par
ticular danger at present. although
the village Of Dranoutrc has been lost
to tho enemy.

Camp Nowhere Yet.
July Is, $40.
Left Camp Custer at a. M, haye
just gone through a small town,
Woodslee, like Delton, now a 10-acre
field of beets. Rye looks to be cut
and threshed, barley ripe, but awful
short, some of the oats SO short they
are being cut for hay, rail fences, log
houses. Saw a field of fax and an
electric engine hauling freight cars.
1t looked funny because of no smoke
stack. Wheat is very thin and short
in places. Just crossed canal about
three rods wide Farmers are haying,
corn looks good, only whitening for
want of rain. Pretty good looking
potato crops. Will finish later, as
must sleep. l go on guard duty, two
hours on and four off, for "a hours.
Also I cannot mail this until | get
back to the states.
Later: Are now stopping at st.

can't I am satisfied anyway. Gee,
but it is. a sight, mother, to be in a

BURN GERMAN
BOOKS AT WESLEY

The kaiser received a bad slap in
the face on Wednesday in Westby
when bonfire was made for the de-
struction of all the German books
that had been in use in our school.
To make the occasion all the more
suspicious picture of the kaiser was
also burned-a very fitting combina-
ton to be destroyed. We have yet to
hear of patriotic citizen who did not
approve of this action, and you should
have seen the soldiers, how pleased
they were to see the performance. We
could have done nothing that would
have shown the boys more wildly
that we are back of them at home
while they are away fighting for us.

Mrs. Young says to receive such a

to the usmost.

Somewhere in England.
Dear Grandma:
Your lovely letter received along
with one of mothers the other day
and you may know | was very glad to
hear from you. 1t makes things
brighter, and this life worth the while
fort and cheer from home.
It's terribly lonesome and time sure
drags when so far away from home
and relatives, but when those letters
us forget the distance between us and
brings us closer together in heart and
soul if not in person and body. I
have thought of you and Aunt Bellies
folks many times since being away,
and pray and wish for a speedy re-
turn to you all. After returning and
when I see you before going hack to
Detroit, l shall tell you many expe-
riences of mine which are not per-
mitted now, SO all my letters from
this side will be far from interesting,
but on the other hand, will give you
assurance of my good health and
safety, causing none of you to worry
or wonder as to my few hardships and
difficulties I am having in army life.
Grandma, you sure have done won
derful work with your knitting and
are entitled to lots of credit from the
Red Cross. I will say they are doing
q great work for humanitys sake, and
it needs the support and hard work of
all loyal Americans who are left at
home
Remember me to all, tell them to
write, and pray for us. Trusting your
health is better when you receive this,
am your loving grandson,

Twelve Thousand Jackies See
Show

A letter from Harlan Page, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. H. X. Page of this city,
who, in company with Martin Joyce,
went to the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing station ten days ago. in part reads
as follows:
"Just had my second shot in the
arm. They give a double dose in this
one and my head reeled for minute,
but feel 0. X. now. In about three
days we leave this camp and move
over to Camp Dewey, where, l under
stand, we will manicure the roads
until we can get into school. They
say the aviation school is pretty full
now and we may have to wait awhile
before we can get in.
"We all went over to see a show in
Camp Farragut on Friday and didn't
get back until 1920. It was some
show; we saw eight acts of vaudeville
similar to those shown at the Orph-
cum in Madison The ravine here is
an open-air theater and the stage is
at the bottom of the ravine and seats
go up on both sides. Twelve thousand
jackies witnessed the show. To enter
tain the actors we sang Good Morn
ing, Mr.. Zip, Zip, Zip throwing our
hats in the air in time with the mu-
sic; also sang Liberty Bell and at the
same time locked arms and swayed
back and forth in time. Imagine what
it looked like-twelve thousand jack
les singing and swaying back and
forth-a grand sight.
"This morning we had baked beans,
butter and bread with jam and coffee
for breakfast and I sure laid in sup

evening at and lots of letters and
boxes are given out. | guess I am out
of luck, as I have only received one
letter from you.

$1OO Have taken $40 worth and still
have $50 to take out.
Thirteen hundred men arrived from
Detroit last night, and they are com
ing in today by the thousands. Will
stop now and go down and help kid
the rockies. They are all greeted with
you'll like it; wait till you get that
first shot; chewing gum and cigar
cites in this bag, etc. Lots of fun.
