Southwest Washington is in for what probably
will be an unforgettabe experience for each of us
next Saturday-the total eclipse of the sum-
In Tacoma 80 per cent of the great balls surface
will be botted out, the remaining narrow segment
being less and less further south until at Chehais,
the bright rim will totally disappear and the eclipse
be complete.
Those who have seen the phenomenon say it is an
experience of lifetime.
AS the darkness gathers the color of the ''twi-
light is uncanny. People look like corpses under
its blush beams. Shadows of trees are inter-
spersed with small crescents. Strange waves of
light go shooting by the ground as tho the earth
were moving swiftly from under you.
AT the moment when the black disc of the moon
wholly covers the suns surface darkness settles
much the same as night And then there flashes
into view around the black disc the red promi
inences which shoot out from the sun thousands of
miles into space. Around the entire sun play the
pale halo and the streamers of the solar corona.
The large stars become visible.
The shadow quickly passes on and the moment
the first beam of light strikes the earth the dark
ness passes and the eclipse returns to the partial
stage. It's wonderful sight but totality lasts
only couple of minutes

CHAPTER XIV.
Back To the Front.

We left for Swan Chateau about 9
o'clock that night, and after about an
hour on the road ran smack into
new form OF strafng-an air raidl /
don't know whether it was because it
was new to me or what, but it Ger
tainly got me windy. 1t was dark, and
before we knew it there was a flock
of planes right down on top of US.
We couldn't see them, but they were
so low that we could hear the engines
humming like bees. and the anti-air-
craft guns began to go off. We had
just passed number of ammunition
dumps, and we knew that was what
they were after. Also we knew that
if they hit the ammo we would go
with it.
Led by the officers we left the road
and beat it across the open fields
Then the first bomb landed couple
of hundred yards back toward the
dumps. 1t must have lifted out a
chunk of Flanders as big as a freight
car, because mud and stones showered
down around US. / had seen one of
these bombs, unexploded, in another
place, and didn't want any dropping
near me. They are pear-shaped, with
an iron tail like the feather of an
arrow, to make them fall straight, and
they weigh 90 to 20 pounds.
We scattered across the open, rum
ming at top speedway from the
ammo dumps. A minute later another
bomb went off on the road which
we had just left. | happened to be
looking over my shoulder and saw it
Omaha daily bee., 1918-05-11

go up with a great red fare and a
ground-shaking Boom
Then they commenced dropping all
over the shop. The noise was terrify-
ing. The anti-aircraft guns were
barking--yap, yap, yap, yap, yap,
boom-that would be a bomb-yap,
yap, boom-and over it all the vicious
heavy hum of the low-Aying planes.
1t may be because it was new, but
everybody had the sensation that each
bomb was hunting for him indi-
vidually. .,
When the rumpus was over Git lasted
maybe 10 minutes), the bait was scat
tered all over the landscape. 1t took
two hours for the officers to round
us up and get on. ,
We made the Chateau about 5
o'clock in the morning. Our quarters
here were good. The dugouts, if you
would call them that, were above
ground, built out of corrugated iron
against old ruins, and sandbagged on
top. We were there four days with
nothing to do. 1t wasn't safe to go
about much, as few shells dropped
near every day. There was lot OF
our heavy artillery there, and we used
to lie in the sun watching the big
boys send over their messages, but
mostly we stuck to the dugouts.
On the fifth day news came back
that the Scotch attack had been
washout, and that we were to 60 up
that night and take over new sector
in front of Westhoek, near the foot Of
Passchendaele ridge; two days later
we were to go over the top and take
the objectives where others had
failed.
We spent the days putting all our
unnecessary stuff in our packs, which
were to be left behind. I had a lot
of souvenirs. some of them things /
had been packing around for year,
and little thought that / should ever
see them again.

Arguments Of County Over Circuit
Court Decree indicate New
Record Is Being Made.

a new record in the Rock Island
county jail case is being made up
that will permit another whirl L

Indications of this made their ap-
pearance yesterday ia tho argu-
ment submitted by the special at

matter OF the form Of q decree to be
entered IN the circuit court
Arguments were not concluded
yesterday before Judge w. r..

Thursday morning.
II appears that, although the Bn-
preme court directed the circuit
court to grant the relief prayed by
the complainant, the direction is iU
those general terms common 10 tho

Is as to what shall be specified 600

as a public square and later. TAX

that the county is entitled 20 an In
