up reinforcementS nor retire. So we
went over and cleaned them out and
took the trench. But then our guns
had to stop because we were in range,
and the Turks brought up reinforce
ments from other parts of the line and
we were driven back after holding
their trench all afternoon. It was
about fifty-fifty. though, for when they
reinforced one part of the line some
Of our troops would break through in
another part
That night there was terrible rain
storm. / guess it was really a cloud
burst. We had all the water we
wanted then, and more, too. A great
many men and mules were drowned,
both of our troops and the Turkish.
Trenches were washed in and most of
the works ruined. There were several
Turkish bodies washed into our trench,
and two mules came over together,
though whether they were Turkish or
French or British do not know.
A few days after the rain stopped
was going along the road to the
docks at ~" beach when saw some
examples of the freakishness of shells.
There was long string Of mules go
ing back to the trenches with water
and supplies Of various kinds. We
drew up to one side to let them pass.
Two or three mules away from us
was an Old-timer with only one ear,
and that very gray, loaded to the gun
wales with bags Of water. He had had
his troubles that old boy, but they
were just about over, for there was a
flash and the next instant you could
not see thing left Of Old Missouri.
He just vanished. But two of the
water bags were not even touched,
and another one had only little hole
in 1t. There they lay on the ground,
just as though you had taken the mule
out from under them. The mules next
him, fore and aft, were knocked down
by the conclusion but unharmed; but
the third mule behind had one ear
cut to shreds, and the man behind
him was badly shot up and stunned.
A little farther on shell had struck
the road and plowed furrow two or
three feet wide, and just as straight
as an arrow for three Of four yards;
it then turned off at almost
right angle and continued for a yard
or two more before it burst and made
big hole. That Turk gunner must
have put lot Of English on that shell
when he fired it. He got somebody's
number with that shot, too, and the
lad paid pretty high, for there was
blood around the hole, not quite dry
when we got to it.

The Building Of Life.

Life is building. 1t rises slowly
day by day, through the years. Every
new lesson we learn lays block on
the edifice which is rising silently with
in us. Every experience. every touch
of another life on ours, every influence
that impresses us, every book we read,
every conversation we have, every act
of our commonest days, adds some
thing to the invisible building. r.
Miller.

CHAPTER xII-continued.

IL
No one man can see all of an attack,
which may extend over miles of
ground, but during the three weeks
was in the trenches on the Gallipoli
peninsula we made four grand attacks
and many minor ones, so | know in a
general way what they are like. Each
wave is organized like the others.
First come three lines Of what you
might call grenadiers, though they are
not picked for size as the old kings
grenadiers used to be. They are de-
ployed in skirmish formation, which
means that every man is three yards
from the next. They were armed only
with grenades, but, you can take it
from me, that is enough! Behind them
come two lines, also in skirmish for
nation, and armed with machine guns
and grenade rifles. The first men or
the left carry machine guns, then come
three rifle grenadiers, and then anoth-
er machine gun and so on down the
length of the line. After these come
two lines of riflemen with flxed bay
onets.
Then come the trench cleaners, or
.moppers-up, as we call them. They
Iwere some gang, believe me. Imagine
a team of rugby players spread out in
two lines-only with hundreds of men
on the team instead of eleven, and
each man a husky, capable Of ham
ding a baby grand piano single
handed. These fellows were armed
with everything you could think Of,
and whole lot more that you could
not dream about in a nightmare. It
used to remind me of a trial saw
In New York once, where the police
had raided yeggmen's flop and had
all their weapons in the courtroom as
exhibits.
The moppers-up were heeled with
sticks, clubs, shillelahs, black-jacks.
two-handed cleavers, axes, trench
knives, poniards, up-to-date toma-
hawks, brass knuckles, slung shots
anything that was ever invented for
crashing a man with, guess, except
firearms. These knock-down, drag-out
artists follow the riflemen very closely.
Their job was to take care of all the
Turks who could not escape and would
not surrender.
There are lots Of men in any army
who will not surrender, but think
probably there were more Turks of
that gameness than men in most other
armies / have heard that it is part
Of their religion that a man, If he
dies fighting, goes to very specially
fancy heaven, with plenty to eat and
smoke. And I suppose If he surren-
ders they believe he will be put in
the black gang, stoking for eternity
down below. It was awfully hot at the
Dardanelles and I guess the Turks
did not want it any hotter. for very
few of them ever surrendered, and the
trench cleaners had a lot to do. Their
Job is really important, for it is danger
Gus to have groups of the enemy alive
and kicking around in their trenches
after you have passed. Almost every
prisoner we took was wounded.
The one thing do not like to have
people ask me is, "How does it feel to
kill a mann" and / think the other
boys feel the same way about 1t. 1t
is not thing you like to talk about
or think about either. But this time,
at "V" beach, when we got past the
first and second Turk trenches and
were at work on the third, I do not
mind saying that was glad whenever

CHAPTER Xiii.
Limevs. Anzacs and PolIus.


One night, while we were expecting
an attack, the word was passed down
the line to have the wire cutters ready
and to use bayonets only for the first
part of the attack, for we were to try
and take the first enemy trench BY
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain Of fire too
closely, it seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
as it does sometimes, and there were
plenty of Turks left. We were half
| way across when they saw us, and
they began banging away at us very
hard. They pounded at us as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost as we were on them
what was left Of us.
AS we turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to counter-attack us,
the first of them busy with bombs.
Then I tripped over something and
rolled around a while and then saw
it was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest Of him by shred. Two or three
Of our men who were on their way
back to our trenches tripped over me
as tried to get up, and then shell
exploded near by and I thought had
got it sure. but It was only the rocks
thrown I'M nv the EXPLOSION
Finally was able to stand up. SO
slung my rifle over one shoulder
and got Philippe Pierre up ON the
other, with his body from the waist
up hanging over my back, so that
I could hold his wounded leg on, and
started back. There was only one or
two of our men left between the
trenches. Our machine guns were at
1t hard and the Turks were firing and
bombing at full speed.
had not gone more than two or
three PAGES when came across
another Of our men, wounded I'm sew
eral places and grooming away at q
great rate. Philippe Pierre was not
saying word, but the other chap
did enough for the two of them. One
wounded man was all I could manage,
with my rifle and pack, over the rough
ground and the barbed wire had tc
go through. So told this fellow,
whose name I cannot remember
never did know him very well-that 1
would come back for him, and vert
on. / almost fell several times, but
managed to get through safely and
rolled over our parapet with Philippe
Pierre. They started the lad back in
a stretcher right away. When I sav
him again he gave me a little box as
a souvenir, but have lost it.
The Turks had not got very far with
their cOunter-attack, because we were
able to get our barrage going in time
to check them. But they were still out
in front of their trenches when ]
started back after the other garby.
I was not exactly afraid as crawled
along searching for the other man,
but was very thirsty and nervous
for fear our barrage would begin
again or the machine guns cut loose.
After what seemed long time I came
upon wounded man, but he was not
the one was after. / thought about
"a bird in the hand" etc., and was just
starting to pick this chap up when
Il shell burst almost on us and
knocked me two or three feet away.
It Is wonder it did not kill both

HARRY LAUDER AND wHIsKY.

George Adams in the Association
Mems News states that when Harry
Lauder visited one of the camps re-
Gently some special Scotch whisky
had been obtained in his honor. When
he was Informed of this and asked to
take some, he said: "Pass me the

ALIFE SENTENCE

Jack Lait, in Hearst's Magazine, has
Omaha Slim, discussing the law
against whisky manufacturing, say:
For the period of the war is what
the law said. call that rich. Period is
right. A period is what comes at the
end of the sentence, amt it? Well, this
period is the end, an the sentence is
for life. Can you see us gettin' back
our rights after the war? If the proud
an primeval ins'titootion couldn't stay
here when IT was here it's got a fine
chancet to get back here when it ain't
here"

I slipped my bayonet into Turk ana
more glad when I saw another one
coming. guess saw red all right.
Each time thought, Maybe you are
the one who did poor old Murray"
And could see Murray as he looked
when they took him down from the
storehouse wall. Then I would stick
another one.
The others from the Cassard were
red-hot, too, and they went at the
Turks in great style. There was
nothing to complain about in the way
they fought, but wished that we had
had few more boys from the Foreign
Legion with us. think we would have
gone clear on through to Constant
aople.
