instance where I jumped behind a
little shrub that wouldn't have
shielded me from SNOWFALL, but the
shell fragments happened to miss
me- The shells seem to scream
"you-you-you" and appear to sail
along until they see you, and sud-
denly explode, throwing fragments
all around. We had a small taste
of gas but not enough to cause cas-
ualties. l had few close shaves
but then in this game slight miss
is as good as no shell at all.

sition worries man at times. 1t IS

UcE VI.
This war is like big game. We
send shells over knowing where they
are going, but not seeing the effect:
and shells come whistling in on US
mysteriously from no where at all.
The only warning we have is the re-
port of a gun in the distance. A
mans hearing becomes so sensitive
that he can tell by the sound of a
gun in the distance whether it is the
one that generally fires on him or
not. Thanks to the accuracy of guns
man can tell approximately where
Fritz is shooting after the first few
shells come over, and can keep away
from that zone. Whenever he let's
up a few minutes it is good policy
to keep near shelter until you can
determine where he is going to fire
next. His interval of firing is quite
uniform and man can run out be-
tween shells if he hurries. It is real
ly surprising how much a man can
accomplish between shells.
Annette Kellerman has nothing on
me when it comes to diving. MANY

The newspapers have told you al
most exactly where we are and what
we are doing, but we can't tell any
thing at all. We can't even men,

the current magazines We have to

When we first landed our boys
took pity on the German prisoners,
and gave them cigarettes and eveni
let them pick around i'm anr garbage,

US, and what once was nice forest
to conceal cur position in, was
moved down like a grain field after
severe hail storm Bill must have
hurled the whole Siberian railroad
upon us in the form of shells. 1t
is only due to the fact that Fritz
is a poor mathematician that we did
not join the winged aggregation"
If he could figure the right correc-
tions for drift, wind direction, air
pressure, ETC.. and then lay his heavy
guns accurately, you would find me
way down in the saps, instead of in
our fragile dugouts, laughing at him
and sursing at him in turn.
One day he had US enfiladed with
two batteries of heavies while we
were firing a barrage for the infan-
try attack, and had an aeroplane
overhead for adjustment of fire, but
we finished our firing without losing
a single man. He buried our guns,
turned them around and did practi-
cally everything but ruin them. We
were glad to find out later that our
barrage was a success and our infan-
try had gained another line of
trenches You have, no doubt. read
of gains made by Americans in a
certain sector. l am proud to say
that my battery had hand in it.
Possibly l haven't told you before
that l have been doing duty with
"B" battery ever since l reached this
side of the pond. l originally be-
longed to OF" battery. "B" battery
has been cited by the French for
valient conduct under fire, and for
that reason I am proud to let you
