afraid I would get shell shock, too.
SO began to think about Murray and
how he looked when they took him
off the wall. But that did not stop the
shlvering. so thought about my grand
mother and how she looked the last
time l saw her. l was thinking about
her, guess, and not keeping very
good lookout, when man rolled over
the edge and almost fell on me. He
was from the other trenches. l carried
him into the dugout and then went out
again and stood my watch until the
relief came. We were doing half-hour
shifts.
When I got Into the dugout again
the man was coming 20. He was just
about as near shell shock as l had
been--by this time I was shiverlng
only once In a while. when I did not
watch myself. He said four men had
been sliced up trying to get to us be-
fore he came; that they had lost
IL men out Of their 80, including the
sergeant-major In command and two
corporals; that they were almost out
Of ammunition; that the trenches on
both sides of them had been blown In

Then one OF our men sat up straight
against the parapet and stared at us
and began 10 shake all over. but we
could not get him to sny anything or
move. so we knew he had shell shock.
And another man watched him for a
while, and then he begnn TO shake,
too. The sergeant said that II we

forced. and what was happening. and
whether the Turks would attack us. II
was easy to see why we were not rein
forced--no body Of men could have
got to IN from the reserve trenches.
The communication trenches were
quite a distance from M and were
battered up at that. Some Of the men
said we had been forgotten and that
the rest Of our troops had either re-
tired or advanced and that we and
tho men In the trench who had tried
to signal us were the only detachments
left there.
Pretty soon another man and I
relieved the two men who were out

to US that he thought the Turks were

We could not tell what the rest OF
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful nre. but we felt
sure they were not having amy worse
time than we were In a few minutes
we heard the good old "75s" start
pounding. and Il was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone.
and everybody In our shell hole
cheered. though ho one could hear us
and we could barely hear ench other.
Still we knew that II the "75s" got
going In their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two, and
that looked good TO us. The "75s"
mnde the noise worse. but II was al
ready about as bad us II could be,
and a thousand guns more or less
would not have made It any harder
10 stand.
One OF our men shouted In the ser
geant's eur that the men In line ahead
OF us and 10 the right were trying to
give us n message OF some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had look. but stayed
where ! was--the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too. as far as l
was concerned.
He shouted nt us that the men In
the other trench were trying to signal
something. but he could not make II
out because the clouds OF smoke would
roll between them and break up the
words. SO he laid down again IN the
bottom OF the hole. But after while
he looked over the parapet and saw
man Just leaving their trench, evi.
IDENTIFY with message for us, and he
had not gone Ave steps before he was
blown TO pieces, and the lad who fol.
lowed him got his, too, so they stopped
trying then.
And all the time the "75s' were
sending theirs to the Turks not far
over our heads to 900 yards behind
us, and the howitzcrs were dropping
their 2f0-pound bits of iron In every
vacant space and some TINT were not
vacant. II was just one big roar and
screech and growl all mt once. like
turning the whole dog pound loose
on piece of ment
The concusslons felt like one long
string Of boxes on the ear, and our
throats were so dry that II hurt to
swallow, which always makes your
ears feel better after a strong concus-
sion. One after another Of our boys
was slipping to the ground and digging
his fists Into his ears. and the rest OF
them sat on the parapet FIRE step with
their hends between their knees md
their arms wrapped around their
heads.
Our sergeant came to me after a
while and began acting Just like
people do at a show, only he shouted
instead of whispered in my ear. When
people are looking at one show they
always want to tell you how good some
other show Is, and that was the way
with the sergeant.

A British airman was flying alone

camera. A whistle of machine-gun
bulleta disturbed him. He just saw

When he recovered consciousness he
found that he had dropped all the

And he began TO show that he was

as n Just had to do something. no
matter what. ! had never felt that
way before, and had never been
anxious '"go west" with shell for
company, but I have felt that way
since then several times. I can tell
you.
The man was telling us that some
time before they had seen the Turks
bringing up ammunition from some
storehouses, but they did not come
anywhere near. He said their sergeant
wanted our messenger to tell them
that, too. He would say few words
very fnst. then he would shIver again,
and his jaws would clip together and
he would try to raise his hand. but
could not.
Then our sergeant asked the name
of the other sergeant, and when the
man told him he said the man was
senior to himself aud therefore In
command and would have to be obeyed.
He seemed to cheer up a lot after
he said this and did NOT shiver any
more. so | thought would volunteer

to say | would 20, but he looked at
me In funny way for n second aud
then snid, "Well, my son, suppose you
60 and find out"
I thought he was kidding me ut first,
but then I saw he meant 1t. l thought
two things about it--one was that any
thing was better than staying there,
and the other was that the old dugout
was a pretty fair place after all. But
i did not say anything to the ser
geant or the other men--just went
out Of the dugout. The sergeant and
another man went with me and boost
ed me over the back wall Of the hole.

again, and ! could not 20 on for
