Or anything like that from these
nurses.
A few shells landed near our hos
oital, while was there, but no patient
was hit. They knocked a shrine of Our
Lady to splinters, though, and bowled
over q big crucifx. The kitchen was
aear by, and 1t was just the chefs luck
to see pal of his, when a shell landed
plumb in the center of the kitchen,
and all you could see all over the bar
racks was stew.
That was a regular eatless day for
rs, until they rugged up bogies and got
some more dixies, and mixed up some
cornmeal for US. The chef made up
for it the next day, though. The chef
was a great little guy. He was a
"blesse" himself and I guess his stom-
ach sympathized with ours.
There was a Frenchman in the bed
next to me who had the whole side of
his face torn off. He told me he had
been next to a bomber, who had just
lit fuse and did not think 1t was
burning fast enough, so he blew on It.
1t burned fast enough after that, and
there he was.
There was a Belgian in one Of the
other wards, whom got to know pretty
we'll, and he would often come over
and visit me. He asked many ques-
tons about Dixmude, for he had had
relatives there, though he had lost
track of them. He often tried to de-
scribe the house they had lived in, so
that might tell him whether 1t was
still standing or not, but 1 could not
remember the place he spoke of. Dur
Ing our talks, he told me about many
atrocities. Some of the things he told
me I had heard before, and some Of
them heard of afterward. Here are
some things that he either saw or
heard Of from victims:
He said that when the Germans en-
tered the town of st. Quentin, they
started firing into the windows as they
passed along. First, after they had &C.
cupied the town, they bayoneted every
workingman they could find. Then
they took about half of the children
that they could find, and killed them
with their musket butts. After this,
they marched the remainder of the chill
dren and the women to the square,
where they had lined up a row of male
citizens against a wall. The women
and children were told that If they
moved, they would all be shot. An
other file of men was brought up, and
made to kneel in front of the other
men against the wall.
The women and children began to
beg for the lives of the men, and many

mocks, went overheard. You could
in the ward room.
When the ship is cleared for action,
a shell bursting inside cannot find
much to set aflre, and If one bursts on
deck, there is nothing to burn but the
wooden deck, and that is covered with
steel plate.
Finally, we had roll call-all men
present. Then we set sail for the
Dardanelles as escort to the Duplex,
which had on board territorial and
provincial French troops-Gascons,
Parisians, Normans, Indo-Chinese,
Spahis, Turcos-all kinds. When we
messed, we had to squat down on the
steel mess deck and eat from metal
plates.
There had been a notice posted be-
fore we left that the Zeppelins had be-
gun sea raids, and we kept a Eve eye
out for them. The news proved to be
a fake, though, and we did not see
single cigar while we were out.
We made the trip to the Dardanellds

men at gun practice daily. and by the
time we neared the Dardanelles, after
five days, they were In pretty fair
shape.
1t was about a. m. when we drew
near Cape Helles and took stations
for action. The Duplex was In front
Of us. The batteries on the cape
opened up on us, and In a few min
utes later those at Kun Kaleh Joined
In.
AS the Duplex made for "v" beach
and prepared to land her troops, we
swung broadside on, raking their bat
teries as we did so, and received a
shell, which entered through a gun
port in the after turret and exploded.
Some bags Of powder stored there
(where they should never have been)
were fred and the roof of the turret
was just lifted off. 1t landed on deck,
tilted up against the side of the tur-
ret.
On deck the rain of fire was simply
terrific. Steel few In all directions
1t was smash, crash, slam-bang all
the time, and do not mind saying I
never thought we would come out
OF 1t.
Some Of the heavy armor plate up
forward was shot away and after that
the old Cassard looked more like a
monitor than anything else to me. AS
we drew nearer the shore they began
using shrapnel on us and in no time
at all our tunnels were shot full OF
holes and q sieve was watertight COM
pared TO them.
Naturally we were not Just taking
all this punishment without any come
bnck. Our guns were at II fast and
from the way the fire slackened IN
certain places we knew we were max
ing 1t effective. My guns did for two
enemy pieces that know Of, and per-
haps several others.
The French garbies were a good
deal more excited In action than /
thought they would be. They were
lodging around below decks, trying
to miss the shrapnel that came
aboard, shouting, swearing, singing
but fighting hard, at that. They stood
the GAR just as well as any other
garbics would, only In their own
sweet way-which is noisy enough.
believe me.
One OF our seamen was hit 100
times by fragments of shrapnel, so
you can see what they were up
against in the lodging line. A gun

but have never seen a German officer
Head charge. They always were be-
hind their men, driving instead Of lead
ing. L do not believe they are as brave
MS they are said to be.
Well, we went over this time, and
the machine guns were certainly going
1t strong We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight, but
we could not make it and had to come
back. Only one company reached the
Boche trenches and not man of it
hn the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
The captain was missing, too. We
thought he was done for, but about
Two O'Clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
french, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell
crater full Of water for several hours.
He would not go back for treatment
then, and when daylight came, 1t was
too late, because we were practically
curt off by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
r When daylight came, the artillery
fire opened up right on US, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-five yards away. We re-
ceived bombs and shells right In our
faces. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy, and ran back over the parados.
He ran a few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. I think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to lis. Then the spot
where he had been was empty, and q
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. I do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut q
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
ploded. He had been hit by big
shell. and absolutely cut in two.
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven o'clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had we entered It, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on us,
not even waiting for their own troops
10 retire safely. They killed numbers
OF their own men in this way. But the
fire was so heavy that, when they coun'
ter-attacked, we had to retire again
and this time they kept after us and
drove US beyond the trench we had
originally occupied.
We left them there, with our art1l
Terry taking care Of them, and our ma

HEALTH INSURANCE
PROMOTES EFFICIENCY

The importance Of good health was
never more forcibly demonstrated than
right now. Thousands of men have
actually been rebuilt" by our govern
ment to make them efficient fighting
machines, and the results In many In
stances are nothing short of mar
velous.
Man now realizes that an under
nourished body results in loss OF
th-balance and renders him inef-
ficient and an easy prey to sickness
and disease. DR.. Schuessler demon
is the result of certain minerals In the
body being reduced below their re-
quired quantity, and that when these
minerals were restored to the body,
health returned.
Hull's Superlative is based upon this
very principle, and while 1t Is gener-
ally called medicine, in reality 1t is q
vitality-builder, the value to the human
body of which has been demonstrated
many thousands Of times during the
past % years.
Coughs, colds. the grip, tonsilitis.
stomach upsets, rheumatic conditions
and other sicknesses or ailments
promptly vanish once this rejuvenator
is taken, and the makers of Hull's

tory results will follow it's use that
