The odor from the dug-up. decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. It first produces
a nauseating feeling, which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon a
weakening sensation follows, which
leaves you limp as dlshrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel sort Of hopelessness and mad
desire to escape it all, to get to the
open fields and the perfume Of the flow.
ers in Blighty. There is a sharp,
prickling sensation In the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through radiator in the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect ON me, surmounted by a
vague horror Of the awfulness Of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps /, sooner or later, would
be in such state and be brought to
light by the blow of pick in the hands
of some Tommy on digging party.
Several times have experienced this
odor, but never could get used to It;
the enervating sensation was always
present. It made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory Of the conflict would disap-
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filing your
lungs with deep breaths Of pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be cup and at them"

Wool for the Jana.

Our friends. the Japanese. are wor.
ried about wool. And no wonder.
There are only about 5000 sheep in the
whole empire>of Nippon, and the Inn
ports of wool on which it has been ac-
customed to rely have been cut Off BY
the war.
Japan is country with climate
much like our own. Nevertheless, the
civilian population might get along
without wool somehow. But the sol.
diers who nre being sent to Siberia
must have wooden clothing, good and
warm, and how 1t is to be obtained Is
IL puzzle. Tss

At six we reported for instructions.
They were simple and easy. All we
had to do was to crawl out into No

ears to the ground and listen for the

sappers who might be tunneling under

OF course, In our orders we were told
not to be captured by German patrols
or accommodating parties. Lots Of
breath Is wasted on the western front
giving silly cautions.
AS soon as 1t was dark, Wheeler and
I crawled to our post which was about
halfway between the lines. It was
raining bucketfuls. the ground was
sea Of sticky mud and chung to us like
glue.
We took turns In listening with our
ears to the ground. I would listen for
twenty minutes while Wheeler would
be on the qui vive for German patrols.
We each wore a wristwatch, and he
lieve me, neither one Of US did over
twenty minutes. The rain soaked rs
to the skin and our ears were full OF
mud.
Every few minutes q bullet vsuld
crack overhead or machine gun would
traverse back and forth.
Then all firing suddenly ceased. ]

was as still as mouse and was
scared stiff.
Hardly breathing and with eyes try
ing to pierce the inky blackness. we
waited. I would have given thou
sand pounds to have been safely in
my dugout.
Then we plainly heard footsteps and
our hearts stood still.
A dark form suddenly doomed up In
front Of me; it looked as big as the
Woolworth building. could hear
the blood rushing through my veins
and It sounded as loud as Niagara
falls.
Forms seemed to emerge from the
darkness. There were seven Of them
in all. I tried to wish them away. I
never wished harder in my life. They
muttered few words In German and
melted into the blackness. I didn't
stop wishing either.
All of sudden we heard a stumble,
muddy splash, and muttered "Don.
ner und Bitten" One Of the Boches
had tumbled into a shell hole. Neither
Of us laughed. At that time-it didn't
strike US as funny.
About twenty minutes after the Ger.

trench; we looked like wet hens and
felt worse. After a swig Of rum we
were soon fast asleep on the fire step
