At one point of the line the trenches
were about thirty-two yards apart.
This sounds horrible, but in fact 1t was
easy, because neither side could shell
the enemy's frOntline trench for fear
shells would drop Into their own. This
eliminated artillery fire.
In these trenches when up against
the PrussiaDs and Bavarians, Tommy
had hot time of II, but when the Sax
ons took over" 1t was a picnic; they
would yell across that they were Sax
ons and would not fire. Both sides
would sit on the parapet and carry on
a conversation. This generally consist
ed of Tommy telling them how muck
he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons

informed that they had to use the rope
stairway, there was howl of indigna-
ton, but we had their money and told
them that If they did not like it they
could write to the management later
and their money would be refunded ::
but under these conditions they would
not be allowed to witness the perform
ance that night.
After little grousing they accepted
the situation with the promise that IL
the show was rotten they certainly
would let us know about it during the
performance.
Everything went lovely and 1t was a
bowling success, until Alkali Ike ap-
peared on the scene with his revolver
loaded with blank cartridges. Behiad
the bar on Il shelf was long line of
bottles. Alkali Ike was supposed to
start on the left of this line and break
six of the bottles by firing at them with
his revolver. Behind these bottles q
piece of painted canvas was supposed
TO represent the back of the bar. at
each shot from Alkali's pistol man
behind the scenes would hit one of the
bottles with his entrenching tool
handle and smash Ii, to give the I'M
preston that Alkali was a good shot.
Alkali Ike started I'm and aimed at
the right of the line OF bottles instead
of the left, and the poor boob behind
the scenes started breaking the bottles

was particuIs Irenu or theirs and
hoped that he was doing nicely.

When the Sax Ons were to be relieved ,
by Prussians or Bavarians, they would
yell this inform alton across No Mans
Land and Tommy would Immediately
tumble into his trench and keep his
head down.
If an English regiment was to be re-
lieved by the wild Irish, Tommy would
tell the Saxons, and Immediately "a vol
ley of "Donner und Blitzens" could
be heard and II was Fritz's turn to get
n crick In his back from STOPPING, and
the people In Berlin would close their
windows.
Usually when nn Irishman takes over
a trench, just before stand down" in
the morAing, he sticks his rifle over
the top, aimed in the direction of Ber-
lin, and engages ih what is known as
the mad minute" This consists of
firing fifteen shots in minute. He
is not aiming at an. thing in particular
just sends over each shot with a
prayer, hoping that one Of his strays

hind the lines. 1t generally does; that's
from Erin's isle.
The Saxons, though better than the
Prussians and Bavarians, have nasty
tsait of treachery In their makeup.
At one point Of the line where the
trenches '7ere very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. AT night when
1t was his turn, Tommy woeld crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to 1t, while at the foot he would
place tins of bully beet, fags, sweets,
and other delicacies that he had re-
ceived from Blighty In the ever looked
for parcel. Later on Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would go out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted Of a
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars. and occasionally a little beer,

One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate, and
had an awful job to break In one of
the Tommies to act and talk like a
woman.
Another character was Alkali Ike, an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks it with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before L thought 1t advisable to pre-
sent the sketch to the public.
The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Friday
night and everyone was full of antici-
patton; when bang! orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding was the order of things upon
the receipt of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little vii
lage of s. and again went into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for
suitable place in which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already eStab-
lished in the village. They called
