The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1918-04-05

hrayer, hoping that one Of his st-ays
will get some poor un>ESpecting Fritz
in the napper hundreds of yards be-
hind the lines. 1t generally does; that s
the reason the BOclles hate the man
from Erin'S isle.
The SaXonS, though better than the
Prussians and BavarianS, have Il nasty
trait of treachery in their makeup.
At one point of the line where the
trenches '-ere very close, stake was
driven into the ground midway be-
tween the hostile lines. At night when
1t was his turn, Tommy would crawl
to this stake and attach some London
papers to it, while at the foot he would
place tins of bully beet, fags, sweets
and other delicacies that he had re-
cejved from Blighty in the ever looked
for parcel. Later On Fritz would come
out and get these luxuries.
The next night Tommy would 60 out
to see what Fritz put into his stocking.
The donation generally consisted OF
paper from Berlin, telling who was
winning the war, some timed sausages,
cigars, and occasionally little beer,
but q funny thing, Tommy never re-
turned with the beer unless it was in
side of him. His platoon got whiff of
his breath one night and the offending
Tommy lost his job.
One night a young English sergeant
crawled to the stake and as he tried TO
detach the German paper bomb e1-
ploded and mangled him horribly. Fritz
had set trap and gained another vic
tim which was only one more black
mark against him in the book Of this
war. From that time on diplomatic re-
lations were severed.
Returning to Tommy, think his
spirit is best shown in the questions he
asks. 1t is never "who is going to win"
but always "how long will it take?"

cross in some she?l-;ossed tielG with
tears in his eyes as he reads Iii" in
ScrptiOn. And little later perhaps
bend over wounded man on stretch
er, patting him on the head.
More than once in hospital l have
seen titled Red Cross nurse fetching
and carrying for wounded soldier,
perhaps the one who in civil life de-
livered the coal at her back door. To
day she does not shrink from lighting
his fag or even washing his grimy
body.
Tommy admires Albert Of Belgium be-
cause he is not pusher of men; he
leads them. With him it's not a case
of take that trench" it is "come on

1t is amusing to notice the different
characteristics of the Irish, Scotch and
English soldiers. The Irish and Scotch
are very impetuous, especially when 1t
comes to bayonet fighting, while the
Englishman. though a trifie slower,
thoroughly does his bit; he is more
'methodical and has the grip Of bull
dog on captured position. He IS
slower to think; that is the reason why
he never knows when he is licked.
Twenty minutes before going over
the top the English Tommy will sit on
the fire step and thoroughly examine
the mechanism Of his rife to see that 1t
is in working order and will fire prop
erly. After this examination he is sat
ished and ready to meet the Boches.
But the Irishman or Scotchman sits

fixed between his knees, the butt OF

CHAPTER XIX.
On His Own.

On HIS own.
OF course Tommy cannot always be
producing plays under fire but while
in rest billets he has numerous other
ways Of amusing himself. He is q
great gambler, but never plays for
large stakes. Generally, in each COM
pany, you will find regular Garfield.
This man banks nearly all the games
Of chance and is an undisputed author
ity on the rules Of gambling. When
ever there is an argument among the
Tommies about some uncertain point
as to whether Houghton is entitled to
Watkins sixpenee, the matter is taken
to the recognized authority and his de-
cision Is final.
The two most popular games are
'Crown and Anchor" arr House"
The paraphernalia used in Grown
and Anchor" consists Of a piece Of can
vas two feet by three feet. This is
divided into six equal squares. In these
squares are painted club, diamond,
heart, spade, crown. and an anchor,
one device to q square. There are
three dice used, each dice marked the
same as the canvas. The banker sets
up his gambling outfit in the corner OF
o billet and starts bally-hooing until
crowd of Tommies gathers around ;
then the game starts.
The Tommies place bets on the
onohnp hoinv
played the most. The banker then
rolls his three dice and collects or pays
out as the case may be. II you play
the crown and one shows up on the
dice, you get even money, If two show
up, you receive two to one, and If three,
three to one. II the crown does not ap-
pear and you have bet on it. You lose,
and so on. The percentage for the
banker is large If every square Is
played, but il the crowd is partial to.
say two squares, he has to trust to
luck. The banker generally wins.
The game of House" is very popular
also. 1t takes two men to run it. This
game consists of numerous squares Of
cardboard containing three rows Of
numbers, five numbers to row. The
numbers run from one to ninety. Each
card has different combination.
The French "estaminefs" in the viii
lages are open from eleven in the mora
iag until one in the afternoon In &C
cordance with army orders.
After dinner the Tommies congre-
gate at these places to drink French
