death watch, with the shells tuning
up for the airsc K was impossible to
listen to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length of
time IT would split your eardrums, i
am sure. So all we could do was to
lay low In the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
us, and one of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean off
his shoulders, and the rest OF him
landed neal my feet and squirmed a
little, like a chicken that had just been
without ANY head move around that
way, and we could hardly make our
selves touch 1t for some time. Then
we rolled 1t to the other side of the
hole.
Then. to one side OF us, there was
a more violent explosion than any yet.
The earth spouted up and fell on us,
and big clouds of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One of III ~sergeants, from the regular
French infantry, said 1t was q shell
from a Turkish 155-mm. howitzer.
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke
people who think Pittsburgh is
smoky ought 70 see about fifty Of those
big howitzer shells bursting, one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest of
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire, but we felt
sure they were not having any worse
time than we were. In a few minutes
we heard the good old "75s" start
pounding, ard it was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone,
and everybody In u shell hole
cheered, though no one could hear us
and we could barely hear each other.
Still we knew that If the "T5s. got
going In their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two, and
that looked good to us. The "75s'

ready about as bad as it could be,
and a thousand guns more or less
would not have made 1t any harder
to stand.
One Of our men shouted In the ser
geant's ear that the men In line ahead
Of us and to the right were trying to
| give us a message of some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had q look. But ] stayed
where I was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too, as far as
was concerned.
He shouted at us that the men In
the other trench were trying to signal
something. but he could not make II
ont because the clouds of smoke world
roll between them and break up the
words. So he laid down again In the
bottom Of the hole. But after a while
he looked over the parapet and saw
a man just leaving their trench, evi.

had not gone five steps before he was
blown 10 pieces, and the lad who fol

The man war 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 a few words
very fast, 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 RAJ
senior to himself and therefore In
command and would have to be obeyed.
He seemed to cheer up a lot after
he said this and did not SILVER any
more, so / thought / would volunteer

I thought he was kidding me at first,

two things about it--onc was that any

and the other was that the old dugout

/ did not say anything to the SER

out of the dugout. The sergeant and
another man went with me and boost
ed me over the back wall Of the hole.

On the wall behind the throne was a
gigantic gold sun whose golden rays
extended in every direction. The
throne seemed to spring from the SUMS
center. 1t made a fitting background
for a car.
The personal suite of the recent car
was not visible. Most of his furniture
had been sent to him at Tobolsk. But
we saw the c~zarevitch's apartments.
This was a palace In itself. There was
something uneanny about the place.
The rooms were still warm. An elder
down puff lay ready on the royal bed.
the clock on the mantel still licked.
Everything seemed ready for the young
masters return. One felt each moment
there would be a blare of trumpets and
the royal party would enter. We ask
ed the old servant If he liked the royal
family. "Yes," he said, "they were
good to me. They were kind employ
ers. / have nothing against them"
Before we left we passed the main
entrance to the palace. A great mar
BILE staircase led from the front door
to the main upper hall.
Directly at the head Of the stairs,
facing all who entered, was a huge oil
painting of the cars grandfather, adj
dressing the peasants. In proud and
arrogant splendor he stood there, while
before him, bowling low, cringed the
peasants, hats inLand, and underneath
the picture were written the words OF
this former car, II am glad to see
you. / thank you for your courtesy.
When you return home thank my peo-
pie for me, but tell them not to believe
any stupid rumors about the distribu-
ton of land andthe giving of 1t to the
peasants. These rumors are lies,
spread by our enemies. Property is

mighty swing Of life's pendulum the

gentlemen Of the old school-one old

This corner Of the porch was COM
monty known to the hotel guests as
the "Watterson-Riley corner" The
friendship between Marse henry Wat
terson and James Whitconb Riley was
based upon appreciation Of one genius
for another.
If one had ventured near enough
to these two he could have heard Mr..
Riley reciting his poems over many
times to Colonel Watterson. Colonel
Watterson would ask Mr.. Riley to re
cite "Granny's Come to Our House to

when / reached what had been the
communication trench I felt I had
done the worst part of 1t, and I began
to wish very hard that I would ret

going west.
The mouth of the communication
trench had been battered In and the
trenches 1t Joined with were all filed
up. There were rifles sticking out
of them in several places, and /
thought probably the men had been
buried alive In them. But 1t was too
late then, If they had been caught, so
I climbed v the blocked entrance to
the communication trench and started
back along it. 1t led up Though a sort
Of gully, and I thought 1t was a bad
place to dig a communication trench
in, because 1t gave the Turks some
thing like the side of hill to shoot at.
Every nee In a while ! would have

and parts OF them were blocked where
Q shell had caved In the walls. In one
place / saw corpses all torn to pieces,
so ! knew the Turks had found the
range and had got to this trench In
great shape. At another place / found
lots Of blood and equipment but no
bodies, and I figured that reinforce
ments had been caught at this spot
and that they had retired. taking their
casualties with them.
The Turks still had the range, and
they were sending q shell into the
t.ench every once In a while, and ]
was Knocked down again. though the
shell was SO far AWAY that it knocked
me down with force of habit more
than anything else. I felt dizzy and
shivered a lot. and kept trying to think
Of Murray or anything else but myself.
So finally I got to the top OF the
little hill over which the gully ran,
and ON the other side / felt almost
safe. Just down frrsn the crest Of the
hill was one Of u artillery positions,
