RED CROSS EXPECTING GOODS

- Up Peter Fxfe. Chairman.
The daily Alaskan., 1918-01-24

when the morning came the ''uead ground" between the two lines Of trenches was a grewsOme looking place During the day the Germans bom- barded our first and second line trench es with high explosives and schrapnel all day, and at night they resumed their infantry attack on our position. Day after day and night after night the battle continued until we all felt dead and numb all over.
 Sometimes the Germans would pen citrate our lines for few yards, and then we would immediately counter before they had chance to strengthen their position. We lost an awful lot or men, but even though don't know the exact figures l know l am safe In say ing that the German losses were more than double what ours were.
 We dispatch riders were certainly kept busy during this time. Our work was to be standing by every minute or the day and night, and the moment we were wanted to sling the dispatch case over our shoulder and get away for the headquarters to the rear.
 The riding at night was terrible. The Germans were smelling all the roads in the vicinity, and we had to go dashing along through the inky blackness at breakneck pace. It was impossible to see more than a yard or two ahead, and so it was a case of ride like tho dickens and trust to luck. The road was covered with shell holes, and the first intimation we would get of the fact was when We would feel the mo- torbike drop beneath us and feel our selves shooting through the air like amateur skyrOckets.
 We would pick ourselves up, drag the motorbike out of the hole and, if 1t would still run, jump on 1t and get away again. We certainly got some terrible spills, and there were good many who got broken bones and few who had their necks and backs broken.
 Imagination cannot conceive of our

utter misery. Everywhere 1ooKeu Er all hours of the day and night 1t was just nightmare. Most of the time we were kept too busy to sleep, and we would be so tired we could hardly move. The constant din of the guns Of all sizes and of the exploding shells was enough to drive nearly all of us insane.
 Perhaps this little incident will show what condition our nerves were in. 4 young fellow named Lewis and l had chummed together for the time being, | and We rode the same route during the entire battle. One night he came down to headquarters just ahead of me, and, | I assure you, we came through some mighty hot territory. l was In awful condition myself, but think he was even worse.
 I handed my case in, and while l was waiting for orders l went out to the petrol stores to fill up the tank on my bike. Lewis was talking to the officer in charge of the riders and was stand ing with his back to the door. Another fellow came in carrying two empty petrol tins, and-unintentionally, of course-he dropped them just behind Lewis. They made quite racket, and, coming so suddenly. Lewis jumped | over a table and fainted dead away.
 We were all in about the same condi- ton, and 1t didn't take much to get rise out of us. Poor Lewis was killed the next night by falling into a shell hole.

me suddenly that it was the gas. The officer who had left few minutes be fore pokcd him head down and shouted Run like h: it's the gas.''
 By this time 1 could hardly sec, and I was doing some tall old scramhhng to get out of that place. l would hold my breath as long as l could, and then I'd take another breath through my khaki handkerchief. N'Een l got out side l found that everything was GOV cred with prceuish yellow haze, and couldn't see three feet in front of me
 I ran in the direction of the place l had left my lar, and str1ck 1t the first shot. Perhaps 1 wasn't thankful had left the engine running! l jump ed in and started down that road for all l was worth, and before had gone 100 wards l was off the road and stuck in a plowed field. I was clear of the gas. though, and that was all l cared about.
 I waited there for two hours before any one appeared, and when fatigue party finally came along the road had them help me get the car out, They got eight horses, and we hitched them on to the back. l raced my machine, and the horses pulled, and after half an hours work the car was back on the road again.
 No sooner had they gone than my officer showed up safe and sound and we started back for camp.
 It was a terrible experience, and we were absolutely helpless, as We had not been furnished with the respirators and gas helmets at that time. We se- cured these things soon after, but all the time I had mine never saw an' other sign of gas.
 I found out afterward that those two officers who had been in the dugout were both killed by the gas.
 The officer who was with me at the time of the gas attack was one of the

most reinarkabTe men-T ever met Tor several years before the war he had been in the British secret service In Germany, so he spoke German almost as well as he did English. ........
 One day we stopped at a hospital In Bailleul, and one of the orderlies told us that there were some German wounded there. The officer asked me if would like to go in and see them. I said would like 1t very much, so We went In. There was one poor devil all by himself among some English pa tients. The officer went over and sat on the edge of his bed and began to talk to him.
 If you could have seen that poor fel- lows face when he heard himself ad- dressed in his own language! His whole cOuntenance lighted up, and he began to talk. Pretty soon the tears began to run down bis cheeks, and l felt awfully sorry for the poor chap, who was away from all his own peo. pie, severely wounded.
 He said that he had just been mar ried before the beginning of the war, and he and his wife had saved all they could, and two days before he was called up they had bought a COW. He was as worried as he could be for fear something had happened to the COW.
 
 The bombardment of Ypres began the night of the April day we experienced the gas. and with the bombardment be- gan the infantry attack. was up at a little place called Rheninghlest, and l could hear the rifles and machine guns at 1t for all they were worth. was thanking my lucky stars that was on my car instead of a motorcycle ma chine gun. when an orderly rode up and told me that l was to report at head quarters at once.
 All the way back to camp had the feeling that something was going to happen, and when 1 arrived there l was told to report myself to the signal company for duty with my motorcycle Then I knew that was to carry dis. patches through the coming battle.
 I wish to make particular note of the fact that at the beginning of this bat. tie, which lasted three weeks, we dis patch riders numbered thirty-one In all for our corps. Half an hour later we were fully equipped and on our way to the advanced report center, which would be the scene of our activities until the fight was over.
 We were about 500 yards to the rear ,f the first line of trenches and were given an old barn to ourselves, and we laid out our blankets and made our beds, for 1t was 10:90 o'clock. The at tack was increasing in fury, all kinds of shells landing around us, and the Germans were using their same old tactics of hurling great masses or troops against our position.
 Our machine guns gave the usual good account of themselves, and the German dead were piled up over our wire entanglements In great heaps. The Germans would fall back, reform and come on again ill their usual close formation. So 1t went all night, and
