Many Of our readers will re-
member a visit paid to New Ibe-
ria last winter by Mr.. Warren L.,
Bunger in behalf of the Young
Mems Christian Association. Mr..
Bunger has been with the Ex-
peditionary Forces in France for
some time and in letter to a
personal friend here had the fol-
lowing to say Of his experiences
In the war zone:
Il have been in the field about
two and a half months and find
the work here in the camps ST.
milar to that in the States with
of course such differences as one
would naturally expect in new
surroundings. While in the
camps in America we had large
groups in the cantonments. here
our men except those at the
front, are scattered in smalled
groups all over the country in
training camps. My work is IN
the Paris Division, including
troops in the city and within
forty or fifty miles of the city. It
has been my privilege to see my
son twice since coming to France.
As you have opportunity I wish
you would express my personal
appreciation Of the service and
gifts to the many friends I made
while in Louisiana

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of q neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing 90 destructive to
the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching Of tie scalp, which if
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and He-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-

your hair.

of it if you will just try little Dam

GERMANS MAKE DENT II
ALLIED LINES.

France. April 10.-The Messines
ridge and the Ploegsteert wood,
,, which last June were cleared Of
Germans by a spectacular coup,
again today were filled with
swirling masses of fiercely bat
thing troops as the result of a
new drive launched by the enemy
between Armentieres and Mes
slnes this morning.
For hours the German hordes
have been finging themselves
viciously against the defending
lines and by sheer weight Of num-
bers have forced their way for
ward at several points into the
British positions. Messines,
Ploegsteert and Niepp all had
come within the zone Of the bit
ter fighting during the forenoon
but. with the attacks and counter
attacks in progress the situation
was changing SO rapidly that it
was impossible to say at the time
of the filing Of this dispatch q
p. m. Wednesday, which way the
tide of conflict was flowing.
New Drive Continues.

there's was a continuation Of the
new phase Of the great offensives
which boiled up yesterday be-

should succeed Armentieres would

Germans well in on either side !

In the meantime fighting is still
proceeding at various points in

I used to talk to him quite often
after that We had no particular
love for each other, but he was gamer
than the other sentries, and he did not
call me schweinhund every time he saw
me, so we got on very well together.
His name must have been Schwartz. I
guess. but IL sounded like "Swatts" to
me, SO Swatts he was, and ! was
"Chink" to him, as everybody else
called me that.
One day he asked me II / could
speak French, and I said yes. Italian:
yes. Russian: yes. No matter what
language he might have mentioned 1
would have said yes, because l could
smell something In the wind, and I
was curious. Then he told me that II

there. l might get better meals and
would not have TO go so far for them.

ways toward getting the Job.

man for the place. because he ap-
pointed me to It then and there. He
put me to work right away. We went

CHAPTER XXI.
sThe Hall Hole Of GERMANY

1.-THE He'll Hole Of Germany
On arriving at Brandenburg WI were
marched the three or four miles north
west 70 the camp. While we were be-
ing marched through the streets a
walked alongside Of US for
quite a way, talking to the boys In
English and asking them about the
wal. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she was an Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break Of the war not being able to
get out Of Germany, she and her chill
dren had been put In prison and that
every day for over a week they had
put her through the third degree; that
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.
She walked along with us for several
blocks until a sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary to
the Germans and chased her away.
When We arrived at the camp we were
put into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition of
these barracks was not such that you
could describe 1t. The floors were ac-
tually nothing but filth. Very few of
the hunks remained the rest had been
torn down-for fuel. I suppose.
The day we were transferred to the
regular prison barracks four hundred
Russians and Belgians were buried.
Most of them had died from cholera.
typhoid and NEGOTIATIONS. We heard
from the prisoners there before us that
the Germans had come through the
camps with word that there was an
epidemic Of black typhus and cholera
and that the only thing for the men to
do was TO take the serum treatment to
avoid catching these diseases. Most of
the four hundred men had died from
the NEGOTIATIONS. They had taken the

A few days after this I was slow
again as we were marching to the
bread house and the guard at the door
tripped me. When / fell I hurt my
wounds. which made me hot. Now I
had decided. on thinking 1t over, that
the best thing TO do was to be good,
since l was expecting to be released.
and I thought It would be tough luck
to be killed Just before l was to be
released. But I had been In the Amer
lean navy and any garby OF the u. s. A.
would have done what / did. It must
be the training we get, for when a
dirty trick is pulled OF on us we get
very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So / went for the sentry and wal
loped him In the jaw. Then ! received
his bayonet through the feshy part OF
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were In the arm. But
those arms were In front of our faces
Mt the time. The sentries did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. A
wound of the kind I got would be moth
ing more than a white streak IL prop
erly attended TO. but I received abso-
iutely no attention for 1t and II was
a long time In healing. At that, / was
lucky; another bayonet stroke just
grazed my stomach.
I had been at Dulmen for three
weeks when we were transferred to
B~randenburg, Havel. which is known
as "the hell-hole Of Germany" to the
prisoners. 1t certainly Is not too
strong a name for II. either.
On tho way we changed trains at

Germans word. had been inoculated
and had died within nine hours. Which
shows how foolish II Is TO believe a
German. None Of US had any doubt
but what the serum was poisonous.
The second day that we were In the
regular camp the Germans strung
barbed wire all around our barracks.
They told US we had a case Of black
typhus among us. This was nothing
more o less than a blum, for not n
OF US had typhus. but they put up the
wire. nevertheless, and We were not
allowed TO go out.
One day when / was loaing around
our barracks door and not having any
thing particularly important to do, 1
packed a nice hard SNOWFALL and land
ed II neatly behind the ear of a little
sentry not far away. When he looked
around he did not blow his whistle but
began hunting for the thrower. This
was strange In a German sentry and l
thought he must be pretty good stun.
When he looked around. however, all
he saw was a man staggering around
as II he were drunk. The mar was
the n who had done the throwing. all
right. but the sentry could not be sure
Of II, for surely no man would stay
out In the open and invite accidents
like that. But still. who had done 1T
SO l just kept staggering around.
and the sentry came up to me and
looked me over pretty hard. Then I
thought for the first time that things
might go hard on me. but l figured
that If ! quit the play acting II would
be all over. So ! staggered right up
TO the sentry and looked at him drunk
emily. expecting every moment to get
M from the bayonet.
But he was so surprised that all he
could do was stare. So / stared back.
pretending that l saw two Of him. and
otherwise acting foolish. Then ! guess
he realized for the first time that the
chances Of anybody being drunk In
that camp were small-at least for the
prisoners. He was rubbing his ear
all the time. but finally the thought
