Toul last night No wind was blow
ing and the fumes of mustard gas
from the shells hung low over the
lines for several hours. The batteries
firing the shells were located to the
right Of Richecourt and our artillery
was busy all morning with a retailia-
tory shelling.
The town shelled in the gas attack
contained certain number Of Ameri-
cans our artillery today dropped a
number Of large shells into Joli wood
and after firing few minutes secured
direct hits on the target causing a
tremendous explosion followed by
dense columns of smoke as a big
enemy munitions camp blew up. The
first explosion was followed by two
others less. severe. Our shells also
made direct hits in the enemy's first
and, third line trenches. Z,

CHAPTER XII.

and opened the first of his saloons. The
night hs held his opening a crowd OF
thousands gathered around tho place
Police we're called to open q path for
traffic. but they wers totally unable.
Sullivan showed here fer the frst
time that. in his condition then. hs was
absolutely unfit for business. He was
too good a customer at his own bar. and
the saloon business soon was over.
Sullivan closed the place after several
months try at it. But. in that tins. he
had lost thousands OF dollars.
Back to the lighting game he went.
but this time under the management or
Al Smith. who seized on Sullivan &
successes and took him for a tour or the
country. Smith offered = sum OF money

champion for four rounds Reports have
placed il at varying amounts, but It IS
mostly like that it vas 500 Records
have little 10 do with this trip. for they
take in only some important bouts that
the champion engaged in. He was
drinking heavily at this time. Many
times he went on when ne really was
much the worse for liquor, and how he
escaped defeat in some OF his mills Is
stiu a mystery to close friends. His
iron determination and marvellous physl-
que. however. pulled him through.
II has been stated many times that
Sullivan paid his opponents on this trip
70 90 out quickly-or rather that Sulll-
vans handlers paid them. but this
charge never has bean proved. and il
most unlikely for Sullivan Vas fully
