friendly with the men, and while
think they liked him they were so
tough they would never admit 1t, and
some Of them claimed he was a Jonah,
or jlnx, or bad luck Of some kind. But
they all told him their vows as soon
as they made them and he was sup
posed to be sort of referee as to
whether they kept them or not.
During my second stunt in the front
lines things got pretty bad. The Ger
mans were five to our one and they
kept pushing back parts Of tn, line
and cleaning out others. And the
weather was as bad as 1t could be
and the food did not always come reg
ularly. Now, before they took their
vows, every last man In the bunch
would have been kicking and growing
all the time, but, as 1t was, the only
time they grOwled was when the Ger
mans pushed us back.
Things kept getting worse and you
could see that the men talked to the
chaplain more and quite few of them
got real chummy with him.
One morning Fritz started in bright
and early to begin his strafe. The
lieutenant was walking up and down
the trench to see that the sentries

once heard Sir Henry relate a
story concerning a major who, sent to
inspect an outlying fort, found the
commander intoxicated. He immedi-
ately locked him up; but the bibulous
one managed to escape, and, making
his way to the nearest telegraph office,
dispatched the following message to
no less a parsonage than the Colonial
secretary: Man here named -
questions my sobriety. Wire to avert
bloodshed. Tit-Bits.

Job. A shell whizzed over his head
and landed just behind the parados
and the dirt spouted up like imagine
Yellowstone geyser looks.
Another officer came up to the lieu
tenant-a new one who had only
joined the company about week be-
fore. They had walked about ten
yards when another shell whizzed over
them. They laid to and third one
came. There were three In less than
five minutes. directly over their heads.
Then a shell landed on the left side
Of the trench and poilu yelled that
four men had got 1t. They were al,
wounded and three died later. The
lieutenant went over to them and Just
after he passed me lad got 1t square
not far from me and was knocked
over to where was lying.
The lieutenant came back and
helped me with the first-aid roll and
then the Germans began using shrap-
mel. The lieutenant was swearing
hard about the shrapnel and the Ger.
mans and everything else.
Farther to the right shell had just
struck near the parados and made q
big crater and across from It, against
the parapet, was a young chap With
| a deep cash In his head, sitting on
the Ore step and next to him fellow
nursing the place where his arm had
been blown of. Our bread ration lay
all about the trench and some Of the
| poilus were fishing 1t out of the mud
and water and wiping the biscuits Of
on their sleeves or eating as fast az
they could. Only some Of the biscuits
had fallen In bloody water and they
did not eat these.
A young fellow. hardly moro than q
boy, stumbled over the parados and
fell into the trench right near the
lieutenant and the lieutenant dressed
his wounds himself I think he wal

CHAPTER VI.
Fritz Does a Little "strafeins."


My outfit was one Of those that saw
the Germans place women and chill
dren in front Of them as shields
against our fire. More than third of
our men. I should say, had been pretty
tough criminals In their own countries.
They always traded their pay against
a handful Of cards or a roll of the
bones whenever they got a chance.
They had been in most Of the dirty
parts Of the world. This war was not
such much to them; just one more
Job in the list. They could call God
and the saints and the human body
more things than any boss stevedore
that ever lived.
Yet they were religious In way.
Some Of them were always reading
religious books or saying prayers in
different ways and between them they
believed In every religion and super
stition under the sun, I guess. Yet
they were the toughest bunch ever
saw.

the Belgian women the way they did

CHAPTER V-Continued.

I never saw battery better con-
eealed than this one. Up on the ground
you couldn't see the muzzle twenty
yards away-and that was all there
wss to see at any distance. There
was ruined garden just outside the
gun quarters, and while the gunners
were there picking apples there would
be a hiss and an explosion, and over
would go some Of the trees, or maybe
a man or two. but never shell struck
nsarer the guns than that. The poilus
used to thank Fritz for helping them
pick the apples, tecause the explosions
would bring them down I'm great style.
Just over the garden, too, making an
awful racket. But they we're not In 1t
Sith the "75's."
They gave me little practice with
a "75" under the direction of expert
French gunncrs before l went to my
14-inch naval gun. and, believe me. 1t
was a fine little piece. Just picture
10 ySurself a little beauty that can
send a 3S-pound shell every two Sec
ends for five miles and more, If you
want It to, and land on Fritz vest
button every time. There Is nothing
[ like better than gun, anyway, and
{ have never since been entirely salts
ded with anything less than "75."
As you probably know, the opposing
artillery In this war is SO widely sepa-
rated that the gunners never see their
targets unless these happen to be
buildings, and even then 1t Is rare. So,
since an artillery officer never sees the
enemy artillery or infantry, he must
depend on others to give him the range
and direction.
For this purpose there are balloons
and airplanes attached to each artil-
nry unit. The airplanes are equipped
with wireless, but also signal by
sDoke and direction Of flight, while
the balloons use telephones. The OBJ
servers have maps and powerful
glasses and cameras. Their maps are
marked Off In zones to correspond with
the maps used by the artillery officers.
The observations are signaled to a
receiving station on the ground and
are then telephoned to the batteries,

SHIP BUILDING UP
 ID EXPECTATIONS
STATEMENT OF CHIEF CON. STRUcToR THEODORE E. FER
 RIS OF SHIPPING BOARD.
CHANGES IN WOODEN SHIPS
Alteration in Designs, According To Ferris Had Delayed construeton- Thinks Poor Judgment Shown in
 Letting Too Many Contracts.

Washington.-A SLOW start made by the American International Corpora tion in construction of one of the gov. ernments fabricating steel ship yards at Hog Island, Pa, will make it almost impossible for the yard to deliver yes seis on schedule time, Theodore l.. Ferris, chief constructor for the ship ping board, told the Senate commerce committee Investigating the progress of ship building.
 Two other fabricating plans-one at Newark Bay and the other at Chester, Pa.9.should be able to produce ships as last as their contracts call for, Mir Ferris said. The ship building pro- gramme generally, he said, is proceed ing about as well as might have been expected. Delays in wooden construc- tion he blamed on shortage of the proper timber and on transportation.
 Ferris told of changes made in the design of the wooden ships which, it is charged, have caused delay, and de- clared they were made with his ap, proYal but not at his suggestion. He did not think they were necessary, he said, but he approved because of the demand from many quarters.
 The American International Corpo- ration's contracts call for the first de liveries in September, 191S The com pany will do well. MT. Ferris said, if 1t delivers any ships at ali during the year. Once it has got a start, how ever, ships will be produced rapidly.
 Ferris criticized the shipping boards decision to let contracts for fitting out wooden ships to a large number of concerns and declared that all should be fitted out with engines and other equipment at one or two places, each on the west coast, in the east and in the south That, he said, would speed up the work.
 Protiteering house builders seeking high rentals for homes in the neigh borhood of ship yards were denounced by Meyer Bloomfield, head of the ship ping boards industrial serv.ce section another witness. MT. Bloomfield said l that ship yard labor shortage could 1 be traced in large measure to poor housing facilities and lack of transpor l tatfon for workmen. He advised leg islation empowering the shipping board to commander housing and to enforce better train service.
