line came a cheer and our boys CAM
over the top in a charge. The first
wave was cOmpo Sed Of Jocks They
were magnificent sight, kits, Tapping
in the wind, bare knees showing, and
their bayonets slistening. In the first
wave that passed my shell hole, one OF
the COCKS" an immense fellow, about
six feet two inches in height jumped
right over me. On the right and left
of me several soldiers in colored kits
were huddled on the ground, then over
came the second wave, also Jocks"
One young Scottie, when he came
abreast of my sb ell hole, leaped into
the air, his rife shooting out Of his
hands, landing about SIX feet in front
of him. bayonet first, and stuck in the
ground, the butt trembling. This i'm
pressed me greatly.
Right now can see the butt Of that
gun trembling. The Scottie made a
complete turn in the air, hit the
ground, rolling over twice, each time
clawins at the earth, and then re-
mained still, about four feet from me,
in sort of sitting position. l called to
him, care you hurt badly, Jock?' but
no answer. He was dead. A dH,'z red
smudge was coming through his tunic
right under the heart. The blood ran
down his bare knees, making a horrible
sight. On his right side he carried his
water bottle. I was crazy for drink
and tried to reach this, but for the life
of me could not negotiate that four
feet. Then I became unconscious.
When 1 woke up I was in an advanced
first-aid post. I asked the doctor if
we had taken the trench. eve took
the trench and the wood beyond, all
right" he said, "and you fellows did
your bit; but, my lad, that was thirty
six hours ago. You were lying in No
Mans Land in that bally hole for day
and half. It's wonder you are alive"

and I was severely wounded, but one
fellow returned without scratch, with
out any prisoners. No doubt this chap
was the one who had sneezed and i'm
properly cut the barbed wire.
In the official communiqre our trench
raid was described as follows:
Gall quiet on the western front, ex-
cepting in the neighborhood of Com
mecourt wood, where one of our raid
ing parties penetrated into the German
lines"
It is needless to say that we had ro
use for our perSuaders Or come-alongs,
as we brought back no prisoners. and
until I die Old Peppers words, per
sonally l don't believe that that part
of the German trench is occupied" will

They came over and besieged ma
with questions, until the doctor az
rived. Upon learning that I was an
American he almost crushed my hand
in his grip Of welcome. They also
were Americans, and were glad to see
me.
The doctor very tenderly removes
my bandages and told me, after view

take me to the operating theater I'M

what was done with me.

Gov. Tom c. Rye closed his cam
paign for United States senator here
Wednesday night. He was greeted by
splendid audience and the closest
attention was given him throughout
his address. He showed up Shields
record and his alliance with Stahlman
in a way which satisfied those who
heard him why the Senator failed to
receive the Presidents endorsement
for reelection. He also showed how
Shields, through his political hench-
men, had been pushing his campaign
for reelection for more than year
while all the time urging that "poli-
tics be adjourned" Gov. Rye's
speech was eloquent and patriotic
throughout and brought forth much
applause. The Governor was intro
duced by B. L. Capell, who spoke elo-
quently of his brilliant record as At
torney-General and of his splendid,
wise and faithful administration as
governor. The governor has a large
circle Of friends and admirers here and
is always greeted with great enthusi-
asm.
