I immediately volunteered for this job. and shook hands with Atweli, ana went 10 me rear to give my name to the officers in charge of the raiding party.
 was accepted, worse luck.
 At 9:45 that night we reported to the brigade headquarters dugout to receive instructions from Old Pepper.
 After reaching this dugout we lined up in semicircle around him, amt he addressed us as follows:
 "All want you boys to do Is to ga over to the German lines tonight, sur prise them. secure a couple of prison CTS, and return immediately. Our ar- tillery has bombarded that section of the line for two days and personally believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied. so just get cou- pie of prisoners and return as quickly as possible"
 The sergeant on my right. in an un- dertone, whispered to me:
 Say. Yank. how are we going to get couple of prisoners If the old fool thinks personally that that part of the trench Is unoccupied, ,'--sounds kind of fishy, doesn't 1t mater
 had a funny sinking sensation in my stomach. and my tn hat felt as if it weighed about a ton and my enthusi- asm was melting away. Old Pepper must have heard the sergeant speak because he turned in his direction and in laundering voice asked:
 ''What did you sayf'
 The sergeant with scarlet look on his face and his knees trembling. smartly saluted and answered.:
 Nothing, sir"
 Old Pepper said:
 Well, don't say it so loudly the next time"
 Then Old Pepper continued:
 "In this section of the German trenches there are two or three ma chine guns which our artillery. in the last two or three days, has been un- able to tape. These guns command tine sector where two of our communica- ton trenches join the front line, and us the brigade is to go over the top to- morrow morning want to capture two or three men from these guns crews, and from them I may be able to obtain valuable information as to the exact location of the guns. and our artillery will therefore be able to demolish them before the attack. and thus prevent our losing lot Of men while using these communication trenches to bring up re-enforcements."
 These were the instructions he gave us:
 "Take off your identification disks. strip your uniforms of all numerals. insignia. etc, leave your papers with your captains, because don't want ths Boches to know whnt regiments are against them as this would be valuable information to them in our attack to- morrow and I don't want any of you to he taken alive.

 It is still a mystery to me how they obtained this knowledge. There had been no raids or prisoners taken, so IL must have been the work of spies In our own lines.
 Three or four days before the big push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves py feint attacks, and partially sue. ceeded as the official reports of July l show.
 Although we were constantly bonn oarding their lines day and night, still we fooled the Germans several times. This was accomplished by throwing an Intense barrage into his lines then using smoke shells we would put curtain of white smoke across No Mans Land, completely obstructlng "s view Of our trenches, and would raise our curtain of fire ss If In an actual attack. All sown our trenches the men would shout and cheer. and Fritz would turn "ose with machlne-gun, rife, and Shrapnel fire, thinking we were com ing over.

TRAGEDY of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, 1t
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction Of war. But
there remained one-the tragedy OF
the trees-says a writer In McClure's
Magazine. You can rebuild houses
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards of fruit trees and avenues or
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled branches OF brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that when the
warm spring came, some of these or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died-bloomed
once again for France.
