battery D. 305th field artillery, Of the
| nth division. On Sept. 10, which by
supersttious people would seem to be a
very unlueky day TO enter into warfare,
Private Gale took his first lesson in
actual warfare with the artillery, which
for two months, except for two days,
was sending unweleome messages. her
aiding death TO the Huns. He narrowly
escaped death several times and two in
stances stand out prominently In his
/ little record book. He, together with a
second lieutenant, was walking along
in the vicinity Of Labasse France, when
he heard the whizzing OF German rs
shell. He dropped to the ground in time
TO avert an injury. but his comrade was
seriously injured by the impact Of the
piece Of steel which struck his helmet,
penetrating it slightly and intlieting a
bad wound. Another time he together
with several other comrades, entered an
old house to have lunch and built q
FIRE to warm the can Of beans carried by
him. Realizing that the smoke would
attract the attention Of the enemy they
escaped just in time to get away to a
safe distance and turned to see parts of
two shells drop through the roof Of the
abandoned dwelling place. IL was at
Labasse that he witnessed Commute
aerial battle between an American and
German machine The two machines
turned many times in id.air, but a
liquid fire ball from the Americans air
craft gun settled all dispute when it
penetrated the gas tank Of his rival and
demolished the machine completely, kill
ing the daring pilot On the 10th of No.
vember Private Gale was transferred to
the I'd ammunition train of the I'd divi.
sion that has for the past eight months
been stationed in Neiderbeider, Germany

on the y. s. S. Finland After visiting
with his relatives in Norwich, Conn, he
together with his grandfather, Nelson
Wheat, made the last long lap Of the
homeward journey.
