Inc man was telling us that some
time before they had seen the Turks
bringing up ammunition from some
storehouses, but they did not come
anywhere near. He said their sergeant
wanted our messenger to tell them
that, too. He would say a few words
very fast, then he would shiver again,
and his jaws would clip together and
he would try to raise his hand, but
could not.
Then our sergeant asked the name
Of the other sergeant, and when the
man told him he said the man was
senior to himself and therefore in
command and would have to be obeyed.
He seemed to cheer up lot after
he said this and did not shiver any
more, so thought I would volunteer

The mouth of the communication

the artillery officers what had hap

up for the dirge. 1t was impossible to
listen to the shells. If you kept your
mind on the noise for any length of
time it would split your eardrums, l
am sure. So all we could do was to
lay low in the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
us, and one of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean off
his shoulders, and the rest of him
landed near my feet and squirmed a
little, like a chicken that had just been
killed. 1t was awful to see the body
without any head move around that
way, and we could hardly make our
selves touch it for some time. Then
we rolled it to the other side of the
| hole.
Then, to one side of us, there was
more violent explosion than any yet.
The earth spouted up and fell on US,
and big clouds of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One of our sergeants, from the regular
French infantry, said it was shell
from q Turkish 155-mm howitzer.
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke
people who think Pittsburgh is
smoky ought to see about fifty of those
big hOwitzer shells bursting, one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest Of
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire. but we felt
sure they were not having any worse
time than we were. In few minutes
we heard the good old "75s" start
pounding, and it was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone,
and everybody in our shell hole
cheered, though no one could hear us
and we could barely hear each other.
Still we knew that If the "75s'' got
tgofng IN their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two, and
that looked good to us. The "75s'
made the noise worse, but it was al.
ready about as bad as it could be
and a thousand guns more or less
would not have made it any harder
to stand.
One of our men shouted in the ser.
geants ear that the men in line ahead
of us and to the right were trying tc
give us a message of some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had look. But I stayed
where I was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too, as far as
was concerned.
He shouted at US that the men in
the other trench were trying to signal
something, but he could not make il
out because the clouds Of smoke woulC
roll between them and break up the
words. So he laid down again in the
bottom Of the hole. But after a while
he looked over the parapet and saw
a man just leaving their trench, evi
IDENTIFY with a message for US, and he
had not gone five steps before he was
blown to pieces, and the lad who fol
lowed him got his, too, so they stopped
trying then.
And all the time the "75s" were
sending theirs to the Turks not fal

Don't Swat All Flies,

MADISON. Wis, Sept. 6.-Not all

to c. l.. Fluke, entomologist at the

The surplus flies are marked with
black and yellow bands on the aldo
men but they neither sting or bite.
The adult lays eggs among the colon

hatch they feed upon the lice. But
for the flies, plant lice would destroy
