we would move out, in grumbling
about chow, and in playing hide
and seek with our little visitors of
the dugouts. Lonesome We new
er had time to think of such a
thing Rats kept US company by
day and night. Where they all
came from was a mystery we
could not fathom. What they
lived upon was another puzzle.
Anyhow, they were there when
we moved in and more were there
when we moved out. There were
little rats, middle sized rats and
big rats. There were grandmoth-
er and grandfather, father and
mother, son and daughter. They
played around you by day and
played over you by night. A
very common occurrence was to
go to sleep and be rudely walked
by big fellow running across
Your face with his hob nailed
shoes. Shake your .h,nket and
two or three more would scamper
off your bunk. Is it any wonder
that most soldiers became fluent
in the use of cuss words? Three
of them evidently of the same
family, we learned to know quite
well. Each night they would
come out to see us, would march
across the floor in a very stately
manner, and take position on the
foot of some bunk where they
would blink at us in the candle
light and evidently try to ask
from where we came. Their color
and markings were peculiar, and
we soon began to watch for them
each evening. The big papa fell
low we named THE KAISER, the
medium sized one Catherine
and the little shy one ''The Crown
Prince. "
Out in the open around our po-
sition, the field mice had absolute
ly bored into every foot of earth.
There were thousands and thou
sands OF them to the square acre.
And, strangest OF all, house cats
OF every age, color and descrip-
ton were roaming all through the
woods and proving through cv-
cry dugout. 1t was strange
combination. The rats and nice
seemed not 10 fear the cats, and
the cats seemed to have no desire
to modest the smaller inhabitants.
Then the coolies came ON the
scene Of action and all other
troubles were forgotten. They
were great travellers, those eco
feet when walking. We scratch

and in the middle of night. We
would swap time scratching, that

ready for that for months. We
cit that something was wrong
somewhere, that somebody had
iorgotten all about us.
An occasional air plane fight
over our heads afforded Us some
diversion, and the tat, tat,tat of
The machine guns given way up in
the air never failed to draw ou
lttention or awaken our interest
It thrilledus to watch the human
)irds maneuvering againstone an
other, and We often thought they
must be the only ones who were
getting any excitement out of tn IS
var One day, when two enemy
Squadrons met some distance
away from US, We saw a plane
shot down. First it wobbled
Then it righted itself and dived
around as if deciding what to do
Then it righted itself and dived
toward earth in wide spiral cir
cles. a burst of flame and puff
of smoke followed the explosion
of the gas tank. The tail of the
plane flew off and the body came
swiftly down, tumbling over and
over as it fell. We watched il
with drawn breath as it passed
rom sight behind the mountain
to our left.
That same afternoon another
remarkable incident happened in
full view of us. Look yonder
said one Of the fellows as he point
ed excitedly toward one of our
observation balloons which had
been up all day. A Boche plane
was seen streaking across the
heavens from above and straight
toward it. The balloon began
hastily to descend and machine
guns on the ground opened up on
the plane. Just when it seemed
the plane would collide with the
balloon, jerry changed his course
to the horizontal, fired the inflam-
able bullet into the big gas bag
and fled toward his lines with al
lied planes closing in ON him from
all sides. The observers in the
basket of the balloon jumped.
For a minute they dropped like d
bullet Then the parachutes open
ed, checked their rapid descent.
md they glided slowly to earth.
The big balloon quivered a mo-
ment. a streak of flame burst from
he bag, a rush Of black smoke
and big flames followed, the bal
loon collapsed and fell swiftly to
the ground.
