There were no sticks in the cavern

the river bottom outside.
/ Peggy and Billy didn't like the idea
of venturing from the shelter Of the
cave with the cann'hal fish prowling
about. but they knew if the owner of
the cave came back they would have
no way in which to fight him. So after
looking around very carefully and see
ing that the Cannibals were not in
sight they crept through the hole.
Peggy turned to take look at the
cave. and what she saw made her

spent four winters and had certainly
made themselves comfortable. Some of
them even boasted of running water, and
nearly all had electric lights.
Others were fitted up for kitchens,
hospitals. and writing rooms, or "foy =
er," as the French sign told us. Every =
thing was there to make this hillside
hotel for cave dwellcrs as comfortable
as possible. The men soon found homes
with the Poilus. and after living SO long
in the open on the march the little homes
with freplaces seemed very fine indeed.
Orders soon came around that the

explained. ''In fact, closer than such
large guns have ever been brought be-

the enemy should become aware of our
positions they could very easily blow
us to pieces with trench mortars." So
every one took especial care not to be
seen or heard. Although the telephone
lines were laid. all communication over
them was forbidden. unless French

might cut in on the line somewhere and
hear American voices.

TNHE camp site chosen at Senades was
= not Of the best. The weather was
rainy and the place muddy but it proved
great boon to the men, for it gave all
chance to thoroughly wash in the stream

flowing water in France. the river. That
term river. was always source Of
amusement, for the great and famous
Marne would not touch in size the
Schuylkill River. while the Neslc. be-
hind which the Germans made such
strong resistance. could not be called
larger than Darby Creek. Neverthe-
loss even these small streams were
serious difficulties in the way OF an
advancing army. for they must be cross =
ed. and guns and trucks can not swim.
The better part of the day at Senadps

PrepAing for the Big Push
Preparations Of an operation on
gigantic scale were in evidence on every
side. The roads were crowded with
traffic of all kinds. great naval guns
could be seen in the woods and steady
stream of men and guns were pouring in
at every highway-a great continuous
psrade, And furthermore. all this work,
it was discovered later. was done at
night, In the daytime the roads were

were allowed in the open. thus lncreas-

easy day was passed here. and then
after dark the guns moved forward to
take their position.
An excellent place was chosen just
back of the crest of hill well camou-
Aaged in the woods and with some old
dugouts conveniently near. The guns
were put into old gun pits built by
the French and preparations were well
under way when there came the usual
conflict of orders telling that this posi-
ton had already been assigned to the
French and that the battery must move.
Position was then taken on the crest
of Mont 10 Nillers. only about 900
meters behind the front line. The whole
regiment was stretched along a corduroy
road having n front for the twenty four
guns of about half mile. 4 narrow
gauge railroad ran by the guns and
greatly facilitated the Carrying of am
munition.
