minutes the wireless men had aero
plane signals out and then A bat
terry let loose as fast as her guns
could be wheeled into position and
laid.
& battery's guns appeared at last
and were soon in position and with
q report like single shot the four
guns of the crack battery of the
regiment began the knell of Kaiser
Williams empire. The fire was
brisk for some time but altogether
of heavy guns apparently. No real
barrage of light guns was heard.
The ISIS were busy but the noise of
our own guns in a narrow valley
drowned out the lighter reports.
Presently the ammunition from the
caissOns $50 rounds per gum was
exhausted and our fire ceased, but
OppOrtunely trucks Immediately ar
rived with a fresh supply and firing
began again, but almost immediate
ly ceased and word was received
that the Germans had retired out OF
range.
Orders were given to timber up
and prepare to follow. Already light
guns were going forward at trot
and observation balloons appeared
far ahead of their old positions and
yet it was very short time since
the first shot was freq. As for the
Germans they fired only three
shells near enough to be heard. l
saw two explode across the valley
and heard another. Presently they
fired few shots at an advancing
balloon.
But now there came back more
tangible evidence of war The road
was presently half blocked with
prisoners coming back and local
aid station was filled with wounded.

July 23rd Still in same position.
Some barraging last night and this
morning. Went on the hill with
instrument sergeant to see the bat
tie. The Germans fired at us, shells
bursting so close that dirt blew over
us. Unable to keep away from
them, so came back. Not much to
be seen anyway. Got back and
found Baldwin had been wounded
by a splinter. A few minutes later
a D battery man was taking apart
a German fuse. 1t exploded. Don't
think he can live. Hands and one
leg gone.
July oath. We were in the midst
of shell fire yesterday. Splinters
flew around but were ordered to
keep under cover. No one hit and
no direct hits on battery. Went out
and helped bury some Americans
and one German, dead for days,
one sergeant, one corporal, four pri-
Yates, and one German. A bad job,
but it makes the battery smell bet
ter. The men were from the 18th
Infantry, CO. b. V. c. Funny thing
we consider infantry dangerous.
They don't like artillery. An infan-
tryman went fiat on his belly when
our own guns fired and when the
Germans put over big ones he de-
sired to depart. TOO hot for me-"
he said. Til take little ones and
shrapnel in trench. No cover here"
We are to leave tonight. Well, it
has been an experience and we have
been very lucky, but luck" is.our
middle name. A less lucky outfit
would have been shot up long ago.
Any how we haven't shot much the
last day or two, but we couldn't re-
main here long without being dis
covered. A short change in range
or DETECTION of the German guns
would have blown us up yesterday.

pretty heavily, three guns ruined
and many men casualties.
During the scissors drive kept a
diary. I'll copy it and send it home.
Maybe it will be interesting. 1t was
written on the battlefield and is
especially interesting because here
was where the Germans were finally
turned back. C battery had but
one serious casualty during the

well up all the time. Starting with

Lillian Gish as a Child I'm "Broken
IpIOSSOms.o

Miss Lillian Gish has again proved
her remarkable talent as screen act
ress In her performance of Lucy, the
child in Broken Blossoms" d. w.
Griffith's art sensation, soon to be
shown at the Opera House. In Thomas
Burke's story, "The Chink and the
Child taken from 'Limehouse
Nights" Lucy, the daughter of ''Bat-
Ting Burrows" is supposed to be 12
years old, but with the license Of the
artistic producer, Mr.. Griffith took the
liberty of adding three years to her
age
Few who see her performances as
Lucy VIII forget that tragic moment
when at her bullying fathers com
mand she tries TO push her wan lips
into the semblance OF smile. Mr.
Griffith declares that this was a purely
involuntary piece Of acting; for when
during the photography of the first
scene Of cruelty between her father
and herself and she was all in very
real tears, he suggested as director,
that She smile through her tears.
She was SO wrought up over the
scene, that she tried to smile, but
could not, and then, quite naturally
and without thought Of artificc, she,
with trembling fingers tried to push
up the corners of her lips. 1t was so
pathetic and human gesture that Mr..
Griffith at once realized its value and
il remains one Of the striking notes
Of the performance Of this moving
tale Of loves and lovers"
