whole lot; but it can never be said
that the night dragged" along. 1t
bumped and ratified and roared and
! jumped like it was travelling down the
road at a ninety-tO-nothing gait.
And morning came along about the
usual time, and, since Fritz was evi-
IDENTIFY eating breakfast we dared en-
ter the little shack of a mess shed and
eat, too. And then we proceeded to
| the dump and dished out all kinds of
death-dealing junk designed to make
a good German out of a bad one. A
/ good German, you know, is one of the
kind with his toes pointing toward the
sky and a nice jagged hole in his he'll
met and an 'uninhabited" expression
on his face.
Until about noon Saturday, things
! proceeded i'm much the same manner,
/ with a marked decrease in the number
/ of hates coming over owing to the
! footrace which was taken place further
up the line If it is a disgrace to run
when you're scared, those Germans
/ sure are dsgraccd for life for many
a one yanked off his boots and headed
Rhineward hell bent for election"
Wouldn't Say IIitChed.
About noon word came that the am
munition dump would be moved fur
ther up. Now if those rascals had
stood hitched," it would have saved
us lots Of trouble, for we could have
amputated them from their longevity
| right there without the trouble of haul
ing ammunition further north, and
without all that unnecessary romping
around over the landscape But
probably wouldn't have had so much
Of a story to tell, and-there would
have been no King Dump
And about noon Captain Flag now
Major Flag came along In his Dodge
and picked me up and took me down
to Suippes, whore | was to show the
NJ. O. X. s. outfit Mobile Ordnance
Repair Shop the way up to where they
would once more be in touch with
things.
