think would get through. but finally,
when I reached what had been the
communication trench felt had
done the worst part of 1t, and I began
through-I was not at all crazy about
going west
The mouth Of the communication
trench had been battered in and the
trenches 1t Joined with were all filled
up. There were rifles sticking out
Of them In several places, and I
thought probably the men had been
buried alive in them. But 1t was too
late then, If they had been caught, 90
I climbed over the blocked entrance to
the communication trench and started
back along 1t. It led up through a sort
Of gully, and thought 1t was q bad
place to dig a communication trench
in. because 1t gave the Turks some
thing like the side Of hill to shoot at
Every once in a while I would have
to climb in and out of a shell hole,
and parts Of them were blocked where
a shell had caved in the walls. In one
place I saw corpses all torn to pieces,
so knew the Turks had found the
range and had got to this trench In
great shape. At another place found
lots of blood and equipment but NO
bodies, and I figured that reinforce
ments had been caught at this spot
and that they had retired. taking their
casualties with them.
The Turks still had the range, and
they were sending Q shell into the
trench every once In q while, and I
was knocked down again, though the
shell was 80 far away that It knocked
me down with force Of habit more
than anything else. I felt dizzy and
shivered lot, and kept trying to think
Of Murray or anything else but myself.
SO finally got to the top Of the
little hill over which the gully ran,
and on the other side felt almost
safe. Just down from the crest Of the
hill was one Of our artillery positions,
with the good old ''75s" giving II to the
Turks as fast a. they could. I told
the artillery omcers what had hap
pened, had q drink Of water and
thought would take nap. But when
they telephoned the message back to
division headquarters the man at the
receiver said something to the omesr
and he told me to stay there and b
ready. I thought sure he would ssnd

up for the dlrge. It was impossible to
listen to the shells. II you kept your
mind on the noise for any length Of
time It would split your eardrums,
am sure. So all we could do was to
lay low In tho shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
N, and one Of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean of
his shoulders, and the rest Of him
landed near my feet and sQuirmed a
little. Like q chicken that had Just been
killed. It 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
q 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 1t was a shell
from q Turkish 155-mm. how1tzer.
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 a 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 II the ''76s" got
going 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 1t was al
ready about as bad as 1t could be,
and q thousand guns more or less
would not have made It any harder
| to stand.
One Of our men shouted In the ser
geant's ear that the men in line ahead
of Us and to the right were trying to
give us a message Of some kind. The
| sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had a look. But stayed
where I was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too, az far a. I
was concerned.
He shouted at us that tho men in
the other trench were trying to signal
something. but he could Il, make 1t
out because the clouds of smoke would
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 1--WE steps before he was
blown to pieces, and the lad who fol-
lowed him got his. too. 90 they stopped
trying then.
And all the time the ''75s" were
sending theirs to the Turks not far
over our heads to 900 yards behind

CHAPTER KILL Continued.

OomdnG back along the same road we
halted d lot another convoy Of mules
go past, and an officer Of the Royal
naval division came up and began
talking to our officers. He was telling
them how he and his men had landed
at x" beach, and how they had to
wade ashore through barbed wire.
And. you know" he said in q sur
peised way. as II he himself could
hardly believe 1t, 'the beggars were
actually firing on usl" That u Just
ike the Limeys. though Their idea
u not 10 appear excited about any
thing at any time. but to act as though
thay were playing cricket-standing
around on lawn with paddles In their
hands, half asleep. The Limeys are
certainly cool under fire, though, and
1 think that because the Anzacs did
50 well at Gallipoli people have not
given enough credit to the British
regulars and R. N. DIS, who were
there too. and did their share Of the
WORK. and did it a. well as any men
could.
After a while this ~fflcer started on
his way again, and as he cut across
the road q French officer came up.
The Limey wore q monocle, which
caused the French officer to stare at
him a minute before he saluted. After
the Engiishman had passed him the
Frenchman took a large French penny
out Of his pocket, screwed 1t into his
eye and turned toward Us 80 that we
could see 1t, but the Limey could not.
That was not the right thing to do,
especially before enlisted men, SO our
officers did not laugh, but the men did.
and SO loud that Limey turned around
and caught sight Of the Frenchman.
He started back toward him and
thought sure there would be a fight,
or that. more likely. the Amey would
report him. Our officers should have
placed the Frenchman under arrest,
at that.
The Frenchman expected trouble,
too. for he pulled up very straight and
stt1, but he left the penny in his eye.
The Limey came up to him, halted a
few PAGES of and. without saying
a word. took the monocle out Of his
eye, twibbled 1t three or four feet in
the air and caught It In his other eye
when 1t came down.
DO that, you blighter," he said and
faced about and was on his way down
the road. They had 1t ON the French
man after that.
This Philippe Pierre. Of whom l
two Limey officers that hardly be-
lieved, yet Philippe swore 1t was the
truth. He had been In America before
the war. and he said he had seen one
Of the officers that the story Ia about
many times In New York.
he said there were two Limey off,
GERS going along the road arguing
absut the German shells which the
Turks were using. Ono Of the officers
did not burst. Just about that time
a Ghell came along and they picked
themselves up quite q distance from
whHe they had been standing. An
other she'll whizsed BY and landed nat
on the side Of the road. The ohlcer
walked over. dug 1t out Of the ground,
and took away tho detonator and fuse
to prove that they did not explode
The only thing that would make
me believe that story is that Philippe
Pierre said thay were Lmey ofncers.
No one but q Lmey would remem-
ber such an argument after being
knocked galley west by q shell con-
cussion. I DO not doubt that q Limey
would do 1t II 1t could be done, though.
