Up In the Argonne one night the Ger

shells. shrapnel and gas shells IN
punches at a certain point. They were
falling about the way leaves fall from
a tree in autumn. A number OF Ameri-
can soldiers had taken refuge in a dug
out to wait until this particular strafe
by Fritz should be over. and along came
an Alabama mule-skinner. driving four
mules with load Of supplies up Front.
He was leaning back in one corner Of
the seat. smoking cob pipe and flick
ering the mules now and then with his
whip. He wasn't in a hurry. nor was he
paying any attention to the shells that
were popping all round. He was driving
the mules up to the front. and appar-
entity the job was no more to him than
driving them along an Alabama road.
A young soldier stuck his head out 81
the dusout and yelled:
Say. Alabam. what do you think Of
the war;
The Alabaman pulled up the mules.
took his pipe out Of his mouth. leaned
leisurely over and replied: whats
that? I didn't git ye."
