CHAPTER XIII.
Limeys, Anzacs and PoiIus,

One night, while we were expecting
an attack, the word was passed down
the line to have the wire cutters ready
and to use bayonets only for the first
part of the attack, for we were to try
and take the first enemy trench BY
surprise. The first trench was only
about eighty yards away. Our big guns
opened up and at zero we climbed out
and followed the curtain Of fire too
closely, it seemed to me.
But the barrage stopped too soon,
as It does sometimes, and there were
plenty Of Turks left. We were half
way across when they saw US, and
they began banging away at us very
hard. They pounded at US as we came
on until we were given the order to
retire, almost as we were on them
what was left Of us.
As we turned and started back the
Turks rushed out to cOunter-attack US,
the first Of them busy with bombs.
Then I tripped over something and
rolled around a while and then saw
it was Philippe Pierre. His left leg
was dangling, cloth and flesh and all
shot away and the leg hanging to the
rest Of him by shred. Two or three
Of our men who were on their way
back to our trenches tripped over me
as tried to get up, and then a shell
exploded near by and I thought I had
got it sure. but it was only the rocks
thrown up by the explosion.
Finally was able to stand up. So
I slung my rifle over one shoulder
and got Philippe Pierre up on the
other. with his body from the waist
up hanging over my back, SO that
I could hold his wounded leg on, and
started back. There was only one or
two Of our men left between the

bombing at full speed.

saying word, but the other chap

whose name I cannot remember-I
never did know him very well-that /
would come back for him, and went

him again he gave me a little box as

CHAPTER XIi-Contlnued

No one man can see all Of an attack,
which may extend over miles of
ground, but during the three weeks
! was In the trenches on the Gallipoll
peninsula we made four grand attacks
ind many minor ones, so l know In q
general way what they are like. Each
wave Is organized like the others.
might call grenadiers, though they are
bot picked for size as the old kings
srenadiers used to be. They are de-
Hoyed in skirmish formation, which
means that every man Is three yards
Rom the next. They were armed only
With grenades, but, you can take it
srom me, that Is enough! Behind them
1ame two lines, also in skirmish for
nation, and armed with machine guns
and grenade rifles. The first men on
he left carry machine guns, then come
hree rifle grenadiers, and then anoth-
}r machine gun and so on down the
length of the line. After these come
1--WE lines of riflemen with fixed bay
Snets.
Then come the trench cleaners, or
toppers-up. as we call them. They
we're some gang, believe me. Imagine
; team Of rugby players spread out In
WO lines-Only with hundreds Of men
- the team instead of eleven, and
each man a husky, capable Of ham
ffng baby grand piano single
handed. These fellows were armed
nth everything you could think Of,
md whole lot more that you could
hot dream about In a nightmare. It
esed to remind me Of q trial / saw
n New York once, where the police
lad raided a yeggmen's fop and had
i'll their weapons in the courtroom as
exhibits.
/. The moppers-up were heeled with
tssicks. clubs, shillelahs, black-jacks,
fwo-handed cleavers, axes, treRch
knives, poniards, up-to-date toma-
hawks, brass knuckles, slung shots
anything that was ever invented for
(rashing man with, guess, except
l1rearms. These knock-down, drag-out
artists follow the riflemen very closely.
Rsheir job was to take care Of all the
Turks who could not escape and would
BET surrender.
There are lots Of men in any army
ho will not surrender, but I think
probably there were more Turks Of
hat gameness than men In most other
lrmies. I have heard that IL Is q part
L their religion that man, II he
1ies fighting, goes to a very specially
fancy heaven, with plenty to eat and
moke. And I suppose If he surren-
hers they believe he will be put in
he black gang, stocking for eternity
lown below. It was awfully hot at the
Dardanelles and I guess the Turks
Lid not want 1t any hotter, for very
lew Of them ever surrendered, and the
french cleaners had a lot to do. Their
)Ob is really important, for 1t is danger
Ius to have groups Of the enemy alive
Ind kicking around in their trenches
E8ter you have passed. Almost every
prisoner we took was wounded.
The one thing I do not like to have
people ask me is, GLOW does it feel to

d not a thing you like to talk about |

Whereas. The federal government is
in control and in the operation of all
lines of transportation telephone. tele-
graph and cable lines, wireless stations
and other public utilities, and
Whereas, There is now pending in
Congress legislation, by the terms Of
which that control is to be extended
for period of five years, and
Whereas, In the operation OF said
public utilities under said federal
control, attempt Is being made to fix
local rates and charges within the
State of Vermont, without due regard

LEGISLATURE IS
BEHIND SCHEDULE
Comparisons with Work

of Business Done

Montpelier, Jan. GA report completed
this evening by Guy NJ Page, secretary
of the Senate, shows that the Legislature
Of 1919 Is nearly a week behind its reg
ular schedule. The report compares
the number Of bills handled during the
first 20 days of the present session with
the number handled during the same
time in 1877 Mr. Page states that in the
last 10 years of his experience In the
Vermont Legislature, the program has
never been so far behind at this time In
the session as now. The unusual delay
in getting things started is attributed
in large measure to the hold-up on the
ratification of the Sheppard amendment.
which has been taking the attention OF
everybody.
Mr.. Pages report shows that during the
first ~ days of the session of 1917 a total
or 2O3 bills was introduced in both houses,
while during the same time in the pres
ent session only 1F bills have appeared.
For the similar period in 1917, "A bills We're

HOW HE LOST HIS LEG

Nothing Is more irritating to real
hghting-nan than TO be interrogated
about himself. There was sailor in
railway carriage. AS he had only one
leg, he excited the interest Of two elderly
ladies, who in a roundabout way began
endeavoring to find out how he lost his
leg. For some time he sheered them off
He did not like being cross examined,
but neither did he like to be rude. SO at
last he said:
"Well, NUNS, II tell you how / lost
my leg will you stop asking me questions
about it?'
