1t is very hard to get matches IN

Fritz what had been done with the

That was too deep for Fritz. 30 the
Australian answered it himself. Don't

Still the sentry did not get It. SO
the Australian carefully explained to
me-so that Fritz could hear-that the
Germans had no blankets aid were

In.
This started fighe, of course-the
German idea of fight, that is. The
