soft DOT on the ground, a messenger
arrived. 1t was: March Follow your
guide! ASK no questions! Infantry,
artillery, machine gunners-all the
material of a divisiOn-went forth in
the dead dark of night; not knowing
even the direction that we Were 60
ing. Just before dawn we entered a
heavy forest and remained in hiding
all day. No fires German planes
would see the smoke, know there were
troops in that forest. That night same
thing. Forced march nearly all night
in rain and mud. Ten minutes rest in

Glory of Scissors.
July IS, 1918, found the First dlvi-
sion in front of Scissors. In front of
the First division were trenches lit
orally filled with German machine
guns-plenty Of ammunition. Back of
these trenches was banked tier after
tier of artillery. 1t looked like it would
be impossible to break the line with
flesh and blood. Our infantry had to
advance across open wheat fields a
half mile wide, face machine guns that
were arranged by traversing device
so that the shots would strike a man
about the breast.
But the infantry went forward close
ly followed by the artillery. 1t was
genuine surprise! Prisoners said that
no one but fool or a mad man would
attempt to take such a formidable line.
AT dawn the line was breaking! By
noon the tide of battle was turning
BY night the tide of battle had turned |!
Thousands fell killed and wounded
The remnant gained their objective
took the trenches that were literally
filled with machine guns.
The great decisive battle of the
World war was about $50 miles long
and hinged on Verdun. On that wide
battle front were millions of men; yes,
millions Of men with guns in their
hands struggling for the supremacy Of
this earth. In certain phases of that
battle more men were killed and
wounded in one hour than during our
entire Civil war. More ammunition

w I IS not the intention of this ar

all. I saw many Americans in action.
Regulars. Guardsmen. National army.
One and all, alike, worthy sons of
Washington. Men who could face their
ancestors in the Day of Judgment; tell
how they had worn the mantle of citi-
zenship.
Our soldiers never flinched never
whimpered. A uniform merely changed
appearances. They were still Ameri-
cans, still men. Men who saw vision.
Men with a mission in life. Men with
an ancestry. Men who welcomed a
watery grave rather than dishonOr.
Men who we're ready. If need be, to
mount the hurricane deck of a whale

Then it was realized of what kind Of

put an end to this cruel war. They
