War. It's a long time ago now, and
whenever | look back, am amazed to
! find that what | remember best Of that
period is not at all what l would like to re-
member best One of my clearest memories is
one that does not make me feel good about
myself
It's of the spring of nineteen eighteen,
that memory was attached to an artillery
regiment of division that had just gone into
action, and lived at regimental headquarters,
in the cellars of village that was gradually
being pounded to dust above our heads.
A few miles behind us, in village much less
battered than ours, and with better and
stronger cellars, the divisional machine guns
had their headquarters. One day detaCh-
ment of these machine gunners came through
my village at dusk. They were on their way
to the front lines to relieve a French outfit
under the cover of darkness. ran out of my
cellar and joined them, thinking might get
story.
They had truck along, in which sprang.
In the car sat the regimental major and some
like a mother-hen to see his men properly
installed; he was then coming back to his
snug headquarters before daylight. This suited
me well, and begged little held on good
deal, and was at length accepted; soon with
lights out, we we're rolling toward the front
lines. The night was black and still with a
sinister suspended stiffness more nerve
racking than would have been burst of shell
fire, and we rode in silence.

companions in the car - the Major, cap

of his helmet and the cut of his tunic, must be

the words out of Cortot's mouth, and trans
lated into solid American all of the orders.
The thing was done. The position had
passed from the French to the Americans.
But the French captain said, II will spend the
night here with your men, and 60 out in the
morning; thus there will be no possibility of
mistakes" And we started back for home

the hog g-back those big shells were still
searching, and our noses were in the mud half
the time, but when we had reached the bot
tom, suddenly everything stopped. In beau
tiful black stiffness we came into the destroyed
village, and skirted the green scum of the
Iaroir when, without warning, some crazy,
stray, single shell lit in the very center of the
scum and deluged us in a tidal wave of filthy
water.

The story of man who toyed with
another mans life
by JAMES HOPPER

Lieutenant Cortot slid himself smoothly
along the ground; his hand shot out, seized
my coat-tais, and drew me down by his side.
A great shrek sounded overhead, followed by
an explosion, astoundingly loud after the long
Stiffness and debris pattered down like soft
rain about us. After long prudent moment,
Lieutenant Cortot got up and we went on.
And now we were getting it for fair as we
crawled along that narrow hog-back in the
dark. A battery of big guns over there was
searching for something over here. Every half
minute the little whistling sound began far
off, rose swiftly to shrek, and big shell lit,
sometimes at reassuring distance, sometimes
very near; the hog back shook like ship on
reef.
Finally we reached little fiat place, and
Cortot said "Voild!" and dim shape rose
from the ground at our feet - the French
captain of the outfit we were relieving He
was bearded and stoop- -shouldered; his voice
was hoarse whisper; he seemed to have been
here, on this lost little plateau, thousand
years. The officers gathered in little circle
for the official handing over of the position.
The French captain, whispering as though
hostile ears were near, told off the orders
under which the position was held; Lieutenant
Jules Cortot began to translate. And as l
listened, my disapproval of the young man
grew steadily. He was not only embnsqne, he
was also incompetent. He hadn't learned his
English well. What the French captain spoke
precisely and clearly, he turned into halting,
circuitous and obscure muddle. / grew I'M

Capt Cullison has been around these
