on July II we were once more loaded onto
camions to go some place else to fight We were
hauled for 18 hours, to a place northwest of
Chateau Thierry, just south of scissors The
place was called Creepy. The afternoon of July
II we marched from Creepy through the forest
of Villers Coteret, which forest is the most
beautiful have ever seen anywhere, also the
largest.
1--WE marched until dark on a congested road
After dark we went single file holding on to
one another in order that no one would get
lost It began to rain and we got soaked
dark of the night was made darker by occa-
sonal flashes of lightning which left us blinded.
At 8 a. m. we were halted and ordered to sleep
anywhere we could find. I curled up in my
poncho under large tree. We were all wet to
the skin, but I slept like log until a. m,
when 1 was literally blasted awake by the
crash Of artillery beginning that turned out to
be the most tremendous barrage the Allies had
thus far put on at any time-any place Ap-

The part of the forest the Germans had held

of the Germans continued. Groups Of prisoners
continued to come back. Mach PARISH we would

ometers or about nine miles. So the Germans
didn't spend much time fighting us-we just
couldn't keep up. At daybreak of the 10th we
entered Vierzy. There began the most miserable
day of the war for most of
uN JERRY was in hollow. A road ran to the
Y north along hillside. The roadway was
cut out of the hill and the north side of the road
was therefore, protected by bank of varying
height. The regimental P. c. was established
along this road. The road led upward to a wheat
field. Across the field was a wood. There
the German line.
1--WE waited along the road and slightly below
the crest of the hill for orders to advance This
waiting period was nerve racking and demoral-
izing. We were undergoing terrific fire from
Boche artillery, as well as machine gun fire
from Boche planes who had spotted us and were
not only giving their artillery our exact range
but swooped down on us as we'll The artillery
made full use of their information. One shell
landed about 80 feet from me and killed II men
in my company, some of them being close
friends The cries of the wounded men were
pitiful. Nothing could do but listen.
1.-THE town below was being Systematically
blown to pieces. A shell would land. wall
would hesitate seemingly reluctant to toppe,
and then down it would go.
French cavalry had been sent into the upper
end of the town, anticipating that the Germans
might be driven into the open They made
very picturesque sight, massed in this valley or
ravine but the result of this massing was trag
edy. The German artillery seemed to ignore the
presence Of these Lancers but not for long. 1t
seemed that every gun they possessed was
brought into action at one moment-and with
the undisguised purpose Of destroying every
single trace Of that glorious looking French
outfit The Germans began a fierce barrage of
shelling. Panic and pandemonium swept through
the mass Of men and horses. Hundreds of men
and horses died from the shell fire-but the ter
rible stampede Of uncomfortable fear-striclsen
horses killed moro than the shells. Riderless
mounts stampeded through the crumbling town
of Vierzy Even above the crash Of shells
could hear the screams Of wounded horses. That
was a terrible sight. could not shut 1t out Of

What made famous war correspondent and
soldier of fortune? wondered until that day
in June whether those boys who were writing
reams about attacks and hand to hand combat
got their information up where the machine
guns were splitting death, or if, perchance, it
came from some staff officer behind the lines
IT know, now. At least one gathered his news
from a wheat field battle line first hand. He
went. He saw. He might have remained back
at battalion headquarters. That was plenty
hot and close enough anywhere at Chateau
Therry or Beleau Wood or Lucy lie Bocage.
PLENTY close enough for any ordinary cor
respondent this was no ordinary one. He
was Floyd Gibbons I have kodak picture of
the spot where Gibbons lost his eye. He was
lucky. The picture shows others killed in ac-
ton. They had not succeeded In reaching that
