At 6 o'clock they pulled to the

darkness changed deflnable figures
into shapeless distortions Of jumbled
silhouettes. Then they were on the
march again. 1t grew miserably
dark. Cukela breasted the rain and
watched the lightning play against
the back sky.
Finally the rain stopped. Dawn
came and the sky looked like greasy,
fat bacon with a few red streaks
Of lean running through it. The
marines had the road to themselves
now, for the artillery had gone
into position some distance back,

Under the red face of the moon the

Dawn came. and still they rumbled
forward. The sun was directly over

dust-powdered leathernecks debark-

thirsty.
Once more Cukela felt the road
under his feet. It was good road,
rolling like a white ribbon toward
heavy woods in the distance. Clouds
pressed down suddenly and it began
to rain, fetid. sultry shower. Then
the marines reached the woods. 1t
was shiveringly damp. Cukela's
trained mind realized something gi-

remedy this by building a sewer
around Florida avenue.
Some distance above Grant avenue

stopped firing and the German artil-
lery began. But most of the big
stuff passed over the marines, rip
ping into the cannoneers in retalia-
ton.
AS the friendly barrage lifted the
marines suddenly realized they were
confronted by the cold suffering
of Maxim guns. Then rifle fire
began whipping into the advancing
skirmishers. Cukela shouted warn
ing and pointed to a saffron mist OF
mustard gas curling up. Here and
there men were falling. The rest
continued, slowly, casually.
Step by step they advanced, en-
quilting the German outposts like
some leisurely, incomprehensibly
large monster. The hostile lines
dinned furiously.
