So the trenches I had come from were more itke outposts than anything else, and Were cot off. I felt pretty /sur5\ttien( that the boys in them would /never CQm« back alive, because as soon as their Are let up the Turks would ad­ vance, e.nd. to keep them back our guns would have to Wipe out our men. and if they did not, the Turks would. At first I was glad I had come out, but then I remembered what the artillery officer had said and I figured I would •have to go back and stay with them or bring them back. Either way there was not one chance in a hundred that any of us would make it. Because when I got through it was really Just a miracle and nobody would have thought IP could happen. Then the officer told me to gq back to the beach, where our naval guns •were, and that I was detailed to them. Maybe yoti do not think I was glad? But there was rough work still ahead of me, because when I got behind the third line I saw a wide open field that was light gray from the shell smoke hanging over it, and I could see the flashes where the hlg ones were doing their work, and I had to go through that field. I fell time and again, sometimes when I thought a shell was near, and <46Bietimes when I had no reason for it--only I was thirsty again, and was shivering all the time, and was so weak I could not have choked a gold­ fish. I do not remember hardly any­ thing about going through that field, and you might say the next thing I knew was when I was overtaken by a dispatch runner, and got in a .tin tab at the side of a motorcycle and was taken to the guns* I felt ready for a Rip Van Winkle nap then, but the officer in command would not let me. He said they were •mm good to us, you can bet, and we said if we never put our hoofs on that place again it would be-soon enough. We were shelled on our way out to the Cassard, and one ]boat was over- turi ed, but the men were rescued. Two men in the lauyh I was in were wounded. But we aid not pay any attention to that shelling--the Turks might just as well have been blowing peas at us through a soda straw for all we cared. ^ I noticed that when we came near the Cassard the other boats held up and let our launch get into the lead, and that we circled around the Cas­ sard's bows and came up on the star­ board side, which was unusual. But I did not think anything of it until I came over the side-. There were the side boys lined up, and the Old Man was there, with the ship's steward beside him. He took the log book from the stew­ ard and showed It to me, and there was my name on it. Now when you are punished for anything you are logged, but I could n6t figure out what I had done to get punished for, so I was very much surprised. But the Old Man slapped me on the back and everybody cheered, and then I saw It was not punishment, but just the op­ posite. When people ask me what I have received my decoration for (Croix de Guerre), I tell them I do not rightly know, and that is a fact. I do not know whether it was for going back from those trenches or for destroying the storehouses. So I always tell them I got It Tor working ^vertime. That Is what the Limeys say, or if they have the Victoria cross they say they got it for being very careless. Ask one of them and see. All of us were certainly glad to be aboard the Cassard again, and if any place ever looked like home to me it was the old ship. Our casualties were very high and .we were therefore or­ dered to put back to /Brest. We had a great little celebration that night, and next morning weighed anchor and started back, after clearing for action. I was still pretty blue about Mur^ ray, but very much relieved as to the safety of my own skin, and I figured that after the Dardanelles and my last day there they had not made the right bullet for me yet. The rest of us felt about the same way and we were sing­ ing all the time. • • - - \i m /••-I tent That One Along, and ftho •• \ landed Direct. \ • I.'**- . f / i / • abort of gunners--the terrific shelling .had killed off dozens of them--and as "fl»6 knew I could point a gun he had ordered them over the telephone to get me to the beach as fast as possi­ ble. He spotted the two warehouses I have spoken of for me and said it Was up to us to put them out of com- taisstoa. The gun was a 14-inch naval, and that looked good to me, so I bucked up a lot. The warehouses were about 10 or 11 miles away, I should Judge, and about 30 or 40 yards apart. I, felt very weak, as I have Bald, and shivered every onee In a while, ao 1 did not think I could do much Conning worth whistling at. But they loaded the "Old 14-inch and made ready, and we got the range and all was set. The officer told me to let her ride. 45© I said to myself, "This is one for you, Murray, old boy. Let's go from here." So I sent that one along and she landed direct and the warehouse went tip in fire and smoke. I felt good then, and I laid the wires on the other ware­ house and let her go. But she was too high and I made a clean miss. Then I. was mad, because I had sent that «Ntftf>ver for my sett. So I got the cross wires on the warehouse again and, I said to myself, "This is not for any- bo^y. just for luck, because I sure h*ve had plenty of it today." Then the Juice came through the w^es and into the charge, and away (rite went, and up went the second warehouse. *That made two directs out of three, and 1 guess it hurt the Turks some to lose all their ammunition. officer kissed me before I could duck and slapped me on the back and Z Reeled over.

But 1 6$ Dot believe I came to,, singing, be­ cause I never sang "Sweet Adeline" before, that I know of, or any other •on? when anybody was in range.

A* t&Bal, when we got to Brest there was rush work day and night oh the Cassard to get her out and supplies of all kinds were loaded for oUr next visit to the Turks. The French gar­ bles were always keen for the trip back to Brest--they were sure of load­ ing up on tobacco and other things they needed. My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles was different from the others. The Cassard was doing patrol wofk at the time in the neighborhood of Cape Helles. Those of us who had served on the Peninsula before were thank­ ing our stars for the snap we were haying--just cruising around waiting for something to happen. We had not been there very long be­ fore something unexpected did happen, for we ran Into two enemy cruisers-- which I afterwards heard were the. Werft and Kalserllche Marine-r-one on the starboard and one on the port. How they had managed to sneak up so near us I do not know. They opened up on us at not much more than a thousand yards and gave us a hot time from the start, though with any kind of gunnery they should have done for us thoroughly. We came right baclt at them and were getting In some pretty good shots. I was In the 14-ineb gun turret, star­ board bow--my old hangout--and we were letting them have it about four shots every five minutes and scoring heavily. I do not know how long we had been fighting when part of our range finder w$a carried away. It was so hot, though, and we were so hard at It that such a little thing like that did not bother us. it Is hot in any gun turret, but I have always noticed that it Is hotter there In the Dardanelles than in any other place. The sweat would simply cake up on us, until our faces were Just covered with a film of pow­ dery stuff. But the range finder was carried away, and "although It looked bad for us I was feeling so good that I vol­ unteered to go on deck and get an­ other one. I got outstde the turret door and across the deck, got the nec­ essary parts and was coming back with them when I received two ma- chine-gun bullets in the right thigh. One went clear through bone and all and drilled a hole on the other side, while the other came within an inch of going through. The,peculiar thing Is that these two were in a line above the wound I got at Dlxoaude. The line is almost as straight as you could draw it with a ruler. Of course It knocked me down and I hit my head a pretty hard crack on the steel deck, but I was able to crawl on to the turret door. Just as I was about to enter the gun was fired. That particular charge happened t9 he de­ fective. The shell split and caused a back fire and the cordite, fire and gas came through the breech, which the explosion had opened, v It must have been a piece of cordite which did it, but whatever it was. It hit me In the right eye and blinded it. The ball of the eye was saved by the French surgeons and looks normal, but 4t pains me greatly sometimes and they tell me it will always be sight­ less. I was unconscious Immediately from the blow and from the quantity of gas which I must have swallowed. This gas did me a great deal of damage and gives roe dizzy spells often to this day. I do not know what happened during the rest of the engagement, as I did not regain consciousness until three days later at sea. But I heard in the hospital that the French super- dreadnaught Jeanne light cruiser Norman well as ourselves, th< time I was wounded, all been pretty we! Cassard lost 96 me rnent and had. 48 wo our turrets were twis- nar of shapes and was carried away. tenants was killed 1 I was told that b the Kalserllche Ma: this engagement I of sailors from the prisoners at interment camps. When we arrived at Brest the wounded were taken from the ship in stretchers and after we had been rest­ ed for about fifteen minutes on the dock put Into ambulances and rushed to the hospital. On the way those who could leaned out of the ambulance and had a great time with the people along the streets, many of whom they knew, for the Cassard was a Brest ship. And of course the women and children yelled, "Vive la France!" and were glad to see the boys again, even though they were badly done up. Some of our men were bandaged all over the face and head and It was funny when they had to tell their names to old friends of theirs, who did not recognize them. As soon as one of the Brest people recognized a friend off he would go to get cigarettes and other things for him and some Of them almost beat us to the hospital. I do not know, of course, just what the surgeons did to me, but I heard that they had my eyeball out on my cheek for almost two hours. At any rate they saved It. The thigh wounds were not dangerous In themselves and If it had not been for the rough treat­ ment they got later on they would be quite healed by this'time, I am sure. I really think I got a little extra at­ tention In the hospital In many ways, for the French were at all times anx­ ious to show their friendliness to America. Every time my meals were served there was a little American flag on the platter and always a large American flag draped over the bed. I had everything I wanted given to me at once and when I was able to, all tiie cigarettes I could smoke, which were not many. While I was still In bed in the hos­ pital I received the Croix de Guerre, which I had won at the Dardanelles. The presentation was made by Lieu­ tenant Barbey. He pinned ah Ameri­ can flag on my breast, a French flag beneath It and beneath that the war crossi He kissed me on both cheeks, of course, which was taking advantage of a cripple. But it Is the usual thing with the French, as you know--I mean the kissing, not the meanness to cripples. . When he had pinned the medal on he said he thanked me from the bot­ tom of his heart for the French people, and also thanked all the Americans who had come over from their own land to help a country with which most of them were not connected. He said It was a war in which many na­ tions were taking part, but in which there were just two Ideas, freedom and despotism, and a lot more things that I cannot remember. He finished by saying that he wished he could dec­ orate all of us. Of course It was. great stuff for me and I thought I was the real thing sure enough, but I could not help thinking of the remark I have heard here In the States--"I chank you and the whole family thanks you." And It was hard not to laugh. Also It seemed funny to me, because I did not rightly know Just what they were giving me I Was Able t* Crawl isft'te thi^Tunret Door. 'A the medal for---though it was: tor one of two things--and I do not know to this day. But I thought It would not be polite to ask, so I let It go at that. Th^re were twelve other naval offi­ cers who were present and they and. all the other people dt*1 a lot of cheer­ ing and vlved me to a fare-you-well. It was great stuff, altogether, and I should have liked, to get a medfltl every day. .. r One day I received a letter from a man who had been in my company in the Foreign Legion anflfVlth 'whom I had been pretty chummy. His letter wus partly In French and partly in English. It was all about who had been killed and who had been wound­ ed. He also mentioned Murray's death, which he had heard about, and about my receiving the Croix de Guerre. I was wishing he had said something about Brown, whom I had not heard from and who I knew would visit me if he had the chance. But two or three days later I got another letter from tne same man and when I opened It out tumbled a photo­ graph. At first .all 1 saw was that It was the photograph of a man crucified with bayonets, but when I looked at It cjosely I saw it was Brown. I fainted then, just tike a girl. When I came to I could hardly make myself think about It Two of my pals gone ! It hurt me. so much to . I Received the Croix da Guerre. think of It that I crushed the letter up In my hand, but later on I could read parts of It. It said they had found Brown this way near DIxmude about two days after he had been re­ ported missing. So three of us went over and two stayed there. It seems very strange to me that both of my pals should be crucified and if I were superstitious I do not know what I would think about It. It made me sick and kept me from recovering as fast as I would have done otherwise. Both Brown and Murray were good pals and very good men In a fight. I often think of them both and about the things we did together, but lately I have tried not to think about them much because it Is very sad to think what torture they must have had to stand. They were both of great credit to this country. The American consul visited me quite Qften and I got to calling him Sherlock because he asked sp many questions. We played lots of games together, mostly with dice, and had'a great time generally. After I became convalescent he argued with me that I had seen enough, and though I really did think so--however much I disliked what I had seen--he got my discharge from the service on account of phys­ ical inability to discharge the usual duties. After I had been at the hos­ pital for a little over a month I was discharged froi*' it, after a little party In my ward with everyone taking part and nil the horns flowing and all the records except my favorite dirge played one after another. Sherlock arranged everything for me--my passage to New York, cloth­ ing, etc. I ran up to St Nazalre and saw' my grandmother, loafed around a while and also visited Lyons. After a short time I returned to Brest and got" my passage on the Georglc for New York. I had three trunks with me full of things I had picked up around Europe and had been keeping with my grandmother. Among fny belongings were several things I should like* to show by pho­ tographs In this book, but n<? one but mermaids can see them now, for down to the locker of Davy Jones they want (TO BE CONTINUED.) WOMEN HANDLE BIG SHELLS Young Mother Gave Practical Demon* atration of Their Physical Fit. " nesa to Do So. When women first were put to work In shell factories In England they handled only the light field-gun shells. Later It became necessary for them to turn out larger shells, and doubts were raised as to whether the women were strong enough to handle them. A' young mother settled the question, "Let me heft the sheH," she said, picking one up from the floor. "Aye," she commented, "this shell Is a mite heavy, 'tis true, but it's not so heavy as my baby." JFhere Is a shell factory In the Liv­ erpool district operated almost exclu­ sively by the daughters of business and professional men. Many are young girls who had never done any* kind of work other than needle work and cooking. The heavy work ot the establishment Is performed by the wives of sailors. This is a nonprofit-making factory and It Is the reply of the Cunard com­ pany to the Germans for the stoking of the Lusitania. r • • i / {Americans Open Korean The Seoul Press announces that an arrangement has been made to work a gold and silver mipe at Chaidong, Kuyongrayon, Yangtok district South Pyongando, with a capital of 1,000,000 yen, 200,000 yen being subscribed by Koreans and the rest by Americans.

There are many who believe that It was the first garment worn by Adam and Eve, when they realized that cloth­ ing was to be a necessity to their species. The tunic really followed the mantle, and from Elijah to William I of England is a long, long spell In his­ tory, but we know that the former wore a mantle and the latter a tunic. Julius Caesar occupied a place In the sun between these two. but he wore a toga. Beau Brummel brought In coats and George IV, picturesque as he was In his costumery, blazed the path for the ugliest clothes that the men on this planet have ever worn. The tunic was a -masculine fashion, as most garments are that women think are their own. The critics of this generation fall upon women and smite them hard for their fripperies and frivolities, the whims and caprices of their dothlng, and yet these critics are men who do not seem to realize that all "the centuries of progress of the male part of the human race were given over to caprice and brilliancy in apparel, as well as to defeat and vic­ tory In arms.

The tunic, was the funda­ mental part of the British warrior's costume, and the cuirass--that glit­ tering breastplate of steel and highly polished metal--was the symbol of all fighters. So France Introduced the tunic of that other and primitive war­ fare which she thought had gone for­ ever, and suddenly .found one August morning that it had come to her with all the cruelty of the early centuries. She did her best to enlprce this tunic into the fashions of faier countries, but with small measure of success un- STOLES OF FUR ARE FAVORED Spring Styles New Beginning to Re* eetve Attention; Leather Bloueee Another New Feature.

They borrowed the idea of a wash shirt from man, as they have borrowed all their fashions, and they felt and rightly so, that there is an element of cleanliness In putting next to the skin throughout the day hours a garment that can go to the tub. The tunic does not go to the tub, and the only way to keep It entirely fresh Is to wear It over a long-sleeved muslin lining, which Many women do. « Practical and Ornate Blouses. The tunic and the outside blouse are one and the same thing. You may call It a cuirass, or a blouse with a peplum, or a Chinese sacque, or whatever name suits your fancy. The elemental fact Is that the fashionable blouse of to­ day hangs from shoulders to bips. It may be girdled; It may not Its sleeves may be cut according to the fashion of William I or they may be after the manner of Dagcbert of France--long and wrinkled to the wrist Building on this foundation, the de­ signers in America and Paris have thrown caution and economy to the winds and accepted this new blouse In such an extravagant manner that they seem to be making up for that time when they let It rest neglected in the dark corners. The cables from Paris insist that coat suits are much smarter than one* piece frocks for the woman of fashion and her followers, but here In America, even with the impetus given to tailored suits In the early autumn, the pendu­ lum appears to have swung back to one-piece frocks und luxurious wraps of fur and velveteen. Probably with the advent of early spring, with the southward bound tourist, the coat suit will regain the prestige of October. If it does, these extravagant short me­ dieval tunics will have a high chance for development. In the Interim, they are worn not only with heavy tailored suits, but as tops to separate skirts. Can Be Made at Home. It is In this department of dress that they are most brilliant There are some dressmakers who feel that smart women will no longer order entire frocks If the enthusiasm for these bril­ liant accessories grow In strength. However, there Is no reason for de­ spair In that, for the tunic blouse, as it Is displayed at this hour, Is no mean thing to make and no poor thing to purchase. Its fabric and the ornamen­ tation pu| upon It bring the cost well up beyond the average purse. But the best part of It is that the amateur can make these things at home, for they have nothing but straight line** and are built from loosely hanging widths of the material. , And yet there Is danger In the work- of the amateur, especially if she is guided by this hasty description, for It Is the tunic of the Conqueror that Is in fashion, not the smock of the Russian moujik or the gorgeous coat of the Arabian potentate. The widths must outline the figure, and they must cling to the hips, and the armholes must be cut with precision and per­ fection. The whole attempt of fash- Ion today Is to throw the figure Into a sharp outline, and we must watch that tendency If we would keep abreast of what is happening and cul­ tivate our vision to look ahead.

They are quite sim­ ple and may easily be made at home. The essentials consist of heavy white paper, a wire frame, and gay chintzes or colored prints. The idea Is to cut out the designs in the chintz and paste them on the paper shade. It is re­ markable the variety of designs that may be obtained in this way. In such shades geometrical figures make a more formal decoration than do danc­ ing girls, garlands of flowers, bands of butterflies, or birds on the wing, but they are all equally attractive^ and In their arrangement and color He their charm.
