Synoptic.--Albert N. Depew, author of the story, tells of his service ID the United States navy, during which he attained the rank of chief petty officer, first-class gunner. The world war starts soon after he receives his honorable discharge' from the navy, and he leaves for France with a determination to enlist. He joins the Foreign Legion and is assigned to the dreadnaught Cassard, where his marksmanship wins him high honors. Later he is transferred to the land forces and sent to the Flanders front. CHAPTER IV--Continued. In the communication trench you fc&re to keep your distance from the •an ahead of you. This is done so Out yon will have plenty of room to Ull down in, and because if a shell should find the trench, there would be fewer casualties in an open formation than In a closed. The German artil­ lery Is keen on communication trenches, and whenever they spot one they stay with it a long time. Most e£ them are camouflaged along the top and sides, so that enemy aviators can­ not see anything but the earth or boshes, when they throw an eye down k on our lines. ; - • We took over oar section of the ffaat line trenches from a French line tfeglment that had been on the job for Si days. That was the longest time 1, have heard of any troops remaining ^ ; Hfe the firing line. v ' Conditions at the front and ways of lighting are changing all the time, as each side Invents new methods of butchering, so when I try to describe the Dixmude trenches, you must real- tee that it is probably just history by now. If they are still using trenches Biere they probably look entirely dif­ ferent, Bet when I was at Dixmude they Were something like this: | Behind the series of front-line {trenches are the reserve trenches; in (Oils case five to seven miles away, and •till farther back are the billets. These •nay be booses or barns or ruined jthurches--any place that can possibly used for quartering troops when )»ff duty. l>. .Troops were osvally la the front­ line trendies six to eight days, and jfonrteen to sixteen days In the reserve to Then back to the billets for » fox or right days. ' _ We were not allowed to change our 1 w (Clothing in the front-lice trenches- list even to remove socks, unless for faspection. Nor would they let yon ,S« much as unbutton your Shirt, unless there was an Inspection of identlflca- •v,, ©on diska. We wore a dink at the Wrist and another around the neck. ^.vifon know the gag about the disks, of fourse: If your arm Is blown off they ; ^ • t tan tell who you are by the neck disk; r * your head Is blown off, they do not . ' tare who yon are. < J" the reserve trenches you am .3jttks yourself more comfortable, but |ou cannot go to such extreme lengths luxury as changing your clothes en- ly. That is for billets, where yon moat of your time bathing, changing clothes, sleeping and eating. Believe me. a billet is great stuff; It like a sort of temporary heaven. ' Of course yon know what the word .f'l•; ffcootles" means. Let us hope you Will never know what the cooties f themselves mean. When you get in ;• jir near the trenches, you take a course 1® 016 natural history of bugs, lice, ..-;|^ 'iNits and -very kind of pert that has 'i' "^viprer been invented. «^ , It Is funny to see some of the new- - fcotaers when they first discover a • '(Irwotle on them. Some of them cry. ! *' |f they really knew what it was going l/ to be like they would do worse than that, maybe. Then they start hunting all over each other, just like monkeys. They team for this purpose, and many times it In this way that a couple of men get be trench partners and come to be for life--which may not be a long at that. j In the front-line trenches it is more jbomfortable to fall asleep on the para- jpet fire-step than in the dugouts, be­ cause the cooties are thicker down t>elow„ and they simply will not give , X rrV ?0B a minute's rest. They certainly l*re active little pests. We used to §L' • .i .Jnake back scratchers out of certain Fv, 5 Weapons that had flexible handles, but " \ *iever had time to use them when we TP'; $-;i»eeded them most. i fcfSP-. » ' s,.. , ( , We were given bottles of a liquid jp;/'-. y^'hich. smelled like lysol and were sup- l^v ipoaed to soak our clothes In It. It was .. >•%<( ^thought that the cooties would object the smell and quit work. Well, y, ^ '• cootie that could stand our clothes , CY- • without the dope on them would not be bothered by a little thing like this stuff. Also, our clothes got so sour ^ and horrible smelling that they hurt I our noses worse than the cooties. They certainly were game little devils, and ; came right back at us. Bo most of the pollus threw the i, dope at Frits and fought the cooties «uund to hand. ' There was plenty of food Ip the • "breaches most of the time, though once fa a while, during a heavy bombard- 4 Ment, the fatigue--usually a corporal's gnafd--would get killed In the com­ munication trenches and we would not have time to get out to the fatigue and rescue the grub they were bringing. 0QOMBtimes you could not find either .fths fatigue or the grab when you got Slsfc-V- to the point where they had been hit. But, as I say, we were well fed most of the time, and got second and third helpings until we had to open? our belts. But as the Limeys say: "Gaw blimey, the chuck was rough." They served a thick soup of meat and vege­ tables In bowls the size of wash ba­ sins, black coffee with or without sugar--mostly without!--and plenty of bread. Also, we had preserves in tins, Just like the Limeys. If you send any par­ cels over, do not put any apple and plum jam In them or the man who gets It will let Fritz shoot him. Ask any Limey soldier and he will tell you the same. I never thought there w$s so much jam in the world. No Man's Land looked like a city dump. Most of us took it, after a while, just to get the bread. Early in the war they used the tins to make bombs of, but that was before Mills came along with his hand grenade. Later on they flat­ tened out the tins and lined the dug­ outs with them. Each man carried an emergency ra­ tion in his bag. This consisted of bully beef, biscuits, etc. This ration was never used except in a real emergency, because no one could tell when it might mean the difference between life and death to him. When daylight catches a man in a shell hole or at a listening post out in No Man's Land he does not dare to crawl back to his trench before nightfall, and then Is the time that his emergency ration comes In handy. Also, the stores failed to reach us sometimes, as I have said, and we had to use the emergency rations. .Sometimes/ we received raw meat and fried It In our dugouts. We built regular clay ovens In the dugouts, with iron tops for broiling. This, of course, was in the front-line trenches only. We worked two hours on the fire- step and knocked off for four hours, in which time we cooked and ate and slept This routine was kept up night and day, seven days a week. Some­ times the program was changed; for Instance, when there was to be an at­ tack or when Fritz tried to come over and visit, but otherwise nothing dis­ turbed our routine unless It was a gas attack. The ambition of most privates is to become a sniper, as the official sharp­ shooters are called. After a private has been in the trenches for six months or a year and has shown his marksmanship, he becomes the great man he has dreamed about. We had two snipers to each company and be­ cause they took more chances with their lives than the ordinary privates they were allowed more privileges. When it was at all possible our snipers were allowed dry quarters, the best of food, and they did not have to follow the usual routine, but came and went as they pleased. Our snipers, as a rule, went over the parapet about dusk, Just before Fritz got his star shells going. They would crawl out to shell craters or tree or • hole* th«t th«y had get eight or ten they thought they- had not done a good night's work. Of course it was not wholesale killing, like machine gunning, but it was very useful, because our snipers were al­ ways laying for the German snipers, and when they got Sniper Fritz they saved just so many of our lives. The Limeys have a great little ex­ pression that means a lot: "Carry on." They say it is a cockney expression. When a captain falls in action, his words are not a message to the girl he left behind him or any dope about his gray-haired mother, but "Carry on, Lieutenant Whosis." If the lieutenant gets his tt is "Carry on, Sergeant Jacks," and so on as far as It goes. So the words used to mean, "Take over the command and do the job right.** But now they mean not only that but "Keep up your courage, and go to It." One man will say it to another sometimes when he thinks the first man is getting downhearted, but more often, if he is a Limey, he will start kidding him. » our men, of course, did not say "Carry on," and in fact they did not have any expression in French that meant exactly the same thing. But they used to cheer each other along, all right, and they passed along the command when it was necessary, too. I wonder what expression the Amerl-* can troops will use. (You notice X do not call them Sammies!) I took my turn at listening post with the rest of them, of course. A listen­ ing post is any good position out in No Man's Land, and is always held by two men. Their job is to keep a live ear on Fritz and in case they hear any- thing that sounds very much like an attack one man runs back to his lines and the other stays to hold back the Boches as long as he can. You can figure for yourself which is the most healthful Job. As many times as I went oft listen*. Ing-post duty I never did get to feel­ ing homelike there exactly. You have to lie very still, of course, as Fritz is listening, too, and a move may mean a bullet in the ribs. So, lying on the ground with hardly-a change of posi­ tion, the whole lower part of my body would, go to sleep before I had been at the post very long. I used to brag a lot about how fast I could run, so I had my turn as the runner, which suited me all right. But every time I got to a listening post and started to think about what I would do if Fritz should come over and wondered bow good a runner he was, I took a long breath and said, "Feet, do your duty." And I was strong on duty. After I had done my stunt in the front-line and reserve trenches I went back with my company to billets, but had only been there for a day or two before I was detached and detailed to the artillery position to the right of us, where both the British and French had mounted naval guns. There were guns of all calipers there, both naval and field pieces, and I got a good look at the famous "75's," which are the best guns in the world, in my estima­ tion, and the one thing that saved Verdun. The "75's** fired SO shots a minute, where the best the German guns could do was six. The American three-Inch field piece lets go six times a minute, too. The French government owns the secret of the mechanism that made this rapid fire possible. When the first' "75's" began to roar, the Germans knew the French had found a new weapon, so they were very anxious to get one of the guns and learn the secret. Shortly afterward they captured eight guns by a mass attack in which, the allies claim, there were 4,000 Ger­ man troops killed. The Boches studied the guns and tried to turn out pieces like them at the Krupp factory. But somehow they could not get it. Their imitation "75's" would only fire five shots very rapidly and then "cough"-- puff, puff, puff, with nothing coming out The destructive power of the "75's" is enormous. These guns have saved the lives of thousands of pollus and Tommies and It Is largely due to them that the French are now able to beat Fritz at his own game and give hack shell for shell--and then some. that, but still tucre sownenne told me I could eraminethe gun If I' wanted to, Just jts tf * owned "It ] So I sat in tbS S&rfmt trained the cross wires oo ^ bbJecfc opened and closed the breech ami examined the' recoil. _ , ; Thett j^twn said: -Weil; Chink, you'll see Some real gunnery now," and they passed the word and took sta­ tions. My eyes bulged out when I saw Brown take his station with them I "Silence!" Is about the first com­ mand a gun crew gets when it is going into action, but I forgot all about it and shouted out and asked Brown how he got to be a gunner. But he only grinned and looked dopey, as usual.: Then I came to and expected to get a call down from the officer; but he Only, grinned and so did the crew. It seems they had it all framed to sprteg on me, and they expected I would be surprised. * j So we put cotton in our ears andj the captain called the observation- tower a short distance away and they gave him the range. Then the captain "called 4128 meters" to Brown. They placed the nose of a shell In a fuse adjuster and7 turned the handle until It reached Scale 4128. This set the fuse to explode at the range given. Then they slammed the shell into the breech, locked it shttt and Brown sent his best to Fritz." " * The barrel slipped back, threw out the shell £ase at our feet and returned over a cushion of grease. Then we received the results by telephone from .A IsfreMvfe In s r We Started Right Into What Was Left of a Big House. the observation tower. After lis had Hied twelve shots the captain said to Brown, "You should never waste your­ self in infantry, son." And old dopey Brown just stood there and grinned. That was Bro^rn every time. He knew about more things than you could think of. He had read about gunnery and fooled around at Dixmude until they let him play with the "75's," and finally here he was, giving his kindest to old Fritz with the rest of them. Members of the Foreign Le­ gion, all soldiers of fortune, swear vengeance when they see the Germans place Belgian wom­ en and children in front of them as shields against the enem^o fire. Gunner Depew tells about this in the next installment. (TO BEJ CONTINUED.) LEARNING WHITE MAN'S WAYS * They Potted Huns by Guess Work. words, places where they could see the enemy parapets but could not be seen themselves. Once in position, they would make themselves comfort­ able, smear their tin hats with dirt, get a. good rest for their rifles and snipe every German they saw. They wore extra bandoleers of cartridges, since there was no telling how many rounds they might fire during the night. Sometimes they had direct and visible targets and other times they potted Huns by guesswork. Usually tney crawled back just before day­ light, but sometimes they were out 24 hours at a stretch. They took great pride In the number of Germans they knocked over, and if our men did not CHAPTER V. * With the "TV±m My pal Brown, of whom I spoke be­ fore, had been put in the infantry when he enlisted in the Legion, be­ cause he had served in the United States infantry. He soon became a sergeant, which had been his rating in the American service. I never saw him In the trenches, because our out- i Ufa were nowhere nem* oTn®f, ?>'it whenever we were in billets at the same time, we were together as much as possible. Brown was s funny card and I never saw anyone else much like htm. ' A big, tall, red-headed, dopey-looking fel­ low, never saying much and slow in everything he did or said--you would never think he amounted to much or was worth his salt. The boys used to call him "Ginger" Brown, both on ac­ count of his red hair and his slow movements. But he would pull- a sur­ prise on you every once in a while, like this one that he fooled me with. One morning about dawn we started out for a walk through what used to be Dixmude--piles of stone and brick and mortar. There were no civvies to be seen; only mules and horses bring­ ing up casks of water, bags of beans, chloride of lime, barbed wire, ammu­ nition. etc. It was a good thing we were not superstitious. At that, the shadows along the walls made me feel shaky sometimes. * Finally Brown said: "Come on down; let's see the *75's'" At this time I had not seen a "75," except on a train going to the front, so I took him up right away, but was surprised that he should know where they were. After going half way around Dix­ mude Brown said, "Here we are," and started right into what was left of a big house. I kept wondering how he would know so much about it, but fol­ lowed him. Inside the house was a passageway under the ruins. It was about seven feet wide and fifty feet long, I should judge. ' At the other end was the great old "75," poking Its nose out of a hole In the wall. The gun captain and the crew were sitting around waiting the word for action, and they seemed to know Brown well. I was surprised at Eskimos Said to Be Making ^Gratify. Ing Progress as s Result of'Mis- sionaries* Teachings? On Herschel island, where the sun shines continuously foi; eight weeks in summer, the Eskimos had a sun dance, not always clothed in the garments of propriety, a writer in an exchange says. They had an Idea that when the sun came back its movements were direct­ ed by an invisible power, but they had no tangible conception of a God. They had no belief in a future life, either of reward or punishment Today they are religious, truthful, kind to their children and to the aged. They are ambitious to learn; they are practical, extremely industrious, sanitary in their habits, well clothed and well housed. Insanity Is unknown, hut tu­ berculosis is common. ' T>»oy wh«!e !s r^rr.n;«: asu trap in winter. Tney are clever in tradiuK, good workers on land, water and Ice, and take excellent care of their house­ hold effects. Tools, if broken, are neatly repaired. When on Herschel island or at Fort McPherson, they eat the white man's* food with great rel­ ish. In summer they eat their fish and blubber raw and in winter frozen. They like food cooked, but it is a matter of Indifference to them.' They will bar­ ter for the white man's food, eat a hearty meal of it, and then go out and eat blubber and raw fish as dessert The contents of a deer's stomach they consider a great delicacy. Luxury Market Hard Hit *Dbn't try to sell luxuries In New Zealand." This is the advice United States Consul General Wlnslow gives American merchants in a commerce report No. New Zealand Is not pinched for money. Its wallet is well filled. "There is no particular necessity foi retrenchment," as the consul puts it, but the public is opposed to the pur­ chase of luxuries, especially luxuries that have to be imported, thereby us­ ing tonnage needed to bead off tht U-boats. Trinidad, too, and the whole of the British West Indies, Is abstaining from use of imported goods. This has caused the population to change its whole menu, for many foodstuffs were for merly Imported. Now the people ea1 home-grown plants that only the ani­ mals ate before.

The silhouette remains practically the same for autumn as It has been for two years. There Is enough In the fashions, however, to keep the public guessing and put it on the defensive. Things are not exactly as they were, although the fundamentals remain the stfme, , n The interesting development at the output of apparel for autumn is the fact that America makes a more defi­ nite change than does Paris. She ad­ vocates the frock with the instep- length skirt. She even lowers the hem of her tailored suits for the street. Paris does nothing of the kind. She takes advantage of the fact that the; government demands A Pel rrot top coat of beige-colored ve­ lours which has the revived barrel outline. It is trimmed with wide bands of Yukon seal and fastened with immense buttons of the fur. wool In clothes and cuts her skirts to such a height that it is improbable an American woman would wear them, unless she is in uniform, driving an au­ tomobile or doing other active work. France* as was said before, put out these short skirts with the plea that they were in co-operation with the gov­ ernment and that they were suggested by the short skirts worn by American women in the war service abroad; but those were uniforms that the American women wore. The French mind may not have grasped that we're not all in uniform over here and that those who do wear the regulation service costume have many other clothes In their ward­ robe to which they resort as soon as their war service hours are over. NEW FEATURES IN BLOUSES Qarment With Collar la Being Neg­ lected in Favor of the One That Is Collarlesa. If Is true that the collarlesa blouse Is here to stay, but so much is said to confirm this fact that the blouse with a collar Is rather neglected. This should not be, says Nugent's, for nev­ er before have collars been so inter­ esting. They are cut in fanciful uuu uppeor u» ncnus and sur- t-liees and hHn«j Hke mocks' hoods or form capes. Then, of course, there is the little collar which consists of hand-embroidered medallions set at in­ tervals around the round neck, and there is the horse collar, which is much narrower than formerly and really only a bias band used to finish off a too severe neck line. Volumes could be written about the frill, for It will be one of the features of the fall blouses. Certainly It is a becoming style. The frill, which is cut in deep points with edges picoted, ap­ pears as a collar on both georgette and1 cotton voile blouses. STRAIGHT, NARROW, SHORT Decidedly Abbreviated Skirt la Paria Dictum, According to Buyers for i ^Prominent Chicago House. •Straight and narrow and short-- oh, very, very short--" Is the Paris dictum this year. In fact, thd models brought back in the trunks of two buy­ ers for a Chicago firm, who have Just returned from their annual trip to Paris, had to be lengthened four to six Inches before IWng shown in that city. "The spirit of the French city Is In­ finitely better than a year ago," said one of the buyers. "It Is reflected In the styles of course and though the ft We have*worn"1 atrociously "short skirts, and even In the most polite cir­ cles, where one expected conservation, there have been unduly scant clothes worn on the plea that they were com­ fortable. One cared very little about it when the wearers were flappers, as the English put It but when they were women with gray hair whose figures had matronly curves and whose faces the lines that grandmothers often get, these ten and twelve-inch skirts were more than grotesque; they were in bad tuste.- / ' <-* The first delightful conviction that comes to the mind of the woman look­ ing for autumn clothes this month is the unchanged silhouette She will let the long and the short, skirt problem Ho fallow for a While, although in do­ ing this, she will make a mistake, for, if the entire world wears its skirts long by Thanksgiving the women who Sit In outer darkness will wail and gn&sh their teeth. They can put a hem on any skirt, it is true, and this may be a compromise between an old and a new fashion which witT of ne­ cessity be adopted over the land. Ii is, however, the continuance of the straight lihe that pleases women. Here an.f there it is broken Into bits by clever designers who wish to insist upon what is called the tonneau sil­ houette or the draped skirt but these are details. ; The fact of main importance is that even with the tohneau skirt or one ar­ ranged according to the tight pullback ilrapery of more than three decades ago, the waistline is big, the ankle line Is slhn, and the pencil outline from head to heels remains. Yet, considering these new fashions and realizing that they are possible winners in the race for a settled fash- Ion by Thanksgiving, the absorbing fact remains that the medieval gown is rampant. The long chemise tunic Is not as smart as the chemise frock. In truth, there are many houses that will not handle the long ttinlc at all, and yet they lay great stress upon the long coat, which has exactly the same effect. The short 'tunic, however, with its medieval waistline, If one may call so slight an indentation of the surface by the name of waistline, is exceedingly good. It Is shown on a great majority of American and French models. This tunic might be called the foundation stone of autumn cpstumery, for its lines are used for a jacket to a plaid akirt, a cuirass blouse to be worn with or without a coat, and a fur jacket to be worn with separate skirts or one- piece frocks. It hangs limply down the figure to a circular line halfway be­ tween knees and hips. Its hem is irreg­ ular, as all hems are, even on many of the new sleeves. But this is true of it, and it is a significant fact, that no matter how it Is made, or of what ma­ terial, It carries with it an exceed­ ingly narrow skirt. We have never worn just such a skirt as we will wear this autumn, and It is at its best under this short, mediaeval tunic. ^ \ Certain Debatable Fashlo^m^: If a woman bases her autumn pur­ chasing on these fundamental facts of costumery, she may not go far wrong, for by this time, she knows what the good materials are, as well as th« proper combinations of peltry and vari­ ous fabrics; but she may not be aware of the fatal facility that certain fash-, ions have shown for overpopularlty. She may want to avoid them for that reason, or she may want to adopt them. It all depends upon her viewpoint and lUtitude of tnind toward popularity as it is expressed in any form. (Copyright, 1918, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Georgette is still the leading fabric for the new models, but the new batle designs are charming and arlette crepe is rAuch In demand.
