I would have enjoyed it more If I could have got back at Frits somehow. But I was not the gunner officer and I told him so. I had to shout at him quite a while before he Would believe me. Then he wanted me to find the gunner officer, but 1 did not know where to find him. If I could have got to our guns I guess I would have had another medal for working overtime, but I missed the chance there. About this time another bomb came over and clouted out the best friend I had In my company. Before the war he had been one of the finest sing- era In the Paris opera houses. When he was with us he used to say that the only difference between him and Caruso was 92,500 a night. A pollu and I dragged him Into a dfigout, but it was too late. One side of his face was blown off; the whole right side of him was stripped off and four fingers of tbe right hand were gone. I stuck my head out of the dugout and there was the captain discussing the matter with himself, cursing the Germans from here to Helgoland and potting in a word for the bombs every once In a while. All up and down the trenches you could hear our men cursing the Germans In all kinds of languages. Believe me, 1 did my bit and I could hear somebody else using good old United States cuss words, too. It certainly did not make me feel any better, but It gave me something to do. I think that was why all of ua cursed so much then, though we were pretty handy with language at any time. Bat when you are under heavy fire like that and cannot give It back as good as you get, you gO craay nnless you have something to do. Cussing Is the best thing we could think of. Up the trench the third bay was simply smashed in and the Germans were placing bomb after bomb right ta It and In ours. The captain yelled out that he was going up to the next bay to examine it, but no more had he got there than he had his head taken clean off his shoulders. At daybreak our trenches were all pounded In and most of oar dugouts were filled up. Then Fritz opened up with his artillery fire right on us. We thought they were going to charge and we figured their barrage would lift and we could see them come over. We received orders to stand to with fixed bayonets. Then the man at the periscope shouted. "They come!" A battery directly behind us went into action first and then they all joined in and inside of five minutes about eight hundred guns were raising Gain with Fritz. The Boches were caught square In No Han's Land and our rifles and machine guns simply mowed them down. Many of them Came naif way across, then dropped their guns and ran for our trenches to give themselves up. They could not have got back to their own trenches. It was a shame to waste a shell on these poor fish. If they had been civ­ vies the law would prevent you from hitting them--you know the kind. They could hardly drag themselves along. That Is the way they look when you have got them. But when they have got you--kicks, cuffs, bayonet jabs-- there is nothing they will not do to add to your misery. They seem to think that it boosts their own courage. An artillery fire like ours was great fun for the gunners, but It was not much fun for Fritz or for us in the trenches. \Ve Sot under cover almost as much as Frits and held thumbs for the gunners to get through in a hurry. Then the fire died down and it was ao quiet It made you jump. We thought our parapet was busted up a good deal, but whwn we looked through the periscope we saw what bad happened to Fritz' trenches and, believe me, they were practically mined. Out in No Man's Land it looked like Wool worth's flve-and-ten; everywhere were gray uniforms, with tincups and aecouterments that belonged to the Germans before our artillery and ma­ chine guns got to them. Our stretcher bearers were busy, carrying the wounded back to first-aid dressing station, for, of course, we had raftered too. From there the blesses were shipped to the clearing station. The dead lay in the trenches all day and at night' they were carried out by working partiba to "Stiff park." as I called it. A man with anything on his mind ought not to go to the front-line trenches. He will be crazy Inside of a moafh. The best way la aot to care whether It rains or snows: there are plenty of important things to worry About ̂ CHAPTER'VIII. On Runner Service. One lalgbt a man named Bartel a Ad I were detailed tor runner service and were instructed to go to Dixmude and deliver certain dispatches to a man whom I will call the burgomaster and report to the branch staff headquar­ ters that had been secretly located in another .part of town. We were to travel in an automobile and keep a sharp watch as we went, for Dixmude was being contested hotly at that time and German patrols were in the neigh­ borhood. No one knew exactly where they would break out next. So we started out from the third- line trenches, but very shortly one of our outposts stopped us. Bartel car­ ried the dispatches and drove the car too, so it was up to me to explain things to the sentries. They were convinced after a bit of arguing. Just as we were leaving a message came over the phone from our commander, telling them to hold us when we came. It was lucky they stopped us, for oth­ erwise we would have been out of reach by the time his message came. The commander told me, over the tele­ phone, that if a French flag flew over the town the Coast would be clear; if a Belgian, that our forces were either in control or were about to take over the place hilt that German patrols were near. After this we started again. When We had passed the last post we kept a sharp lookout for the flag on the pole of the old fish market, for by this we would get our bearings-- and perhaps, If It should be a German flag, a timely warning. But after we were down the road a bit and had got clear we saw a Belgian flag whipping around in a good, strong breeze. But while that showed that our troops or the British were about to take over the place it also indicated that tbe Germans were somewhere near by. Which was not so cheerful. As we went through the suburbs along the canal which runs on the edge of the town we found that all the houses were battered up. We tried to hall several heads that stuck themselves out of the spaces between buildings and stuck themselves back just as quickly, but we could not get an answer. Finally we got hold of man who came out from a little cafe. He told ua that the Germans bad been through the town and had shot It up considerably, killing and wound­ ing a few inhabitants, but that shortly afterward a small force of Belgian cavalry had arrived and driven the Boches out. The Germans were ex­ pected either to return or begin a bom­ bardment at any moment and all ,the inhabitants who sported cellars were hiding in them. The rest were trying to get out of town with their belong­ ings as best they could. On reaching our objective we made straight foi* the Hotel de Yille, where we were admitted and after a short wait taken to the burgomaster. We questioned him as to news, fpr we had been instructed to pick up any Infor­ mation he might have as to conditions. . But we did pot get much, for be could not get about because of the Germans, who had made it a policy to terrorize the people of the town. We had just got Into the car and were about to start when the burgo­ master himself came running out. He ordered us to leave the car there and said he would direct us where to go. He'insisted that we go on foot, but 1 could not understand when he tried to explain why. We soon saw the probable reason for the burgomaster's refusal to ride In the car. All around for about a mile the roads were heavily mined and small red flags on iron staves were stuck between the cobblestones, as warnings not to put in much time around those places. Also, there were notices stuck up all around warning people of the mines and forbidding heavy carts to pass. When we got off the road'I breathed again! After a great deal of questioning we finally reached our destination made our report to the local command­ ant. We told him all we could and in turn received various information from him. We were then taken over to the hotel. Here we read a few Paris newspapers, that were- several weeks old, until about eight, when we had dinner, and a fine dinner it was, too. After we had eaten all we could, and wished for more room in the hold, we went out Into the garden and yarned a while with some gendarmes, and the® weAt to bed. We had a big room on the thud floor front We had Just turned in, and were all set for a good nlgbt'a rest, wbea. 4here waa an explo­ sion of at different:'l#tf - any I had heard hefbre, and we and the bed rocked about like a cahoe In the wake Of a stern-wheeler. \ Thgre were seven more explosions, and then they stopped, though we could hear the rattle of a . machine gun at some distance away. Bartel said it must be the forts, and after some argu­ ment I agreed With him. He said that the Germans must have tried an ad­ vance under cover of a bombardment and that as soon as the forts got into action die Germans breezed. We were not worried much, so we did not get out of bed. A few minutes later we heard foot­ steps on the roof, and then a woman in a window across the street asking a gendarme whether it was safe to go back to bed. Then I got up and took a look Into the street There were a lot of people standing around talking, but It was not^ Interesting enAugh to keep a tired man up, so back into the hay. It seemed about the middle of the night when Bartel called me, but be said it was time to get out and get to work. We found he had made a poor guess, for when we were half dressed he looked at his watch and it was only a quarter past seven, but we decided to stay up, since we were that far along, and then go down and cruise for a' breakfast When we got downstairs and found some of the hotel people it took them a long time to get it through our heads that there had been some real excite­ ment during the night. The explosions were those of bombs dropped by a Zeppelin, which had sailed over the city. The first bomb had fallen less than two hundred yards from where we slept. No wonder the bed rocked 1 It had ftruck a narrow three-story house around the corner from the hotel, and had blown It to bits. Ten people had been killed outright, and a number died later. The bomb tore a fine hole and hurled pieces of Itself several hun­ dred yards. The street Itself was filled with rocks, and a number of houses Were down, and others wreck­ ed. When we got out into the street and talked with some army men we found that even they were surprised by the force of the explosion. We learned that the Zepp had sailed not more than five hundred feet above the town. Its motor had been stopped just before the first bomb was let go, and it had slid along perfectly silent and with all lights out. The purr that we had thought was machine guns, after the, eighth explosion, was the starting of the motor, as the Zepp got out of range of the guns that were be­ ing set for the attack. The last bomb had struck in a large square. It tore a hole in the cobble­ stone pavement about thirty feet square and five feet deep. Every win­ dow on the square was smashed. The fronts of the houses were riddled with various sized holes. All the crockery and china and mirrors in the house were in fragments. Not much more than an hour before the Zepp came, we had been sitting in & room at the house of the local mili­ tary commandant, right under a big glass-dome skylight. This house was We Were Constantly Finding the Muti­ late 1 Bodies of Our Troops. now a very pretty ruin, and It was 1n«t as well that we left when we did. You could not even find a. splinter of the big round table. The next time I alt under a glass skylight in Dixmude, I want a lad with a live' eye for Zeppe­ lins on guard outside. Something about the branch head­ quarters ruins made us think of break­ fast, which we had forgotten, so back to the hotel. Then we started back to our lines. We were ordered to keep to the main road all the way back, or we would be shot on sight, and to re­ port to headquarters immediately on our return. I thought if the sight of me was so distasteful to anybody, I would not take the chance of offend­ ing, being anxious to be polite in such cases. So we stuck to the. main road. Fritz did not give us apy trouble and we were back by five, with all hands out to greet us when we hove in sight, and a regular prodigal son welcome on tap, for we were later than they bad expected us, and they had made up their minds that some accident had happened. While I was f round Dixmude, I saw many living meu and women and chil­ dren Who had Deen mutilated by the Germans, but most of them were wom­ en and children. Almost every one of the mutilated men was too old for military service. The others had been killed, I guess. But the Belglana^were net the only ones who bad suffered from German kultur. Many French wounded were tortured by -the Huns, and we were constantly finding the mutilated bodies of our troops. It was thought that the Germans often mutilated a dead body as an example to the living. The Germans had absolutely no re­ spect whatever for the Bed Cross. For instance, they captured a wagon load­ ed with forty French wounded, and shot every <w*. itf tham. iXaaw the dead bodies.* '- Whett igude they and chU<%<e( before them ihd with their hands air. mm who dtriai lll?l down. After a while some of what they were going to get as game sports as I ever heard of, tried to fight. They Were finished off at once, of course. The former burgomaster had been shot and finished off with an ax though he had not resisted, because h» wanted to save the lives of his citi­ zens. They told me of one case. In Dix- inude, where a man came out of his house, trying to carry his father, a ban of eighty, to the square, where they were ordered to report. The old man could not raise his hands, so they dragged his son away frOm him, knocked the old man in the head with an ax, and left him there to die. Those who were spared were made to dig tbe graves for the others. » There" was a doctor there In Dlx mude, who certainly deserves a mili­ tary cross if any man ever did. He Was called from his house by the tier' mans at 5:30 one morning. He left his wife, who had had a baby two days before, In the house. He was taken to the square, lined up against a wall with three other big men of the town. Then he saw his wife and baby being carried to the square on a mattress by four Germans. He begged to be al­ lowed to kiss his wife good-by, and they granted him permission. As he stepped away, there was a rattle and the other men went West They shot him, too, but though he was riddled with bullets he lived, somehow, and begged the German officer to let him accompany his wife to the prison kwhere they were taking her. This was granted too, but on the way, they heard the sound of firing. The soldiers yelled, "Die FranzosenT and dropped the mattress and ran. But it was only some of their own butchers at work. . Doctor Laurent carried his wife and baby to an old aqueduct that was being rebuilt by the creek. There they lived for three days and three nights, on the few herbs and the water that Doctor Laurent sneaked out and got at night Doctor Laurent .says that when the Germans killed and crucified the civil­ ians at Dixmude, they first robbed them of their watches, pocketbooks, rings and other things, lliere was a Madame Tilmans there, who had had three thousand francs stolen from her add was misused besides. These were just a very few of the things that happened at just one place where the Germans got to work with their "kultur." So you can picture the Belgians agreeing on a German peace, while there Is a Belgian alive to argue about it. They will remember the Ger­ mans a long time, I think. But they need not worry: there are a lot of us who will not forget, either. Depew ia wounded In a brush with Germans. 8ee next Install­ ment <TO 5® CONTINUED.) CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES French Employ Canine Courlera .Take Supplies to the Men H| . Moat Exposed Positions. ch warfare certainly interferes with thev fighter's meals. After cap­ turing the enemy's position in partic­ ular, is the fighter at a loss to know how he will get his regular rations: for no sooner does the enemy find himself dispossessed of his original trenches than he opens up with an in­ tense barrage fire designed to prevent ammunition and food from reaching the new occupants. The French army believes it has solved the problem of carrying food to men in isolated trenches. In its lunch dogs, says the Scientific American. Carrying light lunches and Coffee, and even cartridges for the men in the first line trenches when the combat is hot and protracted these splendid trained dogs are more certain to get through barrages than men. Each dog lr equipped with a sort of double bag. strapped tight over its body, and pro-1 vided with numerous pockets for food, coffee cans, ammunition and other sup­ plied. It Is at the military dog-training grounds at Paris that dogs are pre­ pared for this service. Not only ar» these four-legged couriers taught to avoid the enemy and beware of tricks but also to crawl on their stomachs In order to escape flying bullets. Special masks are provided for these dog* when they must pass through a pois­ on gas area. lili Spy System Originated %y Italian.: Secret service organizations and spy systems, as well as detective bu reaus as part of municipal poller forces, were originated by the Mar quis D'Argenson, a native of Yenlct who went to France in 1037 and be­ came head of the police department D'Argenson first, achieved fame as a state secret agent in Yenice. In Paris he organized a municipal secret agency that would now be called a de­ tective bureau. After he had trans­ formed the Paris police force from a. disorderly band into a highly efficient body of gendarmes, he turned his at­ tention to International affairs and in­ augurated a system of espionage in foreign nations likely to be at war with France. Carl Stieher organized the Prussian spy system on the model furnished by D'Argenson's force and sent thousands of men Into Austria and France be­ fore the wars against those countries. Sawa for Cutting Metal. , so very long ago -the discovery was "made in Germany that petals could be sawed easier and quicker with rapidly revolving smooth djisks of steel, than with toothed circular saws. It was found that the cutting was done by the heat generated by the friction of the edge of the disk ag-tlnst the metui. The metal is malt­ ed nt the point of contact, while the steel of the disk, being cooled by the uir, does not reach the melting point The disks need no sharpening and do not wear out *o quickly as the toothed saws heretofore us^d for catting met­ al.

Field Marshal von Hlndenburg has placed himself and the German army at the disposition of the new people's government at Berlin, says a dispatch from the German capital. • The grand duke of Oldenburg has been dethroned and the grand duke of Mecklenberg-Schwerin has abdicated, according to dispatches from Ham­ burg.
