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 markmanshlp wins him high honors. Later he is transferred to the land forces and sent to the Flanders front. He gets his first experience In a front line trench at Dixmude. He- goes "over the top" and gets his first German in a bayonet fight While on runner service, Depew Is caught in a Zeppelin raid and has an exciting experience. Ik* - ".A U ' CHAPTER IX- ,/K' 4 , --7-- M'. • - $?: V;, f (CiM Up for Repair*#* '/>*••• One night, after I had been at DIx- nrade for about three weeks, we made a charge in the face of ft" very heavy fire. Oar captain always stood at the parapet when we were going over, and made the sign of the cross and shouted, •'For God and France." Then we would go over. Our officers always led us, but I have never seen a German officer lead a charge. They always were be­ hind their men, driving instead of lead­ ing. I do not believe they are as brave as they are said to be. Well, we went over this time, and the machine guns were certainly going kt strong. We were pretty sore about the chaplain and the Swiss and all that, and we put up an awful fight, but mm eould not make It and had to come fmdE. Only one company reached the tooche trenches and not a man of It came hade who had not been wounded on the way and did not reach the trench. They were Just wiped out The captain was missing, too. We thought he was done for, but about two o'clock In the morning, he came hack. He simply fell over into the trench, all In. He had been wounded jfonr times, and had lain in a shell full of water for several hours, would not go back for treatment when daylight came, It was jhw late, because we were practically icut off by artillery fire behind thefroof fclae treNbes. " InyUght came, the artillery up right on us, and the had advanced their lines into trenches formerly held by us and forty-five yards away. We re- bombs and shells right in our A Tunisian in our company got and ran back over the parados, ran a few yards, then stopped and ted back at us. I think he was coming to his senses, and would have ted back to us. Then the spot he had been was empty, and a later his body from the chest down fell not three yards from the jporadoa. 1 do not know where the part went That same shell cut a In the low hilltop before It ex- Be had been hit by a big and absolutely cut in two. I •een this happen to four mat, but was the only one in France. seven o'clock, we received re- and poured fresh troops lover and retook the trench. No sooner 'had we entered it, however, than the Germans turned their artillery on us, (not W«s waiting for their own troops jto retire safely. They killed numbers k their own men In this way. But the jlfcre was so heavy that, when they coun- ittacked, we had to retire again, this time they kept after us and us beyond the trench we had ilijr occupied. We left them there, with our artil- jlery taking care of them, and our ma­ chine guns trying to enfilade them, and moved to the right There was a (bunch of trees there, about like a small If©,,.. f* t*-. ?>* if"'}., '<*• . e- for <}»d '4nd France. . .iMods, and as we passed tbe Germans concealed In it opened flre on us, and we retired to some reserve trenches. We were pretty much scattered by this itlme, and badly cut up. We reformed •there, and were Joined by other of our troops, in small groups--what was left of squads and platoons and singly., Our captain had got it a fifth time,' meanwhile, but he would not leave us, as he was the ranking officer. He had 41 scalp wound, but the others were in his arms and shoulders. He eould not Wove his hands at all. ^. . . But he led our charge when we ran the woods. We carried some ma- tine guns with us as we went and gunners would ran a piece, set up, while we opened up for them, and on again. Some troops came out still farther to the right ttd, mod we drove tbe Ger­ mans out of the woods and occupied it Ourselves. • From there, we had the Germans in our old trench almost directly from the rear, and we simply cleaned them out I think all the vows Were kept that day, or else the m«si who made them died first I was shot through the thigh some time or -other after the captain got back. It felt just like a needle-prick at first, and then for a while my leg was numb. A couple of hours after we took our trench back, I started out for the rear and hospital. The wound had been hurting for some time. They car­ ried the captain out on a stretcher about the same time, but he died on the way from loss of blood. Fresh troops came up to relieve us, but our men refused to go, and though official­ ly they were not there in the trench, they stayed until they took the cap­ tain away. Then, back to billets--not bullets, this time. I believe that we re­ ceived an army citation for that piece of work, but I do not know, as I was in the hospital for a short time after­ ward. I do not remember much about going to the hospital except that the ambulance made an awful racket going over the stone-paved streets of Etaples, and that the bearer who picked up one end of my stretcher, had eyes like dead fish floating on water; also, that there were some civvies standing around the entrance as we were being carried in. The first thing they do in the hos­ pital is to take off your old dirty bandr ages and slide your stretcher under g bis electric magnet A doctor comes in and places his hand over your wound, and they let down the magnet over his hand and turn on the juice. If the shell fragment or bullet In you Is more than seven centimeters deep, you cannot feel the pain. The first doctor reports to the chief -how deep your wound is, and where it is situ- f ated, and then a 'nurse comes up to you, where you lie, with your clothes still on, and asks you to take the "pressure." Then they lift you on a four-wheeled cart, and roll you to the operating the­ ater. They take off your clothes there. I remember I liked to look at the nurses and surgeons; they looked so good in their clean white clothes. Then they stick hoi lo%v needles into you, which hurt a good deal, and you take the pressure. After a while, they begin cutting away the bruised and maybe rotten flesh, removing the old cloth, pieces of dirt, and so forth, and scraping away the splinters of bone. You think for sure you are going to bleed to death. The blood rushes through you like lightning, and if you get a sight of yourself, you can feel yourself turning pale. Then they hurry you to your bed, and cover you over with blankets and hot-water bottles. They raise your bed on chairs, so tbe blood will run up toward your head, and after a while, your eyes open and the doctor says, "Out, oul, il vivra," meaning that you still had some time to spend -before finally*gclng west. The treatment we got In the hospital was great. We received cigarettes, to­ bacco, matches, magazines, and clean clothes. The men do not talk about their wounds much, and -everybody tries to be happy and show it. The food was fine, and there was lots of it I do not think there were any doc­ tors in the world better than ours, and they were always trying to make things easy for us. They did riot rip the dressings off your wounds like some of the butchers do In some of our dispensaries that I know of, but took them off carefully. Everything was very clean and sanitary, and some of the hospitals had sun parlors, which were well used, you can be sure. Some of the men made toys and fancy articles, such as button hooks and paper knives. They made the handles from empty shell enses, or shrapnel, or pieces of Zeppelins, or anything else picked up along the front When they are getting well, the men learn harness making, mechanical drawing, telegraphy, gardening, poul­ try raising, typewriting, bookkeeping and the men teach the uurses how to make canes out of shell cases, and rings of aluminum, and slippers and gloves out oi blankets. The nurses certainly work bard. They always have more to do »h«n they ought to, but they never complain, and are always cheerful and ready to play gumes when they have the time, or read to some poilu. And their work is pretty dirty too: I would not like to have to do it. They say there were lots of French society ladies working as nurses, but you never heard much about society, or^ny talk about Lord Helpus, or Count Whosis, or pink teas or anything like that from these nurses. A few shells landed near our hos­ pital,.while I was there, but no patient was hit They knocked a shrine of Our Lady to splinters, though, and bowled over a big crucifix. The kitchen was near by, and It was Just the chef's luck that he had walked over to our ward to see a pal of his, when a shell landed plutab in tbe center of tbe 0V. and all you could see all over the bar­ racks was stew. That was a regular eatlesa day for us, until they rigged up bogles and got some more dixies,: and mixed up some cornmeal for us. The chef made up for it the next day, though. The chef was a great little guy. Bte was a "blesse" himself, and I guess bis stom­ ach sympathized with ours. ' There was a Frenchman In tbe bed next to me who had the whole side of his face torn off. He told me he had been next to a bomber, who had Just lit a fuse and did not think it was burning fast enough, so he blew on it It burned fast enough after that and there he was. There was a Belgian in one of tbe other wards, whom I got to know pretty well, and he would often come over and visit me. He asked many ques­ tions about Dixmude, for he had had relatives there, though he had lost track of them. He often tried to de­ scribe the house they had lived in, so that I might tell him whether it was still standing or not, but I could not remember the place he spoke of. Dur­ ing our talks, he told me about many ntrocities. Some of the things he told me I had heard before, and some of them I heard of afterward. Here are some things that he either saw or heard of from victim?: He said that when the Gertnans en­ tered the town of St Quentin, they started firing into the windows as they passed along. First, after they had oc­ cupied the town, they bayoneted every workingman they could find. Then they took about half of the children that they could find, and killed them with their musket butts. After this, they marched the remainder of the chlltJ dren and the women to the square/ where they had lined up a row of male citizens against a wall. The women and children were told that if they moved, they would all be shot An­ other file of men was brought up, and made to kneel In front of the other men against the wall. The women and children began to beg for the lives of the men, and lhany of them were knocked in the head with gun butts before they stopped. Then the Germans fired at the double rank of men. After three volleys, there were eighty-four dead and twenty wounded. Most of the wounded they then killed with axes, but somehow, three or four escaped by hiding under tbe bodies of others and playing dead, though the officer* walked up and down firing their revolvers into the piles of bodies. - The next day the Germans went through the wine cellars, and shot all the inhabitants they found hiding there. A lot of people, who had taken refuge In a factory over night decided to come out with a white flag. They were allowed to think that the white flag would be respected, but no sooner were they all out than they were seized and the women publicly violated in the square, after which the men were shot. A paralytic was shot as he sat in his arm-chair, and a boy of fourteen was taken by the legs and pulled apart At one place, a man was tied by the arms to the ceiling of his room and set afire. His trunk was completely car­ bonized, but his head and arms were unburned. At the same place, the body of a fifteen-year-old boy was found, pierced by more than twenty bnyonet thrusts. Other dead were,; found with their hands still In the air, leaning up against walls. At another place the ..Germans shelled the town for a day, and then entered and sacked it The women and children were turned loose, with­ out being allowed to take anything with them, and forced to leave the town. Nearly five hundred men were deported to Germany. Three, who were almost exhausted by hunger, tried to escape. They were bayoneted and clubbed to death. Twelve men, who had taken refuge in a farm, were tied together and shot In a mass. Another group of six were tied together and shot, after the Germans had put out their eyes and tortured them with bayonets. Three others were brought before their. wives, and children and sabered. The Belgian told me he was at Na- mur when the Germans began shelling it The bombardment lasted the whole of August 21 and 22, 1914. They cen­ tered their flre on the prison, the hos­ pital, and the railway station. They entered the town at four o'clock In the afternoon of August 23. During the first twenty-four hours, they behaved themselves, but on the 24th they began firing at anyone they pleased, and set fire to different houses on five of the principal squares. Then they ordered every one to leaye his bouse, and those who did not were shot The others, about four hundred in all, were drawn up in front of the church, close to the river bank. The Belgian said he could never forget bow they all looked. • *" "I can remember Just how it was," he said. "There were eight men, whom I knew very well, standing In a row with several priests. Next came two good friends of mine named Balbau and Guillaume, with Balbau's seven- teen-year-old son; then two men who had taken refuge In a barn and had been discovered and blinded; then two other men whom I bad never seen be­ fore. "It was awful to see the way tbe women were crying--'Shoot me too, shoot'me with my husband." "Hie men were lined up on the edge Of the hollow, which runs from the high road to the bottom of the village. One of them was leaning on the shoul­ ders of an old priest, and he was cry­ ing, 'I am too young--I can't face death bravely.* "I couldn't bear the sight any ledger. I turned my bade to the road and cov ered my eyas. I heard tbe volley and the bodies falling. Then some one cried, 'Look, they're all down.' Bat a few escaped." This Belgian had escaped by^sidlng --he could not remember how many days--In an old cart filled with manure and rubbish. He had chewed old hides for food, had swam across the river, and hid in a mud bank for almost a week longer, and finally got to France. He took It very hard when'we talked about Dixmude, and I told him that the old church was just shot to pieces. He asked about a painting called the "Adoration of the Magi," and one of the other prisoners told us it had been saved and transported to Germany. If that' Is true, and they do not destroy it meanwhile, we will get it back, don't worry 1 My wound was just a clean gunshot wound and not very serious, so, al­ though it was not completely healed, Hew York.--Wherever merchants are foregathered, writes a fashion 'cor­ respondent, them is talk, Interesting talk, concerning the prices that women pay for clothes this season.

But before I went, I saw something that no man of ns will ever forget Some of them took vows just like the men of the legion I have told about One of the patients was a German doctor, who had been picked up in No Man's Land, very seriously wounded. He was given the same treatment as any of us, that is, the very best, but finally, the doctors gave him up. They thought he would die slowly, and that it might take several weeks.

ENDS ONE NOISE OF CITIES Invention of Philadelphia Man Does With Racket When Car* " • Cross Intersection^ • •, The problem of suppressing tbe noise and shock of we street car in passing over an intersection has been attacked In a novel manner by a Phil­ adelphia inventor, Samuel B. Meeker,1 who accomplishes the object without the use of any of the moving and in­ terlocking parts which characterize most of the inventions for this pur­ pose, and without making any great changes In the design of Jlie crossing Itself. The latter Is constructed in one piece or unit, and at a point slight­ ly In advance of tbe intersection of the rail sections. 4 Each rail section is formed .with the race or tne rail cut away in an incline which allows the weight of the vehicle to pass from the base of the wheel to the flange on which It continues for a few feet, until the wheels have passed entirely over the intersection, when the weight of the car again passes to the base of the wheel. This change ia so gradually accomplished that It is not noticeable to the passengers and the car passes over the crossing without Jolt or noise. The latter Is a matter of great Importance to persons living in the vicinity of such intersections, for the pounding of the cars over them at night comprises a serious ance. From Old Tins, $900,000. * A conference, representative of mu­ nicipal and other local authorities In the Midlands, was held at Birmingham recently by arrangement with the na­ tional war salvage council to consid­ er the question of the utilisation at waste. The lord mayor of Birmingham, who presided, stated that in Birmingham 600 tons of old tins were collected an­ nually by the refuse disposal depart­ ment, and that the recovered tin was sold at $1,500 a ton. The sum of $35,- 000 was obtained from the sale of re­ covered waste paper. Food for poul­ try and pigs was made from material from the corporation slaughter houses ,* condemned fish and meat were con­ verted into valuable manure*; fat utilized for soapmaklng.

Why? The act is not explained by the word "extravagance." It is level-head­ ed conservation. It does not take a woman wltji ex­ traordinary shrewdness to know that cheap materials are not lasting. No­ body ever bought them with the belief that they would carry one with satis­ faction throughout the season. They wei*e bought by women who preferred to spread a small income over many cheap costumes; women--and America Is filled with them--who like to vary their costume every day or every two months rather than be compelled to wear the same thing throughout the weeks of a settled season. It Is their form of getting stimulation. Wisdom in Buying Gowns. It' is, no doubt, an actual hardship for a large mass of American women to deny themselves the pleasure of a constant procession of clothes at small prices, but they must economize in this, as in food. A cooking expert has said that there are no such garbage palls in the world ns here; that the kings of Europe did not have such gar­ bage as the factory woman in the tene­ ment districts of this country discards. This, It Is true, has stopped; and even when garbage Is plentiful, showing a spirit that is not unpatriotic but ig­ norant of thrift, then .the government steps in and gets all sorts of things PILLOW FROM LINEN SCRAPS Pecoration, .With Simple Display of Artwork, Affords a Bit of Unique Embellishment There, is a brand new pillow idea and one which will not cause your conscience to prick one little bit for wartime extravagance. The pillow can be made from scraps of linen in the house. It should be two-toned, with a border of the darker linen about four or five inches wide around the entire front or tne pillow traming an eight-inch square of lighter linen. The back may be either* of the light or dark, whichever you have tbe moat of. Now, in the center of the email square comes your chance to show Just how much of an artist you really are. From the darker linen cut out the silhouette of a rare animal---a nursery bobk will offer inspiration.

Ribbon, both velvet and gros- grtiln, Is sometimes the sole trimming for a smart tailored hat. There are berets and trlcornes and quite a few pokes--the last really delicious. The new henna or mahogany, beige, brown, and a little of the gorgeous sapphire blue--these seem to be the, lading millinery tints, v useful to the wqr out of the pall that once was nosed by the dogs and dumped Into oot$r darkness. Why Wome^fiiy With Care. ' So even though the American woman may not wish to wear one good cos­ tume throughout the season, ber pa­ triotism commands her to do it This Is the kernel of the entire situation. She buys In order that her clothes may last. She does not wish to take the time to constantly mend cheap clothes and renew them at odd moments. She has gone back to the ways of her great-grandmother, who 'chose mate­ rial carefully and in many lights, paid a good price for it, and expected It to live up to Its reputation. A woman who goes into a shop this season to buy an every-day gown, pays $30 where she once paid $18 for It. This is as near the average figure as the shops can get She asks if the material will wear, !f it will hold Its dye, if the seams and stitchery are good, and when she finds that they are just what they «nce were, but that they are not up to her modern stand­ ard Of purchasing, she adds $10 or $15 to the price and bujs, another gown that suits her Judgment No one is happier over the state of ^ affairs than the shopkeepers. They prefer to sell fewer gowns at good prices, for, while it is hot necessary to renew them in a few months they give greater satisfaction to both ties. 8tyles That Remain With USL . The continuance of the chemise frock and the sandwich silhouette has given comfort to many women, because it allows them to wear, for a time, the frocks they possess. Whether or not this silhouette will die out as the season strengthens, no prophet can tell us ; but there Is uneasiness among those who watch fashions closely. Everywhere one finds a tendency to widen the hips. We are trying to get a peg-top silhouette as opposed'to a planked shad silhouette. If this change comes about, the straight chemise frocks or tunics will not have as much value as they have today. It is not only the Americans, but also the French, who have proposed this silhouette. It is not universal; one sees a continuance of the straight line on the great majority of French and American clothes, but with more tendency toward the peg-top outline In the home-made things than In the for­ eign ones, except from houses like Callot The reason for this innovation is due to the military and it is strange that it did not occur before the fourth year of war. We have admired the silhouette of mannish wide hips and narrow ankles for many months With­ out thought of introducing it in wom­ en's clothes. Now it is here and it is carried out in almost the Identical manner that the military tailors use with men's trousers. Simplicity vs. Ornamentation. * Another subtle change that has come across the sky of fashions since the first French styles were shown Is a tendency to eliminate . much of the trimming with which the season began. There was an overelaboration of rich and massive embroidery, of tassels, of colored facings, of strips of me­ tallic ribbons, and of other strange and capricious gewgaws that the mind can invent when large ideas are lack­ ing. The universality of all this or­ namentation, such, for instance as miles of fringe, was Its own undoing. It bordered, dangerously, on the ugli­ est period of mid-Victorianlsm. It gave one an unpleasant memory, even If a far-off one, of berlbboned milk stools and frying pans in the parlor.
