The"ofli'or 1 was driving was with
me at tin' t * 11 it * tlu* llrsl one burst. It
landed in tlx* Iia 1; yard of the house
we were in. and the force of the explo
sion sent us all in a Leap on the floor.
The officer decided that \ve would get
out of the place and liml some nice,
quiet spot to spend the night. We left
at once and went about live miles down
the road until we came to a tield am
bulance. We found that they had some
spare stretchers, so we decided to stay
there. The officer's servant carried
Stretchers in for all of us. and after
having something to cat we went right
to sleep, as we were tired out.
1 don't believe we had been asleep
more than an hour when a shell lauded
in that field ambulance! It tore through
the roof and burst in the room next to
us, killing and wounding eighteen men
who had already been wounded once.
I got up lu a hurry, but found that the
officer was before me, and when 1
reached the car he was making himself
comfortable in the tonneau. 1 took my
waternroof sheet and blankets and
made myself a lied on the cobblestones
under the car. I «!ept like a log until
it began to rain, and then I pot up In
disgust and sat up the rest of the night
in the driving seat.
The next day we stopped in a little [
village called I'radelles. the place
where the Germans had stood a priest
up against the wall of his own church
and shot hiui because he wouldn't give
them the information they wanted.
Across from this cliun h was a little
"estaminet," where I went to buy a
bottle of wine to have with my dinner.
You can Imagine my surprise when the
Frenchwoman in charge called me an
"English pig" and said that she would
sell nothing to the English. I told her
what I thought of her. and she told me
what she thought of me.
She said the English were thieves,
murderers and other nice things and
informed me also that the only true
gentlemen in the world were the Prus
sians. She certainly had me aroused,
and I was going to arrest every one I
could find in the house until her daugh

plained that the Germans had taken
her two youngest sisters away and that
since that time her mother had been
Insane.
It was outside of Pradelles that we
ran into the Germans and had a long:
distance scrap. We were not strong,
and we didn't know how strong they
were, so we were not pressing them
very hard until some re-euforcementa
came up. I think they were In the
same position, for they didn't try to get
to close quarters. So we kept at It all
afternoon until at night the Germans
retired, and we camped a little farther
on and waited for our main body to
come up. Our casualties numbered only
about twenty dead, and we burled them
In the churchyard before we left.
I passed through Pradelles about two
months later, and I went Into the
churchyard where those chaps were
burled. The people of the village have
set little white crosses at the head of
each grave. On each cross are the name,
number and regiment of the soldier
lyfng below, and under that Is "Mort
de la Champ d'Honneur." It was a
most thoughtful thing for those poor
peasants to do.
It was in a village called Outrasteene,
quite near Pradelles, that I first saw
the Prince of Wales. lie was with Sir
John French, aud they were review
ing a brigade that hadn't been In the
country very long. He is a nice look
ing fellow, but very boyish In appear
ance. He Is liked by the men and
quite often will go and sit among them
and talk to them.
Soon after this I received orders to
prepare for a two day Journey In the
car. I didn't know where I was to go
nntll the night before I was to start,
and then I was told that 1 was to go
to Paris to get an olHcer who was wait
ing for me there. Of course I was de
lighted, for I hadn't been In any large
city for a long time.
Tarls is more than 200 ml'.es from
whore we were then, aud my orders
were to make it In one day. While It
was a long journey, I felt that it would
be well worth It. so I set out with a
light heart. At Llllers I hit the main
Paris road, and it was glorious. There
Is no speed limit for a dispatch car,
and you bet I was living my blue and
white flag that day. .Straight down
through St. Venant, St. Pol. Doullens
and Amiens I flew, and at>out 6:30 I
came to the outskirts of Paris. I was
surprised on entering the capital to
find so few British soldiers. I knew
that we had several permanent bases
In the vlcinltv, and I expected to find
the place swarming with Tommies.

what was I going to do. Being on
ipeclal duty, I had a pass in niv pos

Belgium, and u flash of it. coupled
with the words "special duty," permit
ted me to go where I pleased. Ilad I

The defenses In Paris against hostile
aircraft attack were n revelation to
me. I never saw anything more
thorough In my life. Any of the more
"enturesome Germans who care to
nake an attempt against Paris are In
for a hot reception.
Two days after my arrival the officer
whom I was to take back to the front
said he was ready to start and to pre
pare the car for the return journey on
the morrow. The ride back was un
sventful, but when we arrived we
found that the headquarters were go
ing to be moved north across the Bel
flan frontier the next day. We were
to take over the Job of holding the
town of Poperlnghe, which the French
lad been occupying. We were then
taking over more front than we had
jeen holding previously.
At this time the roads were in a ter
rible condition. They are made of cob
blestones In the middle, but either side
Is nothing but mud, so after a few

We took Poperlnghe from the French,
tnd while we were moving in they
were moving out, and the two lines of
transport, each going over the same
road, resulted in some fine mlxups.
Eventually we urrived all right and
found that this place was much better
than Iiaz me!:, which we had left.
Hazebrouclf was the Junction of seven
railroad lines and consequently a popu
lar target for Gerrjm aircraft.
There was every facility for quarter
ing the men und horses, good offices
for tlie staff, and we were much nearer
the firing line at Poperinghe. In my
oar I have made the run from our
trenches to Poperinghe in less than
twenty minutes, so y'ou can see that we
wore not very far behind the actual
lighting.
