My luck had hold good so far, and 1
deckled that I uilght as well push It a
little hit more, and so I got transferred.
I found that 1 was to be attached to
the staff of the Fifth army corps, but
as that corps was not yet In the coun
try I was used for anything that turn
ed up.
It became known that I could ride a
motorcycle, and so I was temporarily
attached as a spare rides to motor rou
chlue ciin section Xo. 3. These ma
chines are simply motorcycles with a
side car attached, but instead of a nice
cushioned seat on the side car there 1b

Impossible for so small a machine to

several practicc runs, and oue night
about 11 o'clock we were called to take
four of the guns up to the trenches in
a hurry.
I thought I had had some thrilling
rides in my time, but I never imagined
anything to equal that one. We car
ried no lights and had to tl.v through
the inky blackness, guessing at the
road. Several times we got stuck and
my mate and I dragged the machine
out of the ditch and tlcw on again.
Eventually we reached the place on
the Menln road known as "hell fire cor
ner," and I think the name must have
been given It from its condition that
night. As the star shells went up the
whole place would be almost as light
as day. The Germans were shelling
the road and the air was tilled with
all kinds of missiles.
That road was literally a death trap,
and how so many came out without be
ing touched is one of the mysteries that
never can be explained. We could hear
two of the 'runs which had got there
before us in action further up the road.
We continued to feel our way along
until we came to where our officer was
waiting for ns. He showed us our po
sition anil went back to look for the
machine that had not yet arrived.
Our position was in a ditch Just by
a place where the road had been cut
by an old support trench. We eased
the machine into the ditch and got her
firmly iixed. Uur officer came dash
ing back and told us to cover the road
where it led out from the German
trenches. Thon it was simply a case
of wait until they started to advance
from that quarter.
We sat there for two hours before
we saw any signs of activity, but
when it did come it came with a rush.
Hundreds of Germans seemed to rise
from nowhere, and that road was lit
erally crammed with them.
Dick, the gunner, opened at the first
sign, and the machine guns from our
trenches were pouring it into them
too. They went down in hundreds,
and, while our fire cheeked them some

what, they still came on. It was cer
tainly a despairing feeling to be

and see them still advance. After
several minutes of this the whistles

Jumped the parapet and went after
thein with the bayonet. They broke
the attack right there, and, more than
that, they took two lines of German
trenches.
A few days after this an Incident
occurred that, to my way of thinking,
was one of the most wonderful things
that ever happened. Volunteer dis

were called for. About eighteen of
our chaps offered themselves, aud of
course all were accepted. A dispatch

The most graphic account of the

along trio roilu wRicD f(Jifbws tBe bank
of the Yser canal. Tills road was con
stantly being swept by German ma
chine gun and rifle ire. The dispatch
was to be handed to a French com
mander who was waiting for It.
The tlrst man was given a copy of
the dispatch, and he started out with
It This road ran right under tb«
nose of the Germans and was in full
view of their trenches all th» way.
It was so swept by machine gun and
rifle fire that It seemed as If no on*
could possibly live through a hundred
yards of It
The first man started and was soon
out of sight They waited In vain for
a certain length of time for a signal
that he bed arrived, and then called
No. 2. No. 2 started out, but we law
blm go down before be had gone > bun*
dred yards.
Then No. 3 started. It was pitiful to
watch those poor chaps. When a man
knew It was his turn next I could see
the poor fellow nervously working oo
bid machine. He'd prime the engine,
then be'd open and close the throttle
quickly several times—anything, In
fact, to keep himself busy. When his
number would be called be'd hesitate
a second and perhaps flood the car
buretor, then he'd take his dispatch
and suddenly dash out.
Six of these fellows went down in
less thau half an hour. No. 7 was a
young fellow whoso name I don't know.
1 wish 1 did, for he was certainly the
nerviest man 1 ever saw.
"No. 7" was hardly out of the offi

minutes later the signal came that the
dispatch had been delivered.
My officer told me afterward that the
French general (o whom he had hand
ed tho dispatch bad taken the medallle
militaire olT his uwu breast and pinned
it on that of tills young dispatch rider.
He wns also Inter awarded the Victoria
cross and given a commission. It Is
things like this that mnke one proud to
belong to such an army.

SOON after this I received orders
to procecd by automobile to Aire
and wait for instructions. Aire
was at that time the headquarters of
the Indian contingent, and I was anx
ious to sec the Indians in action. After
two days' waiting there I got orders to
go to Boescheppe and report myself for
duty to Lieutenant MeNuIty. Boe
scheppe was not far away, so I started
at once and arrived beforo dark. I
found Lieutenant McNuIty without any
trouble, and he told nie to report to
him again the next morning, as he
would not want lue that day.
I found a cafe where there was room
for me, and I made myself comfortable.
The place was full of Indian troops, and
I was very much interested In them, as
they were the lirst I bud seen in France.

to see all tBere was to be soon, and'un
intentionally I stayed out after 8
o'clock. I was making my way back to
my billet along the middle of the road.
It was as dark as pitch, and 1 couldn't
see a yard in front of me. Suddenly I
bumped Into something, and quicker
than a flash two bauds closed around
my throat My mouth Just naturally
opened wide, and I .rolled "Friend!"
the loudest I ever yelled in my life.
Then a light shone In ray face, and I
saw it was a great big Sikh on sentry
go. As soon as he saw my uniform it
was all right, but I was shivering for
half an hour, and I vowed I'd never go
prowling around at night again as long
as I remained within the Indian lines.
The Indians are the most religious
people I ever saw. They seem to live
only for their religion, and all their ac
tions are governed by it. Their belief
in warfare is to ask no quarter and to
give none. They will fight until the last
gasp.
The Gurkhas l'ray to their koorkree,
the most murderous looking knife I
ever saw. They never draw that knife
unless they spill blood, and if you
want to see one of the weapons you
must let them cut your finger before
you may look at it. These Gurkhas are
supposed to be the best fighters of any
of the Indian troops, and in recognition
of this fact their pay Is Just 1 half
penny a day less than that of the white
soldier.
