Motors with an olTicer through Ypres to
Potlzze amid bursting shells and bombs
dropped from aeroplanes. A terrible ride.
He Picked It Up and Came Dashing
Into Camp With It.
We found our car whore' we had left
it, and we were back at headquarters
before dark. Uu the way back the old
colonel made a remark that I believe
he really meant. He said: "I've en
Joyed these two days immensely, and
it brought hack the days of my youth.
Fate has decreed that my body shall
remain in England, but God knows
that my heart lies with you boys out
here in the trenches."
A rather funny thing happcued soon
after this which shows what a man
who doesn't know the ropes will do
when he gets excited. There was a
very strict order to the effect that no
man other thau one detailed for the
work should touch or in any way dis
turb an .unexpioded enemy's shell. A
heavy penalty was imposed for dis
obeying this order, and no one but a
man who didn't know any better would
think of doing it.
A new regiment came up and went
straight into rest camp before going
into action. A private in this regiment
happened to run across an unexpioded
shell one day, and, being the tirst he
had ever seen, he was greatly excited.
He picked it up and came dashing into
camp with it. Before showing it to
any one else who knew any better he
went straight to his commanding offi
cer to exhibit his And.
"Oh, look what I found sir," he said.
"It's a German shell that hasn't ex
ploded."
"Is it really?"' said the officer. "Well,
I'll tell you what you can do with it.
You will take it into that field, and you
will dig a hole five feet deep, and you
will bury your find there, providing, of
course, it doesn't explode in your hands

You may be sure that that man never
so much as looked nt an unexploded
shell after that.
During the time I was at the front I
put six automobiles out of commission.
According to an estimate made after a
year of war. the average life of an au
tomobile is eight days and the life of a
horse is about thirty hours.
The first auk. I lost was due to en.
glue trouble, aud I had to abandon It
for the salvage companies to take care
of. The second one was destroyed by
a shell in the city of Ypres while I was
having some dinner. The third one I
lost during the scrap for hill 60. I got
stuck In the middle of a field, and as it
was in doubtful position 1 set fire to it
and trusted to luck that I had done the
right thing. The other three were used
up by the fearful condition of the roads.
We knew several days before the at
tack came on hill CO that there was
something in the wind. Our mining
and tunneling companies had been
working day and night, and I noticed
that the artillery seemed to be concen
trating in that vicinity. Re-enforce
ments were brought up, and everything
seemed to point toward some doings in
the near future.
Two days before the attack came off
1 was warned to hold myself in readi
ness to take a motorcycle machine gun
into action, but 1 was not told any
thing about when I was likely to b«
wanted.
Hill CO Itseir iiuu nanny any ngui so
be called a bill, fur to me It looked
like a little rising ground and that's
all, but we had ninety-two batteries of
artillery playing all over it, and they
kept up the heaviest possible bombard
ment for thirty-five minutes. When
you think of 308 cannon pouring shells
Into such a small place as one little hill
It may give you some Idea of what we
gave the Germans who were trying to
hold It against us.
The bombardment stopped as abrupt
ly as it started, and as soon as It ended
the mines we had laid under the hill
were set off. The earth seemed to
tremble for a moment, and then came
a great rumbling roar, followed by an
upheaval of earth which seemed to
reach the clouds. The momeut the
mines had been set off our chaps left
their trenches 011 tho dead run, and
they charged across the crater where
bill 00 had been but a few moments
before.
The heavy artillery fire we bad given
the Germans had partly demoralized
them. The explosion of the mines fin
ished the Job, and they fled like sheep.
Our machine gnu was pouring steel
Into them for a few moments, but we
bad to stop, as our own men were pur
suing them, and It was not safe to con
tinue our tire any longer. It was all
over In a very short time aud, while
we had to stand by a:i u!ght, our work
did not lust long during the actual
battle.

first 'leave" to'go fo England for n rest
of seven days, and though this is sup
posed to be a story of experiences
while on the lighting front, I will re
late something that happened while I
was In Glasgow, Scotlaud.
Of all the cities In the British Isles
Glasgow has sent more men to the
front than any other In proportion to
her size. The business firms of the
city encourage their men to enlist and
do all they can to make things easy for
them to leaTe their families. In many
caaea Arms continue to pay men their
■alarles while they are at the front
The street car company In Glasgow
has sent thousands, and their places
are taken by women while the men are
away.
Not only are there women conductors
on the street cars, but women drive the
cars too. When one arrives at the sta
tion In Glasgow it seems very odd to
have a woman step up and ask to carry
your bag. Women have taken the
places of the porters In the stations.
Scotland has responded nobly to the
country's call. In many of the small
Tillages the entire male population has
gone to the war, excepting, of course,
the men who are too old or those who
ar« physically unfit. *
In the British isles during this war a
freat many of the women have been
"helping recruiting" by walking the
streets and putting a white feather In
the buttonhole of every man they meet
who Is. not WiirlP/iikisakl.
