It would' K u6s\>'rd to say that we
were not frightened, TW»kJng men
could not help bjjt b« «fmi4. It we
were pallid, which undoubtedly we
were, the black upon our faces hid 1$,
but our fear struck voices were not
disguised. They trembled anil our
teeth chattered.
Wo sneaked out single file, making
our way from shell hule to shell hole,
nearly all tue time on ajl fours, shawl

not sighted u«, but tliey were squirting

promiscuously, |lk$ a i)i#(4 watering a
lawn with a garden hose, an«J (bey
were bound to get some of us. Behind
me I heard cries or pain and groan *
but it made little impression on ipy
benumbed Intelligence from the mere
fact that whatever had happened bad
happeued to one of the other sections
of ten and not to my own. It seemed,
some way or other, no affair to con
cern me. Then a man In front of me
doubled up suddenly and rolled into a
shrll hole- That simply made me ro
member very clearly that I was Oot
to stop on account of Jt. It was some

one else's business to pick that man
up. Next, according to the queer psy
chology of battle, I began to lo#e my
sensation of fear and nervousness.
After I saw a second ma# go down I
gave my attention principally to a con
sideration of the irregularities of the
German parapet ahead oI us, picking
out the si>ot where we were to enter
the trench. It seems silly to say lfc
but I seemed to get some sort of satis
faction out; of tiie realization that we
had lost the percentage which we
might be expected to lose going over.
Now, It seemed, the rest of us were
safe until we should reach the next
phase of our undertaking. I heard di
rections given, and I gave some my
self. My voice w as firm. Jt surprised
me, and I elt almost calm. Ouj ar
tillery had oo torn tip the German barb
wire that .. gave us no trouble at all.
We walked throygh it with only a few
scratches. When we reached the low,
sandbag parapet of the enemy trench
we tossed in a few bombs and fplow
ed them right ovpr as soon as they hod
exploded. Thate wasn't a German la
sight. The: were all lu their dugoqts.
But we knew pretty well where evqry
dugout was located, and we rushed for
the entrances with our bombs. Every
thing seeinid to be going Just as we
had expected it to go. Two Germans
ran plump into me as I was rounding
a ditch angle with a bomb In my hand.
They had t'.ielr hands up, and e«ch of
tnem j-ciioa:
"Mercy, kamerad!"
I passed them back, to be sent to the
rear, and live man, who received them
from me chuckled and told them to
move lively. The German trenches
were practically Just as we had
pected to find them, acco^dtoff to our
sample. They were sc>' pe&rijr similar
to the duplicate section In which we
had practiced that we had no trouble
finding pur way in them. I w*8 J^st
thinking that r^ajly th^e only tough
part of the job remaining WftuU}

when it seemed that the whole earth
behind me rose in the air. For a mo

was able to see. I-discovered that aH
wldch lay behind me was a mass of
upturned earth and rock, with here
and there a man shaking himself or
scrambling out of It or lying still
Just two minutes after w® went Into
their trench the Germans had explod
ed a mine under their parapet I have
vlways believed that In some or
mother tbey had learned «xrt
we were to raid and had prepared for
us. Whether that's true or not, ope
thing is certain—that mine blew our
organization, as we would say in Ken

or disabled more than half of oar
party. ... ....

Some oQp gay# o^der to retire, and
some one countermanded it. More
Germans came out of their dugouts,
but Instead of surrendering as per our
original schedule they threw bombs
amoug us. It became apparent that
we would be killed or captured If we
stuck there and that we wouldn't get
an;- more prisoners. I looked at my
wriat watch and s^w that tfjere re
malned but Ave minutes more of the
time which had been allotted for our

to be casualties—killed, wouudeJ or

longest. The names of those men were

since that some few of them liave been
reported through Switzerland as pris
oners of war In Germany, but most of
them are now ollklally listed as dead.
All of the survivors of the raiding
party wore senj twenty miles to the
rear at 7 o'clock, and the noncommis
sioned officers were ordered to make
reports In wrltlug concerning the en

There may be soldiers who won't

any of them yet I know a boy who

Vfben the Canadians first Introduced
bombing the bomba were Improvised
out of mesa tins, the fuses were cut
according to the taste and judgment
of the Individual bomber, and jusf
when the bomb would explode was
mare or less problematical. Frequent
ly tin* Germans have tossed our bombs
back into our trenches before tbey
we«t off. That was dangerous and Ir
ritating. They can't do that with a
Mills grenade or any of the Improved
factory made bombs, because the men
know JuBt bow they are timed and are
trained to know just how to throw
them. Then the Germans used to
work a little bomb trick of their own.
They learned that our scouts and raid
ers were all anxious to get a German
helmet as a souvenir. They'd put hel
mets on the ground In No Man's Land
or In an advanced trench with bombs
nnder them. In several cases men
looking for souvenirs suddenly became
mere memories themselves.
In several raids when bombing was
new the Canadians wortced a trick oa
the Germans with extensively fatal ef
fect . They tossed bombs Into the
German trenches with six Inch fuses
: attached. To tbft German" ih» look**

The Ignition spark will travel through
an lustuntanoous fuse at the rate of
thirty yards a second. A German would
pick up one of these bombs, select the
spot where he Intended to blow up a
few of us with our own ammonal and
then light the fuse. After that there
had to be a new man In his place.
The bomb would explode instantly the
long fuse was ignited.
The next day when I got up after
this disastrous raid my bunkie said:
"Something sure raised h— with our
calculations."

SALMON RESERVED
FOR USE OF ARMY
Seattle, — (.Mall)—Federal au
thorities have asked salmon pack
era to reserve 10 Instead of 6 per
cent of their pack of higher grade
fish for government uses. Thus
far this request applies to aock
eyea and Chinooks, but it is believ
ed among packers that 10 per cent
of the humpbacks or pinks will be
taken as well. I ; j ,
The estimate of 6 per cent for
government requirements was made
before the salmon run, when the
American Canning company's esti
mate of 8,000,000 cases of ting was
generally accepted as a conserva
tive estimate of the pack. On, this
basis federal officials believe that
6 per cent of thg salmon canned
on the Pacific coast would meet
all federal needs. i
Since the Puget Sound aockeye
pack has fallen off to approximately
25 per cent of the pack of 1913,,
there has been a general rvelsioa
of government requirements. Worhi
ing on a safe basis it has been de
clared to packers that a reservation
Of 10 per cent for government
needs may be required.
The Alaska pack ha« not yet
been reported, but should show a
slight increase. Reports from the
Columbia riven are indefinite. The
extent pf the Puget Sound pack
will not be known for two months.
The Tun of humpies, or pinks, now
is good, and apparently the fish
are approaching the height of the
run. if this Is true the fish will
continue to come for some time,
and the canners may have more ths
600,000 cases of pinks.
