Mud-stained blood-stained they bad come

alive and started to play baseball to pass

would know. At any time either aide
wants to concentrate It artillery on a
certain frontage of trench that rrnntage Is

can pish lis infantry In and take the dehris
The difficulty is to hsild it This time
the shells were crrmln from the front and
both sides. Aemrdinr to the ostial system
they were laid on both the front and the
support trenches with a curtain or fire
between the two.
"Tew know osa kind of country It la."

went on.

Nature at wan as the shells Is against

roofs and walls of sandbars. He cannot
dig cellar twenty real under the earth
and crawl into then when the "cloud-
burst of hell" descends aa In hilly and
mountainous country. So nobody ever has
food word to say about the Ypres salient
except the peasants. The soil Is rich.
"We had no order to go." said the offi-
cer. "We stuck."
They could not fir bark at those guns
thousands of yards away with their rifles
No one wss showing hi bead in the Oar-
trench opposite. If a man leaned
over a section of i.arapet remaining to fire
he and it might be blown sway by an-
other shell. The enly thing to do was for
man to find any kind of cover he
could In a fresh shell bole If no parapet
remained and wait. Messengers In such
Instances be It the British or German
side have one chance of five la surviving

Five hours of this! Then at t 30 In

That officer from Toronto gathered the
remnants of his command under the show
era or shrapnel bullet and In the midst
of geysers from the high explosive. Just
aa he waa stating the tornado suddenly
ceased. Thl meant the Oerman infantry
charge. At the Canadians started taking
what corar they could la a half obliterated
communication tronca they had a glimpse
over their shoulders of the Oerman ar
riving. Oerman rifle and machine gun
fire followed them on their way back to
the support trenches taking a final toll
then the British guns turned their tornedo
on the Oermana In their new positions and
the support tranche biased their rifle fire
Into Oerman charges.

pleased with the coat be wore when he
went through curtain of fir. A place or
hell had ent a big rant under the arm
without even penetrating through hi un
der shirt.
"Some luck ah:" be aald. "I had a hunch
I would come through alright when
started."
HI order ware to go up In reinforce
ment. He want. One shell struck In the
midst of a platoon and got only one man
That was "soma luck" too. Men fell but
the command went on to the counter at
tack.
"Those who are In the thick or It certainly
get It hot." aald another ofricer. "Each
company In the thick of It thinks for the
time being that It I fighting the whole
war. It casualty list looks pretty bad.
But when you take the losses of division
as a whole yon are surprised at the small
percentage."
