HELL’S ACRES—
(Continued from Page 1.)
ns they saw the chance, and then mov-
ing out of our way, or elae giving up.
Farther ahead was the German ar-
tillery showering us with shells. Above
us were the German planes, but we
saw no allitd planes.
We stopped about noon and ate our
reserve rations, with the shells drop-
ping around us, and the machine gun
bullets whizzing around.
With Mr. Cornell transferred we still
have Captain Heck and Lieutenants
Shephird, Corriveau, Vose and Mahon-
ey.
With a lull in the shooting the ad-
vance continues. W. were almost on
tho extreme left. As a machine gun
fired, we all dropped while a few men
off the left end went after it. Those
who were not killed or wounded try-
ing to get it would later rejoin the
company.
One close by started on us. Bill
Engel, Jimmy McKean, Bnrczykowski,
a couple of new men and I went after
it. We scouted around in the woods
on the left but couldn’t find it.
We were about to give it up and
rejoin tho company when a burst of
bullets came along and hit one of the
new men in the leg. Down h; went.
We called. “First nid. Fifty-fifty
company stretcher bearer,” and they
came running to us. The first aid man
dressed the wound while we lay on our
stomachs facing the gun and looking
for something at which to shi ot.
The wounded man lay on the stretch-
er and the bearers were about to pick
him up when a shell exploded real close
and we heard the fragments whirring
through the air toward us. We lay
perfectly still, making ourselves as
small as possible.
The rear stretcher bearer stayed on
his feet, perfectly still, and apparent-
ly not moving a muscle. With a thud
the fragment hit him in the calf of
the ltg and down he went.
One of our fellows took his place
and the stretcher went to the rear. We
calUd for another, and very soon the
wounded stretcher bearer was on his
way to the rear too; and wo went to
join the company. Such a business.
We reached them just as they were
going over the top of a hill. As we
advanced down this hill we entered a
small evergreen forest. Seven foot
trees planted in rows that ran the di-
rection we were going. The rows were
about ten feet apart.
We could not see very far to the
light or left on account of these trees,
but we could see ahead. A half mile
ah-ad was the bottom of the hill, and
a mile away was the top of the next
hill.
We got about a thousand feet down
this hill with apparently no opposition.
Then ail hell broke loose.
“Dig in!” shouted Captain Heck.
As we dug the shells from the Ger-
man artillery on the next hill rained
on us. Machine guns somewhere off
on our left shot at us by calculation.
Men dropped with bullets in them.
The artillery made dir.ct hits on some
of the newly begun holes and men and
blank ts went up in the air.
Lieut, nant Mahoney was killed and
Captain Heck was hit in the neck, and
it was evident that it would be only a
matter of minutes before we would be
practically annihilated.
The h-spital apprentices dressed
wounded as if they were home, pay-
ing no attention to shells or bullets.
One of them dressed the wound in the
captain’s neck and said, “Captain,
you’ll have to go to the rear.”
"I can’t,” was the reply. “What will
become of my men?”
“Don’t know, but you are going to
the rear,” he was told.
He saw what was going on; that we
were in a trap, so he shouted, “Fall
back!”
“By whose orders?” shouted 'the
men.
“By order of Captain Heck,” was tho
answer.
And so the heartbreaking retirement
began. Whi n the men saw a chance
they started. The wounded wore put
on stretchers. When they were all
gone, packs were undone and the
wounded put in blankets and carried
to tho rear.
One man crawled ground on hia
hands and knees with half his face
gone. He was wrapped up and four
men started to the rear with him in a
blanket.
Not many were left, und so I start-
d. Too muny dead men sprawled
around here for me to want to Btay.
Our company was in a small grove
of trees on the right of a road. The
men had already begun to dig in, and
nil were busy except Jerry Bavin. He
was hammering the ground with his
shovel and saying half aloud, “Dog-
gone it. Wouldn’t that get your goat.”
We nil hated to give ground, but
there sec med no other way, and so af-
ter a while Jerry was reconciled and
began to dig,
Jimmy McKean said, “This is worse
I hail Bellcau Woods. I hope it doesn’t
last as long.”
The other companies are scattered
out in the various small groves around
us. One of them is just across the
road.
Jimmy McKean, Jerry Davin, two
others and I dug a long hole for the
five of us. If we stay in it we will bo
safe enough as long as a shell does
not drop right in on us. If one should,
it wili be curtains for all of us.
Mr. Shepherd is now company com-
mander. Mr. Corriveau still has our
first platoon, Mr. Vose the fourth, and
the other two platoons are led by ser-
geants.
Mr. Corriveau and Sergeants Brit-
ton and Marco dug in right next to us.
They dug an odd shaped hole, six by
six by two feet deep. It also seemed
nn odd thing to do, to put the three
main men of the platoon in the same
hole. I spoke about this to the men
in the hole with me, and they agreed
that if anything happened to one it
would probably get all three.
By dark the Germans had learned
that instead of going all the way back
to our starting place we had stopped
in the groves only a thousand feet
back, and so they began to shell us<.
Barczykowski had inhaled some gas
and so he left for the rear with the
snot running out of his eyes and nose.
What a sight.
We now had no line. Just groups
of men in the groves and no particu-
lar connection between the various
groups. The other companies have
probably fared about the same, and the
dope is that the major and adjutant
were both wounded. If that is so, the
Second batallion is now a bunch of en
listed men and a few shavetails.
A hard boiled shavetail came over
the hill and asked why we were not
advancing. We tried to tell him what
had happened, but he only said, ‘That’s
no excuse,” and making a few nasty
remarks he went on down the hill
look over the ground.
I wonder where he was yesterday
when that field piece was looking for
trouble. He‘s the type that would take
that single-handed. Maybe.
I’ll bet when the Germans saw him
coming down through those evergreen
trees all alone they had a good laugh
They may have made mince-meat out
of him, because he never came back.
By darkness we were all set for
counter-attack, had a gas watch all
detailed and expect to get a little more
sleep tonight.
Today came pretty close to being
the end of the Fifth Marines. I don’t
know how the Twenty-third Infantry
on our right fared, but they probably'
got their share.
War is hell, all right; but today was
worse.
I will have to hand it to Captain
Heck, though. Although I considered
him a darn poor officer behind the lines
and on the march, he played his part
today.
He was wounded and was going to
get out of here, anyway, and could
have left us to our fate, or he could
have let some other officer give the or-
der to fall back.
Although he had everything to lose,

personally, and nothing to gain by giv-
ing the order, he gave it anyway, and
now stands a good chance of being
court-martaled. . Now that’s what I
call a man.
October 5th, 191H. Saturday
We had a fair night. Some shelling,
but not bad. Chow and a bar of choc-
olate for each of us was brought up
during the night. We were awakened
before dawn to stand by for u count-
er-attack, at which time the chow was
distributed. Wc ate it after broad
daylight.
Attacks are planned to take place
right at dawn, so that while it is still
dark the advance may be made over
no man’s land, and the enemy first line
trench is reached just at dawn.
A good heavy blanket of fog lasting
all day is the best for an advance.
All day long the shells came over,
some landing in the road and some on
each side. A direct hit was made on a
hole close to me and Briggs was killed.
If the brains of this outfit can find
the men and the method of taking the
next hill, we wish they would hurry.
With the enemy artillery over there
shooting at us on sight it won’t take
many days to kill most of us, and drive
the rest of us bughouse. Think fast,
officers, think fast!
The St. Etienne road, right next to
us, has been used by men in bringing
up supplies, but no longer do we let
them come to the top of the hill. When
they did the Germans took pot shots at
them. Sometimes the shell would light
in the road; but generally it went a
littlo to one side, hitting us, or the men
across the road. So now we make them
turn off into the woods before they
reach the top of the hill.
This afternoon two men came up the
road carrying round loaves of br. ad
on their shoulders. The bread was
strung on a wire. Wc saw them com-
ing and heard the fellows a little far-
ther back shouting to them to take to
the woods before they got to the top
the hill.
These heroes of the kitchen did not
know what we were up against on this
front, so they kept right on coming and
said, “Aw, we ain’t afraid.”
The more tha gang shouted, the more
determined they seemed to be to stay
on the road.
When it was evident that the idiots
could not be talked out of continu-
ing, one of the shavetails across the
road stood up behind a tree, put his
hand on his pistol and snarled at them,
“God damn you, get off that road!”
Run? They dropped the broad and
flew for the woods.
Would the officer have shot them?
I don’t know. They thought so.
This is the only time I ever heard
a man swear at the front. A lot of
bad language is used; “son of a (sea
cook-” being the favorite expression,
but on the fronts where I was the name
of the Lord was more sacred than any
place on earth.
I thought this officer had a lot of
crust to swear, because the next min-
ute he might be facing his maker, but
to me, in this case, swearing seemed
unavoidable.
Many of the fellows disagree with
me, and say that men often swear,
but they never give me any examples,
and I tell them they are so nervous
and excited that they don’t know
what’s being said.
During the day most of the shells
lit above ground and were harmless,
but all too often direct hits were made
and the cry, “First Aid!” went out reg-
ularly, but not to much advantage
these direct hits usually killed instant
ly.
We never knew when it would be our
turn, so we lay still, and hoped, and
trembled, and prayed. Going over is
one thing, but being here powerless
to do anything is another matter.
Away out in the air we could hear
the faint hissing of a shell headed our
way like a red hot iron put in water.
As it drew nearer the hissing grew
louder, and when it hit the group.*
with a crash everything shook.
I lay and trembled, as did the other
men that were dug in with me, so much
so that I could see it. When we heard
a shell coming we stopped trembling,
stopped breathing, closed our eyes,
pulled ail our muscles taut enough to
bust, and waited; it seemed a long time
but was probably only ten seconds.
When the shell burst and we still
had connection with the thread of life
we started to breathe again, opened
our eyes, were perfectly normal for a
few seconds, then we began to trem-
ble again.
As the afternoon wore away and all
lay in their holes, and there was no
activity except the first aid men run-
ning after each direct hit, and some-
times stretcher bearers going back, no
machine gun fire, only the shells com-
ing over regularly, the idea got into
my thick head that this was my last
day on earth. I could feel it in my
bones.
As time went on I was more sure of
it. Everything was so still except for
the shelling, and I knew one of them
would land on me before another day,
More thoughts went through my
mind this afternoon than any other
day of my life, I was not excited or
afraid. I knew there was no way out.
A calm came over me and I quit
trembling.
I began wondering what my father
and mother would say when they got
the news.
When I said my prayers and went to
sleep it was with the firm conviction
that I would never again see daylight.
And prayers? What were they?
Asking for good crops and weather?
Asking divine help for our side and
oblivion for the enemy? Asking that
my worthless soul be spared? Never.
The old simple Lord’s prayer with the
addition of “Peace on earth, goodwill
to men.” Nothing else.
The parsons have their work bury-
ing the dead, and when a condition like
this arises we must go it alone.
Will—Godbye world.

Advertising
The following was taken from a
circular sent to retail merchants by a
large wholesale houses:
"The value of your local newspaper to
th'e success of your business cannot
be overestimated. It’s worth all the
support and co-operation you can give
it. For the newspaper is a mirror re-
flecting the life of the community in
which you and your store have an im-
portant part. Your advertisement is
the reflection of your store in the mir-
mor. Everybody secs it there. If it is
not there, the mirror is dark where
your store should be. You are there
but you cannot be seen. Your store is
open for business as usual, but ‘out
of sight, out of mind,’ To keep in step
with the progress of the community,
to get your share of business you must
advertise regularly. Take your news-
paper publisher into your confidence;
he can give you valuable assistance.
EEstablish an advertising budget. Plan
a regular schedule for your advertise-
ment. It’s a policy that is followed
by the most successful stores; it’s an
idea that will be profitable for you.”
