We started off about 1 oclock and expected to be back by & I noticed as I came to the Kemmel road that there were two sentries on dnty there, but aa they only saluted tba officers and didnt eay anything I thought no more about It Now, Kemmel lies at the foot of a hill and la tacked In between Mount Nolr and Mount KemmeL It would be e cozy little place In peace time, but It Is an awful trap to get caught In when there la a war on. I sent the car up the bill as fast she could go, and It was a long climb. As we went over the brow and started on the down grade we ran right under the nose of the German artillery observers. This road was officially dosed, and those sentries should have stopped us. Well. It scared me so that I went down that hill so fast those officers must have thought tbey were In a parachute. Aa we entered the village the shell? commenced to drop In on ns, and we ran for the nearest shelter, which happened to be brewery. There wasnt much left of the place anyway, as It had been In German bands, and we bad shelled them out of It, and when we had taken It they had shelled oa out of It Anyway, we left the car and crawled intonbe cellar. It waa wet and filthy, but It looked Just like heaven to me that day. We lay there In all thla filth hour after hour, while the sheila literally poured In all around us. Tbey cer talnly wasted a lot of good ammunition ! trying to get us, but the beet of It waa that they didn't succeed. One of the ' officers remarked during a moment alienee that tha crown prlnca of .Ger- - j many mnst havs mad his beadquar- ters In the place .when It was hi Gar- - ; man hands. Another officer replied ' that he wished the crown prince was there now. We lay there till the fire let' up, which it did about B oclock. I waa ' worrying about getting back, and I was also wondering what had become ef the car. If It was gone we might Just as well kiss ourselves goodby, for our chances of getting out on foot would be slim. When the fire bad abated we came eut and looked around. The enemy certainly bad mad a mesa of the place, for eve u ih lop aiory of the brewery bed been shot away from over onr beads I went to look the car over, and you can Just believe I waa relieved to find that, aside from having a few holes through the body.

I was out alone in the car, and 1 bad been doing patrol duty. I went rather closer to onr fir tng line than Mntended to. but decided to push on until I struck the route nationale. so I would have a good road all the rest of the way back to camp. I had to go through the village of Pkkebusch, and as I came to the crossroads just outside the village a sentry stopped me and said I could not go on. it seems that some Germans had got a i achiPF guu In the steeple of tha ilitpeh and werecleanlng up everv-Uila- p that tried to pass. The hut. artillery bad been eeut for, and 1 learned that they a era ou their way even then. 1 decided to wait around and see wbat happened, so I pulled In to the Side of the road. I had hardly (topped when I beard a rush and rattle that sounded like an old flivver In tha distance. Around the curve dashed eight horses on the dead gallop, pulling an eighteen pounder behind them. They dashed by, hut about fifty yards ahead of me they swung around and trained that gun op the church.

I didnt know what waa going to happen to uL I wasnt very familiar .with the road, and I waa afraid they would have some kind of barricade np or have a few machine guns trained on ua or something equally unpleasant I certainly waa dreading that ride back, but there was no other way out, and we were between the devil and the deep sea. It waa at a time, like that that I wished that I bad never seen the British army. I turned the. car around, and as soon aa it was dark wa got In and started. I opened her np wide, and by the time we got to the bottom of the bill we were doing about fifty miles on hour, and 1 couldnt see very much, either, for of course I did not use any lights. I didnt know what was waiting for os at the top of the hill, but I did know that if there was anything there we were going right through it, even If we didn't go any farther. The ridiculous part of It was that we went right through and never saw a thing. Absolutely nothing happened, but I dont ever want to feel again the way 1 felt going up that bill. Shortly after this I learned that th British Tommy Is a great gambler and will gamble with, on or for anything. Trench pools used to be very popular. About ten fellows got together, and each put 10 francs In a pool just before they went Into action. They left this money with some one behind the lines, for they would be in action anywhere from six days to three weeks. j The Idea of the pool was this: Those who lived to get back would take the money and split It evenly among them- selves. If only one lived be would have the whole loL Sometimes the pools would be fairly big and some- times the reverse, but whatever" they bad went In.
