EOEINSOH Dev. 20-2- 2 and CHAPTER VII. , The Attack en Hill No. 60. last wo came to tbo place when the communication trench began, and 1 explained it to him. Tha trench lay about 100 yards off the road, running parallel to it It was awfully to muddy and one of the dirtiest-holeget to that I ever saw. lie noted this and wanted to stiek to the road, eo I hut up and said no more for a few minutes. Pretty soon a few shells began to corns over, and I could see them bursting farther up the road. I spoke again and pointed out the danger we were running into. He had to consent then, so we slipped and and thfougb the mud andflnally the trench. It waa easy after that, and we reached the trenches just in time to have some lunch. In the afternoon he waa shown through the trenches there and then came back and asked to see some bombs thrown. They threw some bombf for him and then started firing rifle grenades. Everything was lovely until about 4 oclock. Suddenly something 'whizzed over and landed In a trench not a dozen feet from where we were standing. I didnt wait to see what It was. I didnt even hesitate Hy feet just acted automatically, and I think I broke the worlds record for the standing broad jump right then and there. As it happened, the thing didnt explode, and its a good thing it didnt, for the colonel just stood and watched It Soon after this he decided to go back, so we returned the same way de'bad come, and all the way back he had me picking np shell noses and pieces of shell until, when we reached tha car again, I resembled a junk wagon. To put the finishing touches on it an they were shelling Viamertlnghe when we returned, and we passed through that place as fast as that ear could travel, while the houses were tumbling down on either aide of ns. Taken an la an, it was about aa exciting a day as I wanted. But my troubles were not over yet, for I waa Informed that I waa to take him to the Ploogsteert trenches the next day. I did not mind that so much, for the Saxons were holding tha trenches opposite ns on that part of tbs 11ns, and they did not bother ns very much. Bometlmee day would pasa with hardly a shot being fired. Of course the German artillery gave It to us just the same aa everywhere else, but the Saxons themselves are pretty decent chaps. The Tillage of Ploogsteert Is a very interesting place, aa there bad been a great deal of hand to hand fighting there In the earlier days of the war and the houses and trees left standing were all scratched and cat by bullet marks.. . We started out about 10 oclock tbs next morning, and by 11 we were on our way up to the trenches. In going to the trenches one passes through a big wood, and this place, too, was alive with snipers. We arrived without mishap, however, but things were warmer than usual, for it seems that there were some Bavarians In against us at this time. While the colonel was mousing around I picked up one of the new perisoop.c rides that bad just come out and started potting at a chap who was digging a sniping trench out in front of the German parapet I could ouly see the flash of Ills intrenching tool as he threw the dirt out and once In awhile bis head would show for a fraction of a second. But I kept potting away more to kill time than anything else. He soon knew that I was after him. . for every once in awhile he would wave his little shovel at me just after I bad taken a shot. All afternoon I kept this up, and about 4:30 I waa beginning to. get rather tired of the game. I just happeued to glance Into the glass of the periscope, and there was hla whole head and shoulders showing above the little parapet 1 pulled the trigger, and he seemed to disappear almost at the same Instant It sounds rather long to tell about but It all happened In the fraction of a second. I didn't know whether I had hit him ot not and I waa beginning to doubt It when some one threw his body out and went on digging in hla place. I had fired nearly 400 rounds of ammunition to get one German, but I felt rather alck at having finally been 2!)
