the enemy, a thick belt of wire pre-
vented any attack. Racing to this
quarter. he called for volunteers to
man a machine gun and follow him.
, Without waiting for them he seized a
:pair of wire nippers and attacked the
obstacle. Calmly he cut the strands,
while the bullets "chinged" against the
' steel all about him. Through the hole
he cut the four volunteers followed,
!lugging their gun and ammunition.
The colonel, seeing two of the four go
down, worked like a madman, and the
wire parted in the last fence. With
his automatic he cleared a knoll of the
two Huns who defended it and a mo-
ment later planted the machine gun
upon it. An instant later it enfiladed
the German trench and halted the fire.
Lieut«;nano-Colonel John Sherwood -
Kelley, commanding a battalion of fu-
sileers, moved out at the head of his
men one afternoon to cross the Yser,
Canal. Moving according to the time
schedule, they arrived at the banks to
find the "shock" troops who there due
to have cleared a passage for the fu-
siliers held up by a terrific German
rifle fire which prevented them from
taking pusitions covering the bridge.
From the high ground opposite the
Huns were pouring in a galling ma-
chine gun and rifle fire. All the Eng-
lishmen were under cover, replying as

canal centered upon the bridge. The
lead swept across like snowy in gusts.
The colonel bent his Bead to it and
plunged in. Splinters flew this way
and that. Balls panted hot, quick gasps
past his face, through his clothes, but
he raced an, turning• and yelling to his
men. The fusiliers, with a cheer, dis-
carded the protection of the covering
party and came on, Their feet broke
out in sudden thunder on the bridge,
Some of them splashed tragically in
the canal on either side as the bullet
gusts blew them down. The colonel,
untouched by some miracle, raced
ahead, breasting the wind of lead.
One-fifth of the first company fell
moments on the German side of the
canal, Thereafter the remaining com-
panies of the battalion came across
with lighter losses,; for the colonel, dis-
tributing the first company in shell
holes, distracted the Hun fire.

where a great quantity of ammunition
was stored, and was consequently des-
perate when he found 'himself a pris-

of the precious munitions. Watching
his chance, he seized a spirted stick
(for executing opponents at close
range) from one of his captors and
swung it fatally upon the ,German's
head.
Leaping out of the trench, he dash-

caped the bullets of his late captors.
Springing into the second line trench
