Bub this man had something else engraved upon his .brain that he wanted to share 'by way of, speech with someone who could understand him; it was as if the horror of it was too great for him to keep to himself, and I do not think it -was imagination that made ine think I sate a 'look of relief in his eyes as 11e finished tolling: me the story. The vision that obsessed him had been the incident of S. second time, but, as he •told me in his rough speech, the remembrance of if: will be with him throughout all the life that lies before 1.ile. The cause of it all had been one of those huge 90 -pound lyddite shells that the Gelman artillery has been using with such terrible effect. especially in - This Rattle of the Marne. They tear a hole in the ground "that ,you could bury a horse in," and they number their victims, when they fall near troops in any- thing like close formation, not by units but in tens.

And in the next bed was another who had, too, one paramount int pression that he. bed brought more clearly than any other out of the inferno from both had come. It was the strange sight of a British Max- ine gun deliberately sawing a wall of bricks in ,hall. Ab short range the g51•n had opened upon a Party of Germans whorushed for Dover be- hind the only obstacle at hand, An Ordinary .Rett-blriek Wall. There they no doubt thought they were safe, but the English machine gunners had another device in re- serve for their destru•ction. They delberattly opened fire on the wall itself, raising and depressing the muzzle of their gun in the same line until the Trail of bullets had smashed a hole right through it. Then they began to move the gun sidewaysto and .fro along the wall nntil.they had cut through it Millet direction, too. And then the wall. fell down and the Germans behind' it had to run backwards to ,escape the falling brooks.

For four days the, British • position had diem bombarded clay and night by a 'battery of Gorman :guns of a type whibll they, have nicknamed Si- lent Maty „bthey make such a noise. The battery was admir- ably COnee'51ed in thick woods, and though the :liaitisl, guns had mug- , Indian Lanecr,Outposts in Preece—Indian Cavalry on the Ashlar, settl- ing Front. ala-ing,I`ront. ed•to and fro and far :and near for all these days they seemed never to have succeeded in; getting near to it, for still the German fire went on with -deadly and monotonous re- gularity. But one night a captain of the Fmglish battery happened•to notice for away among ` bhe trees A. Distant Flash. It was there only for a fraction of a second, ,but it was followed -by the well-known screaming of . a German'shel.l. Beyond all doubt he had ;hai,d' the fortune to see the flame of one -of the hidden grins. He took his .prismatic eompass and took a careful bearing of the flash. Then he moved to another point farther down the British lines and waited patiently with his eyes fixed on the spot from 'which the flash had come before. It was not long before his vigilance brought its reward. Once More the tiny point of fire, scarcely noticeable except to a keen and watchful eye, flickered amid the shadows of -the tree -covered hills. three miles away. Once again the officer took a bearing. He had now the compass -bearing of the gun from two points, and it was 'a mat- ter of simple :triangulation to esti- mate the range and position of the enemy's battery. As soon as it was. light next day the British guns were got ready, but this time an aeroplane had been brought up to help them. The range taken over -night was given and the lire was opened. Meanwhile the aeroplane, with an observer and a wireless apparatus, set out to cruise 9e01' the German lwsitlon and watch its effect. It took only seven rounds to find that German battery exactly, and after that 100 shells nanl'e were fired, Then the aeroplane sent a message that was short but sufficient. The German battery loud ceased to exist, The Si11"tt .Maa•y's were silent forever. tdli;±3,9NY 1LAlEl"1l/e.r11.1FN. Tin .
