By the flare of the explosion of th bomb, which luckily landed in thea trench, 1 ,saw one big Boche throe up his arms and fall backwards while his rifle flew into the air; An other one wilted and fell forward across- the sandbags -then blackness Realizing 'what a foolhardy an risky thing I had done, f was agaa seized with a horrible : fear.I" dmgg myself , to my feet and ran madlyi down the lane throuuli the barbed wire, stumbling over eut wires, tean ing my uniform, and lacerating m hands and legs. Just as I was abou to reach( No Man's Land again,. that same voice.seemed to say "Turn around)." 1 did so, when, "era ler another bullet caught me, this time m the left shoulder about one half inch away from the other wound. Then it was taps for nie. The lights went out / When 1 carie to I was crouching in a hole in No Man's Land. This shell hole was about three feet deep, so that it brought my head a few inches below the level of the ground. How I reached this hole I will never known' German "typewriters" were traversing back and forth in No Man's Land, the bullets biting the, edge of my shell hole and throwing dirt all, over me. ` Overhead, shrapnel. was bursting. I could hear the fragments slap the ground. Then I went out once more. When I carne to everything was sil- ence in No Man's Land. I was soak- ed with blood and a big flap from the wound -in my cheek was hanging over any mouth. The blood running from this flap choked me. Out of the corner aft my mouth I= would try and. blow it back but it would not move. I reached for my shell dressing and tried,, with one hand, to bandage my face to prevent the 'flow. I had an awful horror • of bleeding to death, and was getting very faint. `au would have laughed if you had sen my ludricous attempts at bandaging with one hand. The pains in my wounded shoulder were awful and I was getting siek at the stomach. I gave up , the bandaging stunt as " a bad job, and then fainted. When I came to, hell'was let loose. An intense bombardment was on,and on the whole my position was decid- edly unpleasant. Then suddenly,bur barrage ceased. The silence almost `h rt, but not'for long, because Fritz turned loose with shrapnel, - machine guns and rifle, "fire. Then all along our line came a cheer and our boys carne over the top in. a charge. e. irst wave composed of "Jocks." They . were. .a, magaaificent. sights kil. s. lapping -in the wind,bare knees show ing, and their bayonets glistening. In the first wave that passed my hell hole, one of the "Jocks," an im- mense fellow about sixieet two inches.. 'height, jumped right over me. Ore the right and left of me several sol- iens in colored kilts, were huddled on !The ground, then over came the second . wave, also "Jocks." One young Scottie, when he came abreast. of my shell hole, leaped into the air, is rifle' shooting out of his • hands, ending ,about six feet in front of him, bayonet first, and stuck in the ground, the butt trembling. • This innpressed me greatly. Right now I can see the butt of that gun trembling.: The • Scottie made a comtilete turn in the air, hit the ground, rolling ,.over twice, each time clawing at the earth, and then ema,ined still, about four feet. front I me, in a sort of sitting position ailed to him, "Are you -hurt bad1 ock?" but no answer-- He wa ead. A dark, red sr uge was come ng through his tunic right tender the east. The blood rag down his bare knees, making a horrible sight. On hiS right side he carried his wetter ottle. I ' was crazy for a drink and tried to reach this bit for the life of e could not negotiate that four. feet. Then I became unconscious. When woke up I was in an advanced first aid post I asked the doctor if we ad taken the trench. "We took the trench ,and the wood beyond, all right" he said, "and you fellows, did.' your it; but, my lard, that was thirty-six ours ago.

CLOSE AGENT SEAFORTH PHONE *8i You know, of course, that the Maxwell Moto r Car is the long distance champion of the world. You have read that a "stock" Maxwell 5 -passenger car ran for 44 days and nights without stopping the motor° And that, in the 44 days non-stop test, the Maxwell covered 22,022 miles, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. But have you, up to now, realized the full significance of that performance? Do you know that no other motor car in the world has ever equalled or even approached that performance? In a word, did you take this test seriously when you heard of it? Or did you set it down as a "selling stunt" to give the publicity pian something to talk about? It's ,worth your while to read and to study - the conditions under which that test was made. You know that the American Automobile Association (familiarly known as the "A. A. A.") is the official arbiter of every automobile test and contest. But perhaps you didn't know that when a raker places hisP roduct under A. A. A. supervision he must do absolutely as told and abide by the decisions of the Board. That's why there are so few A.A.A. Official Records! " This 22,000 -mile Maxwell non-stop test was official from start to finish./ Therein lies its value to you. It proves abSorutelythe quality of the car -of the Very Maxwell you buy. For verily this was a "stock" lllaxwell. Listen: - First : the inspectors disassembled the motor to see that no special pistons, valves, beari-tg-metal or other parts had been used. Every other unit wasas critically inspected. Then the car was re -assembled under their own -supervision. As we had much at stake and the test was made in winter (November 23 to January 5) we asked permission to take certain little^ precautions against acci- dental tstoppage. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? But they refused permission to'do any such thing. For example: -They would not permit a rubber cover over the magneto ---it wasn't "stock," They' refused to let us tape,the.ignition wire terminals -they are not taped cin the Maxwells we sell -so of course it wasn't "stock." Neither would they let us use a spiral coiled pipe in place of the usual straight one from tank to carburetor to guard against a breakage from the constant, unremitting vibration -it isn't "stock." Nor to use a special high priced foreign make of spark plug -:--the run. was made on the same °spark plugs with which all Maxwells are equipped. So rigid were the rules, we were unable to carry a spare tire on the rear -it wasn't "stock" A telegram to headquarters in New York finally brought a permit to carry special a spare tire. •. . "It isn't stock!" "It isn't stock!" That was the laconic reply, of those A.A.A. inspectors to every last suggestion that called for anything but the precise condition of the standard, stock Model Maxwell that any customer can buy from any one of 3000 dealers anywhere. We are glad now - mighty glad -- that the rules were so strict and so rigidly enforced. _ Any other car that ever attempts to equal that record must do it under official supervision -and comply with the same 'terms. And it will have to gti some. For Maxwell set the standard when it performed this wonderful feat. Maxwell complied -with those rules --and made good. Every drop of gasoline and oil and wat,er was measured out and poured in by the inspectors themselves. They would knot even let our mean pour it in ! Every four hours the car had to report at the official station for checking. And it had to be there on the minute. And every minute there was an inspector beside the driver on the front seat- ' two • snore men n in the rear. One 'got out only to let another in --day and night for 44 days and nights! There was one technical stop. It is interesting to know the circumstances. Dead • of night --a driving storm -a cloudburst --suddenly another car appeared in the road ahead. In his effort to avoid a collision the Maxwell driver stalled his motor. At least the ohservers thought it stopped and so reported. The car did not stop, however, so its momentum again started the motor (if it had indeed stalled) when the clutch was let in. The contest board exonerated our driver on grounds that his action was" neces- to save life. • T t shows you how rigid were the ruler -bow conscientiously applied by the obse ars. You who .iave owned and driven ,rotor cars -you who how;small a may clog a carburetor or a feed pipe; "sbort" a Spark or wall a motor---w1ll realize what a wonderfully well made car this must be to go through that test under those conditions -44 days -22:,022 miles without stopg. The exact amount of gasoline, of oil, of water used; the • .tire .mileage; tire troubles, tire changes; the distance and the routes are matters of official record, attested under oath and guaranteed by the A.A. A. (By the way, the average' was nearly 10,000 miles per tin.) Any Maxwell owner -or anyone interested may see those ride. And -here's the most wonderful part :though no attempt was or could be she for economy; the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon of gasoline. Some other car may, some time, equal some one of those performances. But to equal them,all in the same test- that car must be ,a Maxwell. ". L •
