ONE MAN CAPTURES A TRENCH
I shall possibly *make• a heavy dc-
!maid on the credulity of some by
,claiming for one man the distinction
oil capturing an enemy trench single-
handed, but kindly keep in mind. that
Higgins _had a way with him. We
were repairing a section of our front
Zine, which resembled in outline a gi-
gantic horseshoe with the ends turned
toward the enemy, the work was going,
on simultaneously in three places, in
the iniddle,mor toe, and at both ends,
or heels. We were making use of
large quantities of material, such as
timber, sand bags and corrugated
iron, The Iasi named comes in sheets
of about six feet by three and is pri-
marily a roofing, material, but is also
used extensively an the revetment of
trench. walla Horse transport
brought this material at night to a
forward "dump" about 700 yards
from the front Tine, and from here it
was " ir_anhauled" into the trenches.
Large parties were told •ff for this
task alone and were known as carry-
ing parties. Among them were, in
-addition to their own N. C. O's., a few
sappers_ to insure smooth running
order, and all night long this party
trudged up and down the road leading
from the dump to the trenches.
Higgins had been sent to work in
conjunction with ,the .carriers, and he
now brought up the rear Of the party
laden with two sheets of corrugated
iron. Before allowing Higgins to
proceed, Sergi. James, repeated,.
twice his admonitions regarding sil-
enne on the journey across the newly
owed route. Higgins went over the
tot and was iinrnedietely enveloped by
the 'inky darkness...As he was the last
of the.carriers this part of the night's
t►rogr a nurse was ended; wand Janes and
sow ° proceeded to the ' Scene of the
mein pperations. We had gone but, a
few yards when sudd1endly there
gash ' of
t stillness a din that
fat one. previously to this,
silence hadTreigned supreme. There
had b the opacsional sputter of a
star li and the intermittent crack
of 'sentd '• rifies from both aides, just
to let each other know that someone
was home, but these had only' tended
to 'intensify, it. anything, the extreme
quiet. This sudden and hair-raising
rew resembled to some extent a train
'load of wash b:viers that had become
derailed and had leaped over a rocky
precipice. Just. as soon as sufficient
Death came to ane to stake an utter-
ance, I asked of no one in particular,
"ghat in Sam Hill is that?" Ser-
`geant.James was a yard or so in ad=
vance, and I heard him mutter ;lust
one word, "Iggiris!"
Almost as suddenly as the storm*
had broken it sto.nped: Fifteen min-
utes or so had elapsed since the dis-
appearance of Higgins, when sudden-
ly a burly figure, in a somewhat moist
and breathless condition hurled itself
into the trench over our parapet. Sure
enough it was Higgins. Later, he
himself filled in the gaps in the story
as foams: After leaving our para-
pet, he had selected a course that dev-
iated co tsiderably from that of his
predecessors. This course brought
him to some wire behind which he
could discern the dim outlines. of a
parapet. Never doubting for an in-
stant that this was naie' own parapet,
he proceeded to negotiate the wire.
.this accoinialished elsent mishap. lie
:lent proceeded to get'hins self and eer-
ie() into the trench, nut just an top of
the•parapet a treacherous foothold�
precipitated Higgins, corrugated `iron
and all, into the it :
The essence of successful assault is
said to be surprise. As fax as I know
no more convincing argument' has
been advanced. for such a claim than
Higgii s's 'tactics. That worthy, 'net
altogether sure that everything was
just as it should be, found `himself ex-
amining some articles of equipment
suspended on the trench wall. Sud -
dente' the awful tuth dawned 'on him
that he was in Fritz'streach, and ent-
wined at that. To use his own. words,
"1 didn't 'ave notl�iin' to defend myself
:with, so I thought I'd better 'op it,
and you bet f chid 'op it sir." Getting
backinto No Man's Land just when
the resultant firing was at its height,
he had been forced to seek the shel-
ering confines of a shell hole, already
occupied by some cold and dirty
water, until the–lull gaga him his
chance to return.
Later, our night's work fi.ished, we
hail lust reached that point in our
contrary.
Lockjaw germs are net injured or

couraged to thrive and cause senzous

Much of the same thing is true of
the fallacious use of sweet oil ` and
grandmothers, old nurses' and other
ancients wag their fossil heads owl-
ishly and describe how many times
they think they have cured earache
with sit, does not"mean that it is
true and good for the ear. Not a
bit of it.
Earache must be fought with intel-
ligence. A brisk purgative, such as
Epsom salts, a hot water bag helgw
or upon the ear, a nasal douche of•tot
salt water Or the alkaline antiseptic
fluid: diluted, all contribute toward
some relief.
Skilful aurists say that the drop-
ping of oily solutions into the audi-
tory canal for the purpose of the re-
lief of pain is usually unwise and
should seldom, if ever, be resorted to.
The oil possesses little or no healing
value, and only serves to obscure the
parts for examination. Sweet oil and.
laudanum, so often used by many
well-tintentioned persons, have clone
much serious damage to the hearing.
What misled them was the appar-
ent relief from the earache. This
airtue, however, is riot due to the oil,
but to the •'> Zeat,' which. it -like the
old - time flaxseed poultice -- holds.

right up to his death Russell held the
