VIVID WORD PICTURE" OF BATTLE THOUGHTS

Officer Tells Experiences Facing Shells On a Field Resembling Hell On Earth.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.—,,A rabbit scampering: out through- a wood, that looked more like hell than earth. You wonder if he'll escape that rain of shells tearing men to pieces, driving litem mad. "You toll your pal to get tfce $100 you have on your person, should your ttrn come nejft."

These are some of the odda ond ends In a marvelous picture-letter Major Robert I* D«nig, 2131 Porter street, Philadelphia, wrote back after going through the Belleau •wood struggle on July i. It was made public here tonigh t. "At S:I0 we jumped off with a line of tanks ia the lead," he wrote. "For two kilometres the four lines of marines were as straight as a die, and their advance over the open plain in the bright sunlight was a picture 1 shall never forge*. The fire got hotter and hotter men fell bullets sang shells whizzed, and iha dust of battle sot thick.

Overton was hit by a big piece of •hell, and fell. Afterward I heard he was hit in the heart, so his death was without pain. He was buried that night, and tM p:n he wanted hia mother to have -was found. Others, when hit, would stand, it seemed an hour, then fall into a heap. 1 yelled to Wilmer that each gun in the barrage worked from right to left. Then a rabbit ran ahead, and I watched him, wondering if he would get hit. Good rabbit. It took my mind off the carnage. Tjooked for Hughes way over to the right told Wilmer that I had a hundred dollars, and be sure to get it You think of all kinds of things. "About sixty Germans jumped out of a trench and tried to surrender, but their machine guns opened up, we flred back, they ran and our left company after them. They made a gap that had to be filled, so Sibley advanced one of his to do the job, then a shell lit in a machine gun crew of ours and cleaned it out completely. "At 10:30 we dug in the attack just died out. From then on to about 8 p. m. life was a chance And mighty uncomfortable. It wap hot as a furnace, no water, and they had our range to a T. "Well, we just lay there throughout the hot afternoon. It was great. As twilight came, we sent out water parties for relief of the wounded. A man who had been blinded, wanted me to hold his hends. Another wanted his head held. One man got up on his hands and knees. I asked him what he wanted. He said 'look at the full luoon' and then fell dead."

That is only part of his tale. A flfrht, We said, was a lot of dirty, hungry, tired men. scrambled up with dust, noise and smoke. And, he ended: "We advanced 10 kilometres, with

Seventy-two officers are expected to report this week for the Sixty-fourth pioneer infantry, the third such unit to be organized at this station. Depot brigade officers, anxious for overseas duty, had hoped that the commissioned personnel for the outfit would be obtained from the depot brigade, as was done when the 801st and 814th were created, but word has been received from the war department that seventy-two line officers will be sent from other stations.

Ground Broken for Garden. Ground was broken yesterday on the camp farm school's land, where a 700acre garden will be cultivated next spring with a view of producing food for the soldiers and conserving man power for the nation. The farm will be operated under the direct supervision of Lieutenant Frank Dyer, of the local reclamation and conservation department, of which Captain James H. Brady is the commander.

Tractors loaned the military authorities by Louisville firms were used to draw the ^lows turning the first furrows. The main purpose of the project is to reclaim for general military service men who are now in the domestic service class. The system has been put into effect at fourteen other cantonments, where successful results have been obtained. The open-air work was so beneficial to many of the soldiers that their physical defects corrected and health was improved.

This plan of reclaiming man-power has been profitable to the government from another viewpoint. It has taught a useful occupation, and produced fresh vegetables for messes. Local officials have received no intimation that German prisoners or soldiers" disabled overseas will be worked on the loca! farm.

The camp farm takes in a portion of the old maneuver field, west of the Preston street road. The purpose of the plowing at this time is to get the soil in good condition for spring. Manure from the camp stables will be used for fertilizer. Lieut. Dyer expects to raise a big crop. Hia tentative plans for the spring call for planting of 180 acres of potatoes. 200 acres of sweet corn, fifty acres of cabbage, twenty-five acres of tomatoes, 100 acres of sweet potatoes, fifteen acres of carrots, ten acres of onion sets, fifteen acres of beets, ten acres of lettuce. fifty acres of beans and ten acres of cucumbers.
