CHAPTER XV (Continued* One morning two butterflies play In front of our trench. They are brimstone-butterflies, with red spots cn their yellow wings. What can they be looking for here? There Is j rot a plant nor a flower for miles. They settle on the teeth of a skull. The birds, too. just as carefree, they long since have accustomed themtelves to the war. Every morning larks ascend from No Men's Land. A yecr ago we watched them nesting. the young ones grew up, too. We have a spell from the rats in ♦he trench. They are in No Man's Land—we know what for. They grow fat; when we see one we have a crack at it. At night we hear again the rolling behind the enemy lines. All day we have only the normal shelling, so that we arc able to repair the trenches. There always is plenty of amusement; the airmen see to that. There are countless fights for us to watch every day. Battle planes don't trouble us, but the observation planes we hate like the plague; they put the artillery on to us. A couple of minutes after they appear, shrapnell and high explosives begin to drop on us. We lose eleven men in one day that way, and five of them stretch- i ei -bearers. Two are so smashed j that Tjaden remarks you could ! scrape them off the wall of the; trench with a spoon and bury them in a mess-tin. Another has the : lower part of his body and his legs j torn off. Dead, his chest leans against the | eide of the trench, his face is lemonyellow, in his beard still burns a eigaret It glows until it dies out cn his hps. We put the dead in a large shellbole. So far there are three layers, cne on top of the other. Suddenly the shelling begins to pound again. Soon we are sitting j up once more with the rigid tenseness of blarJf anticipation. Attack, C" nter-attack, charge, repulse these are words, but what things they signify! We have j lost a good many men, mostly recruits. Reinforcements again have been | tent up to our sector. It is one of the new regiments, composed of young fellows called up during last j year. They have had hardly any I

They do know what a hand grenade is. it is true, but they have very little idea of cover, and. what is most important of all. have no eye for it. A fold in the ground has to be quite eighteen inches high before they can see it. Although we need reinforcement, the recruits give us almost more trouble than they are worth. They are helpless in this grim fighting area, they fall like flies. The present method of fighting from posts demands knowledge and experience; a man must have a feeling for the contours of the ground, and ear for sound and character of the shells, must be able to decide beforehand where they will drop, how they will burst, and how to shelter from them. The young recruits, of course, know none of these things. They get killed simply because they hardly can tell shrapnel from high-ex-plosive; they are mown down because they are listening anxiously to the roar of the big coal-boxes falling far in the rear, and miss the light, piping whistle of the low spreading little daisy-cutters. They flock together like sheep in-

stead of scattering, and even the wounded are shot down like hares by the airmen. Their pale turnip faces, their pitiful clenched hands, the miserable courage of these poor devils, the desperate charges and attacks made by these poor brave devils, who are so terrified that they dare not cry out loudly, but with battered chests and torn bellies and arms and legs only whimper softly for their mothers and cease as soon as one looks at them. Their sharp, downy, deaf faces have the awful expressionlessness of dead children. It brings a lump into the throat to see how 7 they go over, and run and fail. A man would like to spank them, they are so stupid, and to take them by the arm and lead them away from here where they have no business to be. They wear gray coats and trousers and boots, but for most of them the uniform is far too big, it hangs on their limbs, their shoulders ure too narrow, their bodies too slight; no uniform was ever made to these childish' measurements. Between five and ten recruits fall to every old hand. A surprise gas attack carries off

a lot. of them. They have not yet learned what to do. We found one dugout full of them, with blue heads and black lips. Some of them in a shell hole took their masks off too soon; they did not know that the gas lies longest in tne hollows; when they saw others on top without masks they pulled theirs off. too, and swallowed enough to scorch their lungs. Their condition is hopeless, they choke to death with hemorrhages and suffocation. CHAPTER XVI TN one part of the trench I sudJLdenly run into Himmelstoss. We dive into the same dugout. Breathless we are all lying one beside the other waiting for the charge. When we run out again, although I am very excited, I suddenly think: “Where's Himmelstoss?” Quickly I jump back into the dugout and find him with a small scratch lying in a corner pretending to be wounded. His face looks sullen, he is in a panic; he is new to it, too. But it

makes me mad that the young recruits should be out there and he here. “Get out!” I spit. He does not stir. hi 6 lips quiver, his mustache twitches. “Out!” I repeat. He draws up his legs, crouches back against the wall, and shows his teeth like a cur. I seize him by the arm and try to pull him up. He barks. That is too much for me. I grab him by the neck and shake him like a sack, his head jerks from side to side. “You lump, will you get out — you hound, you skunk, sneak out of it, would you?” His eye becomes glossy, I knock his head against the w&l—“You cow” I kick him in the ribs—“ You swine” —I push him toward the door and shove him out head first. Another wave of our attack has just come up. A lieutenant is with them. He sees us and yells; “Forward, forward, join in, follow.” And the word of command does
