IV. HAMMOND MAN HAS SPY PICTURE CConttnae'l rrom pare on l

back of us ready for Fritz when they rot cold feet and didn't come' over. !

Well, we worked around Belfort and then Sioved to other places. Whenever wo lould find time to cut up handy to tho rallroadB. Then we went up to Verdun tnd slapped up a lot of shacks for tho boys. It was there that wo rot that py. Down at Belfort they picked up ne wh,o had a French g-eneral's uniform. (They just trotted him out and th squad opped htm off on mnmlnj." THE BIO SCRAP BTABT3. At Verdun Mike says he was mixed in sorat ecrlmniafcs, but not enough to pet used to It, eo that he was a "worllf.d IfiV u-hf'ti Via ivfls nlnrr1 In thr

pi enffUi-;ars, attached to th First was. Th word cornea down the

army, and moved near Chateau Thierry where he learned that the real scrapring was near at hand. "It was a grreat sight that morning: of July 18." he says. '"We started towards the front at 7 o'clock just like goinp to work. Everything that had wheels was being: used to carry amunition the same way we were

grolng, while people with everything they could carry were hurrying to thtj rear to get away from the battle zone. "Well, they shoved us up in the secend line. We were supposed to keep tho trenches in repair, but It was darned little anyone could do In that hell. I laid flat for five hours with" those shells bursting all around. You couldn't raise your head. I pressed my hands against my ears and tried to shut out that awful rocket. . THEY OOT THE SNIPER. "A sniper was working on our men from a little tree Just ahead of where I

line

from the lieutenant. 'Get that sniper In the tree I was scared stiff at first. Ton couldn't have hired me to have risked a shot at that fellow, but I learned it was meant for a machine gunner, the fourth man on my right. I gladly passed U on. He sent back, 'I'm not a good enough shot." but the officer says. 'Got to be done.' Well, the lad Just flops his old gat up onto the parapet and, br-r-r-r-up, down comes Fritz, treetop and all. "Then came the word to advance. The boys didn't hear it. Somehow the fellows always have the hunch when It Is right to go and they use their own judgr ment. In a little while though, the feeling begad to work on them and you should have seen them shed their blouses and tin derbies. Then over we went. I know I got three, but don't know how many more. BEST TO TOBOZT NUMBXK. "I Boon, learned it was best to forget

how many. Well, everybody knows the result of that scrap. We engineers spent about a week burying marines and a colored detachment that was about wiped ut. From then on we put in thrco months without rest. They had tis building railroads, artillery bridges, setting poles for wire entanglements and fixing up trenches. We started cutting timber In the Argonne forest but Frits got our range and soon spoiled the timber. "My outfit was always in hard luck. We always got shot up and cut to pieces sooner or later. I was replaced eight times, but somehow never got a scratch." One of the vivid features of his experience was -in the Argonne drive. The overseas cap Mike now wears belonged to a pal who was shot at his side. Then the man on the other side dropped and at about the same time Mike found him-

seir standing over a German who was begging In FoUsh,

hx was arucH srrmpjuszD. Wachewicz is of Polish descent himself and the surprise, of hearing the language there halted the bayonet which he had poised for the thrust. The fellow gibbered about having a big family back home, hoping to work on Mike's sympathies. But Mike had two buddies lying in their blood just behind him. "1 got him just above the heart and as I had run out of ammunition ittook me a couple of minutes to get the bayonet free." Wachewicz was in the hospital "with a touch of gas" in his eyes when the armistice was signed. His outfit later moved on to Coblenz. So glad were they when the word came to move for horns hat no one complained about the eight day trip in the dinky box cars to Bordeaux. Like all the rest he is strong for the Salvation Army. "They were the

front, making doughnuts in dugouts with shells bursting not a hundred feet away. The Frenchies were jealous of us fellows and showed it often when the boys were in rest camps and visited the villages. The Tommies were good fellows and used us fine to our faces at least. The Tommies were better fighters, too. I've seen the French go when things got too hot for them. Just dropped their guns and beat it the same as tho Frltzes would. But in all the time I was there I never saw any Americans headed for the rear. They always went the other way."

BAD WEEK FOR THE ROOSTERS LAFATETTE. Inrl.. June 5. Thousands of roosters are being marketed throughout Indiana this week as part of

, best or them all. he says. iou could the general observance of "rooster sea them, women mind you, right up in week," according to word reaching poul-

iry men at Purdue University from dealers and county agents. One cf tho men with an eye for figures doped it out that if two-thirds of the 1.000.000 roosters in the state are marketed there will be enough of these fowls to make Zo) carloads, which would make a train two miles long. If they were to march . single file to market they would make a line reaching from Chicago to Indianapolis, as they will average eighteen inches from head to tail, the dopster figured. Their feed bill, if their owners wait till the usual time to market them, will be $720,000. as each bird will eat an average of thirty pounds each from now till Tranksg-ving. Three million dozen, or one out of every seventeen eggs laid during the summer, are spoiled in Indiana each year because of the useless keeping of roosters with the flock. Th roosters that are not sold or canned this week should be penned up the remainder of the summer, the poultry men say.
