i DOUGHNUT HUT 1§ BOMBARDED BY THE tion Army Girls Get Fine pe the Fireworks after Seeking Safety in Neigh- boring Field WEDNESDAY, OCT. 9, 1918 By MISS IRENE McINTYRE Front (Written for the United Press) WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS ,T THE FRONT, Sept. 17.—-(By 1)—A few nights ago we had er taste of war. We had been ed into a false ‘sense of security very little air, fighting. In fact. the pans in. our kitchen had not been rattled for days, and we were ready to forget we were’ at the front, except for soldiers and the} cessity for keeping out of obser- vation of German lookout posts on the hills opposite uss All of a sudden at midnight the big guns of the’ beches let loose in a*box barrage about a mile and a half from us at the nearest point. At the same time they shelled all the es in a circle about ts. hurried into our clothes and down to the barbed wire en- ments in a neighboring field. Then we were comparatively safe, as long as we lay close to the ground at eclat could not reach us if came nearer. We could also g fine view of the fireworks. It was wonderful and solemn, too, when one thot of it.’ The night was » black, and with each retaliating t from our guns great orange flames darted and disappeared into the blackness. We remained perfect- ly silent while “we watched. My heart always speeds up as I watch such a sight and realize what t is meaning to our boys out there in the trenches, : After an hour of the most brill- iant artillery display I have ever seen we went to bed. and tried to sleep, but too. many whining shells passed over head for that. I didn’t tell Mrs. Sheppard, the inspector from Boston, who ‘was with us, that the shells were incoming, because it was her first experience under shell- fire and we didn’t want to scare her to death. But my sister and I knew what they were. a At the same time we were watch- ing just where the shells were land- ing. Just as dawn was breaking, which is early in France, the church hell and the claxons sounded above the noise of bursting shells and we knew a gas:-attack Sony eae Gladys and I dunned our masks and then discovered Mrs. Sheppard could not get’ hers on, Investiga- tion showed she did not have it far enough under her chin, and her nose clip could not find home. Gladys turned on the flashlight while I tried to make the clip. and Mrs. Shep- pard's nose connect. Finally the junectidn was made, and we realized she was safe and ungassed. Then our relief wanted to vent itself im laughter, and we giggled until we Were afraid we were afraid we would blow -off our respirators. I had to dress with my gas mask on, and it was more like an obstacle race than anything I have yet attempted. Before long the all-clear signal was given, and we knew that the gas was gone, tho the guns still sounded all sround us. It was now perfectly light, and we hurried to the kitchen to make a fire and get hot chocolate food for any wounded who might e thru. In a short time some boys did ar- so tive, slightly wounded and well enough to stop a few moments for hot drinks and sandwiches. They were glad we had something to give them for the poor boys showed the strain they had been under, ‘and they were immensely appreciative of something hot to eat or drink.

It bears evidence of hav- | ing been reloaded for use as a bomb. The .authorities believe that it was placed on the railroad under the supposition that the first train to strike it would explode it. high explosive shrapnel shell, accord- ing to army men who have examined it. It would explode with sufficient | force to blast a section of track, and | to | Vhouse. _It is’ not believed to be heavy enough to destroy the warehouse, un- | less the shrapnel has been removed and a more powerful explosive sub- stituted.
