By the end of this trip the words, and particular- ly the wood roads, were veritable quagmires, and I sure will take off my hat to the army mules that pulled the gun carts, caissons, .combat wagons, ete., through. We never could fight this war without them. “Well, on the night set for the at- tack, it was raining harder than ever. The doctor, several hospital corps men and I started off to meet the medical men of another outfit and go up to- gether. We started about 8 o'clock to go about eight kilometers to the trenches.

The ‘Fritzies’ simply could not live under that preparation and barrage, and had hauled out, offering very slight resist- ance. “Well, worked all day in the dressing stations and about dusk, pulled out for the next place further on. We spent the night in a German dugout and drank the apollina water they kindly left for wus, didn’t get poisoned either “The next day we set up in a place that had been a German ‘sick-bay’ and was pretty well equipped, By this time we had acquired o German am bulance with a pair of fine horses, and a motor ambulance going up to this place we could see work of ouy bombardment.
