There was one gun in particnlar which use to get our goats. it had the exact range of our ‘“elephant” dugout. entrance, and every uvening, about the time rations were being brought up, its buliets would knock up the dust on the road; more than one Tommy went' West or to Blighty by running into them This gun got our nerves on edge, and Fritz seemed to know it, because he never gave us an hour’s rest. Our reputation as machine gunners was at stake; wo tried various ruses to locate and put this gun out of action, but each one proved to be a failure, and Fritz became a Wworse nuisance than ever. He was getting fresher and more careless every ook all kinds of ljberites,fwith us—thought he was iny le. hen ong of our erew got a brilliant idea and we were all enthusiastic to put it fo the test. Here was his scheme: When firing my gun, I was to play e, and Fritz, no doubt, would try io imitate me as an added insult. This gunner and two others_would try, by the sourd, to locate Fritz and his gun. After having got the location, they would mount two machine guns in trees; in o little clump of woods to the left of our cemetery, and while Fritz was in the middle of his leeson, would open up and trust to luck: By our calculations, it would take at least @ week to pull off the stunt. If Fritz_refused to swallow our bait, it- -vould be impossible to locate his speciai gun, and that's the one'we were after, because they all sound alike, a slow pup-pup-pup. Our prestige was hannginz hv a thread. n the batalion we had to endure all kinds of insults and\tresn remarks as to our ability in silencing Fritz. Even to the battalion that German gun _was’a sore spot. Next day Fritz opened up as usual I’let him fire away for a awhile and thén butted in with my “pup-pu-pup- pup-pup-pup.” I kept this up quite a while, used two belts of amumunition, Tritz had stopped firing to listen. Then he started in; sure emough he hud failen for our gams, his gun was irying .to imitate mine, but at first he made a horrible mess of that tune. Again I butted ir with a few bars and stopped. Then he tried to copy what I had played. He was a good sport all right, because his bullet were going away over our heads, must have been firing into the air. 1 commencd to feel friendly toward him. This dquet went on for five days. Fritz was a g0od pupil and learned rapidly, in fact, got better than his teacher, I commenced to feel jealous. When be had completely mastered the tune, he started sweeping the road again and we clicked it worse than ever. But he signed his death war- rant by doing so, because my friend- Rev.

Guy D, Winigerd - and _Mrs. Winigard ~attended the instalfation service. at the Wauregan Congrega- tional church Wednesday. The high water and ice in the Nat- chaug river Wednesday knocked out the center pier of the bridge near John M. Clark’s and let the bridge fall into the river. There are four wooden bridges on the Natchaug riv- er In town and they have always cost the town much txpense to keep in repair and replace by loss in freshets The wooden bridge at South Chaplin that went down stream in a freshet many years ago was replaced by an Iron bridge that spans the river and s a substantial bridge and has not beer disturbed by freshets. ship turneg to hate. Every time he fired he played the tune and we danced. The boys in the battalion gave us the “Ha! Ha!” They weren't in on our little frame-up. The originator of the ruse and the other two guners had Frit's location taped to the minute; they mounted their two guns, and also gave me the range. . The next afternoon was set for the grand finale. Our three guns, with different ele- vations, had their fire so arranged that opening up together, their bullets would suddenly drop on Fritz like a halistorm, About three the next day. Fritz started “pup-pupping” that_tune. blew a sharp blast on a whistle, it was the signal agreed upon; we turned loose and Fritz's gun suddenly stopped in the middle of & bar. We had eooked his goose, an our ruse had worked. after firing two belts each, to make sure of our job, we hurriedly dis- OVER THETOP over the top of his tren mounted our” guns and took cover in We knew what to expect bangs” came That gun never bothered us again. We were the heroes of the batalion, cur captain congratulated us, said it was a neat piece of work and conse- quentle we were ali puffed up over the stunt, There are several ways Tommy uses | to disguise the location of his machine gun and get his range. Some most commonly used stunts as follows: f the At night, when he mounts his gun and wants to get the range of Fritz's treneh ha adops the method of what he terms “getting the sparks.” This consists of firing bursts from his gun until the bullets hit the ‘German barged wire. He can tell when they are cutting wire because a bullet when it hits a wire throws out a biue electric spark. Machine gun fire is very dameging to wire and causes many a wiring patty to go out at night when it is quiet to repair the damage. To disguise the flare of his gun at nisht when firing, Tommy uses what is called a flare protectar. This js a stove-pipe arrangement which fits over the barrel casing of the sun aand screens the sparks from the right and left, but nor from the front. So Tommy, always resourceful, adopts this scheme. About three fcgt or less in front of the gun he drives two stakes into the zround, about five feet apart. Across these stakes he streches a curtain made of empty sandbags rippen open. He soaks this curtain in water gnd fires through it. The water Trevents it catching fire anq effectively screens the flare of tie firing gun from the enemy. Sound is a valuable asset in locat- ing a machine gun, but Tommy sur- mounts this obstacie by placing two machine guns abodt one hundred to one hundred fifty years apart. The gun on the right to cover with its fire the sector of the left gun and the gun on the left to tover that of the right gun. This makes their fire cross; they are fired simultaneously. By this method it sounds like one gun firing and gives the Germans the impression that the gun is firing from a point midway hetween the guns which are actually firing, and they ac- cordingly, shell that particular. spot. The machine gunners chuckle and say “Fritz is a brainy boy, not ‘alf he ain't” But the men in 8ur lines at the spot being shelled curses Fritz for his ig- norance and pass a few pert remarks down the line in reference to the ma- chine gunners being afraid to take their medicine.
