WAR CORRESPONDENT DESCRIBES
REAL FIGHTING
An Austrian war .jurrespondent writ's
of fighting on the rre.wm a bum front i
Jannary. He says:
••On Junuury 111 1 was the gm 1 > ! i
howitzer buttery at the llessaramau
front, in the immediate vicinity «>1 Top
routz. it was located on an open mea
dow, covered by mud, a description of
which sounds like fiction. The mud' ami
mire resembled soft mortar. Had its i »p
frozen over night we would have missed
some pauses of that mud.
MUD IS EVEHYWHEHM
"After every step we made the lip id
mud receded, clambered up on o a
limbs affectionately and leisurely i e, , ,
eu into our shoes. Fortuna t« I. . u id
located a barn in time, and thus were
sure of a roof ovei our leads The gar.,
tiers hud, just like gophers, dug hoi s . i
ilte ground under tin* ammunition < u
next to the howitzers.
"We rammed wooden posts into t
soft, muddy soil beneath the shiny w.n
covered the tops with hoards . ml , .i
tent leaves over tilt wnole span. I'll -
we passed the day. \V« trawled in ,
sleeping bags and limse blankets, pull I
hags, hides and skins over mu hodi -
and stretched our bodies over the fine.,
which was covered by a thin J.t \u t a
straw. \, e fell asleep immediately.
HA IN OF UJFLK HILLFTF.
"Toward t o'eluek I awoke .sudden ,
and felt as though it was raining. V. ■
listened eagerly, but felt m> ram dm,
tailing, though tile noise was \er> mu
like that of rain. \V. emerg'd |j . |.
