L1EI TENANT BIbKS DEATH
TO SHARE 'HELL FIRE
Captain Fays Tribute to Bravery
And Accuracy of Gunners
PARIS, Jan. 24—A French artil
lery captain tells the following
rtory of operation in Alsace:
“We had decided to get rid of a
machine gut shelter that had been
annoying us a great deal and while
we were about to knock the front
hue of German trenches to pieces.
The lutes were so close that the
te-.onfcl ordered all the front trench
es to he evacuated except for my
■teutenant who had voluntered to
-tay there and direct the fire.
“My battery opened fire and af
ter a few rounds my lieittanant tel
ephoned that we were doing well but
that if we .-hortened our range 20
yards it would be still better. As
ns range was over 3,500 yards I
asged him if he was sure I coaid
shorter, it without danger to him.
He answered that it was quite safe
After a number of rounds he tele
phoned me again to shorten the
range, this time by 10 yards. Then,
he said, ‘your shells will be falling
right on the front line of German
irencnes.' I to.d Mm that I woald
do it, but that fee would of cotirte
retire to the second line.
i gave him time to get away
and then began again. Ten min
utes .ater, to my amazement, the
telephone rang again. My lieaten
ant had stayed at his port although
a perfect hall of trench shells was
bursting on the German trenches
just seven yards away form him. We
measured the distance. It says
something for out gunners that
'-T--7 t-rse shell had bam in the
French trench.”
