NEAR, BECOMES JOKE
LONDON, Nov. 10.—(By Mail.)—
In the fighting on the Somme where
legions of men face death daily, nar
row escapes from sudden extermni
ation become trifling incidents to be
joke about at the end of the day. A
sergeant in a Yorkshire regiment de
clares nothing a man may do seems to
affect his chances of becoming a “cas
ualty.”
"I’ve seen careful men get winged
before the daredevils,” said the ser
geant, “and I’ve seen the careless men
get hit when the cautious one es
capes. Recently, one of the men in
my platoon was hit in the mouth. The
bullet came from an angle, broke one
of his teeth and glanced off, just graz
ing his lip. Ten minutes later, a bul
let dented his identity disc and later
still a bomb exploded in his pocket,
bursting outwards and hardly bruis
ing his side.”
Doctors tell of one man in the fight
ing near La Sars who went through
the experience of having three bombs
explode in his pocket without hurt
ing him. A corporal, wearing a steel
helmet, was hit by a bullet which
went in at the front of the headgear,
passed round his head, and went out
the back, smashing the steel of the
helmet. His head showed no marks.
Three soldiers were standing to
gether when a bomb burst at then
feet. A sergeant was blown into the
air and badly wounded while the oth
ers were unscratched.
I will not be responsibie for any
debts contracted by my partner in
business, Mi-s. Ollie Gray, unless upon
a written order signed by myself.

TAHOE
LONDON, Nov. 1—(By Mail.)—A
young Australian soldier, wounded
while serving as one of the crew in
a tank” has given the world the first
real story of what happens when this
newest engine of war goes into ac
tion. His diary of a week’s work in
an armored juggernaut follows:
Monday—Out for the first time.
Strange sensation. Bullets rained like
hail on a galzanized roof. Suddenly
gave a terrible lurch. Lookout said
wTe were astride an enemy trench.
“Give ’em hell,” was the order. We
did. The frightened Germans ran like
rabbits but were shot down in bunch
es. Machine guns started vicious rat
tle oi nour “hide.” Not the least im
pression. Moved on and caught an
other German dettachment. Cut then
ranks in ribbons. Prisoners very
curious, stared at us wide-eyed. First
day’s experience not pleasant. “Tank”
sickness is as bad as sea-sickness.
Tuesday—Off for another cruise.
Peppering began at once. Thought
the old tank was going to drown in
the shower of bullets. Silly blighters
thought they could rush the tank like a
fort. We fired at them point blank.
We spat at them venomously. The
blessed old tub gave a lurch. I thought
it was goodbye to earth. It was only
some German dead and wounded we
had skidded into. Rain of bullets
sounded like hundreds of rivets being
driven into the tank’s hide. We got
to like the regular rythm of it. Heav
ier strumming on our keyboard. Ma
chine gun at it. There was a tremen
dous thud along about this time.
Whole outfit thought we were done
for. Only some unwonted obstacles
along an enemy parapet. Some Huns
tried the rushing dodge. Their rush
ing days are over.
Wednesday—Early start. Roughest
voyage yet. Waves of fire seemed to
break over us. Party of Germans
came to meet us outside the trenches.
Though it was the mayor and village
notable coming to give us a warm
welcome. Mistaken. They let fly with
machine guns. Then they tried board
ing tactics. We laughed. Tank re
ception party dispersed in cloud of
smoke. Only remaining member fat
old gentleman, threw himself down be
fore us with many signs of submis
sion.
Thursday—Passed down village
street of wrecked houses. Huns rush
ed out of cellars and dugouts. One
blighter rushed at us with clubbed
rifle. Made a terrible swipe at tank.
Hurt himself more than us. Had a
nice joy ride after a bevy of fleeing
Germans, all fat men.
Friday—Early afloat. Usual show
er of bullets. Got right across a
trench. Enemy tried to run but
couldn’t. Threw up sponge. One
cheeky chap said he didn’t think it
was fair to use such fighting ma
chines. We asked him if he thought
we ought to get the kaiser’s permis
sion to use the tanks. Didn’t see the
joke. Took about 200 prisoners. Kill
ed and wounded as many more. Tired
out.
Saturday—Out before breakfast.
Terrible crash first thing. Thought
we had encountered wandering world.
Weathered storm. Rare sport. Enemy
preparing for' surprise attack. Our
surprise came first. We waddled into
their ambush. Never saw men so
frightened. Only few chaps stayed
behind. Went snorting, after them
wherever we could find (hem. Later
strong dettachements tried to make
their way back. We lined up across
road, gave them hot tiifie. Every
time they tried to rush we ripped
their ranaks to bits. They finally
gave up.
Sunday—Frightening Germans con
tinued. Ladled out death as you
might vamp out music fro ma hurdy
gurdy. Fritz got fits. No fight left
in him. Prisoners scared to death.
Some of them acted as though they
believed we used our tanks for mak
ing sausages out of prisoners.
