We'll do It Tell them to have Km.tjSii, hot Are Koine at Ullage when W5et back;" It waa a low-toned conversation between Ingoing and outgoing American battalions taking lessons In trench warfaro by actual experience. It shows tho spirit of the American soldiers as they exchange places on the firing line. The first battalions, halng completed the given parlod of learnlrg in actual battle, moted silently out ot the trenches on a certain moonlight night. Their return march .was over froien ground and wns marked only by tho sudden encountering of other American battalions en route to the trenches and distinguishable from tho French only by the shape of their helmets The return ing ones wcro tired and muddy but thor oughly happy. The straw beds, or ' Rouen billet"," placed In long rows In the frame barracks, looked mighty good to tho ' Sammcca" who have been sleeping some nights In wet dugouts and spending many hours In the trenches. CSET SOME EXTRA SLEEP By the majority of these companies, re- ellle was postponed an hour In order to gl an ex'.ra chance for sleep, and It as 8 o'clock before many of them turned out for their "chuck " They were full of stories of their experiences and wero ready to pour them Into the ears of eery one thc met "It wasn't so darn bad up there," sild a sergeant, who Is a veteran of the Doer war as he po.lshed his rifle "Dut they wouldn't glvo me a chance to use this old btlck. Next time I go up I would like to be able to pot a regular German ' That Just about sums up the statements ot all the Sammecs. "It was not Just like sle plng In mother's Md feather bed " tald a oungster from Pennsylvania "Especially On those wet nights It didn't fee. that way Hut that's what we came over here for. I'm mighty glad to get a little rest back here but nobody will kick when they start us back In again" Aside from the old-timers and enthusi astic youngsters who kicked that they didn't get a chance to nhoot. the chief kicker was a red-necked sergeant, n etcran of the Philippine and Mexican campaigns Ho stood disconsolately against a barn door lewlng the first men from the trenches en route to the rear PLAYS WITH CHILDREN "Darned that blankety blank doctor ' he exclaimed. "Ho wouldn t let me go up there because he said I had a cold and might get pneumonia. Wonder what ho thought I en listed for? All I can do Is to sit hero and play with a couple of French kids " From the different battalions at the front came the same report about the quiet con ditions there. Tho first day the troops ex perienced rain alt along the line. When It cleared up later there was a.n Increase In the early fire. An ofllcer laughingly told how he had visited an obseration post one morning and was greeted with a shower of shrapnel He said he quickly ducked Into a dugout and stayed there for an hour until the hall of lead was over The Germans, the officer said, have been shelling the American trenches In desultory fashion. They have dropped occasional ex plosive sjirapnel near the trenches, but tempted no systematic bombardment A few American soldiers took pot shots at Germans In distant trenches or at Her man working parties behind the lines One night the Germans directed a steady fire at one of the American trenches for several minutes, evidently thinking they had seen a. movement In the barbed wire as If a patrol was going out. Not a Blngle case of pneumonia has been reported among the returning Sammees. ONLY ONE SICK MAN Only one man was sent back sick from the first battalions to go Into the trenches Heveral men were suffering from "trench feet " Their feet were swollen and ap parently Infected. A few others had colda, but that was all "I neer saw a body of finer and healthier men." said a major who watched the re turning men. The village where tho troops stopped after they came back looked like the Bronx on wash day after the troops had been there a. few hours. The hillside trees and jheusea were covered with the Sammees' Clothing hung out to dry. The first thing the men had to do after getting back was to take a gasoline bath. This was for disinfectant purposes Many ef the Sammees have lost their campaign hats and now are wearing their steel hel mets all the time.
