MACHINE GUNNER
BORE CHARMED LIFE
An American Fighter Tells of
Miraculous Escapes From
Death in Action
The most efficient fighters of the war
are the Emma Gee This Is not said by
way of confirmlns, for the thousandth
time. Mr Kipling's cynical aphorism
about the deadllness of the female of the
species, it Is the simple truth about the
work of the machine guns, whose, In
irepld operators hav been duhbed the
"Emma Oees" by the signal corps men
to avoid cpnfuslon resulting from the use
of the Initials nlone
An American machine gunner's expe
riences with the Canadian forces In the
most desperate of the earlier fighting of
the war are described bv Captain Her
bert W McBrlde In 'The Emma Oees"
The author (a a native ot Indiana, and
was for twenty years a member of the
Indiana National Guard, but on the out
break of the war went to the front, en
listing as a private tn the Twenty-first
Canadian Battalion In order to get Into
the actual fighting "It looked n
though there was g-olng to be a good
scrap on and I didn't want to miss It,"
he confesses. In explaining that his real
reason for going was slmplv "to find out
what a 'regular war" was like."
Captain McRrldo found out. He found
out In the terrible fighting at fit Elol, at
Loos, at Hill fin, at Vlmy Ridge, at
Ypres and In the mighty battle of the
Somme H found out while he climbed
back from private tn the captaincy he
abandoned as n National Ouard officer.
He found out while death mowed down
hundreds of his fellows at his very side,
while great shells burst a few feet from
him, while his machine gun was hurled
from his grasp high :n the air by shat
tering explosions nnd bj- other miracu
lous experiences and escapes that ap
parently proved him the possessor of a
charmed life It was only nfter more
than two vears of almost continuous
fighting that he was Invalided home
early list j'ear to recover from the ef
fects of countless wounds, "gassing" nnd
trench fever, the hearer of many medals
and honors and an unquenchably buoy
ant spirit
In his book Captain McBrlde tells
whit this 'regular war" Is like from the
machine gunner's viewpoint. And, to
borrow his own phrase, it is "a regular"
book It Is engiglnglv. delightfully free
from literary pose Detween its lines
gleams the soul of the born adventurer.

AMERICANS TACKLE
THE WAR AS A JOB
That's Why Germany Is Sure
to Be Defeated, Says
Coningsby Dawson
The reactions of a sentimentalist
brought face to face by force of cir
cumstance with grim realities are among
the things which cannot he conjectured
They are exhibited Interestingly In the
third war book by Coningsby Dawson,
the young English novelist who lived
in this countrv for ten vears before the
beginning of the war and In the second
year of the conflict enlisted In the
Canadian artillery, and hence feels tint
he has "a sympithetlc understanding of
the affections and aloofnesses of both
nations" with "th domestic- rle-ht nf
Indulging In a little plain -speaking to
Burn in turn.
The occasion of whit Lieutenant
Dawson elects to term plain sneerh was
a commission from the British Govern
ment to visit th American army In
France. The book which deila with
that visit Is n mingling nf observation.
Impression nnd op'nlon. and has for Its
avowed object the stimulation of a
ereater sense of hrotherhood between
the author's native' country nnd th
nation In which he lived and which
first accorded him recognition as a
novelist.
The author has unusual opportu
nities for observation He navs high
tribute to the character nnd serious
ness of American soldiers, nnd th
devoted work of the American Tied
Cro. but crldentlv he Is determined
not to forget his promise of plain speech
about both nations Which miv ex
plain whv he tells us that Amer'ci "Is
not fighting for France Great Britain
Belgium, Serbia: she Is fighting to save
herself. This talk of fighting 'or
somebody else Is all loftv twaddle.
America Is fighting for Amer'ci Wh'le
the statement Is perfectly true, Amer,
leans have a right to reent It"
When America entered the war, "we
tn the front line," confesses the author,
"were far frrom appreciating America's
dec's'on at Its full value For a vear we
hid had the uppcrhand of the Hun To
use the language of the trenches we
knew that we could go across No Man's
Land and 'beat him up' nnv time we
liked Wo believed that we were
entlrelv capable of finishing the Job
without further aid " Spice limitations
evidently prevented the nu'hor from ex
plaln'ne whv this triumphant finish was
rharltahlv withheld or renounced Per
haps, because, ns Lieutenant Dawson
liter explains, "war w Ith us (the British)
lis a sport.
With the French It Is a
martvrdom But with tho Americans It
Is n Job "
It Is ttndoubtedlv helpful to hear the
truth about ourselves, but Lieutenant
Dawson reveals his Innate kindliness of
character by mingling his "plain sneak
ing" with some tinenulvocil tributes
What Impressed m most In mv tour of
the American activities In France," lie
sivs. "Is the huslnessllk relentlessness
of the preparations Kvrrv thing Is belne

Lieutenant Davv-ons book miv con

Interpretation nf American sentiment it
has -the quality' of naivete, but it Is
