VISION OF FINAL VICTORY SPURS
By PHILIP GIDDS
Continued from rune On
the dawn lightened its trees, sticking
out of deep swamps, from which there
roso vvufts of stencil, where dead
things lay' rotting. Sandbag emplace
ments, where men had little shelter
from storms of fire, were white against
the charred earth, and black stumps
were everywhere for miles up this
valley to Irles and Achlet-le-Petlt and
Grcvillcrs and other places hear Ba.
paume, where the British had been
fighting hard these last few days.
All this tumult ot the tortured
earth, all these pits dug by shells, all
this wild destruction ot places ruined
ln the first year of tho war and man
gled ever since, were strewn with
lellcs of German life nnd German
death, newly littered here. Their great
steel helmets, punctured by bullets or
torn like paper by shell splinters, lay
in thousands, with gas masks and
rifles and cartridge belts and gray
coats.
Transport's Pet Dos Killed
Along every mile of the way lay
rows of stick bombs, never used
against the British, and dumps of un
exploded shells, hideous in their poten
tiality. A few dead horses lay on
each side ot the tracks, as they had
gone trudging up with the British
transport before being shot. Beside
one horse lay a dead white dog, the
pet of the transport column.
For a picture of war an artist like
Orpen should have been here, but the
men hereabout had other work to do.
They were getting on with the busi
ness of bringing up guns across the
wild wastes of cratered ground, rul
ing up pits In the roads for the trans
ports to pa&s, tearing up broken rails
that new ones might be laid, riding
and marching forward to support their
comrades ln another day of flshtlng,
They were mostly New Zealanders
on this way, and although bad stuff
wni flying about the enemy was
crumping Grevlllers nnd Achlet-le-Petit
and scattering "high velocities"
about in a vicious random way many
of theso lads did not trouble them
selves to wear steel helmets, but kept to
their slouch hats With the dandy red
band.
I poked my head into a tent to get
some direction and found a New Zea
land officer Just waking up from a too
brief slep. "How are things going?"
I asked, nnd he said: "Oh, fine! Our
boys have done greatly and are still
going ahead."
He sat up to tell me some of their
adventures, how they found machine
gun nests, how the Germanu counter
atacked a day or two ago and got
very near to the field batteries, which
were far forward.
Gunners Talte Prisoners
"What do you think?" he said.
'Those gunners of ours fought at
polntblank range until the Germans
were nearly up to their 'muzzles and
took seven prisoners of their own,
which Is pot In the artillery contract.
The are devilish amused with them'
selves and rlave reaso: to be."
So I went on to Bapaume with
quickened pulse over trenches taken
only Thursday and still bristling with
parts of German machine gun, which
were densely emplaced along the line.
The New Zealanders werw organizing
their own defenses-ln the old German
trenches, oiling their rifles. They

And before the Ambassador could re1

of victory.
Bapaume Is not much different to
day fiom when I last saw It before
the German avalanche a few months
ago. Since then the British guns have
pounded it, flying men have gone over
it at nllght, dropping down tons of
explosives, and now tho enemy Is shell
ing it again, but what difference can
there be ln a place already a ruined
scrapheap ot broken houses, except
more holes ln the walls, broken roofs
rebroken, brick work smashed Into
smaller dust?
1 prowled ..bout the streets of Ba
paume, through tho gaping walls of
houses, over piled wreckage, and found
it the same old Bapaume as when I
left It, except that some of the Brit
ish huts and the officers' clubhouse
and home Y. M. C. A. tehts and shel
ters had been blown to bits like every
hlng else. This was the chief differ
ence, except again for many sign
boards showing the recent occupa
tion by tho enemy.
One notice caught my eye, and I
saw the same message of warning as
in Grevlllers nnd Achlet and other
places near Bapaume showing how
effective had been tho work of the
British airmen In striking terror to
tho German soldier. It said, "Weg
vor der strasse; hier linden euch
feindliche" ("keep off the street hero;
you will find hostile airmen"). These
notices vvero even ln tho open coun
try down the battlefield tracks, tell
ing how the British airmen had
swooped over them all with their con
stant menace.
Finds An Editor Kldeman
Prowling- about those sinister streets
of Bapaume I met a fellow ln a steel
hat who had a valuable box of
matches, which was good for two
cigarettes, and ln a friendly conversa
tion he told me that before he became
a rifleman of the New Zealanders he
was the editor of a newspaper ln his
country and fond of literature. Wo
exchanged views on the war and life
and shellllre and ruins, and he told
me how some days ago, when ho was
outside Pulsieux with his platoon, they
had been badly troubled by German
machine guns ln front of them. The
editor was one of six men who went
out to get rid of this trouble, If they
had luck, and they not only brought
in a machine gun, but twenty-six pris
oners as well, being the first batch
from Pulsieux. It was another little
experience for a man who was more
ready for a fountain pen than a rifle
before the world went to war.
In the streets ot Bapaume I picked
up a book dropped ln a hurry by some
poor devil who will never read It.
"Der kraft der stron, der frieden, das
meer der gnade" ("The source of pow
er, ot peace, the sea of grace"), and
I think when I have time I shall read
it to And out the angle ot German
philosophy with regard to the war.
It ought tar make good reading, though
not perhaps as the author intended.
Guns Far Forward
At 8:30 o'clock another action be
gan outside Bapaume and for half an
hour or more the British drumfire was
very fierce and heavy, I was amazed
to find' the guns so far forward, heavy
guns as well as field guns, but all
through the recent fighting the New
Zealand gunners have been like grey
hounds on, the scent, and have fol
lowed their Infantry with amazing
speed and skill.

The bellowing guns seemed to shake
these old battlefields nnd stir their
troubled earth. Field batteries within
short range of the enemy were knock
ing like postmen In the London streets
with double rat-tats as children might
dream of them at -night.
The New Zcalanders and English
troops were attacking Fremlcourt and
the high ridge northeast of Bapaume
overlooking Beugny, while RIencourt
was being approached by other Eng
lish troops, and further south the
British were working toward Beaulen
court. Successes ln these attacks
would give the strongest defensive
lines around Bapaume, and put the
enemy ln a pcrtleus position.
Tho New Zealanders have never
been still since I went among them
one month ago in Hebuterne and Ros
signol wood, when even then they
were harrying the enemy out of his
lines. Since then, after August 8, they
advanced thirteen miles, and always,
as pne of their officers told me, have
been leading the hounds in the pack
on the way to Bapaume.'
New Zealanders In Hard Fighting
At the beginning ot the British ad
vance they attacked Pulsieux, Joined
upon the right with English troops
ln the valley of the Ancre and helped
to take Beauregard Dovecote, an Im
portant spot which the enemy defend
ed desperately, so that there was hard
fighting there. Three of the forward
observing officers of the New Zea
landers, very gallant fellows, took
twenty-three prisoners unaided. About
300 German birds were hauled out of
the Dovecote by their men.
They then Joined with the .English
ln a big attack on Bucquoy, Irles and
Achlet-le-Grand, and afterward cap
tured Loupart wood, which I saw
yesterda, as many times ln the old
days, with Its thin fringe of branch
less trees staring away for miles over
the Somme battlefields, on the lift
side of the Albert-Bapaume road.
Grevlllers fell to them Grevlllers
with Its ruined church through which
the sunlight streamed, and Into which
German shells came crashing, and
then with English troops fighting
most splendidly on their right they
flung a loop arotuid Bapaume by the
suburb of Favreull. The taking of
Beugnalre, "Bug nature," as the Tom
mies call it, by English troops sealed
the fate of Bapaume, and when the
New Zealanders and their English
comrades swung down northeast of
the town afmost to the railway the
enemy saw that his game was up ln
this part ot the world, and decided
to quit.
Bapaume Now Safely British
The New Zealand boys had no need
to take it by storm. They entered
fighting through machine posts out
Bide and took possession ot Its streets,
having only three casualties ln the
town itself. That ,ws Thursday and
now Bapaume Is safely British, with
the troops dribbling away over the
heights beyond.

IRON DIVISION'S VALOR
DESCRIBED BY BUGLER
W. R. Trautschold, of 109th,
Writes Mother of Penn
sylvanians' Courage
The story of how the American troops
from this section threw back trie prize
soldiers of tho Oermany army the
itoyal Guards on July 17. during the V
fighting In France, winning for them-
selves the name of "Iron Division," is
told In a letter received here by Mrs. .
M. Berger, EOOD Bonsall street, from
her son, Bugler William rt. Trautschold,
of Company I. 109th P.eglment,
Trautschold was wounded July 28 ten i
days after he wrote the letter In which '
he described the first- engagement -he
was in. j
"We started for our sector on July 5," v
he wrote, "where wo Etayed untl( July J"
15, when the Germans came at us. We ,
had quite a lively time of It frdm then
until today. There were borne casual- ,i
ties in our regiment, but none in our 1
company,
"On July 17 we drove the Germans
beck five miles. We were then released
by French troops. Today we received
word from General Pershing that we did ,
great work, and they have changed our i.
name from- tho Keystone Division 'o
the Iron Division. That means much -
to old Phllly, because we held on. like ,
