CHAPTER XVI—Continued.
—12—
"Cassell had a fancy for that par-
ticular blonde. The answer came back
in the shape of a volley of cusses,
-changed the subject.
"After a while our tnlk veered
round to the way the Boches had been
exposing themselves on the road down
■on the chart as Target 17. What he
said about those Boches would never
have passed the relchstag, though I
believe It would have gone through
•our censor easily enough.
"The bursting shells were making
#uch a din that I packed up talking
«nd took to waitching the captain. He
was fidgeting around on an old sand-
bag with the glass to his eye. Occa-
sionally he would let out a grunt, and
make some remark I couldn't hear on
account of the noise, but I guessed
what It was all right. Fritz was get-
ting fresh again on that road.
"Cassell had been sending In the 'tap
•code' to me, but I was fed up and
didn't bother with It Then he sent
O. S., and I was all attention, for this
was a call used between us which
meant that something Important was
-on. I was all ears in an Instant. Then
Cassell turned loose.
" 'You blankety blank dud, I have
been trying to raise you for fifteen
minutes. What's the matter, are you
asleep?' (Just as If Anyone could
have slept in that Infernal racket I)
•Never mind framing a nasty answer.
Just listen.'
" 'Are you game for putting some-
thing over on the Boches and Old Pep-
per all in one?'
"I answered that I was game enough
when It came to putting it over the
Boches, but confessed that I had a
weakening of the spine, even at the
mention of Old Pepper's name.
"He came back with, 'It's so absurd-
ly easy and simple that there is no
•chance of the old heathen rumbling It.
Anyway, If we're caught, I'll take the
blame.'
"Under these condition I told him to
■eplt out his scheme. It was so daring
and simple that It took my breath
away. This Is what he proposed:
"If the Boches should use that road
sgaln, to send by the tap system the
target and range. I had previously
told him about our captain talking out
loud as If he were sending through
•orders. Well, If this happened, I was
to send the dopa to Cassell and he
would transmit It to the battery com-
mander as officially coming through
the observation post. Then the bat
tery would open up. Afterwards, dur-
ing the Investigation, Cassell would
ewear he received It direct. They
•would have to relieve him, because It
' was Impossible from his post In the
battery dugout to know that the road
was being used at that time by the
Oermans. And also It was impossible
for him to give the target, range and
degrees. You know a battery chart Is
dot passed around among the men like
« newspaper from Blighty. From him
the Investigation would go to the ob-
servation post, and the observing offi-
cer could truthfully swear that I had
not sent the message by 'phone, and
that no orders to fire had been Issued
by him. The Investigators would then
be up in the air, we would be safe, the
Boches would receive a good bashing,
and we would get our own back on Old
Pepper. It was too good to be true.
I gleefully fell in with the scheme,
and told Cassell I was his meat.
"Then I waited with beating heart
and watched the captain like a hawk.
"He was beginning to fidget again
and was drumming on the sandbags
with his feet. At last, turning to me,
be said:
"'Wilson, this army Is a blankety
blank washout What's the use of hav-
ing artillery If It Is not allowed to Are?
The government at home ought to be
hanged with some of their red tape.
It's through them that we have no
shells.'
"I answered, 'Yes, sir,' and started
(ending this opinion over the wire to
Cassell, but the captain Interrupted
me with:
" 'Keep those Infernal Angers still.
What's the matter, the nerves?
When I'm talking to you, pay atten-
tion.'
"My heart sank. Supposing he had
rumbled that tapping, then all would
be up-with our plan. I stopped drum-
ming with my fingers and suld:
" 'Beg your pardon, sir. Just a habit
with me.'
" 'And a d d silly one, too,' he an-
swered. turning to his glasses again,
and I knew I was safe. He had not
tumbled to the meaning of that tap-
ping.
"All at once, without turning round,
he exclaimed:
" 'Well, of all the nerve I've ever run
across, this takes the cake. Those
Boches are using that road
again. Blind my eyes, this time it is a
whole brigade of them, transports and
all. What a pretty target for our
'4.5's.' The beggars know that we
won't fire. A d d shame, I call it,
Oh, Just for a chance to turn D 238
loose on them.'
"I was trembling with excitement.
From repeated stolen glances at the
captain's range chart, that road with
its range wus burned into my mind.
"Over the wire I tapped, 'D 238 bat-
tery, Target 17, Range 6000, 3 degrees
30 minutes, left, salvo, fire.' Cassell
O. K.'d my message, and with the re-
ceiver pressed against my ear, I wait-
ed and listened. In a couple of min-
utes very faintly over the wire came
the voice of our battery commander
issuing the order: 'D 238 battery
Salvo I Fire!'
"Then a roar through the receiver
as the four guns belched forth,
screaming and whistling overhead, and
the shells were on their way.
The captain Jumped as If he were
shot, and let out a great big expressive
<• n, and eagerly turned his glasses
in the direction of the German road.
I also strained my eyes watching that
target. Four black clouds of dust rose
up right in the middle of the German
column. Four direct hits—another
record for D 238.
"The shells kept on whistling over-
head, and I had counted twenty-four
of them when the firing suddenly
ceased. When the smoke and dust
clouds lifted the destruction on that
road was awful. Overturned limbers
and guns, wagons smashed up, troops
fleeing in all directions. The road and
roadside were spotted all over with
little field gray dots, the toll of our
guns.
"The captain, In his excitement, had
slipped off the sandbag, and was on
his knees In the mud, the slays still at
his eye. He was muttering to himself
and slapping his thigh with his disen
gaged hand. At every slap a big
round Juicy cuss word would escape
from his lips followed by:
"'Good! Fine! Marvelous! Pretty
Work I Direct hits all.'
"Then he turned to me and shouted :
"'Wilson, what do you think of it?
Did you ever see the like of it In your
life? D n fine work, I call It.'
"Pretty soon a look of wonder stole
over his face and he exclaimed:
" 'But who In h—1 gave them the
order to fire. Range and everything
correct, too. I know I didn't. Wilson,
did I give y^u any order for the bat-
tery to open up? Of course I didn't,
did I?'
"I answered very emphatically, 'No,
sir, you gave no command. Nothing
went through this post. I am abso-
lutely certain on thnt point, sir.*
" 'Of course nothing went through,'
he replied. Then his face fell, and he
muttered out loud:
'"But, by Jove, wait till Old Pep-
per gets wind of this. There'll be fur
flying.'
Just then Bombardier Cassell cat In
on the wire:
'General's compliments to Captain
A . He directs that officer and sig-
naler report at the double to brigade
headquarters as soon as relieved. Re-
lief now on the way.'
"Iu an undertone to me, 'Keep a
brass frttnt, Wilson, and for God's
sake, stick.' I answered with, 'Kely on
me, mate,' but I was trembling all over.
"I gave the general's message to the
captain, and started packing up.
"The relief arrived, and as we left
the post the captain said:
" 'Now for the fireworks, and I know
they'll be good and plenty.' They were, j
"When we arrived at the gun pits
the battery commander, the sergeant
major and Cassell were waiting for ns.
We fell in line and the funeral march
to brigade headquarters started.
"Arriving at headquarters the bat-
tery commander was the first to be
Interviewed. This was behind closed
doors. From the roaring and explo-
sions of Old Pepper It sounded as If
raw meat was being thrown to the
Hons. Cassell, later, described It as
sounding like a bombing raid. In about
two minutes the officer reappeared.
The sweat was pouring from his fore-
head, and his face was the color of a
beet. He was speechless. As he
passed the captnln he Jerked his thumb i
In the direction of the lion's den and
went out. Then the captain went In,

"Land of Lanterns."
Among the Chinese there has exist-
ed for ages a passion for fireworks nnd
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river nnd canal, as soon
ns night comes on, the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door of every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the I life.

The first record of the use of springs
on railways Is George Stephenson's
patent of September, 18iG. The first
locomotive with steel springs was the

In 1820, and now in South Kensington
museum, London. This had laminated
springs on the leading wheels.

also to gamblers of all description nnd
employees nnd attendants of bucket-
shops and race tracks, fortune tellers,

who for the purpose of the regulations
shall be considered as idlers.
New Rule Is Sweeping.
"The new regulation will also affect
the following classes:
"(a) Persons engaged In the serving
of food and drink, or either, In public
places, including hotels and social
clubs.
"(b) Passenger elevator operators
and attendants, doormen, footmen nnd
other attendants of clubs, hotels,

stances.
"The regulation further provides
that where such a change of employ-
ment would compel the night employ
ment of women under circumstances
which a hoard might deem unsuitable
for such employment of women the
board may take such circumstances
Into consideration In making Its de-
cision."
General Crowder Explains Plan.
Explaining the new regulation and
the necessity for It, General Crowder
sit Id:
"The war has so far disorganized
the formal adjustment of Industrial
man power ns to prevent the enor-
mous Industrial output and nntlonnl
organization necessary to success.
"There Is a popular demand for or-
ganization of man power, but no di-
rect draft could be imposed at pres-
j ent.
"Steps to prohibit Idleness and non-
! effective occupation will be welcomed
by our people.
"We shall give the Idlers and men
Wilson "ot effectively employed the choice be-
tween military service and effective
employment. Every man, In the draft
age at least, must work or fight.
"This Is not alone a war or mili-
tary maneuver. It Is a deadly contest
of Industries and mechanics.
Must Copy German Machine.
"Germany must not be thought of as
merely possessing an army, we must
think of her ns being un army—/n
army In which every fnctory and loom
In the empire is n recognized part In
a complete machine running night nnd
dny at terrific speed. We must make
of ourselves the same sort of effective
machine.
"It Is not enough to nsk what would
happen if every man in the nation turn-
ed Ills hand to effective work. We
must tnnke ourselves effective. We
must organize for the future. We
must make vast withdrawals for the
army and Immediately close up the
rnnks of Industry behind the gup with
an accelerating production of every
Kteful thing In necessary measure.
How Is this to be done?
"The answer Is plain. The first step
toward the solution of the difficulty Is
to proh.hlt engagement by able-bodied 1
men In the field of hurtful employ- I
ment, Idleness or Ineffectual employ-
ment, and thus Induce and persunue
the vast wasted excess Into useful
tb'liis.
"The very situation we ore now con-
sidering, however, offers great possi-
bilities In Improvement of the draft as |
well as great possibilities for the com-
position of the lnhor situation by ef-
fective administration of the draft.
Considering tile selective service law,
we see two principal causes of detri-
ment of the cull to military service—
exemption and the order numbers as-
signed by lot.
Exemptions In Two Categories.
"The exemptions themselves fall Into
two conspicuous categories—depend-
ency und Industrial employment. One
protects domestic relations, the other
the economic Interests of the nation.
Between the two there Is an Inev-
itable hiatus, for It Is demonstrably
true that thousands, If not millions, of
dependent y exemptions have no ef-
fect of Industrial protection whatever.
"One of the unanswerable criticisms
of the draft has been that It takes men
from the farms aiid from all useful
employments and marches them past
crowds of idlers and loufers to the
army. The remedy Is simple—to couple
th< Industrial basis with other grnunds
for exemption and to require thnt nny
man pleading exemption on any ground
sluill also show that he Is contribut-
ing effectively to the Industrial wel-
fare of the tuition."
