DEPEW IS CAUGHT IN ZEPPELIN RAID AND HAS EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
8ynop«l«.—Albert N. Depew, author of the atory, tells of his service
Id the United States navy, during which he attained the runk of chief
petty officer, urst-c.uss cunre- The world war sturts soon after he
receives his honon'b'o dhcLaige from the navy, and he leaves for
France with a deiemunaluu* to enlist. He Joins the Foreign Legion and
Is assigned to the ureudnaught Cassard, where his marksmanship wins
him high honors. Later he Is transferred to the land forces and sent to
the Flanders front. He gets his first experience in a front line trench at
Dlxmude. He goes “over the top” and gets his first German In u bay-
onet fight.
CHAPTER VII—Continued.
I surely wished I was the gunner
officer. I would have enjoyed it more
if I could have got back at Frit*
somehow. But I was not the gunner
officer und I told him so. I had to
shout at him quite a while before he
■would believe me. Then he wanted
me to find the gunner officer, but I
did not know where to find him. If I
could have got to our guns I guess I
would have had another medal for
working overtime, but I missed the
chance there.
About this time another bomb came
over and clouted out the best friend
I had In my company. Before the
war he had been one of the finest sing-
ers In the Paris opera houses. When
he was with us he used to say that
the only difference between him and
Caruso was $2,500 a night.
A polln and I dragged him Into a
dugout, but It was too late. One side
of his face was blown off; the whole
right side of him was stripped off
and four fingers of the right hand
were gone.
I stuck my head out of the dugout
and there was the captain discussing
the matter with himself, cursing the
Germans from here to Helgoland and
putting in a word for the bombs every
once In a while. All up and down the
trenches you could hear our men
cursing the Germans In ell kinds of
languages. Believe me, I did my bit
and I could hear somebody else using
good old United Stntes cuss words,
too. It certa'nly did noi make me feel
any better, but it gave me something
to do. I think that was why all of
us cursed so much then, though we
were pretty handy with languuge at
any time. But when you are under
heavy fire like that and cannot give
It back as good as you get, you go
crazy unless you have something to do.
Cussing Is the best thing we could
think of.
Up the trench the third bay was
aimply smashed in and the Germans
were placing bomb after bomb right
In It and in ours. The captain yelled
out that he was going up to the next
bay to examine It, but no more had
he got there than he had his head
taken clean off his shoulders.
At daybreak our trenches were all
pounded in and most of our dugouts
were filled up. Then Fritz opened up
with his artillery fire right on us. We
thought they were going to charge and
we figured their barrage would lift
and we could see them come over.
We received orders to stand to with
fixed bayonets. Then the man at the
periscope shouted, “They come!”
A battery directly behind us went
Into action first and then they all
Joined in and Inside of five minutes
about eight hundred guns were raising
Cain with Fritz. The Boches were
caught square In No Man’s Land and
our rifles and machine guns simply
mowed them down. Many of them
came hnlf way across, then dropped
their guns and ran for our trenches
to give themselves up. They could not
have got back to tlielr own trenches.
It was a shame to wnste a shell on
these poor fish. If they had been civ-
vies the law would prevent you from
hitting them—you know the kind.
They could hardly drag themselves
along.
That Is the way they look when you
have got them. But when they have
got you—kicks, cuffs, bayonet jabs—
there Is nothing they will not do to
add to your misery. They seem to
think that it boosts tlielr own courage.
An artillery fire like ours was great
fun for the gunners, but It was not
much fun for Fritz or for us In the
trenches. We got under cover almost
as much as Fritz and held thumbs for
tfie gunners to get through In a hurry.
Then the fire died down and It was
•o quiet It made you Jump.
We thought our parapet was busted
up a good deal, but when we looked
througlf the periscope we saw what
had heppened to Frits' trenches and,
believe me, they were practically
ruined.
Out In No Man's Land it looked like
Woolwerth'a flve-and-ten; everywhere
were gray uniforms, with tlncups and
accouterments that belonged to the
Germans before our artillery and ma-
chine guns got to them.
Our stretcher bearers were busy,
carrying the wounded back to first-aid
dressing station, for, of course, we bad
suffered too. From there the blesses
were shipped to the clearing station.
The dead lay in the trenches all day
and at night they were carried out
by working parties to “Stiff park,” as
I called It
A man with anything on his mind
ought not to go to the front-line
trenches. He will be crazy Inside of
a month. The best way Is not to
care whether It rains or snows: there
are plenty of Important things to
worry about
CHAPTER VIII.
.1-
On Runner Service.
One night a man named Bartel and
I were detailed for runner service and
were Instructed to go to Dlxmude and |
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call the burgomaster and !
report to the branch staff hendquar- |
ters that had been secretly located in
another part of town. VVe were to
travel In an automobile and keep a
sharp watch as we went, for Dlxmude
was being contested hotly at that time
and German pntrols were In the neigh-
borhood. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out from the third-
line trenches, but very shortly one of
O’.i'* “Utposts stopped us. Bartel car-
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too, so It was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after a bit of arguing. Just
as we were leaving a message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
It was lucky they stopped us, for oth-
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone, that If a French flag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; If a
Belgian, that our forces were either
In control or were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. After this we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept a sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings—
and perhaps, If It should be a German
flag, a timely warning. But after we
were down the road a bit and hud got
clear we saw a Belgian flag whipping
around in a good, strong breeze. But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place It also Indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Wbieh was not so cheerful.
As we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hall several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves hack
just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold of
a man who came out from a little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
It up considerably, killing and wound-
ing a few inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward a small force of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
Boches out. The Germans were ex-
pected either to return or begin u bom-
bardment at any moment and all the
Inhabitants who sported cellars were
hiding in them. The rest were trying
to get out of town with their belong-
ings as best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vllle, where
we were admitted and after a short
wait taken to the burgomaster. We
questioned him as to news, for we had
been instructed to pick up any Infor-
mation be might have as to conditions.
But we did not get much, for he could
not get about because of the Germans,
who had made It a policy to terrorize
the people of the town.
We had Just got Into the ear and
were about to start when the burgo-
master himself came running out. He
ordered us to leave the car there and
said he would direct ua where to go.
He Insisted that we go on foot, but I
could not understand when be tried
to explain why.
Wo soon saw the probable reason
for the burgomaster's refusal to ride
In the car. All around for about a
mile the roads were heavily mined and
amall red flags on Iron staves were
stuck between the cobblestones, as
warnings no; to put In much time
around those places. Also, there were
notices stuck up all around warning
people of the mines and forbidding
heavy carts to pass. When we got
off the road I breathed again!
After a great deal of questioning we
finally reached our destination and
made our report to the local command-
ant. We told him all we could and In
turn received various luformatlon
from him. We were then taken over
to the hotel. Here we read a few
Burls newspapers, that were several
weeks old, until about eight, when we
bud dinner, and a flue dinner It was,
too.
After we had eaten all we could, and
wished for moie room In the hold, we
went out Into the gnrdeu und yarned
n while with some gendurmes, und
then went to bed. We hud a big room
on the third floor front. We had Just
turned in, and were all set for a good
night's rest, when there was an explo-
sion of a different kind from any I
had heard before, and we and the bed
rocked nbout, like a canoe In the wuke
of a stern-wheeler.
There were seven more explosions,
and then they stopped, though we
could hear the rattle of a machine gun
at some distance away. Bartel said It
must be the forts, und ufter some argu-
ment I agreed with him. He said that
the Germans must have tried an ad-
vance under cover of a bombardment,
und that as soon as the forts got Into
action the Germans breezed. We were
not worried much, so we did not get
out of bed.
A few minutes later we heard foot-
steps on the roof, and then a woman
In a window across the street, asking
a gendurme whether It was safe to go
back to bed. Then I got up and took
a look Into the street. There were a lot
of people standing around talking, hut
It was not Interesting enough to keep
a tired man up, so back Into the hay.
It seemed about the middle of the
night when Bartel called me, but he
suld It was time to get out and got to
work. We found he hud made a poor
tary commandant, right under a big
glass-dome skylight. This house was
now a very pretty ruin, and It was just
as well that we left when we did. You
could not even find a splinter of the
big round table. The next time I ait
under a glass skylight In Dlxmude. I
want a lad with a Uve eye for Zeppe-
lins on guard outside.
Something about the branch head-
quarters mins made us think of break-
fast. which we had forgotten, so back
to the hotel. Then we started back to
our lines. We were ordered to keep
to the main road all the way back, or
we would be shot on sight, and to re
port to headquarters Immediately on
our return. I thought If tha sight of
me was so distasteful to anybody, I
would not take the chance of offend-
ing, being anxious to be polite in such
cases. So we stuck to the main road.
rrltz did not give us any trouble and
we were bac* by five, with nil hunds
out to greet us when we hove In sight,
and a regular prodigal son welcome on
tup. for we were later than they had
expected us, am! they hud made up
their minds that some accident had
happened.
While I was uround Dlxmude, I saw
many living men and women und chil-
dren who had been mutlluted by the
Gernmns, but most of them were wom-
en and children. A.most every one
of the mutilated men was too old for
mllltur> service. The others hud been |
killed, I guess.
But the Belgians were not the only
ones who hml suffered from German
kultur. Many French wounded were
tortured by the Huns, and we were
constantly finding the mutilated bodies
of our troops. It wus thought that the
Germans often mutilated u dead body
as an example to the living.
The Gennuns hud absolutely no re-
spect whatever for the Ited Cross. For
Instance, they captured a wugon loud-
ed with forty French wounded, and
shot every one of them. I saw the
dead bodies.
When the Germans came to Dlx-
mude they got all the men and women
and children and made them murch
before them with their hands In the
air. Those who did not were knocked
down. After a while some of them saw
what they were going to get, and being
as game sports as I ever heard of, tried
to fight. They were finished ofi at
once, of course.
The former burgomaster had beeu
shot and finished off with an ax,
though he hud not resisted, because he
wanted to save the lives of his citi-
zens. They told me of one case. In Dlx-
mude, where a man came out of his
house, trying to carry his father, a
man of eighty, to the squnre, where
they were ordered to report. The old
man could not raise Ids hands, so they
dragged hls son awuy front him,
knocked the old man In the head with
an ax, and left hint there to die. Those
who were spared were made to dig the
graves for the oMiers.
There was a doctor there in Dlx-
mude, who certainly deserves a mili-
tary cross If any man ever did. lie
was called from hls house by the Ger-
mans at 0:!{() one morning. He left Ids j
wife, who had had a baby two days
STATEHOUSE BREVITIES !
GOOD CROP PROSPECTS.
The prospects for a bumper wheat
crop were never better In Oklahoma.
The November report shows a gain of
nearly 100 per cent over the growing
condition of wheat in November, 1917.
The monthly crop summary for No-
board of agriculture, reports ths con-
dition of v heat is 93 per cent while
In October It was reported at 85 per
cant, against 61 per cent for Novem-
ber, 1917.
Reports from every part of the stats
show the ground is In excellent con-
dition with an abundance of moist-
ure and everything favoring the great-
est wheat crops next year that Okla-
homa has ever produced.
The acreage cut for hay this year
Is reported at 89 per cent of that of
1917, a falling off due to the lack of
moisture during the summer and early
fall. Sorghum cutting also fell off
nearly half this year, for the same
reason, the average yield for fodder
being 1.9 tons against 2.5 tons lust
year.
Farmers have on hand from this
year s crop 50 per cent of corn, 11
per cent of wheat, 82 per cent of oats
and 6."> per cent of kafir or mllo, a
much lower record than In 1917. Dur
Ing the last month farmers have con-
sumed ami marketed 12 per cent of
corn. 5 per cent of wheat, 5 per cent
of oats and 18 per cent of kafir and
inilo.
The average price received by the
farmer for lint cotton per pound Is 26
cents, kafir and mllo. $1.57 per bushel,
alfalfa $29 per ton and hay, $22 per
ton. On the corresponding date In
1917 lint cotton brought 27 cents per
pound, alfalfa $24 per ton and prairie
hay $16 per ton.

We Were Constantly Finding the Muti-
lated Bodies of Our Troops.
guess, for when we were half dressed
he looked at hls watch and It was only
a quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since we were that far
along, nnd then go down and cruise for
a breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some of the hotel people It took them
a long time to get It through our heads
that there had been some real excite-
ment during the night. The explosions
were those of bombs dropped by a
Zeppelin, which hud sailed over the
city.
The first bomb hud fallen less than
two hundred yards from where w’e
slept. No wonder the bed rocked! It
hud struck a narrow three-story house
around the corner from the hotel, nnd
had blown it to bits. Ten people had
been killed outright, and a number
died later. The bomb tore a fine hole
nnd hurled pieces of itself several hun-
dred ynrds. The street itself was
filled with rocks, nnd a number of
houses were down, and others wreck-
ed. When we got out into the street
and talked with some army men we
found that even they were surprised
by the force of the explosion.
We learned that the Zepp had sailed
not more than five hundred feet above
the town. Its motor had been stopped
jost before the first bomb was let go,
and it hud slid along perfectly silent
and with nil lights out. The purr that
we had thought wus machine guns,
after the eighth explosion, was the
starting of the motor, as the Zepp got
out of range of the guns that were be-
ing set for the attack.
The last bomb had struck in a large
square. It tore a hole In the cobble-
stone pnvemeut about thirty feet
square and five feet deep. Every win-
dow on the square was smashed. The
fronts of the houses were riddled with
various sized holes. All the crockery
and china and mirrors in the bouse
were In fragments.
Not much more than an hour before
the Zepp came, we had been sitting In

Doctor Laurent carried hls wife and

for three days and three nights, on the

Germans killed and crucified the civil-
ians at Dlxmude, they first robbed
them of their watches, pocketbooks, renew his fight in the coming session

Saws for Cutting Metal.
Not so very long ago the discovery
was made in Germany that metals
could l»e sawed easier and quicker
with rapnby revolving smooth disks
of steel, than with toothed circular
saws. It was found that the cutting
was done by the heat generated by
the friction of the edge of the disk
against the laetal. The metal Is melt-
ed at the point of contact, while the
steel of the disk, being cooled by the
ulr, does not reach the melting point
The disks need no sharpening and do
not wear out so quickly as the toothed
savrs heretofore used for cutting met-
aL The faster the disk revolves, the
greater the amount of heat generated,
aod the quicker the Job.—Popular Sci-
ence Monthly.

Numerous protests have been pouring

The capitol will remain domeless
for another two years, If not longer.
At least, this Is Indicated by the at-
titude of legislators-elect on the propo-
sition of adding the customary aerial
ornament. Architects estimated two
years ago that the addition of the
dome would cost approximately $200,-
000. This estimate was based upon
pre-war prices. Now It 1b said It
could not be put on for anything like
that sum. The new members belleva
the money that would be required to
build the dome can be put to bettei
