A little girl gavo a children's party

friends. Sho was vcry anxious that
everything should bo dono properly,
and Just beforo tho arrival of tho
guests was discussing matters with
her mother. v
"Mamma," she asked, "shall wo say
grace?"
"No," said mamma; "it will bo n
very informal dinner, and I think
you need not do that."
That meant ono ceremony the less
to bo gono through, and was a relief.

Thrills for Oskar Hocker Ages

Berlin. Until a certntn day last
summer Paul Oskar Hocker, one of
Germany's leading "best seller" writ
ers, divided his time between writing
novels and plays and admiring tho
roses in his little garden closo to Ber
lin. Then, with tho suddenness of a
lightning stroke, ho realized, as did
hundreds of thousands of others, what
"a nation in arms" means. Paul Oskar
Hocker, novelist, playwright and lover
of flowers, became overnight Captain
Hocker at the head of n company In
the first resorve, giving orders to other
men, clothed all alike in tho famous
German field gray, men who tho day
before had been, ono a painter, anoth
er a cook, another a sculptor, another
a gravediggor.
With hundreds of othors thoy piled
Into a troop train and headed for Bel
glum. Exactly onco more, tho last
time for many months, was Hocker re
minded of the life ho had left behind
him. That was when, a young girl ap
proached him as he was washing his
face at ono of tho last German stations
where tho troop train stopped and
bluohlngly asked:
"They they tell mo you aro Hock
er, the famous novelist? Is It truo?"
Left His Autograph.'
Captain Hocker nodded.
"Then, will you please glvo me your
autograph?" -
While the warning whistle of the
train announced Its speedy departuro,
Paul Oskar Hocker, novelist, wrote
down his autograph and received tho
girl's smiling words of gratitude. A
couplo of days later Captain Hocker
of tho reserve wns "giving tho order to
a firing party to shoot down a Belgian
accused of "sniping." A few weeks
later ho and tho painter and tho sculp
tor and the gravedigger got their bap
tism of flro near Lille. Then it was
that Hockor had tho narrowest possi
ble escape from death. Shortly after
that ho burrowed Into a trench and
remained there for weeks without
room to stand up or Ho down, while
countless shells screamed overhead
and racked his nerves to the breaking
point.
Writes In Rain of Fire.
All this Hocker has set down In a
llttlo book of his war experience called
"At the Head of My Company," which
has Just appeared In Berlin, ono of the
moHt graphic and convincing pieces of
writing to como out of tho wnr. Ho
wrote Its various chapters In the hell
of Belgium and northern France, send
ing thorn back to bo published as fast

Hooker's company was ono of hun
dreds upon hundreds that marchod
through Belgium In tho wake of that
Gorman army thnt almost smashed Its
way into Paris laut September. Ho and
his men passed through Vise, near
Llego, whilo It was still burning. Soon
after amid clouds of suffocating smoke
that blinded them and hid their roads,
they tramped over tho stroots in tho
outskirts of another burning town
Louvaln.
Ono night tho captain was quartered
in a filthy stable; on another he sat
comfortably with tho young vicar of a
Belgian village on whom ho wns quar
tered and talked not of war and Its
atrocities, but of "Preraphaelltes,
Turkish dialects and now kinds of
rosos!" After that camo more uncom

a splco of variety, a night In a magni

Tho captain said politely that ho
happened to possess a safety razor.
"The Idea of bolng shaved by a Bel
gian didn't appeal to mo at all," ho
grimly remarks.
Just as they crossed tho French
frontier a packot of letters fro-i homo
arrived, giving Hockor tho news that
a play by him dealing with tho wars
in Germany 100 years ago had Just
been performed in Berlin. On receiv
ing that letter ho tells us ho sat down
and rofiectod:
"Where was I when that play of
mine was bolng given in Berlin? Oh,
yes; sleeping on a mattress by a rail
way lino threatened with a Belgian at
tack, my revolvor by my side."
From such duties (Japtaln Hocker
and his men moved southward into
tho real fighting zono and got their
baptism of flro with a vongcanco in
tho outskirts of Lillo, sidling along
narrow alleys amid the whistling of
bullets from roofs and windows, creep
ing on all fours through tho ditch lin
ing a high road, charging into burning
villages while unseen enemies poured
shot and shell nt thorn. It was all a
long, long way from that llttlo roso
garden outside Berlin.
But far moro terrlblo than tho bap
tism of Are was Hocker's next experi
ence of fighting tho nlllcs at closo
range, which, ho describes with truly
admlrablo skill. Whilo leading his
company, far in ndvanco of tho main
force of Germans, In an endeavor to
feol out tho strength of tho enemy,
thoy suddenly found themselves ex
posed to a hot flro from several direc
tions. Tho captain had Just atlmon-
Ished his men to keep cool, tako
cover, aim carefully. Then, suddenly:
The Deadly Enfilade.
"Are those men over thoro ours?"
asked my trumpeter. "Over there on
tho high road, behind us."
I looked. A feeling of horror camo
over mo. Yes, while their artillery hold
us back their infantry, advancing un
seen on our left, has flanked us. And
now, from tho right, tho flro of tho
French mnchtno guns ndds its monot
onous rhythm to the hellish concert.
No sound behind us. Our artillery
battery is ovidently without ammuni
tion. Order from- the commander of our
brigade: "Company must fall back
slowly." A man in the squad which
has advanced to the highroad passes
the order along to mo.
It Is passed nil along tho line. A
couple of men start to stand up. I
call out to them:- "Down! Lie Down!
Crawl."
But already tho movement has been
seen from over across there; shrapnel
strikes closo besldo us. With bent
back, faces ground Into the earth, all
of us Ho there.
No Hope Left.
My floldglass is covered with sweat

clouds of dust into my eyes. I close

I am unablo to utter a word. I crawl

And for a moment this thought rushes

on tho right by artillery?
What would you do? Answer; I
would glvo this order: "Helmets off

After a period of comparative peace
and luxury In tho conquered city of
Lille, Captain Hocker marchod his
company out to tho vicinity of Mcs
sines, whero somo of tho most des
perate fighting of tho war hns taken
place, and there ho and his mon got
their first taste of Hfo in tho trenches.
Day after day thoy lay In subterran
ean cells, under orders from head
quarters "to hold tho position nt nil
costs, oven If your trenches aro blown
up." Hockor's commanding skill as a
writer Is shown hero again:
Our trench Is not thrco motors long,
a full meter deep, with a frontage 40
centimeters high. It is 80 centimeters
wide. Tho entrnnco consists of threo
narrow stops. As tho trench hns a
xnnt you must crawl into It backward.
You cannot stand inside, scarcely
kneel even, without striking your head
against the roof. All thoro Is to do Is
to Ho down, first a bit on tho loft side,
then n bit on tho right, then on your
back but before each chango you
must warn your tronchmate.
You Ho and wait.
Yd Ho and listen.
You Ho and think.
Is It fear of death that crcops upon
us? Is it discouragement? Oh, If only
wo could rush forwnrd to the attack,
that would bo qulto another matter.
That would be Just up and at 'em, and
In a couplo of hours fato would de

When we wero young mon, we
learnod nothing of this now form of

this most difficult and bitterest of cam
paigns. To stick It out under tho
earth until one's tlmo comos until
tho enemy dares advance and wo must
throw him back or until the command
reaches us from tho rear: "Forward!
Attack!"
Meanwhile, thoro wo Ho. And, over
our heads, horror shrieks.
Tho roaring, cracking, spattering,
thundering, growling, crashing goes on
unendingly. Always, always. Every
shot may bring tho ond; tho end of oue
of thoso who wait.
Oh, If I could only accompany my
Blonder llttlo daughter Just a llttlo bit

who has struggled and fought by my
sldo for tho length of a human life
could I but look again Into her eyes
and speak a loving farewell to her.
It is that way with all of us. Oh, do

and without feelings, that through tho
narrow silt ho sees merely tho same
