Souvenirs of Fritz.
We left our motor cars behind us
in Arras, for today we were to go to
a front line trench, and the climax of
my whole trip, so far as I could fore
see, was at hand. Johnson and the
wee piano had to stay behind, too
we could not expect to carry even
so tiny an instrument as that into a
front line trench! Unce more we
had to don steel helmets, but there
was a great difference between these
and the ones we had had at.Vimy
Ridge. -Mine fitted badly and kept
slidinc down over mv ears, or else
slipping way down to the back of
my head. It must have given me a
grotesque look and it was most un
comfortable. So I decided I would
take it off and carry it for a while.
"You'd better keep it on, Harry,"
Captain Godfrey advised me. "This
district is none too safe, even right
here, and it gets worse as we go
along. A whistling Percy may come
along looking for you any minute."
That is the name of a shell that is
good enough to advertise its coming
by a whistling, shrieking sound. I
could hear Percys whistling all
around and see them spattering up
the ground as they strunk, not so far
away, but they did not seem to be
coming in our direction. So I de
cided I would fake a chance.
"Well," I said, asil took the steel
hat off, "I'll just keep this bonnet
handy and slip it on if I see Percy
coming.".
But later I was mighty glad of even
an ill-fitting steel helmet.
Several staff officers from the
Highland brigade had joined the
Reverend Harry Lauder, M. P., Tour
by now. Affable, pleasant gentlemen
they were and very eager to show ut
all there was to be seen. And they
had more sights to show their vis
itors than most hosts have.
We were on ground now that had
been held by. the Germans before the
British had surged forward all along
this line in the April battle. Their
old trenches, abandoned now, ran
like deep fissures through the soil.
They had been pretty welt blasted
to pieces by the British bombard
ment, but a good many of their deep,
concrete dugouts had survived. These
were not being used by the British
here, but were saved in good repair
as show places, and the officers who
were our guides took us down into
some of them.
Rarely comfortable they must have
been, too. They had been the homes
of German officers and the Hun of
ficers did themselves very well indeed
when they had the chance. They had
electric light in their cave houses.
To be sure they had used German
wall paper, and atrociously ugly stuff
it was, too. But it pleased their
taste, no doubt. Mightily amazed
some of Fritz's officers must have
been, back in April, as they sat and
took ' their ease it these luxurious
quarters, to have lock come tum-
COPYRl&HT 1916
bling in upon them, a- grenade in
each hand
Our men might have used these
dugouts and been snug enough in
them, but they preferred air and ven.
tilation and lived in little huts above
the ground. I left our party and went
around among tnem, and, to my great
satisfaction, found, as I had been
pretty sure I would, a number of old
acquaintances and old 'admirers who
came crowding around me to 8hake
hands. I made a great collection of
souvenirs here, for they insisted 6n
pressing trophies upon me
"Tak them, Harry," said one after
another. "We can get plenty more
where they came from.
One laddie gave me a helmet with
a bullet hole through 4he skip and
another presented me with one of the
most interesting souvenirs of all I
carried home from France. That
was a German sniper's outfit. It
consisted of a suit of overalls, water
proofed. If a man had it on he would
be completely covered, from head to
foot, with just a pair of slits for eyes
to peep out of, and another for his
mouth, so that' he could breathe. It
was cleverly painted the' color of a
tree part of it like the bark, part
green, like leaves sprouting from it,
"Eh, Jock," I asked the laddie who
gave it to me. A thing like yon s
hard to be getting, Im thinking?
"Oh, not so very hard," he answer
ed, carelessly. ."You've got to be a
good shot." And he wore medals
that showed he was. "All you've got
to ao, narry, is,io kiu tne cnap in
side it before he kills you! The fel
low who used to own that outfit
you've got hid himself in the fork of
a tree, and, as you may guess, he
looked like a branch of the tree itself.
He was pretty hard to spot. But I
got suspicious of him, from the way
bullets were coming over steadily,
and I decided that that tree hid a
sniper.
"After that it was just a question
of being patient. It was no so long
before I was sure, and then I waited
until I saw that branch move as
no branch of a tree ever did move
I fired then and got him! He wa9
away outside of the lines, and that
nicht I slipped out and brought back
this outfit. 1 wanted to see how it
was made.
An old, grizzled sergeant of the
Black Watch gave me a German re
volver.
"How came you to get this?" I
asked him. !
"It was an acceedent. Harry," he
said. "We were raiding a trench, do
you ken, and I was in a sap when a
German officer name along, and we
bumped into one another. He looked
at me and 1 at him. I think he was
goin' to say samething, but I dinna
ken what it was he had on his mind.
That was his Revolver you've got in
your hand now."
And then he thrust his hand into
his pocket.
"Here's the watch he used to

carry, too," he said. It was a thick,
fat-bellied affair, of solid gold. "It's
a bit too big, but it's a rare good
timekeeper."
Soon after that an officer gave me
another trophy that is, perhaps, even
more interesting than the sniper's
suit. If it rarer, at least. It is a
small, sweet-toned bell that used to
hang in a wee church in the small
village of Athies, on the Scarpe,
about a mile and a half from Arras.
The Germans wiped out church and
village, but in some odd way they
found the bell and saved it. They
hung it in their trenches and it was
used to sound a gas alarm. On both
sides a signal u given when the
sentry sees that there is to be a gas
attack, in order that the men may
have time to don the clumsy as
masks that are the only protection
against the deadly fumes. The wee
bell is eight inches high, maybe, and
I have never heard a lovelier tone.
"That bell has rung men to wor
ship and it has rung them to death,"
said the officer who gave it to me.
Presently I was called back to my
party, after I had spent some time
with the lads in 'heir huts. A gen
eral had joined he party now and he
.told me, with as mile, that I was to

do so. I will not say I was not a bit
nervous, but I was glad to go, for a'
that! It was the thing that had
brought me to France, after a'.
So we started, and bvnOw I was
glad to wear my steel hat, fit or no
fit. I was to give an entertainment
in the trenches, and so we set out.
Pretty soon I was climbing a steep
railroad embankment and when we
slid down on the other side, we found
the trenches wide, deep gaps in the
earth, and all alive with men. We
got into the trenches themselves by
means of ladders, and the soldiers
came swarming about me with yells
of "Hello,1 Harry! Welcome, Harry!"

RESULTS WERE A
GREAT SURPRISE
TO MRS. GIBBONS
Began To Pick UpAfter Tak
ing Tanlac and Now Her
Troubles Are Gone.
"For six weeks, urevious to the
time I began taking Tanlac, I was
all doubled up with rheumatism,"
said Mrs. Elizabeth Gibbons of 9207
North 30th street, while in a Sher
man ft McConnell drutr store for
more of the medicine, recently.
"i simply ached all oer, she con
tinued, "and my joints, especially,
pained me so bad I had to stay in bed
one and two days at a time. I just
suffered agony and was so crinnled
up that I was almost a constant care
to those about me. My digestion was
bad also, and while I seemed to have
a fairly good appetite, I always suf
fered after meals from ms on my
stomach and my food seemed to do me
very little good. My condition had
become one of almost constant suf.
fering and worry to fee and I hard
ly knew what to do for relief.
"But. I finally decided on Tanlac.
as others Were praising: it so hiirhlv.
and much to my surprise and gratifi
cation, J began to pick right up. The
gas soon stopped forming and my
stomach has improved until I can eat
and digest anything I want. I don't
feel a sign of indigestion or distress
of any kind now after meals,' but the
most remarkable feature of the Tan
lac treatment in my case is the wav
it has relieved me of rheumatism. I
am up every day, feeling good all
the time and have no trouble in do
ing my work. The rheumatism seenm
to be gone already, but to make sure
im going to take another bottle or
so of Tanlac, and it's a pleasure to
rcommend it for the great good it
nas aone me.
As has been stated: The utomnrh
regulates ht condition of the blood
and is the fountain head of health
or disease, as the case may be. Tan-
iac is inienaea primarily lor the reg
ulation of the blood and the correc
tion of catarrhal inflammation, but
it is no uncommon 'thing for persons
who have used it to find, that it has
relieved them, not only? of indiges
tion, but also ot rheumatism, kid
ney complaints and manv other ail
ments not generally recognized as
having their origin in stomach
trouble.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher
