Missed the F
(By Lewis M. Grist in Yorkville En- knt
quirer.) tha
You've talked to scores of soldier; Bes
who were in the battle lines in the; to |
recent war, no doubt. You have se-J woi
cured from some of them, no doubt, a [ cro
description of just how they fed with' wei
ride bullets and machine pun hail and ver
shrapnel and real hip puns bursting
every minute and expecting that thef
next minute would bring over a bul- mo
let with tlieir "name and number on sip
it." I have talked scores of these Ion
fellows and have gotten some graphic can
descriptions from some of them as toj sig
lllal Imu' it I ..v..,,.-!,.., ..^,1 o,, i
it myself. I missed it by one day. j kill
You have heard some of the boys of
who have been discharged tell how die
they were on the ocean going over on tin
the day that the armistice was signed: wh
and were turned back to the port of, hat
embarkation because the big show the
was over and their services would notiGei
be required. My outfit hud its orders
to go up to the front and had pre-joxc
pared to leave for the battle areas on to
the very day the armistice was signed, i OU(
And because of the signing we didn't wo
go. No, nobody cried because they sp|
didn't have the chance to go to the str:
ifront. If there was any crying done not
it was done by those who cried out of ue|
sheer joy that the business was over bef
and that it would not be necessary fori up(
anybody to go up to the front on wa
fighting business any more, while! tiei
those who had been up to the front ent
so long would be privileged to retire.) Wo

those that were tired of running, were 0fr,
expected to do our share of fighting det
as well as fixing. That was true of ttin
soldiers of all organizations. For in- pja
stance, one would naturally think KO,
that the engineers' duties lay in dig- wh
ging trenches and building bridges. ;lt,(
These were their duties; but it often- p0s
times became necessary for them to ol
defend the trenches they had dug and cai
the bridges they had built after they frj,
were completed. It was so with the p()f
motor corps. Many a lad ordinarily av?
engaged in repair work or in driving wh
a car, got humped off sudden like by fol
a Hun shell or other missile, and en- (.jt(
pmy airplanes dropping bombs on the fro
allied lines knocked off many a lad Qf

In the army organization every
lio
seventh motor company is known as
a replacement company. That is, six
companies are sent up to the front to ^
serve the troops on the front line. The
seventh company Is kept back in the ^
interior to remain until it is needed ^ ^
to replace the six companies who may K
ore
have suffered through killed an,'.'pjl
wounded and those who had died ofj
disease. The six companies for which .
Bn
my companay, the seventh, was a replacement,
suffered like everything
during Septetniber, October and No-j'-v
vember last. Hence the order for us m<"
to move up to the slaughter pen on 'or

fever was the trouble, having had a
stretch of it for about 20 days, the
result of tin. The top sargcant came wa
over to the hospital and informed us 0
of the order, saying that he would prt
like to have we cripples go with him
if we felt anything like it because he nio
wanted the company as complete as ant
possible. Kvery one of us managed ell
to get a release from that hospital in frit
time to go. We were not especially dit
keen about going up to the front mc
where we stood a better chance of wo
getting humped off. Hut we had been
