Nobodf was lilt, bull i. Was one of
those 1et1liar freaks of nature Viiithb
soldiers call luck, for the shots came
in a shower, so close to them it seemued
almost certain some one must. be
wounded, 'although they were exposed
only for a brief time.
The other seven members of the
party were in another section of the
trench, and were not disturbed by the
fire. Later, however, when all the
Americans were together, the Germans
droppd a big shell some ten yards
away, seriously endangering every one.
One member, in describing the incident
to the correspondent later, said he and
his companion heard the shell coming.
"It sounded like the roar of an air
plane", he said.
Agnin fortune favored them and no
one was injured.
The visitors spent the night near the
front, and rose early this morning for
a trip to the trenches in the vicinity
of Dixmude. The Borgian and German
lines run witihin thirty yards of each
other at one point, and it was there
thkut the five men came into danger.
At that distance it is easy to seg %11y.

'his head above the top. Only the usual
firin'g was under way when the party
reached this place.
The Americans were having an ex
cellent view of the .lines when several
of them got into an exposed posid4on
and were seen by the Gern'ans. Sud
denly the enemy machine guns nearby
bdgan a vicious chatter, and bullets
came whizzing across the narrow strip
of No Man's Land at the rate of several
hundred a minute.
Before the visitors realized the sit
nation bullets were whizzing all about
them, like a storm of hall, and dirt
was being thrown into their faces, as
some of the steel pellets struck the
top of the trench. They all bent down
for cover, but all migltt easily have
been caught, since it does not take
more than a small fraction of a minute
for a machine gun to accountt for a
number of men if the shooting is ac
curate.
The Americans depa rt ed this after
noon for l'g:nland. On arriving at the

"Masque of Life".
"The Masque of Life," which will
play at the Opera House for two days,
commencing Thanksgiving 'Day, has
already proved itself popular In New
York. During a long run at the Park
theatre, it caught the public fancy
and steadily played to crowded hous
esd. It is a seven reel spectacular pro
duction, said to be brimful of thrills,
and very different. from anything ev
er before seen in America in many
ways. In the II rst. place, it. is a real
