When we at last turned into tl»e open
road we wfcr* not so confldent. On
each «ld# there had been a line of
tnys, ijut now, all that was left of
them were torn aud battered stump*.
The fields on each side of the road
were dotted with recent shell hole*,

about eighteen or twenty seconds In
which to adjust your gas helmet.
A gas helmet Is made of cloth, trent
ed with chemicals. There are two win-
dows, or glass eyes, In It, through which
you can see. Inside there Is a rubber
covered tube, which goes In the month
You breathe through .\utir nose; th.
gas, passing through the cloth helmet.
Is neutralized by the action of (he
chemicals. The foul air Is exhaled
through the tube ln the mouth, this
tube being so constructed that it pie-
vents the Inhaling of the outside air or
Kits. One helmet Is good for five honr-
of the strongest gas. Each Tommy
carries two of them siting around lit*
shoulder In a waterproof ctinvus bag.
He must wear this bag at all times,
even while sleeping. To change a de
fective helmet, you take out th.* new
one, hold your breath, pull the oi l one
off. placing the new one over your
head, tacking In the loose ends tinder
the collar of your tunic.
For a minute, pandemonium reigued
in our trench—Tommies adjusting
their helmets, bombers running here
and there, and men turning out of the
dugouts with fixed bayonets, to nuin
the flre step.
He-enforcements were pouring out of
the communication trenches.
Our gun's crew were busy mounting
the machine gun on the parapet and
bringing up extra ammunition from
the dugout.
German gas is heavier than air and
soon fills the trenches and dugouts,
where It hus been known to lurk for
two or three days, until the air is purl-
fled by means of large chemical spray-
ers.
We had to work quickly, as Fritz
generally follows the gas with an in-
fantry attack.
A company man on our right was
too slow In getting on his helmet; he
sank to the ground, clutching at his
throat, and after a few spasmodic
twUtlngs went West (died). It was
horrible to see him die, but we were
powerless to help him. In the corner
of a traverse, a little, muddy cur dog,
one of the company's pets, was lying
dead, with his paws over his nose. !
It's tlie nnlmuis thai suffer the most j
—the horses, mules, cattle, dogs, cats I
and ruts—they having no helmets to,
aave them. Tommy does not sytnpa-1
thlze with rats In a gas attack.
At times gas lifts been known to
travel, with dire results, fifteen miles
behind the lines.
A gtrs, or smoke helmet, as It Is
called, at the best Is a vlle-suielllng
thing, and It Is not long before one gets
« violent headache from wearing It.
Our elghteen-pounders were burst-
ing in No Man's Land, In an effort, by
the artillery, to disperse the gas
clouds.
The lire step was lined with crouch
log men, bayonets fixed, and bombs
near at hand to repel the expected at-
tack.
Our artillery had put a barrage of
curtain flre on the German Hues, to try
nnd break up their attack and keep
hack re-enforcements.
I trained my machine gun on their
trench and Its bullets were raking the
parapet.
Then over they came, bayonets glis-
tening. In their respirators, which
have a large snout ln front, they look-
*1 like some horrible nightmore.
All along our trench, rifles and ma-
chine guns spoke, our shrapnel was
bursting over their heads. They went
down in heaps, but new ones took the

pis which nmy have been lurking In ; the edge of the road about four bun-
same. dred yards in front of us.
Two day!' after the gas attack 1 was
sent to division headquarters. In an
swer lo an order requesting that cap-
tain* of units should detail a man
whom they thought capable of pushing

I teiiigence department.

clicked a cushy Job behind the lines,
and how sorry I felt that they had to
stay ln the front line and argue out the
war with Fritz. They were envious
but still good-natured, and ns 1 left the
trench to go to the rear they shouted
after me:
■'Good luck, Yank, old boy; don't
forget to send up a few fags to your
old mates."
I promised to do this and left,
I reported at headquarters with six-
teen others and passed the required ex-
amination. Out of the sixteeu appli-
cants four were selected.
1 wus highly elated because I was, I
tlmught, ln for a cushy Job back at tin-
base.
The next morning the four reported
to division headquarters for Instruc-
tions. Two of the men were sent to
large towns In the rear of the lines
with an easy Job. When it came our
turn the officer told us we wore good
men and had passed a very creditable
examination.
My tin hat begun to get too small
(or me, aud I noted that the other man,
Atweil by name, was stlcklug his chest
out more than usuul.
The officer continued: "I think I can
use you two men to great advantage
in the front Hue. Here are your orders
and Instructions, also the pass which
gives you full authority as special M.
P. detailed on Intelligence work. He-
port at the front line according to your ml,
instructions. It is risky work and I, „ff.
wish you both the best of luck.
Mv heart dropped to zero and Ar
well's face was a study. We saluted
and left. . „
That wishing us the "best of iu™
sounded very ominous in our ears; if
he had said "I wish you both a swift
and painless death" it would have been
more to the point.

I told the driver to throw in hi*

that battery was ranging for us, and
the quicker we got out of Its sone of
flre the better. The driver was trein
bllug like a leaf, and every minute [
expected him to pile u* up lo the ditch.
I preferred the German fire.
In the baek Atweil was holding onto
the straps for dear life, aud was sing-
lug at the top oi lits voice:

was in the ditch.
I shouted to the driver to stop, aud
In bis nervousness he put on tb«
brakes. We nearly pitched out head-
first. But the applying of thoee brakes
*avcd our lives. The next Instant
there was a blinding flash aud a deaf-
eulug report. All thai I remember la
that I was flying through the air, and
wondering if I would land In a soft
spot. Then the lights went out.
When I Ctttue to, Arwell was pouring
water on my head out of hi* bottle.
On the other aide of the road the cor
. poral was sitting, rubbing a lump on
his forehead with his left hand, while
Ids right arm was bouud up in a blood-
soaked bandage. He wa» moaning
very loudly. I had an awful headache
and the skin on the left aide of my
face was full of gravel and (tie blood
was trickling from my noae.
But that ambulance was turned over
In the ditch and was perforated with
holes from fragments of the shell. One
of the front wheels wa* slowly revolv-
ing, so I could not have been "out" for
a long period.
The shells were still screaming over-
load, but the battery had raised It*
flre und they were bursting In a little
wood nbout half h mile from ua.
Atweil spoke up "1 wl*b that offi-
cer hadn't wished us the beet o' luck."'
Then he commenced swearing. I
couldn't help laughing, though my
head was nigh to bursting.
Slowly rising to tuy feet 1 felt myself
all over to make sure that there were
no broken bones. But outside of a few
bruises ond scratches 1 wa* all right.
The corporal was still rooming, bat
more from shock than p*ln. A shell
splinter bad gone through the flesh at
his right forearm. Atweil and I. from
our first-aid pouches, put s tourniquet
on his arm to stop the bleeding and
then gathered up our equipment.
We realized that we were ln a dan-
gerous sjHit. At any minute a shell
might drop on the road and finish us
The village we had left wa» not
very far, so we told the corporal ho
hod better go back to It aud grt his
arm dressed, snd then report the fact
of the destruction of the ambulance to
the military police. He was well able
to walk, so he set off ln the direction
of the village, while Atweil and I con
tlnued our way on foot.
Without further mlshsp we arrives
at our destination, and reported to bri-
gade headquarters for rations and bil-
lets.
Thst night we slept ln the battalion
sergeant major's dugout The next
morning I went to a flrst-ald poet and
had the gravel picked out of my face.
The Instructions we received from
division headquarters read tbst w*
were out to catch sple*. patrol trenches,
search Ocrman dead, reconnolter In No
Man'* Land, *nd take part In trench

dead.
I bad a pa*s which would allow me
to go anywhere at any time In the eec-
tor of the line held by our division. It)
gave me authority to stop and search

French and Germuus. Atweil on these
occasions never Indulged In swearing, |
though at any other time, at the least
stumble, he would turn the air blue.
A certain section of our trenches
was held hy the Royal Irish rifle*. For j
several day* a very strong rumor went i
the round* that a Oertuan spy wa* In <
oar midst. This spy wa* supposed to
be dressed in the uniform of a British j
staff officer. Several stories hud been
told about an officer weoring n red
band around hla ftp. who patrolled the
ftout-llne and communication trenebe*
asking suspicious questions as to Irn-n-
tlon of batteries, machlne-gtm emplace
ments, and trench mortars. If a shell j
dropiied in a battery, op a machine gun ,
ot even near a dugout, this spy wa*
blamed.
The rumor gained such strength that 1
an order was Issued for all troops to
Immediately place under arrest anyoae j
answering to the description of the I
spy
Atweil snd 1 were on the qui vlve. j
We constantly patrolled the trenches j
at night, and even ln the day. but th)- 1
spy always eluded us.
One day while ln a communication
trench, we were horrified to see <nir
brigadier general. Old Pepper, Mug
brought dow n II hy a big private of Ho-
Royal Irish rifles. The general was
walking In front, and the |>rivate with
fixed bayonet was following In the
rear.
We saluted as the general passed us
The Irishman had s broad grin on Ids 1
face and we could scarcely believe our j
eye*—the general was under arrest.
After passing a few feet beyond us. the
general turned, and said in a wrathful
voice to Atweil:
"Tell this d—n fool who I am. He's j
arrested me us a spy."
Atweil wa* speechless. The sentry j
butted in with:
"None o" that gnssln' out o' you.
Back io headquarters yon goes, Mr.
Fritz. Open that face o' yours again,
an' I'll dent In your n*p|ier with the 1
butt o' me rltte."
Tljy general's face whs a Right to be-
hold 11c was fairly boiling over with
rage, lull be shut up.
Atweil tried to get In front of the
sentry to explain to him that It realty
.vhs the general bo had under arre*t,
but the sentry threatened to run hi*
bayonet through hlui, and would have
done It, too. Mo Atweil stepped aside,
and remained client. 1 was nearly
bursting with suppressed laughter. One
word, and I would hsvo exploded. It
1* not exactly diplomatic to laugh at
your geueral In such a predicament.
The sentry and Id* prisoner arrived
at brigade headquarters with disas-
trous result* to the sentry.
The Joke was that the general had
personally issued (he order for the
■py's arrest. It waa a habit of the gen-
eral to walk through the trenches on
rounds of Inspection, unattended by
any of his staff. The Irishman, being
new lu the regiment, had never seen
the geueral before, so when he came
•cross him alone In a communication
trench, he promptly put him under #r
rest. Brigadier generals wear a ret)
baud around their cup*.
Next day we passed Hie lrlshmau
tied to the wheel tif u Umber, the be-
ginning of his sentence of twenty-oue
days, field punishment No. I. Never
before have I seen such a woebegone
expression on a man'* face.
For severul dsys, Atweil and 1 made
ourselves scarce around brigade head-
quarters. We did not want to meet
the general.
The spy wa* never caught.

The roads did their worst. East, west,
north and south, as the Test Car Fleets
whirled from state to state, the teeth of
the road gnawed at Goodrich Tires.
But the tires conquered with phenom-
enal mileage that doubled Goodrich's
pride. From that test covering millions of
miles, the Test Car Fleets came back with
a new tire standard, the TESTED of
Goodrich Tested Tires.
Tested Tires mean certainty of service,
proved service, and thst
meana a lot to s tire uaer.
It means long life in a tire,
snd dependability on the
road, for no hidden weak-
ness could conceal itself in
that yesr long test of
Goodrich's Test Car Fleets,
S1LVERT0WN CORDS, and BUCK
SAFETY TREADS, proved themselves
masters of the road. The spiral-wrapped,
cable-cord tire body, and the tough,
close-clutch, cross-barred black safety
tread defied ths rough going.
Under light and heavy cars they proved
themselves not for one car or one driver,
or one road, but all cars, all drivers,
all roads.
