ارم

Arcy story of a casperate duel with *** big fat GermanTM has been told to a Contr! News representativo by a private in the Scota Fusiliers:

"Thank Heever," he began, Te back from the hottest curve of Hell. Talk of adventure! Well, I reckon any lad that's been at the front, since Christmas

ha had sough to last him for an ordinary lifetime. I've been in the clutches of the Kaiser's butcher duzun times, but I've always been able to give them the slip. The fact of the matter is that the Germans Aro no enldiers with all their training. They act like a machine and they're thrown before the British just an you would heap conds on a furance. The German army, in My opinion, is nothing more than a mad machine. Of course I had to be used. It's the fashion to cop a dose of that yellow smoke stuff, but I get over it after a isy in the trench hospita. Tve been at it eight months and net a German bullet has graced me.
