God would never be cruel enough to create a cyclone as terrible as that Argonne battle. Only man would ever think of doing an awful thing like that.

I noticed the bushes all around where I stood in my fight with the machine guns were all cut down. The bullets went over my head and on either side. But they never touched me.

I didn't want the rear ones to see me touching off the front ones. I was afraid they would drop down and pump a volley into me.

I was sharpshooting. I don't think I missed a shot. It was no time to miss.

The rest surrendered without any more trouble. There were nearly 100 of them.
