THE A THENIAN Comrng out to see the blg show start3 asked the executrve officer as he turned up the collar of hrs sllcker and wrth hrs Hashlrght ln one hand and hrs data sheet rn the other he lifted the gas curtam You bet We II be out ln tlme but there s no hurry and we want to take another look at the map first For a few mrnutes the two remalnlng offrcers leaned over the map whrle the first offtcer pomted out the barrage lmes and the special polnts upon whlch the battery was to concentrate nts fire At two mrnutes tlll one a m the first officer put on hrs tm hat and slrcker and the two stepped outside It was ralmng hard and no matter In what dlrectlon you looked not a glrmmer of lrght could be seen Save for the noise of the fallmg ram and the srghmg of the wmd through the trees not a sound came to their ears The stillness and darkness was oppresslve and both men rnvoluntarrly shuddered as they thought of the boys ln the trenches up ahead The flrst officer held hrs watch up close to hrs face The luminous dual showed one a m l wonder whats wrong with But the sentence went unfinished From the woods far back to the rear there was a brlght flash of llght followed almost Instantly by the deep rattlrng roaring rushxng sound of a bug shell on rts way to the German llnes Then came the dull hollow boom that told them It was a long range rifle which had opened the program for the hrst performance staged by the First American Army That flrst shot was a challenge taken up by every battery wlthrn srght or hearing along that front In an Instant the low hangmg black clouds the trees the ruined vrllage the whlte road ID fact everything was lighted up as brlght almost as day by the flashes from the hundreds of guns The earth shook under foot and the constant roar and rumble made talkmg an rmposslblllty The mighty overture had started wrth the song of the guns They spoke they roared they sang they cursed Human ears had seldom lf ever heard such a sound When the guns spoke nearby the flash left one blind for a few moments and the blast of alr struck one lrke a gust of wmd For four hours the shelling continued Then just as the watches showed five a m and as the hrst grey streaks of dawn were cllmbmg the eastern sky the doughboys up front went over The first act had started The clouds began to break and here and there patches of blue began to show through The roar of the guns now became louder and there was a different tone to It all For four hours the artillery had been flrlng on cross roads strong polnts barbed wrre entanglements towns and woods It was how ever just a spasmodlc harassing fire But now came the drum fire the steadv syn chronlzed harmonized barrage behind which the tanks each followed by a strung of doughboys started their creepmg march towards Bocheland From the boche lmes there came an mcreaslng number of star shells and signal rockets lrghtrng up the drlftxng clouds and crymg to their srlent artillery For God s sake give us everything you have But the cries for help avalled them nothlng The four hours preparation had given our artillery a chance to sllence their guns Then as the mornmg broke through the ever growmg rlfts ln the cloud canopy our avtators could be seen dartrng down upon the retreating columns of boches machme gunnlng men and horses and bombing the fleeing artillery and ammunltlon tralns The Flrst American Army had started rts first show There was only one act In a little over twenty four hours a drvrslon commg from the south and a dlvrslon coming from the west had met and clasped hands The St Mlhlel salxent was no more H . - Y 11 r ' V . 1 L 1 , . u 1 ' - 1 V ' - 1 11 , . 1 1 - - - 41 - 11 - 1 - 1 1 1 . v ' 1 1 11 1 - 11 1 1 1 1 ' 1 ' 1 1 - , 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 , .
