After a bit one of them said that perhaps I would be wise to step out of the road, which was narrow, as the regiment was coming. I asked, of course, "What regiment?" and "What are they coming for?" and he answered "The 118th," and that it was simply "taking a walk."

Through the haste with which the reserves were thrown under the fire of the French artillery and infantry already in possession of the positions the German losses must have been increased enormously. A letter taken from a soldier of the 118th Regiment may be cited as corroborative evidence: "We were put in a motor car and proceeded at a headlong pace to Tahure, by way of Vouziers.

Regardless of the pending questions of dispute, his thoughts reverted likewise to the needy condition of the schools: he wrote a special tract, 'On the duty of keeping Children at school. His Commentary on the 118th Psalm was now followed by one upon the 117th. He also worked indefatigably at the translation of the Prophets.

She appeared to think for an instant, then, fumbling in her pocket-book, extracted a typical feminine pencil stub, its business-end looking as though it had been gnawed by a vindictive rat, and scribbled hastily on the back of a menu card: "Mrs. McCabe, 205 West 118th Street. Top floor. Ring 3 times." "I shall be there at seven," she told him. "You won't fail me?"

He propped himself upon his elbow and said: "George, does your little algebra tell you anything about the meaning of this victory?" Warner tapped his breast. "That noble book is here in the inside pocket of my tunic," he replied.

They belonged to the 118th Brigade of the 39th Division of Maxse's XVIII Corps so, you see, I was on the extreme left of Sir Herbert Watts's XIX Corps. It was Cuthbert's 39th Division that was to take St. Julien. We were to go through Fortuin and leave St. Julien just on our left. On the right of our division was the 15th Division. The 15th Division is entirely Scottish.

He published the prophecy of Ezekiel about Gog and Magog by itself. His wish was to treat of various portions of the Psalms, his own constant book of comfort and prayer, for the benefit of his congregation; and he began, accordingly, with a Commentary on the 118th Psalm.

A soldier of the third battalion of the 123d Regiment, engaged on the 26th, stated that his regiment was withdrawn from the front after only two days' fighting because its losses were too great. The 118th Regiment relieved the 158th Regiment in the trenches after it had been reduced to fifteen or twenty men per company.

They were misled by our occasional and quite natural sighs for a sight of the quiet English landscape, and our joking remarks about the customs regulations. So we stayed and fought, with our backs to the not over-clean walls of 118th Street.

I began to get little cards and letters back from the 118th on the twenty-third. The first said simply: Dear Madame, Here we are arrived last night just behind the line, with our eyes strained towards the front, ready to bound forward and join in the pursuit. Of course I have seen the Americans a doctor from Schenectady and forty men, almost all youngsters in their early twenties.
