flats, or a sec-
tion of North-
ern Indiana, or
a piece of Mid-
dle-western
prairie. Yet a
few hundred
yards off to-
ward the hori-
zon are the
enemy lines,
and the Ger-
mans are in
them. The
country isn’t as
benevolent-
looking or as calm and peaceful as it
seems. Such outposts as this may soon
be occupied by, our boys in great number.
Because the country is flat, a machine gun
is effective over a wide area.
