IN THE RIFLE PITS
spaaiaFds' Fiags of Trsos Amused the
Men In the TPenches


The days that followed July Sd were
filled with innumerable visits to the
Spanish lines under flags of truce,
writes Richard Harding Davis In
Scribner's. To the men In the pits,
who knew nothing of the exigcncies
Of diplomacy. these virgin flags were
as offensive as those OF red are to the
bull. The men had placed their own
flags along the entire line of trenches.
and though they afforded the enemy n
perfect target. and fixed our position
as clearly MS huoys mark out race
course. the men wanted the flags there
and felt better at seeing them there,
nnu so there they remained. The
trenches formed horseshoe curve
five miles in length. and the entire
line was dctianily decorated with our
flags, When they nuttcrcd in the
wind NJ full length and the sun kissed
their colors they made one of the
most inspiring and beautiful pictures
of the war. The men would crouch
for hours IN the pits. with these hngs
rustling above them. and felt well re-
paid for their service. but when they
saw crawling across the valley below
the long white flag of truce their
watchfulnesS seemed wasted, their
vigilance became n farce. and they
Knocked and scofrod at the white flag
bitterly. These flags were sent in so
frequently that the men compared
them To the different war extras of n
daily paper and would ask. Has that
10 o'clock edition gone in yct?" and.
"Is this the base ball edition coming
out now. or * II an eNtry:"
One of the regulars said to me, in
great perplcxity: II can't make out
this iiag-of-trucc gag. 1t reminds me
Of two kids in n street fight stopping
after every punch to ask the other
fellow II he's had enough. Why don't
we keep at ii until somebody gets

When Autumn dies at las, upon her
throne
Amid the ruin OF . regal state,
Boreas' clarion trumpets sound her
/. fate,
And Winter knows the realm thence
forth bis own:
Calling hk minions In the Arctic sone
And making them through his own
greatness great.
He Journeys forth TO his possessions
straight.
The winds wild music aye before him
blown.
A lock Of frost he fastens on the land,
And makes the air with keenest cold
to sting;
The waters lie meath fetters from his
hand:
And while his white snows toss and
whiri and ding.
Robsd royalty and crowned for all
command
He proudly cries. Behold me: I an

1hs SPILL OF MERRY CHRIST
MAS.

I'VE OPeeS VI MUMMY CnHlST .
MAS.
IT'S the time OF year for the loving cup
To pass from hand to hand,
when the sounds Of wasaan and reveiry
Are echotns DER the land.
For North. where the skate skins the
mese.
And South. where tho red d-bsrd sngs.
A pulse Of cheer to tho waning year
The Merry Christmas brings.
'ris the time Of year for the open hand
And the tender heart and true.
When . rim of heaven has cleft the skies
And the saints are looking through.
The name leaps high where the hearth
was drear.
And sorrewfui eyes grow bright.
For . message dear that all may hear
Was bsrns on the Cnristmas light.
It's the time Of year for the cordial
And the grace OF the lifted load.
For brother to come to brothers help
On the cough and stony road.
IT'S time to bury the ancient hate,
And to make the quarreis up:
No Erudge has room where the roses
bloom
Round II. chri.,ma.' loving cup.
'Tis the time Of year for chiidren's JOY.
And all In . scarlet row
The stockinss hang In the inEle nook.
And the draining faces glow.
And the children turn and laugh IN sleep,
Tomorrow will be no gay:
toe there never y mirth In this queer old
earth.
Like the mirth Of Chr!stmas Day.
'Tis the time Of year for the sweet sur
prise.
For the blessing We did not see.
Though straight from the lnsinits Love
Of God
'Twsa coming TO you and me.
'Tis the time for seeking once again
The sheen Of the Bethlehem Star.
And for.kneeiing fain. with the ass-loaS
train.
Where the Babe and Mary are.
-Tis the time Of year for the loving cup.
when the holly berries shine.
And with shout and song OF man and
maid
The cedar and nr We twine.
All. pass the cup from the frosen North
To the eouth where the robin sings.
For . p0iss Of cheer to tho. waning year
The Merry Christmss brings.
