"Popple."
TO BE CONTINUED.

In some English dialects 'pobble or
popple" (for 1t Is variously spelt and
pronounced), seems to mean a large
pebble (A.S. papoD. The same word
survives today among sea-faring men,
who talk OF "popply" sea. meaning u
"choppy sea''-one the surface Of
which is agltated with innumerable
'lumpy' waves. On the other hand,
there is an old English word ''popple"
meaning poplar" which is in use to-
day in some parts of Canada. Evident
ly the word as It stands is of consid-
cradle interest, and of double deriya-
ton and meaning.

French and Germans Enjoy Unof-
ficial Armistice Daily.
Permits Freedom From Trenches and
Songs EnIiven the Day-Germans
Have No Such Understanding
With the English.

London.-A German officer attached
to the great general staff in a dis
patch, copy of which has reached
London, mentions curious system OF
arranging unofficial armistices which
has lately grown up between the allies
and the Germans facing each other
day and night at close quarters in the
trenches in Northern France. He al
most makes one believe that the
French and Germans. after weeks of
intrenchment within few yards of
each other. have lost their animosi-
ties and regard the great siege battle
north of the Aisne as sort of friendly
match away from home. He has bit
ter pen. however, when he writes
about the English.
From noon to two o'clock in the
afternoon he says. both sides In the
trenches call an armistice. 1t is a
strict agreement, quite unofficial. be-
tween groups of men in the front fir
ing lines. and 1t has been honorably
kept SO far by both sides.
when a su.Iier has to leave the
trench for some reason or other he
raises the butt end of his rifle in the
air as a signal to the enemy. The en-
emy answers the signal in same man.
ner and there is mutual agreement
to leave the trenches at the same
time. The understanding is that the
German OF the Frenchman shall be
allowed to leave the trench without
being fired on. If the enemy should
break the armistice and fire on our
man we would reply instantly and kill
the corresponding Frenchman as he
was leaving the trenches. This agree
ment with the Frenchman works
amicably. but with the English we
have not attempted to come to such an
understanding. Our bitterness toward
them prevents II.
"The trenches are SO close together
that the Frenchmen can hear us sin &
ing our songs. They listen. and when
we have finished they burst into song
and we listen to them. We take 1t in
turns to give these little concerts

ing else is talked of here officers
constantly congratulate one and can
not suppress feeling of satisfaction
at having taken an active part Ia an
important historical event of the cam

How did 1t all come about? All
the while we had been partly in
france, partly in Lorraine, wandering
about very streluously. without see
ing or accomplishing anything in par
ticular. On the 18th. bright and early,
as always in good humor, we started
out, realizing less than ever before
al that the day might bring. At $3.50.
the lighting between artillery and in
fantry broke out. in which we took a
hand at twelve O'Clock.
As we advanced, | felt thorourb,v

sessed me was to whack away. With
remarkable rapidity. one accustoms

wounded. One becomes so hardened
that the most awful sights seem abso.
iutely natural. Wherever we rode
tnere were the French in their red
trousers. Many batteries were de-
stroyed. and the shells burst and the
shots sang constantly about one.
"A French infantry officer who
called pardon hit on the head. What
became of him l do not know. As we
were about to enter Lagarde, my
horse was shot in the chest and fell
under me.

my division, took shelter in a ditch
