Gets Additional Daily Meal.

The German soldier at the front is
smiling and well fed. as he has one
more warm meal daily than in peace
time The lean greyhounds seen after
the dash on Paris are again rounding
out into portly Germans.
The normal soldier at the front does
not sing as much as formerly, partly
perhaps because he has sung himself
out and partly because singing IN the
immediate vicinity of the enemy is apt
| to draw fire. but he is neither discour-
aged nor exhausted. There is no indi-
cation whatever that his nerves are
breaking under the strain OF the pro-
tracted war.
No trip to the front would be COM
plete without a visit to the field hos
pital. Health conditions are remark
ably good, the surgeons state. even

HEADQUARTERS OF \ CERTAIN

of operations has also been the guest
of Gems. Won Heeriugen. formerly war
minister and now commanding the eth
Army; Won Zwehl the capturer of
Maubeuge, and Won Emmich, the con-
queror of Liege and Namur.
Several hours were spent in the
trenches in a picturesque old town,
where German rif1emen and French
leSionnaires plan and play grim prac-
teal jokes of war upon each other
from positions a scant 200 yards apart.
A race of German trogoldytes was
found in one place on this front Men,
horses. supplies, hospitals and so forth
were housed in hillside cayerns. for
merry stone quarries which were abso-
lutely protected by a fifty-foot stone
roof from even the most powerful shell

Inc morning was passed in an artil-
lery observation stand opposite Rheims,
where a powerful sterescopic telescope
through which the fire of the artillery
IS directed, brought the observer with
J." d uuiuTeu yards or the city and the
cathedral and enabled him to see that
the cathedral and it's towers were
standing fairly intact, although black
ened by fire.
Soldiers in Comparative Comfort.
trip of inspection was made
through labyrinth of field fortiflca-
tons approaches along the Aisne at it's
nearest point to Paris, where the lines
are normally 200 or 800 yards apart.
The soldiers even in the foremost
trenches were found living in COMPARE
tive comfort in their underground
shelters. They are we'll supplied with
blankets, food, water and clothing, and
are in good spirits. despite their long
residence in the trenches Desultory
infantry fire is always in progress
here, and the rattle of machine guns
breaks out now and then. The artillery
on both sides has thrown tons of iron
fights of late in this section Of the
front.
OF all the Impressions of the trip
one of the most striking is that left
by the countless stacks of unthreshed
grain, stretching for miles in every dl-
rection throughout this granary Of
northern France. over a hundred Ger
man threshing machines of the largest
size are working in the region occupied
by the army, and six new ones were
encountered today plugging Forward TO
