THOUSANDS
At THE FRONT
SELDOM SHOOT
ARMY PRIVATE TIRING OF
UNROMANTIC LIFE, BUT
is CHEERFUL
(By Associated Press.)

Bar educ Dec. 3.-Tens of thou
sands of soldiers in the active fight
ing army at the front have not fired
a shot for a month or two at time
They serve their fortnight at the eX-
treme firing line, some hours day
in the trenches or just next to them
with their own artillery throwing
shells over their heads, but never
having the chance to empty a cart
ridge at their adversaries. The In
tervals in the reserve lines are spent
in hard work. trenching and fortify-
ing, repairing roads, building shelters
for themselves and the horses and in
towns, where quartered, keeping
streets clean.
The private is becoming thoroughly
tired of the war, but his attitude to-
ward all the mromantic aspects OF
his work is fine. He understands
that in mending a road he is con-
tributing to the success of the French
armies just as though he were firing
a gun. Although he wants the war
to get onward and end he cheerfully
takes the commonplace with the eX
citement. Some of the excellent roads
back of the lines are being repaired
with poles cut from the forests laid
crosswise, making the old fashioned
American corduroy road
