THE HAGUE, Nov. 2.-To other assertions that the French soldier is not particularly thankful for having to wear red pants and blue coats, when his adversary is clothed in a un- form which in Europe's landscape of gray-green is next to invisible, the correspondent of the Roman news paper MeSSagero, makes a slight and humorous contribution:
 "The spirit of the French army is excellent" he wrote. "In spite of the hardShips they have to endure the French soldiers are in good humor, expressing this now and then in rath- CT boSterouS fashion. Their frugahty is marvellous. Getting a cigarette is a big event with them. But they are not pleased with their red pants, which in times of peace they would not do with out for anything.
 You are cracking a hard nut, re- marked the correspondent to a soldier who had crawled out of wet trench to dry himself in the sun.
 Indeed monsieur: Those fellows are the color of an earthworm. You can't see them, while our pants are loud enough to be seen for miles. But We can't very well do without them can we Q"
 In his dispatch the correspondent points out that the German medical service is far superior to the French, who, as he alleges, lack even some of the necessary surgical instruments and needed housing for the wounded. The effects of the German artillery fire are characterized by the cores pondent as indescribably terrible"

 "A German battery which had been caught in a swamp, and which for this reason had been cut off from the main force, managed finally to free itself from the mud. Instead of surrender ing it continued singlehanded the fight against the advancing French. The German artillerymen beat their assailantS off with helliSh fire, which the French artillery tried in vain to silence. Until in the evening the bat tery continued it's deadly work until it's ammunition became exhausted and the men were either dead or wounded. When I arrived the brave crew had already been buried, and the guns still rested on trees which the men had placed under the wheels in order that the pieces might not disappear in the mud
