THE HAGUE. November so.-when q
\ baltic Is not In progress the best Of
feeling appears to exist between the
French and German soldiers who for
two months have faced one another on
the long line between Newport and
Belfort
So close are the camps to each other
4 that II is possible for the two forces to
exchange words. They indulge In good
nRtured contests, such as shooting at
spade targets. with no intention OF
hares which run between the lines.
"a French soldier writes of these
amusements:
"A target is painted on q spade and
moved through our trench In such q
way that 1t elbows about two feet
above the ground. The Germans shoot
at it. With stick we indicate the
results of their fire, and when ono hits
the bulrs-eye he is rewarded with the
waving of n French flag.
"There is another sort OF target
practice which is very popular. The
region around US Is full of cabbage
fields, and the cabbage fields are full
of hares and rabbits. These hares
sometimes cross our own private
meadow. Immediately both trenches

graceful somersault throws his
ears up in the air and falls martyr
to Europes militarism.
"Then comes the time to divide our
spells. If Br'er Rabbit expires on the
German half. the custom Of the ooun-
try prescribes that German may leave
the trenches and get the prize. That
day the German cave dwellers ate
'hasenbraten.' If the animal dies on
our side, we delegate a man to fetch
him, and we eat Iievre farrell But II
he should die most inconsiderately
right on the limo. then there Ia trouble.
We both rush for our meal while a
terrific fire Is opened. and we run the
risk Of being killed by friend as well
as by enemy.
"The other day we did not know on
which side of tho line hare had died.
We looked out of our trenches and
the Germans fred. The Germans
peeped around the corner and we fred.
Finally a court of arbitration took the
matter in hand. A loud German voice
the proposal was fair. One of our men
showed the Germans three packages OF
cigarettes. Then he climbed out OF
the trench and walked to the dead hare.
He deposited his cigarettes and took
the hare. Then he returned. A Ger
man came and took the tobacco. Five
minutes later the Germans were smok-
ing and we were preparing our stew"
The camps frequently entertain each
other with singing. And perhaps a
few moments later the efforts of both
sides will turn to whistling-bullets

lack Of enlisted men.
There are 1876 and twenty limo
officers short of the number necessary
to man the vessels of military value
which could he used In time of war;
the statement adds: while there Is
little doubt that this demand would
be met by the ex-service men now in

result unless an organization was per-

Shortage Of officers Ia more serious

"I worked out the figures some time

base In the United States, about 200
merchant vessels would be required.

Waists Of the season.

Shadow lace and net blouses to be
worn with diaphanous skirts have low
cut necks with frills and long sleeves
i,imilarly finished, oftentimes being
finished with pink and blue ribbon
across the front and under the lace.
Tulle waists are dainty and diapha-
nous, their beauty being enhanced by
dark fur trimmings. such as skunk or
Tole cat. The fur gives a touch Of
wintriness. These waists are made
OF plain or figured tulle. many being
made plain in front but with plaits in
back. They are made with deep XII
mono sleeves, tied in at the wrist by
a black velvet band.
The bolero style of waist is popular,
with two or three distinctive clasps in
front. A Stuart collar edged with fur
gives this type touch OF smartness.

had done so she found that all hei

shades, in gold and salmon or in coral,
are very effective. Turquoise and other
blues are good, and the lighter strong
green's are wonderful. One may in
dulge in brilliant color, since it is
yelled in black and the trimming is in
black also.
This consists of band of black vel
vet ribbon about an inch and half
wide, at the base of the crown, and a
butterfly Cor the distant relative of a
butterfly fashioned of maline and vel
vet on wire foundation. A very sim
pie bow OF three loops and three ends
is tied becomingly at the base Of the
ornament.
To make such hat requires a pro-
fessional knowledge Of millinery. It
has all the elements Of style and is
excellent in every regard. The brim is
wider at the back than at the front,
droops little before it begins to roll
upward, and is not easy to cover with
velvet. The overlsy Of maline softens
the outline and les down brilliant
color to the pr per reserve. And the
whole shapely hat is given character
by the saucy and rather absurd butter
fly ornament. Pretty as it is, it might
pass almost unnoticed, except for the
ornament. This is its note Of triumph
and all that it needed.
