time to come. Under the present con-
dltions Of weather and ground, with
artillery which knows the range of

that a successful offensive is next to

OF infantry across country impossible.
For weeks on end 1t has rained. and
when 1t has not rained thick mists

has cost us many casualties.
1T is only On slightly rising ground
that life Is at all supportable. The
fronts OF the rival armies are covered
with labyrlth of trenches. On both
sides the front lines are often only
