FOES LIVE IN SAME TRENCH
When Fighting Wanes South of
Ypres Germans Move In With
Allies.

Boulogne.-A British soldier re
lates a remarkable story of how the
English and Germans hobnobbed in
the same trench few miles south of
4pres. There were a handful of Ger
mans and n smaller handful OF allied
forces Trenches were but a few
yards apart, and in these for more
than week the men of both sides
had been. bored and inactive They
amused themselves as best they
could, exchanging messages, swap
ping newspapers and tobacco. hurting
back and forth greetings and epithets.
More days passed and still neither
side received orders either to attack
or to withdraw. Some sort of coop
GRAFTON seemed necessary Accord
ingly the Germans hoisted a white
flag and, advancing under this. en-
tered the allied trench for confer
ence. The result was that an agree
ment was reached that 1t would be
more comfortable for all to live in one
trench until one side or the other re-
ceived orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for number of days all
went well. Many of the Germans
spoke English or French. Under the
strange circumstances friendships
sprung up. Both factions dreaded the
arrival OF a messenger. One day a
messenger came, and plans for the re-
newal of hostilities were hastily made.
But the messenger proved to be only
a bearer of mail and newspapers for
the Germans. All gathered around
while German began to translate
the latest dispatch from Berlin.
Unhappily for the harmony of the
gathering, It referred to Ostend BY its
German nickname, "Kales," spoke OF
bombdroppings on various French
towns and of contemplated air raids
on Great Britain. The English
frowned, growled; the French grew
excited. Both sides had by agreement
laid aside their rifles; but both sides
still had their fists. Both used them.
A free-for-all fight followed, and the
unique compact came to an end.

Edinburgh, Scotland.-A letter has
just been received here from a
Frenchwoman whose home is in Sois
sons. long one CT the holly contested
points on the French battlefront. She
describes to her Scotch friend the
misery of the inhabitants of the city
The Germans, it seems, were driven
out, but not beyond the range OF their
big guns. The Frenchwoman did not
desert her home. She says:
I'VE have to remain in our house,
for we really could not bring our
selves to leave it and all our posses
sions, although most of the inhabi
tants have left the town.
For three months the lombard.

times for days and nights without
ceasing, and then we hide in the Gel

are. We simply live in dread OF the
shrapnel, which is going to fall on our
house and set it on fire and bury us
in the ruins.
You have no idea what terrible en-
gines of war the Germans have. See
ing everything around us burn ana
fall to pieces, we live in sort OF
nightmare. Everything in our quar-
ter is demolished. Fortunately our
house has so far escaped. though all

Advocates Reconsideration.

Reviewing the educational system OF the
state, Governor Hatfield advocates the re-
classification of the educational institu-
tons maintained by the state and to make
them Il part of the free school system,
which he asserts would prove advantage
Gus in providing revenue for their main
tenance. The school system cost last year
the sum of s5,9l0.9S2, OF which the state
contributed S7y0,O00 from the general rev.
enue and general school funds, while the
state schools cost the state $551, SCI for
maintenance. Higher salaries for teach
ers, with pensions for those VINO have
been engaged in the service for 25 years,
and free text books are advocated by
Governor Hatfield.
Declaring that the tendency OF state and
local government is to fix responsibility,
the state Executive says that the only
way to accomplish this is to centraize

suits, so that responsibility can be fixed

The Governor asks for several amend
ments TO the law creating the Public
Service Commission, one of the most i'm
portant to empower the commission to
prevent any increase i'm any rate by any
pubic service corporation operating i'm
intra-state business, and another to give

vent changes OF schedules or dIscontnu-

"Great Results Obtained"

Taking into consideration the meager
appropriation OF money made for the en-
forcement of this law, great results have
been obtained. says the Governor in dis
cussing the prohibition statute. I'VE have
been handicapped by the smallness of the
appropriation, being unable to employ the
number of field agents necessary to the
most rigid enforcement.
The general results thus far in the
matter of prohibition have been most sat
isiactCry. The law has been effective
since July 1, 1914. The results for good
have been felt throughout our common
wealth, and many who were actually
against the adoption of the prohibition
anne ndment originally and voted against
II have repeatedly said to me that il an
opportunity presented itself in the future
they would reverse their former action
and favor prohibition" Letters are quot
ed by the Governor from business men
over the state to show the trend OF
thought.
Upon investigation of this depart
ment.' says the Governor with reference
10 the Public Service Commission, land
the lack of any community OF interest in
the ADMINISTRATION Of the public service
law and the hydro electric law with the
compensation law, the conclusion would
be that the compensation law should be
placed under the administration of an in
dtVidual commissioner, entirely without
the Public Service Commission. In some
or the important cases that have come
before this commission their decision has
resulted in tie vote, and the result has
been that no decision has been reached
notwithstanding the great expense in
volved. The possibility of such occur
rences for the future should be averted
by making the commission consist OF an
odd number of members"

Asks For Co-Operatlon.

Under the head OF agriculture Governor
Hatheld asks for cooperation in extern
sion work between the state and Federal
Governments. He declares that laws
should be enacted with reference to live
stock sanitation to prevent the importa-
ton of diseased animals a dairy inspec-
ton law To make compulsory the inspec-
ton OF dairy herds; law requiring more
complete agricultural statistics; requir-
ing the registration of sires: the protec
ton of seed and foodstuffs: the creation
OF veterinary examining board, and the
inspection OF fertilizers and provision for
the eradication OF chestnut blight and
kindred diseases.
The Governor reviews at length the
work OF the recognized State Board OF
Health. out OF every 100 deaths in the
state DO are due to preVentable diseases,
the Executive asserts, claiming that 1000
persons die in the state each year with
tuberculosis. He approves of the recon-
me 1dations Of the Board of Health for
laws TO re-enact the present health code
on a more liberal plane to make more eff
fectual their campaign against infectious
ana contagious diseases, to control the
spread of typhoid fever and other water
borne diseases by the prevention OF the
pollution of the streams OF the state and
the contamination of the public water
supply; TO require the registration OF
births and deaths. and to require the re-
porting OF preventable diseases.

claring that the limit OF endurance by

when the desert is on long stretch
OF hot sand, and the present expedition
was the first to visit the desert in the
winter.
This waste extends more than 20
miles along the boundary line between
Ocean and Burlington counties, and is
stunned by man and beast alike, for
there is little vegetation except dwarf
trees, mostly pines. However, there
are found plants that grow nowhere
else in this country, and some that
grow only in the Far North. Included
in these is the corema, found nowhere
this side of Labrador except in the
New Jersey deserts
The expedition was surprised to find
several specimens of mice, which
were uncovered by digging down
many feet into the soil. Thesred-black
mouse, that once was numerous along
the seashore and which was believed
to- be extinct many years, was found
living in subterranean passages.
How this desert and its strange life
came into existence has been a sub
ject of much speculation. By many
| scientific men it is thought to have
been the result of innumerable forest
Ares. Railroads skirt the waste and
there are no public roads through it.
Natives on it's outskirts tell of lost
men wandering among the sand dunes
until they fell exhausted from the in
toncn HAT in summer and their homes
were found long afterward.

will put through early in the session
a pitiless publicity rule to Danish Sc

ed by the act, as well as defining the

<ed to all persons desiring advance

This is in line with an amendment
to the rules offered by Assemblyman
Godfrey at the last session of the
House, when it was rejected by the
Democratic majority in control. The
Atlantic Assemblyman claimed at the
time that such a provision would en-
able the meaning and objects of bills
to be much more easily grasped by the
general public, as well as avert the
danger of enacting dangerous meas
ures. Tie Democatic leaders refused
to give the publicly plan their sane
ton.
Speaker-elect Godfrey is confident
of its adoption by the Republicans as
a guarantee Of good faith with the
public.
