With the English.

London.-A German officer attached
to the great general stan in q dis
patch, a copy of which has reached
London, mentions a curious system OF
arranging unofficial armistices which
has lately grown up between the allies
and the Germans facing each other
day and night at close quarters IN the
trenches in Northern France. He al
most makes one believe that the
French and Germans. after weeks OF
intrenchment within few yards OF
each other, have lost their animosi-
ties and regard the great siege battle
north of the Aisne as a sort Of friendly
match away from home. He has bit
ter pen, however. when he writes
about the English.
From noon to two o'clock In the
afternoon" he says. both sides In the
trenches call an armistice. 1t IL q
strict agreement, quite UNOFFICIAL, be-
tween groups of men in the front fir-

ner, and there Is a mutual agreement
to leave the trenches at the same
time. The understanding Is that the
German or the Frenchman shall be
allowed to leave the trench without
being fired on. If the enemy should
break the armistice and fire on our
man we would reply instantly and kill
the corresponding Frenchman as he
was leaving the trenches. This agree
ment with the Frenchman works
amicably, but with the English we
have not attempted to come to such an
understanding. Our bitterness toward
them prevents 1t.

that the Frenchmen can hear US sing

quit, and usually do not insist on his

the prevailing notion to the contrary.
Anybody knows that when a man
quits drinking he does so because he
does not wish to take all the natural

such as one can see on the charts in
any doctors office.
