Labyrinths OF Earbed Wire.
It did not seem possible to me that
there was SO much barbed wire III this
big world Of ours as is strung along
through the woods and fields Of this
part of France. It is a deadly wire,
for it has more prickles than any burr
that grows in the fields. and these
prickles are OF steel. The wire is
strung into labyrinths through which
It IS impossible to thread ones way
except under guidance. Back of these
mazes of barbed wire are the trenches,
and in these trenches are the soldiers
of France, although you do not know
it until you drop down into their
midst.
Here they are with their p~eriscopes
watching and waiting in the lull times
for a chance to pick off a foeman
who is looking through his periscope
in a trench some hundreds of yards
away. This is like squirrel shooting.
Probably not more than seven or
eight men are killed in "a hours by
this sharpshooting process, but the
soldiers indulge in it all the time in
order to make their enemy keep under
ground, and II they can, to make
them keep their hearts underground
with them.
Keep Up Their Spirits.

The French are doing it, however, and
