the ordinary business OF country life
was going on as though this Part Of
the 400-mile battle line was not at
their front doors.
Men Confident of Power.
The men in the trenches, watching
or lounging, digging or building, were
quiet, weather-seasoned meE. They
talked simply, even with dignity, OF
their work, without any suggestion Of
having done anything extraordinary;
with endless interest in their york,
confident in their power 10 take and

The forests to the back of the fight
ing point are astir with men cutting
and saving trees for roofing trenches.
Others are widening the mountain
paths into roads, along which wind
strings of mules. They are surefoot-
ed animals from the French and Span
ish PyrenGes. They are loaded with
shells for the 212-inch mountain guns,
ammunition boxes, bags Ct bread,
casks Of water and wine and a thou
sand articles essential to operations
in the forests. They also carry lack
ages from home for the soldiers.

seriously wounded are carried by
stretcher men. Near here, in another
part Of the Vosges, Harvard ambulance
men are working.
The Associated Press correspondent
was the first civilian who had visited
this part of the battle front in months.
Every one talked of long war, and
even Of another winter in the trenches.
"Ah, yes" they said, these Ger
mans must take a lot of beating"
The only solution of the war, from
the soldiers way of looking at it, is to
kill many more hundreds Of thousands
Of their adversaries and to keep on
killing and pushing them back. They
feel in the Vosges that they are max
ing positive gains at losses lesser than
the ones they inhict.

The Associated Press describes the last

ditions April 80 on Hartm2nnsweller-
kopf, about which the French and the
German official statements have been
fatty contradictory. On April %, two
days before the above dispatch was
written, the German official statement
said:
"The French assert that they have

we took away from them on April %.
