AT HOME in Trench;
HOW SOLDIERS live
he enemy and SO enfiladed.

tue enemy ana SO ennladeu.
The Colonel's headquarters. for in
stance, is entered from the back, and
approached by trench which twist
around behind 1t. Moreover, the line
of the fire trenches is broken at inter-
walls against possible enfilading-and
connected by little semi-circular
trenches which skirt around the solid
interval of earth. But the way will be
tortuous for other reasons. The whole
line of the two armies is tortuous be-
yond the suspicious of reader who
sees it twist little along the from
tier, but suppose 1t will be straight
enough for half mile. Losses here
and gains there are partly a cause
of this, but much more is the fact that
the whole series of trenches is devel-
oped from skillful use of natural con
ditions. Sometimes the trench is mere
ly a ditch which has been deepened.
At other times the adaptation of pit
or q hollow makes it 10 feet deep, and
the men have to climb up on lodges to
fire out of it. Here and there the con-
Meeting trnch becomes a tunnel, by
having been rooted in. At other plac-
es convenient bush or hedge affords
cover which has enabled quite little
cavern to be dug under its protection.
Though the hardship is severe
enough, the en- manage to make them

be supposed. They have charcoal
braziers, which help to keep them

talk-of installing electric light The
Adjutant has made quite little Office
of his "dug-out," and pins notes and
orders and kilograms onto the clay
wall in front of him. When the trench
es have ben in existence long enough
ther is communication everywhere
though it is often difficult to squeeze
by, and as for sleep-well, you car
take a little of that as soon as the
shelling starts, for you know there
will not be an attack till that is over!
The only thing you can hardly any
where do is to stand up. If you tr!
it ping" almost at once, and you are
lucky if you only get your face splut
tered with mud. And just out there
sometimes only SO yards away-they
are taking the same precautions abou'
all of us, and peeping with the same
curiosity. And between the lines is S,
yards Of ordinary field. where no on
dare venture by day, and only at i'm
minent danger by night. In that 8
