| SHIPPING is LITTLE
LESS THAN MURDER
(By Herbert Temple)

London, Jan. 6.-Sniping in the
trenches in Flanders is murder, says
an Oxford professor in letter home
which has just come into my posses
sion. He gives a vivid account of the
horrors of warfare in pine wood
where the Germans can be heard sap
ping 80 yards in fSont of the British
line.
This professor of Greek and Latin
has been a master of scouts since Au-
gust. He writes to his junior dean
from some place in the vicinity Of
Ypres. His letter is as follows:
"This is the thirteenth day in the
trenches, at least think so, but |
can hardly tell, and ! have expert
enced everything but a bayonet charge
and a wash. We have been holding
trenches in a pine wood-at least it
was a pine wood, now it is match
wood, soaked, splintered, spattered
with wet and blood. There has been
no hand to-hand fighting. 1t has
all been done by the shell and rifle
fire and with pneumatic bombs. The
Germans main trench runs in line
whose nearest point is 500 and fur
thest 1900 years from us. But in
between they have been burrowing
up, and in the last few days, when |
have been scoutmaster, | have dis
covered subsidiary trenches, pits and
dugouts, from within 100 to 80 yards
of Our line. You can't see them be
cause of the tangled woods, but you
can hear the men digging and hack
ing as soon as you get five yards out.
] myself have constantly within the
last few days between within thirty
yards. This morning | shot at four
men IN a pit at range of five yards
iii the weird light of a damp and
frozen November dawn. 1t was all
like a dream-seeing the phantom
spade rising and falling behind a
mound of damp earth; creeping down
into six-foot pit, sighting four
ghostly blue gray figures and punctu-
ating the whole gray unreality with
four red pistol flashes.

one or two, but the others had rifles
in their hands by this time, and their

EXHAUSTION WILL
END THE CONFLICT
(By Lawrence Eiston)

London, Dec. 31.-From a close first
hand study of the situation, | do not
see how the war can end without the
destruction of such a large number
of men as to lead to permanent i'll
effects upon the European race and
evil results on the civilizations of the
world. Freedom from German
world wide military despotism is to be
purchased at a terribly heavy price.
After the failure of the first Ger
man rush on Paris in the early part
of September, the possibility of a
quick end was eliminated. The Battle
of the Marne, marking the high tide
of German invasion, will probably be
thought of as the true crisis in this
conflict in years to come. But sud :
den German collapse on either the
southern or western battle fronts is
impossible to conceive. The Prussian
military organization is in better
working order than ever Moreover
aeroplanes have made scouting on
both sides so perfect that strategy
in the old sense is no longer pos
sible.
With sudden surprises eliminated, ii
