French Officer With Kodak Is

Tells Remarkable Story of His Expe-
rience in Getting Picture of the
Germans-Men Seemed
Quite Happy.

Paris.-L'Illustration, Frances lead
ing pictorial weekly, recently con-
tanned a remarkable story and a re-
markable photograph of an incident
which occurred in the famous forest
of the Argonne. Both picture and
narrative are the work of a French
junior officer, who writes:
The general one morning said to
me: Il want you to make your way
to our first line, and if possible pho
tograph the German trenches 20 yards
away. Mind you, keep your wits about
you, for the enemy shoots the first
KEPT he sees and the moment he hears
a sound"
Amid mass of branches I
perceived our lads. A lieutenant,
warned by telephone, was expecting
me. In a penetrating whisper he
said: Hist! they're only fifteen me-
tiers OFF," soon reached faggot
hedge, and peeping through, with the
aid of field-glass, could distinguish
heap of fresh soil ahead. It was
the German trenches.
Don't look too long," said the lieu
tenant. "or a bullet will whip that
periscope from your hand. What we'd
like to know is whether they're bad
boys or good boys"

We kept as still as mice all the
while, watching intently. Suddenly
the lieutenant began to whistle pop
ular German song:
Drunten i'm Unterland.
Ell! da lists so thunderstorm.
In the valley below
How glorious the life!
He stopped. We never moved a
muscle. Then from the trench oppo-
site came the concluding couplet, whis-
tied in the same key:

Da moecht' ich Jaeger sein!
How glcYious the life

my side a soldier exclaimed: Look,

"Heavens!" pursued the soldier,

sons adduced for and against the em-
ployment Of young mothers as public
school teachers are appropriate for
the consideration OF the law making

The question which We are called

accusation upon which the relator has
