Worried About Their Trenches.
They did not seem to realize that
they exemplified truly astonishing
courage and hardihood The only thing
that really worried them was their
trenches, which would be occupied
these four days by young recruits,
who might, because of their mex
perience, let the rain get in.
The lieutenant told me smil1ngiy
that he had a luxurious room back
there, the fitting of which cost him 20
francs ($5), and he was afraid that
during his absence the rain m1gnt

DYING MESSAGE OF SOLDIER
Vivid Picture of Pathos of Man Pass
ing Away in a Foreign
Land.

London-At Hull the other day the
archbishop of York read letter from
one of his own chaplains at the 'front.',
giving a vivid picture of the pathos
of soldier dying in a strange land
for a cause he only dimly understood.
Kneeling beside a wounded soldier in
a little tent lighted by candle flicker
ing in the wind, the chaplain was adj
dressed thus: Am l dying, sir?"
yes, sonny, you are" "My Cod"
Then pause. please break it gen
thy to my missus. She is expecting nay

lain took up crucifix from his neck
and held it up. The soldier raised mis-
head, laid it down again and began to

FIRE 1000 BULLETS APIECE
Extraordinary Expenditure of Car
tridges Required to Kill One
Man in This War.

London.--One of the things frequent
ly noted by soldiers at the front in
writing to relatives and friends is the
extraordinary expenditure of bullets
required to kill a man. A German re-
port says that many German soldiers
fired 1000 cartridges apiece during the
first month of the war. An English
observer estimated that 25' German
shells are wasted for every man killed
that the Germans fired $50 bullets and
six shrapnel shells for every wounded
Frenchman In the Russo-Japanese
war it is said 5000 bullets were fired
for every life lost.

Master of Memory,

1t was Whistler's habit to memorize
an effect in nature. and Mr.. T. r.
Way, in his recent Memories" gives
an example of his cleverness at it.
I shall never forget a. lesson he gave
me one evening. We had left the
studio when it was quite dusk and
were walking along the road by the
gardens of the Chelsea hospital, when
he pointed to a group of buildings in
the distance, an old public house at
the corner Of the road, with windows
and shops showing golden lights
through the gathering mists of twi-
light.
Look" he said
AS he did not seem to have anything
to sketch or make notes on, took out
notebook and offered it to him.
mo, no; be quiet!" he said; and
after a long pause he turned and
walked back a few yards; then, with
his back to the scene, he said:
Nov, see if / have learned It," and
then he gave a description of the
scene, perfect in every detail of ar
rangement and color, as he might have
repeated poem he had learned by
heart.
Then we went on, and soon there
came another picture that appealed to
me even more than the former. | tried
to call his attention to it, but he would
not look at it.

when it rains" said soldier with
heroic carelessness, you get wet.
That is all there is to it,"
I learned that several men, i'll from
dampness, had been sent to the hospi-
tai.
Death Loses Its Terrors.
The following story illustrates how
little preoccupied with death these
men are:
One day the men in the rear guard
trench decided to send a soldier to
fetch water from village two kilo-
meters (1.2 miles) away. 1t was a
fine, warm day and they wanted to
wash themselves. An hour later the
soldier returned with two pals of wa
ter, which all were eager to use, but
they lacked towels.
One soldier said he would get some
from the advance trenches, where
there were several. He went ducking
down the zigzag passage which con-
meets the trenches, and which, because
of it's length, is named Rue Lafayette,
after the longest street in Paris. All
the trenches are named. There is
Rue de la Paix, an Avenue de lOpera
and the grand boulevards.
Killed, But Towels Are Saved.
They waited, but the soldier did not
return and another went to hunt for
him. Finally he saw the soldier with
bent to the earth. A call brought no
answer. The man had rashly lifted
his head above the ground and was in
stantly shot through both temples.
The soldier who told this story took
the towels from his dead comrade and
calmly returned to wash himself.
What would you expect?' he asked.
ct might have been my turn half an
hour later. There was no use in wor-
rying."
That night two men went and got
the body of their comrade and buried
it.
No Word of Rebellion.
During the entire two days / lived
with these men / did not hear a single
word of anger or revolt. They ques-
toned me eagerly for war news, about
what the people were saying in the
cities and what the opinion was in
the allied and neutral countries They
expressed the hope that the war would
not last much longer, and some sighed
when thinking of their wives and chill
dren, photographs of whom they
showed me. But always they were
good humored.- 1t was as if new and
simplified souls had formed within
them adapted to the present extraor-
binary circumstances.

whom the men treated respectfully, as
both were leaders as well as COM
rades; from the thoughtful young civil

Chauvinism.

A chauvinist is one who is absurdly
jealous of his country's honor or
pulled up with an exaggerated sense
of national glory. The words "chau-
whist" and "chauvinism" are taken
from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, a
soldier of Napoleon, who was so no.

monstrative devotion to the imperial
cause that he was caricatured on the

/ London. Dec. %. While there has
been considerable renewal of activi-
| ty at several points in both the East
ern and Western fronts in the past
twenty-four hours. the situation in
the Balkans has the most peaceful
appearance in weeks. Dispatches
from both Germanic and entente
sources agree that the probability Of
an Austro. German-Bulgarian offens-
i've against Saloniki is disappearing
with the withdrawal of the Bulga-
rian frontier guards to purely de-
fensive positions, well behind the
Greek frontier.
On the Western front the German
official communication admits
French advance on Hirzstein but
gives no details. There also has
been further activities in the Vosges
district with intense artillery fight
ing along the whole front of Hart
mans Wellerkopf.
Vienna reports the Russians at
lacking fiercely on the Dniester and
in Bessarabia. The Austrian COM
munication speaks of the Russians
advancing in serried lines, fifteen or
sixteen deep, which the artillery
broke up. with huge Russian losses.
A dispatch from German source
says: "A terrible battle has been GO
ing on since Friday in Bessarabia."
The German campaign in the near
east and beyond, according to tele-
grams, is to be pushed with the ut
most vigor and energy. Field Marsh
al Won Mackensen is reported to be
the leader selected for the new thea.
tire of operations and the invasion Of
Egypt is said to be his immediate
object. Numbers of trains are re-
ported to be conveying ammunition
and guns to Constantinople and 9TH
er preparations are being pushed on
a big scale.
From many isolated fronts come
reports of preparations for spring
campaigns, either in the form of a
change in the location of large bod
les of troops or in the building of
Notifications. Along the Dvinsk and
Bug lines the Germans are said to be
constructing colossal Notifications,
equipped with heavy artillery and
machine guns and automatic rifles
supplied in unlimited quantities.
The Bulgarians are reported to be
busy entrenching their armies well
back of the Grecian frontier, while
equipment continues to arrive for
the French and British at Saloniki,
which in the report of Gen. Castel-
nau is considered by its defenders
impregnable.
A change is also noted in the Turk
ish dispositions at, the Dardanelles. |
where the defenders of Gallipoli are
in possession of heavier siege guns.
which have been hlkter served since
the Austro- Germans opened the road |
to Constantinople.
1t is understood that the British |
authorities are making every posi-
bic preparation adequately to defend |
the Suez canal and their Egyptian |
positions.

 With signal honors bestowed upon him. at the supreme convention of the Foresters of America, Colonel T. J. Murphy returned toN this city yester- day after an interesting trip to the Pacific coast. His journey included stops at the Panama-Pacific exposi- tion and that at San Diego.
 During the convention Colonel Mur- phy was elected chairman of the com nnittee on conventions and was instru- mental in having the next convention slated for. a New England ci+y-Port- land, Maine.
 Other Connecticut men to be. hon. pred by the convention were Mayor George B. Sullivan of. Derby, chairman of the law committee; John J. Mack of Hartfordd, chairman of the obard of auditors; M.

 The conyention was an important one and many novel changes were made in the conduct of the order, chief among which was the permission for ritual in foreign language where the majority of a court did not speak Eng fish.
