PRINT PAPERS IN TRENCHES
Soldiers Advent Into Foreign Lands Productive of Journalistic
 Oddities.

Berlin.-The war is responsible for and in almost every fortress, of a se- ries of newspapers which, for obvious | reasons, set quite new style in jour- nalism. In parts of northern France, where German troops are trying to get out German papers with French type cases, issues are already coming to be prized as curios in which the letter "" has to be used for the "w" and the "a" for the g." so comparatively unusual in French. The "h" is fre- quently missing.
 At points where troops are stationed for long periods it has been possible to make frequent use of the cartoon. and war has drawn into the ranks so many artists. writers and skilled tradesmen and printers that the re- sultant output is often astonishingly good.
 All over Europe, especially in dis tricts that have been conquered, are being issued papers in the native lan- guage, for the purpose of educating the civil population to the conqueror's viewpoint and of combating the claims and statements of native papers. Many are printed in two languages. Busi- ness houses. banks and factories are publishing papers full of home news, which they send to employees at the front

Paris.-An official eyewitness, de- scribing operations by which the French are menacing German posi- tions in the wedge of St Mihiel, says:
 All the Ally woods, which consti- tuted a strong and we'll fortified sup port for the Germans, now is entirely in French hands, conquered for the most part by troops from the center Of France, after several days of sys- tematic preparations by heavy artil- lery fire.
 At certain points the Germans had constructed on the front of meats l2 yards wide spiked barriers extend ing about six feet above the level of the earth, surrounded by barbed wire eDtanglements, which were so intri- cate as to make them impervious to any tools

 After five hours of intense ire, five mines, laid under a parapet adia. cent to the principal fort holding the position, exploded annihilating tho garrison and spreading panic in the trenches.
 An attack with fixed bayonets then began in three lines, preceded by a detachment with hand grenades. Engineers followed with bridges pre- pared in advance to facilitate passage over the network of trenches. Tho order has been given to pass over the trenches and take the enemy ir the rear.
 Three lines of trenches were thus cleared of the Germans. Those who sought refuge in the underground shelters perished from suffocation through the collapse of the entire earthworks.

EATS WITH HIS MEN
Kaiser Depends on ''Goulash
 CannonS" for Meals.
Intimate Picture of the Soider-Emper or in the Field-No Special Prep arations of Any Kind Are
 Made for Him.

New York.--An intimate picture of the kaiser in the field. the soldier emperor whose sharing of the life of the common soldier has united the humblest and the highest in Germany in love, affection and veneration. is given in the following dispatch to the New York Staats-Zeitupg
 The kaiser to whom the "goulash cannons," the great travelling kettles of hot food, owe their existence. is very favorably inclined toward this important new contrivance on the field. Many tales are told in evidence of this. of which the following Is one:
 A country road in France-soldiers arrive. carefully carrying dishes. The dust-covered field grays who are en- toying their repast suddenly become attentive. On the road there appear four riders-officers. One separates from the group and gallops over to the "goulash cannon"
 Have you a bit left for us?"
 At your service, captain"
 Almost immediately the other three riders gallop up. The kaiser! in de- lighted surprise all shout "Hurrah!" and the highest commander thanks them with a smile
 How does it taste?" he asks. Do not let me disturb you: l only want a bite to eat, too; am hungry"
 Then he rides over to the "goulash cannon" where the captain already has dish filled for him.
 He takes it good naturedly and eats in the midst of his soldiers.
 Excellent, excellent" he says now and then and asks for second DOT tion. "I am taking away your share. but l will prove my gratitude"
 The soldiers are enthusiastic and proud that the kaiser took his food like each of them from the same ''goulash cannon" and "dined" in their midst. A real soldier kaiser! A rousing hur- rah accompanies him when he takes leave of his men with vigorous Good day!"
 In the evening several geese and CuiIhCho W0At SSiis eiS for the noon meal and were eaten with great joy for supper
 This little incident is characteristic of the attitude and life of the kaiser at the front. for he lets no opportun- ity pass to take his food from the "goulash cannon" when he is visiting his troops along the battle line. For this reason no arrangements are ever made for the kaiser's meals on these trips.
 We will meet 'goulash cannon" he always says when asked as to what he wishes to order for his dinner. This is also a proof of the excellence of the food which the troops receive from the field kitchens, for the kaiser never announces his arrival before hand. No special preparations are made for him.
 T will eat what my soldiers eat" he has often declared.
