PATHETIC MEMOIRS FOUND N THE TRENCHES

LONDON, Nov. 24.-There was
made public here today a pathetic
collection OF letters, postcards and
other documents found in the possess.
ion of German soldiers killed on the
Western front. The dead men be-
longed to a Bavarian division.
The reservist Wiesman carried a.
bout with him a picture postcard of
a pretty sylvan scene near his home
until its edges were frayed and torn.
Joseph Mehling evidently treasured
u card, signed by his parents and
sisters, and on the back of it the his
tory and reproduction of the Wonder
The Mehling family commend Joseph
to the care of the Virgin, and his
faithful sister Eugenie' longs for his
home coming.
OF like charactek is the lard sem
to the Volunteer. Karl Drescher, by
his parents. There is a picture of a
sorrowladen old man and woman
with furrowed faces before a roadside
crucifX. Under the picture we read,
Protect and shelter him. o., God. In
the land of the enemy"
"Liessel," a Bavarian girl with ex-
cellent handwriting, sends a letter to

production, hoping that her "Lieber
Schatz" was well. and forwarding a
sheet of note paper that he might
write to her.
a letter from Wurzburg to a soldier
at the front is signed Your Parents,
and throws a world of light on the
thought at the back of minds of mil
lions of Germans. 1t is as follows:-
Beloved Karl,-Today at last l am
able to fulfill your wishes after the
house has been cleaned. For me, with
my n arm, II was a terrible job.
Evenings l was so tired that l could

have wished for a long time to
send you a nice hard sausage, but,
dear Karl, such things cannot be
paid for by poor devils like US. 1t
would cost three marks. Most OF all.
We would rather mo- live any longer.
We car hardly buy anything. Butter.
eggs. lard can only be had by rich
people. If this state of things con
tinues we shall see something happen.
All. dear Karl. with the deepest sor.
row in my heart, l think of you having
to bear the wicked winter. II only
peace would again return. Other
wise nc news. With hearty greetings
and a kiss from your loving parents.
One of the most interesting papers
is a frayed copy of No. lis of the
Parole" OF the German Soldiers
Journal" the official weekly organ of
the German Veterans Alliance. The
journal has a circulation of 3OO.O 900
copies. 1t contains a concise resume
of the most important war kilograms
of the week, and a very carefully Sc
lected collection OF interesting news
items from all war fronts.
There is a clear map of the progress
of German arms in Russia, and a sort
of magazine page. with jokes. conuI-
drums, and problems" good, solid,
useful reading, most of 1t. Another in
teresting thing is an official song book
in a paper cover, ornamented with the
national colors and the Black Eagle.
The soldier buys this collection of
songs for two cents, and an admir-
able collection it is. There is not a
song in it of a rubbishy character
nothing that does not appeal to the
soldier as a patriotic and fighting son
of the fatherland.
