Kept Diary of Anguish.


For ten nights during the recent
heavy fighting in the vicinity of Ypres
the soldiers in the opposing trenches
listened to the plaintive cry of a
wounded man. The trenches on both
sides of a narrow. muddy canal were
not more than 100 yards apart. Both
Germans and French knew the cry
was that of a wounded man in need
of water
Whenever German or Frenchman
tried to creep out of trench to reach
the sufferer bullets found the would

and two little children.
A bayonet had pierced him through.
but for nine days and nights before
the end came he had devoted his ebb-

anguish, physical and mental.
The diary has been sent to the lady

What Worried Him.

Maurice Donnay has received at the
French academy a letter from friend
in dugout at the front. 1t contained
not word about the fighting or the
Jack Johnsons" or the weather in the
trenches. The writer was troubled
about only one thing-he was afraid
that the academy, which has been re-
vising it's dictionary of the French Ian
guage for about threescore years, might
have already reached the letter a.
and about one word under the letter
'I' this photographer in the trenches
holds strong views.
The word is that commonly and. ac-

M. Donnay to bring all his influence to
bear upon the academy to insure the
word being written 'ilassable" in the
revised edition of the dictionary. That
was the only topic he wrote about. 1t
was apparently the one "ppermos' -

M. DOnnay assured him that the
academy was working on the letter &c
and that the war would be over long

A device by which the Germans have
helped winter mask their batteries in
the field in northern France is describ-
ed in a letter written to the Frankfurt

For weeks, he said, the German bat

French near Lille. Then snow fell.

batteries as on the day before by
watching for the sun CLINT on the metal
parts. Everywhere there was but an
unbroken stretch Of white.
The Germans, the writer explains.
had turned each battery into white by
wrapping the wheels and gun carriage
with white towels. sheets and curtains
and stretching a white sheet in front
of it. Suddenly central patch in the
white sheet was drawn away, and the
white nose of the cannon was pointed
upward through it. The very artil-
leryman who touched it off, the CORE

from top to toe in ludlcrouS long

Pictures Night Alarm.

The modern battlefield at night does
not lack picturesqueness, according tC
a German officer whose opportunities
to be impressed have been many. In
a letter to a friend he wrote:
Being On observation duty at night
Time passes very quickly. There are
nights, however, when every minute
seems an hour. All that depends upon
circumstances and your own frame of
mind.
"War here is more intense than it is
in the east. My observation post lies
close to the lines of the French on Il
hill From there | report the move
ments of the enemy and direct our az
tillery fire. Over me fly hundreds Of
shells and shrapnel from both sides.

From out of the night came the usual
battlefield noises, if noises one could
call them. Somewhere men spoke in
an undertone. what language | don't

manner, and the steps of another were
recorded by the faint voice Of two me-
tallic substances striking together.

There was nothing to be seen until

Of purplish fire seemed to leap across

they shot at l could not discover-false

valiantly. and the excitement com
municated itself to the trenches In

my left.
Headquarters wanted to know what
was the matter. After confessing my
ignorance l returned to my task of

field assumed an aspect which l would

moments when it resembled large
