Monotonous in Trenches.

so it is quite monotonous,' said
Cabby "One sits in the trench on his
hunkers and listens to the stories his
heart Between times one listens TO
the Germans talk in the other trench,
just ten feet away"
BY and by conversation starts be-
tween the two sides. 1t usually be-
shades down into fair degree OF
amity The Germans at Metzeral
seem to be short of bread. They have
long ago lost appetite for their war
bread. The Frenchmen have an abun-
dance of crisp, light, delicious bread
The Germans have plenty OF hams and
sausages, while the meat ration is fur
nished fresh to the French troops. The
one has one sort of cheese and the
other another. One has wine and the
other beer.
We have a morning market said
Cabby. We stand up on the firing
platform and trade food until every
one along the line is satisfied"
This friendlineSs is by no means ap-
proved by the officers. 1t is a sur
reptitious indulgence, which is winked
at when il does not go too far. But
there is story of man in the same
part of the front who made bet with
his neighbor that he would play a
game of cards with the German in the
next trench. He did so. by the con-
nivance of both lines. Every one talked
Of il. and ii got to the ears of the high
er officers. There is no friendship at
headquarters for the invaders OF
France. There is only a grim deter
mination that the war shall never end
until the last foot of land has been re-
gained
The man who played cards was
court -martialed," said the man who
told the story. He was shot that
night"

PARIS, March 11.-No stories OF the
war have aroused more incredulity in
the United States than those Of camara- :
derie between the opposing trenches.
War still seems a sort Of organized mur-
der to most civilians. IT is almost I'M
possible to understand that men may try
in the most casual and common place
manner to kill each other in one hour.
and in the next exchange cakes and
compliments and friendly calls only
the men who have had experience in the
first line find nothing unusual in these
affairs.
"Cabby" ''One conducts ones business.
you will comprehend, with minimum
of passion
No doubt "Cabby'' nas a more dignl-
fed name. But he is known under TINS
press Offices in Paris, where before the
war he was stenogra pher. Then Cab
by was round, blond. placid little man
who was quite efficient and imperturb-
able There was nothing of the open air
man about Cabby then. His dealings
with nature were probably confined to
A walk in the Bois of a Sunday after
noon and an annual holiday when the
Grand Prix was run. Now Cabby is a
poilu-a sunnily bearded poilu-who is
back in Paris for his six days leave.
How I hate the Boches,'' said an Of
flee mate Cabby stared.
I'VE don't" said Cabby. I'VE only
try to beat them
So that Cabby began to tell a series of
incidents which confirm the stories of
across the trench fellowship. At Metz
eral. for example. the trenches are in
many places no more than three meters
apart Two armies are almost in each
others arms. 1t is quite impossible for
a man in one of these advanced trenches
to put up his head. except at the immi-
nent risk of having it shot off by some
man in the other trench. The lookout
work is done by the men in the second
trenches. we'll in the rear. The men in
the front trenches are only to check a
rush in case one starts. until the effec-
tives behind them can get their guns in
to play.
