fair way to get what they enlisted for.
 Men of various ages are found in the legion, some of them being gray haired. but all their hearts are young and to a man they are eager TO get over to France and see some real fight ing," as the veterans of the Philippine. Mexican and Central American can- paigns express it.
 The Americans have a SaEle and drum corps of which they are p-Ond. and with justice. It is a snappy organization and sets the Canadians gasping when it goes into action. Like all the men of the battalion. the musicians have been given stiff training. In fact, some of them say that the legion has been trained too much. The men enlisted to fight, not to drill for years, and they want to be off for the front. They are a fine lot of boys. and can be depended upon to give a good account of them selves.

 Italians and Austrians SAME BARRED WIRE
Prevents Austrians From Getting at Italians and Former From Doing the Same-Trenches Run Together
 in Village-Wonderful Test

\ Headquarters of the Italian Army, June N-(Correspondenee of the Associated Press)-Zasora, which is a little noun tain hamlet that was buried in oblivion before the war, is famous today as the cnly point on the Austro-Italian front, and perhaps on any army front, where enemy trench lines actually run into each ether For 400 miles on this front the Aus trlan and Italian trenches run parallel, being often as close as 30 to 50 yards, but at Zagora they slide into each other and then slide away again, uphill and down dale following the general trend of the lsonzo river. which empties into the Adri- atic sea far above Venice.
 The situation at zagora illustrates the difficult and curious character of the
 warfare on this front, where there are probably not anywhere opposing lines of
 trenches crossing so much as a single
 acre of flat land, for there is no flat land
 except on rare mountain top
 You must see Zagora, they're alway. fighting there, playing little tricks on
 each, said a division staff officer to { correspondent of the Associated Press He then took down photographic mar and showed two lines of trenches running for miles along the mountain sides.

BRITAIN DEFENDS
CHINA HOLO-UP

Take Foes From Ameri-
can Ship
BY United PRESS.

WASHINGTON. April l2.-That
Germans seized from the American
liner China were engaged in unneu-
trail service. and were shifting their
base OF operations from Shanghai
to Manila. is the contention of Great
Britain in her reply TO this govern
ment's protest against their seizure
from an American boat This was
revealed by the state department
today, making known the British
reply.
Great Britain contended she had
the right TO seize these men, though
they were not actually allied with
her enemy's fghting forces and
that I'm so doing, she did not violate
the sovereignty of neutral power.
The note held that the Trent case
in the Civil war upon which the
United States based it's protest
against IAN unwarranted invasion
OF the sovereignty of an American
vessel on the high seas' did not
square with the China situation.
