WHERE DEATH Turks ALWAYS
Bullets Sing Without ceasing, and
Birds Sometimes, in "No Mans
Land" on Battle Front.

But it is a wonderful thing, that
strip we call No Mans Land, running
from the North sea to Switzerland
500 miles. All the way along the line,
day and night, without a moments
cessation, through all these long
months, mems eyes have been glaring
across that forsaken strip, and lead
has been flying to and fro over 1t.
10 show yourself means death. But
l have heard a lark thrilling over it in
the early morning as sweetly as any
bird ever sung over an English
meadow. A lane of death 500 miles
long, strewn from end to end with
the remains Of soldiers. And to either
side of it all through those 500 miles,
a warren of trenches, dugouts, saps,
tunnels, underground passages, inhab-
tied, not by rabbits, but by millions
OF rats, 1t is true, and millions of hiv-
ing, busy men, with countless billions
of rounds of death-dealing ainmuni-
ton, and a complex organization as
closely ordered and complete as the

TOO KEEN ON THEIR SPORT
Anglers Would Have Done Better to
Have Read the Other Side of the
Notice Board.

The disciples of Izaak Walton had
found a perfect stream for the exercise
of their art, and they settled them
selves for a days fishing, underterred
by a notice board. The board, which
had been painted by an amateur, read
"Notiss-These grounds is privet,
and yer carn't fish ERE. These fish
ain't the kind to be tempted by
Wurms, and there"
Here space ran out, and the injunc-
ton was left uncompleted. For two
hours the anglers sat by the stream,
tempting the trout, not with worms,
but with the very latest and most ex-
pensive bait"
But nothing happened. Then sud-
denly appeared the owner of the
grounds and the author Of the notice
board.
Hi, you two! Ave yer read that
boardY'
"Well yes, we did. But = er - we
thought you wouldn't mind, and we
couldn't find your house, or we would

ooh, it don't matter! I on'y thought,
SEEM yer afshin' there, that you
admit read both sides Of the board. If
you ave, of course, go on amusing

A hasty glance at the other side of
the board showed that it continued the

follows:
