TIE WAR 4 MOST
 RIDICULOUS THING

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The "big push" which the British and French have at last at- tempted along the northern portion of the German line has been viewed by at least some of the officers in the British trenches as likely to entail a sacrifice of life that no general will be prepared to face, according to a captain whose letter from the British front, written just before the bi gforward movement began, gives some interesting light on the present psychology of the men in the trenches.
 Ralph L. Shaniwald, a New York manufacturer, makes public the lette', without disclosing the identity of the captain who wrote it.
 ''We talked of a 'big push when was in London" says the officer. 'I: may be attempted, and I may be in it but the sacrifice of life will be some thing that in my humble opinion, no general will be prepared to face. Only those who have had some experience of trench warfare can appreciate the stupendous difficulties of a great for ward movement, with it's attendant wholesale slaughter of the very blood that England requires most. No; in my opinion, valueless though it be, our policy must be one of attrition-of wearing out the enemy-a policy that fully recognize, however, may mean the bankruptcy of the civilized wordl. Verdun is doubtless the last great eff fort of a desperate and wonderfully or ganized military nation, but it's failure in that quarter will not render the task of overthrowing it's well-handled masses of troops very much easier, un- der trench circumstances"
 In other parts of his letter, the British captain frankly discloses what he thinks of war:
 Between you and me-" he says, ''war is the most damnable, stupid, non-sensicaI thing taht was ever in- vented for settling disputes, and is carried on by brainless, well-meaning men, that you wouldn't give the office boys job to. Incompetence, inefficien- cy, and pluck; effrontery, interference and red tape and ability, are all mixed up together out here, in manner that would drive a business man like you crazy.
 'I have no intention of wearying you with the tales of 'hurtling' shells, and the deafening roar of cannon, making your blood run cold with the stories of the sights that disgust you, and yet fill you with deep sympathy; of shocks and hairbreadth escapes; of tales of valor, and of trembling knees; of the brave British officer shaving under shell fire (although have done that stunt many a morning, without cutting myself); of shots that pierced the tunic to be deflected finally by the small Bible presented by the blue and brown eyed maiden of Bloomsbury Square; of the bullying officer being saved by the freshfaced youngster full filling noble revenge
