South Sea Islander Gives Views on Trench Life-FccIs Uncomfortable

'correspondence of The Associated Press)
 SuVa, FIJI Islands, Jan. 25-How the war impresses a South Sea Js1andor the only native Fijian who has act ually been at the fighting front, is indicated in letter received hera rom Chief sakuna. who was a st,,- dent at Oxford University when the war broke out and who enlisted in the Ffench Foreign Legion.
 Hundreds are here, saws he in ms letter from the front. "who can not shoot to hit house, and thev nave been years in the ranks as sol alels: US pad thing that some of you young flJlans are not here The cold ness or the weather is nothing when one is clothed

The fighting areas are like a place that has been ravaged bv a tremendous hurricane Great trees and small scrub are all withered and fallen in all directions and broken by the. shells and the strength of the fumes-that is, the gas which they invented in Germany. Comparatively speaking, it is sweet to read the ac- CouutS OI the war, put the trail O. 1t here crushes the sould The trail of hurricane there with you is merely a storm. Here Degei (Cod) alone can comprehend it.
 One thing l smiled at freuuently, and felt great pity about. Some old men and 'grannies' in the North when some of their houses stood alone re- fused to leave them. They continued to occupy. their homes. along with their dogs, fowls horse and cows I asked couple why they had not fled, and they answered they were too old, and death did not matter to them. In another case the owner remained in his house while our trenches lay at the back of his house, and the en- emys trenches were only 80 yards distant. Every morning he milked his cows, while the projectiles never ceased falling in his enclosure.
 "One thing l abOminated was, when the shells were fired towards us, and they came with a sound like crying, or like whistling, and a develish noise. We did not feel comfortable under it and when they burst it was like the air giving us kick in the side. and our heads shook, and our stomachs seemed on fire.''
