yards of the Cnemy's trench, and in some cases the two ldVerSarieS occupy the same trench separated only by a barricade of sacks of earth. The ten- sion there is at the maximum in the incessant guard against surprise. It is in such spots so many soldiers sue cumb or are blinded for life by the hand grenade, which, in hands become expert by years training have be- come more terrible engine of w;~r than ever before
 "The struggle never ceases though it may not every day give copy for the communique," said an officer. ''It takes on all hitherto known and some hitherto unknown methods. Each de- tachment makes war in the way in which the lay of the ground and the

position of the troops impose it.
 Where barbed wire cant be used spiked detenses, called 'chevaux de 1rlse' with sharp-pointed stakes of steel sucking up to the height of q man, are rolled over the parapet of the trench. Where the lines re so close artillery cannot be used against the adversary, the trench mortar called the 'crapouillot comes into play. Where the contact is such that even the mortar cannot be utilized, we fall back on the hand genade, or the aerial torpedo. It is the torpedo that according to the evidence of prison CTS, causes most terror as well as most havoc in the German trenches. It may be used at close range and it's ex- plosiVe force is extraordinary"

the men at work drop their picks and shovels for the rifle and the fusillade becomes general. The bomb singers join in and generally the six-inch guns follow, covering the lines with frag- ments of steel, killing some men, wounGing others, ,.rupturing the barbed wire entanglements and damaging the trenches That is the average inVen- tory of day of the winter campaign on the French front that the official communique dryly characterlzes as "calm." It is going on every day all along the front with constan mt Wastage of men in killed and wounded.
 Our shells go no straighter, but without question they do more dam age than those of Germans" said an artillery officer to the Associated Press. we see it every day in block houses torn to pieces and in ammunition stores blown up; we can't see all the execution our fire does to the trenches, but we can guage it pretty well from what we do See.
 Six Inch Shell Effective.
 The principle havoc to the German tenches and field Qualifications is the work of the six-inch shell. The three inch shell is more effective against troops, in defense, in pursuit, but not powerful enough to break through trench Qualifications. At nightfall after one of those "calm" days of the official communique, the men creep out through the mud to stretch more barbed wire where the lines have been broken, to drive new stakes where they have been wrenched out by shells. Two of the daily cares are the destruction and maintenance of those lines. To drive those ppickets in to the ground it is necessary to pound them; each stroke of the sledge ham mer resounds and draws a shot from the opposing trench, twenty to 100 yards away; the shot afterwards be- 1 comes a fusllade and often brings the 1 first and sometimes the second line ln- ] to a night attack.
 "Our soldiers have developed the 1 instincts of a trapper," said an officer, | from living so long in close contact l with the enemy they are able by i'm signs to detect the stroke | in preparation by the adversary, or a 1 weakness that it is necessary to put to profit without delay.

At some points the adversaries have renounced heights that have cost too much and have dug in on the slopes; they push out little listening or observation posts armed with ma chine guns, for the possession or de- struction of which all imaginable eX- pedients are employed. At certain points the listening post is within two

Then as they laughed and tested about the marching "kids," one man stopped suddenly, his eyes intently fixed on little group of three children marching together, one a sturdy little fellow of seven years' leading a little girl of four, while the other boy carried a banner high above his head on which were the words, "Yote Dry for Me" /
 We'll" said the man, "if there isn't ny George, and he's leading little Mary, and there's Johnnie carrying a banner. That beats mel" He stood watching the trudging, tired children until they came opposite to where he stood, then turning to his companions, said: +tf.

ONE DAYS DELIVERY OF CARS TO A7NlYIGAYGN
SAYS AUTO TAX
IS VERY UNFAIR
H. H. Franklin Points Out
That Motorists Pay For
Other Vehicles.

In the opinion Of H. H. Franklin.
president Of the Franklin Automobile
company. a general reform leading to
free public highways in this country
is bound to take place.
Mr.. Fraklin, who is understood to
have given considerable study to the
question. insists that it is radically
wrong in principle TO tax motor cars
for the maintenance of roads and at
the same time exempt horse drawn
and other vehicles.
rs it not unfair to tax one man for
travelling over a highway while an
other man is permitted to use the same
highway without charger he asks
81 am convinced that just as sure
as the ancient toll roads are disap-
pearing, and improved highways are
rapidly becoming more numerous in all
sections Of the United States, so, in
the course Of time, we will have free
public highways.
Automobiles will not be taxed for
highway maintenance while carriages
used without being subject to a similar
burden The roads will be free to all
This was the original and. in my
opinion, correct conception OF public
highways. They were built for the
use Of all the people
The way the new condition is to be
brought about probably viii vary in
different sections Of the country. In
some states highways are free today
taxed to maintain the roads while
owners Of all other types Of vehicles
can use them without being taxed.
The taxes collected as automobile
license fees in New York state during
1915 aggregated about 100000"

TOP UP SPOILS
HALF PLEASURE

when you see a motor car being
driven in fair summer weather with
the top raised, il is safe to conclude
that the occupants care very little for
the real beauties of the universe"
says II. T. Williams of the Pioneer
Motor company. Kisselkar agents.
THE sights distinctly worth seeing
as you speed through the open cOun-
try are in the horizon beyond or the
trees above. The sky, the shifting
clouds the dawn, the sunset, the moon.
the stars-all are obscured with the
top raised. So is bird life. the most
interesting of all nature studies.
except as q protection against STORM.
Even in city driving you miss. with
your top raised, the only thing that
makes one street look different than
anOther-the sky line"
