Night on Listening Post Is Eerle
Experience.
Small Groups of Men Get as Close to

All Night Just Listening

London.-An officer back from the
British front describes the listening
post as the most trying experience of
the war. Every evening little groups
Of men steal out between the oppos-
ing trench lines and squat quietly in
depression all night long, trying to
catch in their straining ears some
inkling of the enemy's doings.
Not until the night has well fallen
do the posts go out.
The object is to get as close to the
enemy's lines as possible without be-
ing defeated; and to be able to re-
main there as long as human beings

Once the precise spot is located, the
men who will form that particular
post that night are carefully tutored
in it's position by means of the invalu-
able periscope. They instruct them
selves in the various obstacles to be
encountered on the way, and commit
to memory every tussock and every
little obstacle that will afford them
cover as they creep out to take up
their places after nightfall. It is not
easy work to map out even a hun

scope. But since dear life depends on

The sensitiveness of the eye to red

to employ such light in surgical oper-
ations and in making radiograms Of

barium and the image is seen with a
distinctness far greater than when the
