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

But il is wonderful thing, that
strip we call No Mans Land, running
from the North sea to Switzerland
800 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 IT.
To show yourself means death. But
I have heard a lark trilling over 1t in
the early morning as sweetly as any
bird ever sung over an Engllsh
meadow. A lane of death 800 miles
long. strewn from end to end with
the remains of soldiers. And to either
side of it all through those 500 miles,
n warren of trenches, dugouts, saps,
tunnels, underground passages. inhab-
tied, not by rabbits, but by millions
of rats. it is true, and millions of hiv-
ing, busy men, with countless billions
of rounds of death-dealing ammuni-
ton, and a complex organization as
closely ordered and complete as the
