Ghastly Picture.

Five miles of slogEing along the old
German lines in the vicinity of Ba-
paume today revealed a picture Of
ghastliness which may never be seen
| again in this or any other war The
front lines was long. open. delapi-
peared in the mud at times, but could
be picked up further on by means Of
the bodies that marked the way. One
realized with a shudder how the men
been plagued by their own dead.
Such a ceremony as n decent burial
had been wholly out of the question
and there was no means of conveying
the bodies to the rear. It had been
like passing through a fiery rain from
hadies to bring up food and water to
the living. So, the dead had simply
been tossed out of the trenches. only
to be blown back again by an cxplod-
ing shell. Sometimes they came back
In Fragments for there were arms and
legs feet and hands everywhere.
1t has been an cuthrallinG thing to
| stand by the British guns in the la st
three or four months and wonder
what was the meaning of all their
| continuous roar. There was no set
battle in progress and the gunners
said it was merely the daily hate"
going on to keep Fritz unhappy. The
hideous revelations tf the German
trenches however. gives the grucsome
answer to what the guns were doing.
In some places there were ycritablc
mansled masses of what were once
human beings. Neither by day nor
by night had the Germans any rest.
Their trusted barbcd wire. in which
they always placed such great reliance
had been swept away over thousa nds
of yards, and they dared not venture
out to repair it.

ters In France, March oS.--Nia London
Now that the desperate episodes in
the war, known in history as the bat
ties of the Somme. have been definitely
ended by the German retreat from
Arras to the Aisnc it has been pos
siblc more lcisurcly to investigate the
conditions which existed along the
German front Just prior to the back
ward swing to the so-called linden
burg line.
When the retreat first began more
than a month ago. the British swept
over some old Somme positions held
by the Germans and even the hurried
glimpse Of the evacuated trenches in
dictated how untcnablc they had be-
come and why it was decided to run
no risks of another allied offensive in

Hotel Clerks.

Hotel Clerks.
Hotel clerks are young men gowncd
in the latest modes and employed to
make you i'll at ease. Hard beds or cold
food often have much to do with the
frightfulness of hotel life, but hotel
clerks have more. With no other aid
than a lond vest and highly polished
hair a hotel clerk can make a railroad
president trip up in his grammar. A
hotel clerk might be born and raised
in Council Bluffs-to the regret Of its
Chamber of ComUerce-but a hotel
clerk without a New York accent would
be more amazing than Saturday
night without a bath. Mothers. are your
little boys insolent beyond words and
fresh as all get out? Let them follow
their natural bent. Let them grow up
TO be hotel clerks.
