GERMAN OFFICER OBJECTS
 TO SHOT IN THE LEG

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2S-A story of the fraternizng of the German and Russian troops along the east front is told by a Swedish journalist. The usual daily visits were going on. he says, and all was peaceful when the Russian soldiers suddenly began firing furiously from one section of the trenches. A German officer ran over and called out, What do you mean by shooting with ball cart ridges?"
 A Russian officer explained apolo- getically that their colonel had just made tour of the trenches, but that he would be going away in a minute and peace would once more be re- stored.
 When the press correspondent was at the front German major told how one of his officers was shot through the leg while walking in front of the trenches at time when by the GUS tom of that period, neither side was supposed to fire. He made indignant representations about it later to the Russians and was told that party of high officers had visited the trenches and the soldiers had to shoot.
 But even at that they could just as well have shot high" said the ma jOr.
