"The game Of batting the other fell

an officer who was telling some friends
about the tricks which men play on
one another in trench warfare.
"'Don't fool with the enemies evac-

on the western front, according 70 this
officer, chiefly because the German sol

work harm to the enemy. On certain
occasions German soldiers have fcigncd
