Maj. Beth enunciate these express

Now that I think of It, the most
delightful sight to my eyes during
the war was the Tommie's wash
hung out on the German barbed wire

the famous Hindenburg line," re-
marked the major.
That was some line. wasn't it?"
I said.

litely.
II mean" said. that the so-called
Hindenburg line was tremendously
strong, and a real achievement Of
military engineering"
'Oh, yes," said the major with per-
feet comprehension. Beneath the
trench proper we found n thirty-foot
gallery lined entirely with wood. 1t
Is said that the gallery was the work

were forced to do the work ] hope

success has been due to their COM

the Executive Mansion. Then just
exactly forty years before, on Janu-

to women was first presented to Con-

He's a honest-to-goodness, dyed

ish stamina and scrapping ability,
with England's Service Cross on the
breast of his uniform. Also, he's
an author with several high-caliber
war books to his credit.
Before the war, Ian Hay Beth
was a 1eftenant" in the British
Reserves. Six months after the
war-break he was jumped to a cap
taincy. Later a majors commission
was bestowed upon him after the
three days of continuous fighting
at Loos when England's "Old Con-

tide of Prussia.
Naturally, when / went to see
Maj. Eeith I expected to see an i'm
posing looking person. And 1 did.
Right Out of KIpIing.
In appearance Maj. Beth is a sort
of incarnation of the usually
magined representative of English
military power. He might have
stepped out o fthe pages of one of
Kipling's soldier stories. The
writer does not show at all. Tall
he is. and tanned, and straight as
the barrel of a rifle, with cold blue
gray eyes and a formal, sort of
tooth-brushy blonde moustache.
Occasionally he smiles, rather
naively, and certainly very delight
fully.
I suggested that he Just go

phases OF the war that he deemed

to a civilian in the appearance of a
modern battlefield would be the ap-
parent absence of human life. If
any reckless individual stuck his
head up over the top of a trench in
the daytime, all he would see would
be an endless stretch of shell-pit-

thousands of men near him, but all

that pinnacle" The major grinned
when he said 1t.
There isn't really so much excite

tematic Prussian mind does every
thing so precisely that one can usu-
ally determine approximately where
they will put their next she'll"
This machine-like mental process
on the part Of the enemy must be
rather a pleasant trait" I observed.
'Yes-their only one," said the ma

"our men don't seem to bear a
special hatred toward the Germans,
as Germans" he said. They seem
to regard the enemy as a sort of
abstract proposition which must be
disproven. But once a regiment
comes across some piece of incredi-

agony of sheol itself, than that regi-
