In another place a mile of ground sep.

point, however, there are a number Of

The. American trenches are all in

the use of "duck-boards" necessary al
all times except when the trench wat

were shallow when the Americans
moved in, but since then they have
been deepened and improved.
In every dugout the soldiers work
almost constantly at the pumps keep
ing out the water which seeps in. But
the watery conditions are unfavora-
BILE for french rate and few of them
are seen.
In some places the artillery is on
ground but little higher than the
trenches, although a number of our
batteries manage to keep "dry feet
most of the time. The enemy artil-
lery in some places is on higher
ground than the American and with

shelled repeatedly and doubtless has

Rockets Light Scene.
Far away to one side Of the posi-
zion a white stream shoots up to the
sky and breaks into white balls that
throw a light as if from powerful ell
ectric batteries.
The reflections show wire entangle-
ments and scrubDy bushes on the hills
nearby, and chen the lights die out.
And the while there is the intermit-
tent roa Of guns and a whistle as of
express trains as ~projectiles Of differ
ent calibres go rushing over the Am
erican trenches seeking German tar
gets. The American soldiers have be-
come 30 accustomed to such sounds
that now they apparently pay no at
tention to them. Every now and then
the sound Of a shell explosion is audi
BILE, but most of the time the artillery
target at night are too far away from
the trenches for the men to hear the
projectiles explode.
Every man in the line at all times
has HOS eyes open for two kinds Of
colored rockets. One is green and the
other red. The first means asphyx-
iating gas and the other calls for a
barrage. And the green light to the
mel in the line means more than any
thing else for in a gas attack they
know their lives often depend upon the
speed in which the gas masks are adj
justed after an alarm is given.
Internationally during the night
comes from different parts of the line
the single crack Of a rifle. as a sniper
fires, or the rapid SPIT Of a machine
gun at some suspected point or OBJ
ject, for the machine gunners shoot
first and ask questions afterward.
Thrilling Air Fights.
During the last few days there has
been no aerial activity because of the
fog but during che clear days proceed
ing the bad weather the men in the
line witnessed many thrilling fights in
the air. German airoplanes, coming
over at a considerable height on OBJ
servation trips would be shelled Wig
orously as they came within range
Usually they fly in groups Of three,
but they separate when the sharpenel
puffs begin to break around them.
On at least one occasion the men
have seen a German machine come
down. 1t fell within the German line
and cheers and yells rose from one
end of the line to the other.
Today the whole American position
is bathed in white. Fog has frozen to
frees, bushes, poles, wires and the
ground, in some places the ice coating
is nearly an inch. thick.
