HE LIKES THE TRENCHES.
With the American Army in
France, Feb. 15.— (Correspondence
of The Associated Press)—Here’s
an incident that happened in a little
shell-spattered town in the rear of
our lines which shows how the aver
age American soldier feels about life
in the trenches. It was just at dusk.
A lone sentry was walking up and
down in front of an abandoned
church, upon the door of which was
a little printed sign conveying the in
formation that in the event of a gas
alarm the church bell should be hung
for a minute. It was the sentry’s
duty to pull at the bell ro’-'e, should
occasion arise.
He was plastered with mud from
head to foot. A substance not un
like red mortar was ground into his
putties. There was a dent in the
canteen swung at his waist, the top
of his shrapnel helmet bore red,
muddy stains; his face was covered
with a srrowth of about three days
of hair.
Failing to see a passing captain of
artillery, he did not salute. The cap
tain asked him a few pointed ques
tions, gave him a few pointed in
structions about saluting and passed
on.
“Good Lord,” remarked the sentry,
“I have been out of the trenches
days now and I am going back to
night perfectly happy. There used to
he a time when I thought a trench
was about the last place on earth to
spend a week or so. But I . have
changed my mind. There is that
office?; for instance. I ran into him
upon the line not long ago ahd he was
as nice as could be. Now because I
did nt see him I catch h-.
“Yes sir, give me the ti’enches ev
ery time. I like ’em. I would rather
be in a front line trench than any
other place I know of in France.
There is something doing there all
the time and a man is a man and
knows it.
“Next time we are relieved I think
[’ll ask if I can’t stay with the relief.
[ don’t want to come back here again
ind stand guard over the end of a
Dell rope where there is nothing go
n& on. Nearly every other man I
enow feels the same way about it.
rhey would pick the line every time.”

;nt. They will carry your business

GERMAN NEWSPAPER DIS
CUSSION.
New .York, March 8.—Disclosure
of the German governments termr of
veiled annexation of Russian pro
vinces and the threatened rupture of
negotiations with the Bolshcviki at
Brest-Litovsk furnished the princi
pal topic of editorial discussion in
German newspapers of the early part
of January, which have been received
here. The spirit which lead to the
subsequent strike in protest against
the government and the German dele
gates at Brest-Litovsk already was
evident, the socialists and labor lead
ers declaiming vehemently against
the attitude of the German negotia
tors as calculated to prolong the war
and pointing out the farcicality of
the pretended acceptance of the term
“Right of Self-Determination” as ap
plied to the border nationalities of
Russia when the Russian negotiators
were required to accept as binding
and as a preliminary to all negotia
tions, votes of separation from Rus
sia by German-made bodies whose
right to speak for popular will was
highly questionable and whose decis
ions were not known even in Ger
many.
As to the competence of corpora
tions of German landlords in the Bal
tic Provinces, whose resolutions fa
voring a German protectorate . fur
nished the excuse for German de
mands at Brest-Litovsk, o speak for
the people of the provinces, Hans
Vorst, the Berlin'Tageblatt’s Russian
expert, pointed out that these repre
sented only a small minority of the
population and that the great bulk
were Undoubtedly against separation
and in favor of entering a Russian
federative republic.
Chancellor Von Hertling’s avowal
in the Reichstag Main comittee that
Germany was standing in the nego
tiations at Brest-Litovsk upon its
“position of might” was criticised by
the socialists, who attempted to se
cure a reaffirmation of the Reich
stag’s peace resolution of July 19, in
an endeavor to pin the government
down to an actual basis of peace with
out annexations.
Prince Von Beulow, the stormy
petral of German politics, appeared
in Berlin January 5, at the height ol
the crisis over peace negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk, but found Count Vor
Hertling seated most firmly in the
chancellorship.
