When coming back from the line, they laugh, sing and play musi- cal instruments, according to their temperament. “The only trouble we have with our men comes on warm, sunshiny days,” an officer said to me. ‘“‘They want to know why they can’t attack, since all winter they have been prom- ised action when the spring sunshine comes.” Peace Long Ways Off. officers and men speak of peace as a long way off, unless unex- pected developments bring a sudden end to hostilities. But I saw no man who had the slightest doubt of an ultimate victory. “Nobody believed last summer thet the French soldier would be able to fight this sort of war,” a French offi- cer admitted. ‘“He is running con- trary to all form and has broken-all precedent. Nobody believed the Frenchman possessed sufficient pa- tience to remain in the trenches all winter. In short, France has won |a moral victory over herself, which agsures vietory over the enemy. The soldiers in the trenches actually are scolding their relatives at home for daring to become impatient. It is my duty to read soldiers’ correspondence. You have my word of honor that out of 1,135 letters just submitted to me, every one was most cheerful.” In Fine Condition.

The National and American leagues’ premier is scheduled tomor- row and in metropolises of the east and west the rush for the coveted i rasteboards is on today. In the American league, at Phila- delphia, Washington, St. Louis and Detroit the curtain-raisers will be held. To avoid conflicts under the “gentlemen’s agreement” against competition, the National league will open at Boston, New York, Cin- cinnati and Chicago. For one day at least the Feds will step into the baseball background while their rivals hold the center of the stage for their 1915 premier. ¥ From all parts of the big leagues’ circuit today come pennant prosog- nostications of the managers and an- nouncements of opening batteries Anyway, today rings down the cur-| From what I saw on this and pre- tain on the “Stove Teague.” vious visits T am able to state that h B the French army was never in finer | GERMAN STILL condition physically and morally.

Their hair was composed of serpents, thelr bodies covered: with scales and girdled with reptiles.with heads erect, vibrating ' their tongues threateningly, while the hinds of the Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons, were of brass.
