NTERESTING NOTES OF FRENCH LIFE By French Reservist Landed For Bravery Near Ypres. [Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Paris, Feb. 19.—Georges Quinton, a reservist who was cited in the orders | of the day for holding out, alone of all hLis section, against the attack of November 12 near Ypres, sends some Yinteresting notes of trench life. He Writes: “Four days in the mud up to our knees when we stand up to fire; up to the armpits when we sit down to Test; as for lying down in it, that's not to be thought of. No “Parlor Trenches.” “Here at the rest depot we find the A Wlustrated papers with photographs | of ‘parlor trenches’ such as we haven't | had the luck to see. The real busi- | ness in hand is transacted in'a narrow | ditch, a yard and a half deep, with a | foot of mud, water or slush at the bot- tom of it, and a low bridge of earth | on the edge toward the Germans, who | batter it with their bullets and scat- ter it with their shells. ‘Back of the lines in the ‘cagnas’ as l". call the covered trenches, and at | est in the villages, life is dull and uinteresting—nothing to do but | grease boots, clean guns and chaff the | Taubes. No one seems to be sorry | when their turn in the trenches comes, Every man then is a bundle of nerves but that doesn’t prevent the traditional Gallic wit and effervescence from | showing itself. A German sentinel or an officer on observation becomes not wnly the target for our bullets but a butt of sarcasm. A pig dragged to | the front from a deserted village is attached to a cord and pushed over the bank of thetrench with a Prussian helmet on his head. The ‘boches’| gave us the trouble of sticking him and we drag him back where we can roast him and eat him at leisure. Unable to Catch Cold. # “I don’t know how to account for it. but with wet feet four days at a stretch I can’t eatch even a cold in the head, while in Paris I have an average of four cases of bronchitis every winter. Alongside me there's a fellow who weighed-in just outside the 200-pound limit—escaped being ex- empted by a few insignificant ounces. | ¢ used to spend a few thousand ancs every season to lose from five to 10 pounds at Vichy; he has already Jost twenty here and is as hard as pails; next year he says he'll buy a farm somewhere, dig trenches and save Vichy money.” 2 WAR CROSS J'OR BRAVERY. Paris, Feb. 19, (Correspondence of ™ the Associated Press).—A permanent recogrition of soldiers cited in the or- ders of the day is proposed in the form of a “croix de Guerre” (war cross) consisting of bronze cross bear- &l < ing the words *‘citation” and the date 14-1915." For each. additional ci- tation a bar bearing the word “cita- | tion” will be added. On the uniform ithe cross will pang from the green ribbon of the medal of 1870, but with the black bars, symbol of mourning for Alsace-Lorraine, suppressed.

Thé: shares in ques- tion were those of the Old Colony and Boston and Providence railroads, and the hoidings are a minority of the to- tal capitalization. Counsel for the company and Mr. Elliott both said that there was some legal doubt as to whether or not these particular shares could be hypothecated. After Mr. Elliott had explained the situation Senator Whiton of the com- | mittee, raised the point that the bill |as drawn gave broader powers than were requested by Mr. Elliott.
