BRITISH WORRYING | 'FRONT LINE ENEMY * Minor Raids Maintains Morale in the Trenches _With the British Army in France, .via London, Feb. 15 (from a staff cor- Tespondent of the Assoclated Press)— The past thirty hours have witnessed thres British raids which are carried out daily and nightly with the object of making life unbearuble to the Ger- mans in the front line trenches. Two of the raids were conducted by the Ca- nadians, who really invented the prac- tice of trench raidine whirh has now spread throughout the British army. These raids, added to the steady prog- ress by the British on both sides of the Anmcre, are evidence that the cold- est weather of the war on this front has not stopped the constant worry- ing pressure hat the British seek to exert upon the Gemmans.

In this respect the British are very unlike the French in their methods of winter warfare. Gen- eral Haig's policy has been one of un- ceasing bombardment punctuated by dafly reids and minor attacks, tac- ties which have brought in a comstant stream of priseners and inflicted & heavy toll of casualties on the Ger- "The French on the other hand, prefer lving quiet in their trenches for iorg prrnods and then attacking sud- denly on 2 wide froat in a sharp, fierce combat. The British have not the same appreciation of the dramatic as the French, but ve gmplicity In the efficiency of the stesdy grinding down ~ precess which they are carryving out.
