ENJOYABLE WHEN SSFE IN TRENCH English Cavalry Subaltern Says Is Pleasant When Secure From Exploding Shells and to Watch Them Burst. London.— The following dashing ac count of life in the trenches was writ ten home by a cavalry subaltern: “A squadron was In the trenches five days and nights without being relieved. The shrapnel was coming about two shells a minute; you could not hear yourself speak. But we were well dug In and only got hit when a shell burst absolutely in the trench. The Germans don't use their Infantry most days; they are getting tired, of that attack iH massed batallions. It is all the fun. I’ve never felt so well or so happy or enjoyed anything so much, and so does everybody. The fighting excitement vitalizes every thing, every sight and word.and action and one loves one's fellowman so much mpre when bent on killing him. Exercising. And picniclng in the open air, day and night (you never see a roof now) is the only real method of existence. There is loads of straw to bed down on, and every one sleeps like a log, in turn, even with shrapnel bursting within fifty yards and a din-like nothing on earth. “The .Johnsons’’ one gets to love as old friends; you hear them coming for miles, and every one imitates the noise; they burst with a plump and make a great hole in the ground, do .lng no damage unle«e they fall into your trench or on to your hat. One landed within ten yards of me the other day and knocked me over and my horse, we both got up and looked at each other. It didn’t even knock the cigarette out of my mouth. had orders to rally some men the other day and take up posi tion. He said, “Right you are, gen eral,” and to the men, all of different regiments, “follow me, you men.” When he got to the crest and looked round he found one Scotchman be hind him. They waited for some time discussing together their chances of escape. Suddenly the Germans came In sight, and the man said quietly, "That changes my doot.to a certainty I —we're doon foor.” We took a German officer and some men prisoners in a wood today. One felt hatred for them, after our dead, and as the officer came* by me, I scowled at him and the men were cursing at them. The officer looked me in the face and saluted as he pass ed, and I have never seen a man look so proud and resolute and smart and confident In his hour of bitterness. It did make one feel terribly ashamed of oneself.

Behind the Masses of Suspicion and Rumor There’s Enough of Activity Discovered Among the Germans to Keep English Public in State of Uneasiness. London. —The lives of those official ly designated as “alien enemies” in England are not cheerful these days, although they are not in any danger of insults or violence. The only out break against them was the recent rioting in the suburbs of London when several German shops were smashed. The rioters received a lesson likely to upt a damper on future outbreaks. The ringleader was sentenced to one year in prison, tv. o supporters to six months and 18 others were released on bonds under conditions that they fulfill their fervently expressed ambi tion to enlist in Kitchener's army. Active or Possible Spies, Hostilllty against Germans has been caused principally by the popular be lief, that all of them are active or pos sible spies The most recent cam paign in the newspapers has been against the influencial and wealthy Germans who play a powerful part in British financial life. Naturalized Germans, as well as those those who retain the allegiance of their birth, are included in the general cloud of suspicion. There are several German-born members of Parliament, and by an understanding among themselves they are remaining away from Westmis ster during the war sessions. None of them has yet resigned. A few days agitation to have all the Germans and Austrians confined in concentra tion camps, and a general round-up was under way. Two causes nipped this movement in the bud. One was prompt relations in Germany, where all English residents were gathered in by the police and the other was the difficulty of finding accommoda tion for the great number of foreign ers who were eligible for the concen tration camps. Sharply Divided. Spies are sharply divided into two classes by British opinion. For the German naval reserve, Lieut. Carl Hans Lodv, who was shot in the Tow er of London, the papers have had nothing unkind to say. For a. natur alized barber named Ernest who was sentenced to seven years imprison ment, there has been much exerera ttion. The judge who sentenced Ernst called him a “contemptible creature” and said that he would have been willing to betray Germany as he was England, if paid for his work. Ernst acted merely as a go-be tween in forwarding letters for the chief of the German-British Espion age System, named Steinaeur, and his wages were only 30 shillings a month. Scotland Yard detectives have been shadowing Steinaeur for two years. They intercepted and read his letters and permitted those to go on which contained harmless in formation and misleading informa tion. Public opinion places in entire ly different classes the spies who do their work in time of war and take SATURDAY, DECEIVER 5. chances, and those who follow the business in time of peace, professing friendship for the country and mak ing their living in it. Popular Belief. None of the possible but improv able things has taken so firm a hold on popular belief except the passage of Russian hosts from Scotland to France as the wonderful doings of German spies. The authorities are inundated with revelations and clues. The whole east of Fngland is swarm ing with men who send flashlight signals to German ships at night, if /he stories of the newspapers in coast cities are correct. One lias sent the authorities a moil detailed account of the code mes sages transmitted by red and whit* lights from the neighborhood of his home but the police have never been able to see -these signals with the same eyes as the discoverer. Ger mans have made execavations, have laid concrete foundations for heavy guns at strategical points and have built cunningly concealed roads from, landing bases, according to some of the most strongly urged clues. Public Uneasiness. Behind the masses of suspicion and rumor there Is enough activity It" the Germans discovered from time ,vo time to keep the public in a state of uneasiness. The suspicion that the Germans have a base for submarines, a supply station for aeroplanes and wireless apparatus in remote parts of the Scottish coast may be founded on fact. The activities of the German navy far from its own coasts which have enabled it to scatter mines off the north of Ireland and to sink the super-dreadnauglit Audacious by mine or submarine, furnish ground for that teory. The government has given it sufficient belief to circulate placards in Scotland offering a reward of five hundred dollars for the discovery of any base for hostile supplies of pe trol or hostile wireless.
