Several hours were spent In tho trenches in a picturesque old town, where German riflemen and French ieglonaira play lrrlm practical Jokes of war upon each other from frosl tions a scant 20) yards apart. Men, horses, supplies and hospitals were housed In hillside caverns, formerly stone quarries absolutely protected from even the most powerful shell fire. Blackened by Fire. The morning was passed In an ar tillery observation stand oposlte rthelms whore a powerful telescope through which the fire of the artillery is directed, brought the observer within a hundred yards of the city and the cathedral and enabled him to see that the cathedral and Its towers were standing fairly Intact, although blackened by fire. Inspection was made of a labyrinth of field fortifications approaches along the Alsne at ItH nearest Joint to Paris, where the lines are normally two or three hundred yards apart. The sol diers, even In the foremoßt trenches were living In comparative comfort. In Good Spirits. They are vedl supplied with blan kets. food, water and clothing and are In good spirits. Desultory Infantry fire always is in progress here and occasionally the rattle of machine guns break out. The artillery on both sides has thrown tons of Iron dally but there have been no great fights oJ late herj abouts. Of all the Impressions of the trip one of the most striking is that left by the countless stacks of unthresh ed grain stretching for miles In every direction throughout tills granury of northern France.

The normal soldier at tho front does not sinß: as much as formerly, partly perhaps because he tuis sung himself out and partly because singing in the Immediate vicinity of the enemy is apt to draw fire, hut lie Is neither dis couraged nor exhausted. There is no Indication that his nerves are breaking under the strain. Health conditions are remarkably good, the surgeons state. There has been much typhoid, hut this now is well in hand owing to the vigorous use of the anti-typhoid serum. The medical department Is cleaning out three villages in the Immediate vi cinity of headquarters which were found to be typhoid centers. Tho sur geons are isolating or vaccinating the inhabitants of suspected villages. Winter Crops. The Germans evidently are prepar ing for an extended occupation. The French peasants under the supervision and to a certain extent the mild com pulsion of the Germans, have planted winter crops nnd are working in the fields. Important bridges destroyed are everywhere being permanently re built with steel from Germany. The roads are being maintained as usual by French labor and In some cases iactortes are being re-opened.

Miss rMckford Is presented in this tragic epic by Mr. I'anlel Frohmau anil takes n distinctly new role from any In which she hns been seen here before.
