At one point of the line the trenebea were about thirty-tw- o yards apart This sounds horrible, but in fact It wu easy, because neither side could shell the enemy's front-lin- e trench for fear shells would drop Into their own. Thla eliminated artillery fire. In these trenches when up against the Prussians and Bavarians, Tommy had a hot time of It, but when the Saxons took over It was a picnic; they would yell across that they were Saxons and would not fire. Both side would sit on the parapet and carry oa a conversation. This generally consisted of Tommy telling them how muck he loved the kaiser, while the Saxons Informed Tommy that King George was friend, of theirs tod was he that hoped doing nlcefy. When the Saxons were to be relieved by Prussians or Bavarians, they would yell this information across No Mao'! Land and Tommy would Immediately tumble into his trench and keep hi head down.

S." as they are termed. In the American army the common name for them la dog robbers. From a Controversy In the English papers, Winston Churchill made the statement, as far as I can remember, that the officers servants In the British forces totaled nearly ' two hundred thousand. He claimed that this removed two hundred thousand excepd tionally good and fighters from the actual firing line, claiming that the officers, when selecting a man for servants duty, generally picked the man who had been out the longest and knew the ropes. ' ' But from my observation I find that a large percentage of the servants do go over, the top, but .behind the lines they very seldom engage In digging parties, fatigues, parades or drills. This work Is as necessary as actually engaging In an attack, therefore I think it would be safe to say that the allround work of the two hundred thou sand Is about equal to fifty thousand meu who are od straight military In numerous Instances, officers servants hold the rank of and they assume the same duties and authority of a butler, the one stripe giving him precedence over tho other servants.
