Newspapers Published in Trenches By French Soldiers.

The European war is not without its pleasures at the front and a number of newspapers are published in the trenches by the soldiers, among whom are many able newspapermen and cartoonists. An article from Paris tells of the collection of these publications in the libraries and they show a great cheerfulness and patriotism and a determination to make the most of their hardships. One paper *is called “Le Diable au Cor, which is the English for “The Devil of a Fellow.” Raymond Poincare, president of France, was a former officer in the Alpine Chasseurs, the outfit for which the paper is printed, and the soldiers are devoted to him. A letter he sent to them was published in a recent issue. There are many other publications, generally bearing some name suitable for a battle front newspaper.
