Th- nickname, TlaswaerL-prs." by whih men of the Msnal corp..- are still known to ivili.ms, his lonj? sdnct- l.rrn discarded in th" army, which has s'itiMitutcd the title of "IMz?th." In the pitur !-ue days o yore th; signaller Ii! ( ho-"- some lofty tminer.ee. an. I th ro willed out his iiit'aijc with a :!ai; or whirled his achim: arm:-? through the graceful mow-merit of ma phore, hut those I.iy.s are no rnorc. The close proximity of the (itrman and the accuracy of the .nlp'Ts have made opportunities for these methods as rare an wit-k-end have, and th,- dj-n;ilbr iov has Iiis dwelling underground and workn in the dark after the la.sliiou of the mole. In-jHxtiou Tours. The MSiialler also has Iiis "heat." like a metropolitan policeman. IT must make periodical tours of inspection of th omp-lex .f wires under his jurisdiction, watchinjr to sc that nothing f--oes wronic with his slender lines of communication. In the trenches the wires run aloni? the sides of the- trench about 12 inches frrrn the bottom, just above hiqhwater mark, at which height they are omparatively safe from be-ins d racked out of place by the diverse 'pdpment that bans around the infantry soldier like toys on a Christinas tree. The number of wires that row up in an ordinary trench In the course f a few weeks is amazing. 'There are only nine lu re at pre.sent," remarked a signal corps officer apologetically, hut this is a new trench; wait till the cjunners open up a few observation posts tho place will look like a hen-run then." The nine wires laid after various !'t-urs to the "battalion headquarters wtKiial off.ee." This proved to be a roomy dus-out with wires en-tenii-It from every direction. A small f'aj; hunt: over the doorway. .Many Heron Is Made. The whole place is alive and busi-ness-llkt. Here a clerk is receiving mssapes for transmission; there another Is dispatching incoming nif ssaues to their addresses by runirs; in on corner a private is en-terin-up the signal register, in another a second is making notes in tli oitice "log." Alom; the far end runs a rouKh table with u row of men seated on ;i I.ench before it, white a droning sound lik the humming of hee tills the air around. This is where the Held telephone has its quarters -that famous little instrument on wlnvh. according to popular humorists, the gilded staff call up in the middle of a bombardment to inquire how many Jars of raspberry jam have been issued to a unit, or to demand a count of the Haptlsts in "A" company. Just as the third wave i? going over the- top.
