DOYLE & HERZOG Charley Herzog and Larry Doyle are congratulating each other on the recent deal which brought Doyle from the Boston Braves to the Giants and Herzog from the Giants to the Braves. Both players have at one time been the captain of the Giants. Both are wintering in the sunny south and are looking forward to the opening of the season.

hundred miles. The mere repair and upkeep of the trenches for the firing line, and of dugouts, bomb proofs and underground galleries for the troops in support behind the third trench, will occupy a third of the total man power of the arrnj. A trench is literally molded upon and supported by the bodies of men and perpetually changing and growing like a live thing. It has to fit the bodies of the men who occupy it like the cell of the honeycomb does the working Lee. Roughly speaking, it can only be six inches deeper than the height of the tallest man in it, and about six inches wider than double the depth of his body from chest to back. Most first line trenches are dug just wide enough for the men to be able to glide past one another by turning sideways. They must fit the holding troops like a suit of clothes. If they are too shallow, obviously the heads of the men will be exposed to the horizontally flying fragments of shells which strike on the surface in front or behind them. If they are more than a foot above the heads of the men, there is danger when a bip shell crushes in the front wall burying them so deeply that they will be unable to dig their own way out. Their extraordinary and inconvenient narrowness is due to the stern mathematical fact that, whereas the only shells that can inflict serious and extensive damage on the men are those which fall directly in a trench, obviously a trench which is three feet wide is just twice as dangerous is one which is only eighteen inches and greater widths in proportions. Front trenches cannot be lined or strengthened to any considerable extent with stone or iron plates, or even wood or cement, for the reason that while men can work their way out or be dug out from under a foot or even two feet o' loose earth before they are smothered, it is a much more serious anü dangerous matter if the cae-in carries with it beams or stones or iron plates to trap and crush bodies and limbs; while in the case of stone and wood, the splinters which will be ent fixing by a shell-burst cavein may be almost as dangerous as the fragments of the shell itself. If the men are left entirely to themselves, they have a natural and pardonable tendency to burrow steadily deeper on ".-afety-first" principles, although thi.s again is considerably checked by the likelihood of trikin pround-water in most soils when you get below .i moderate depth. The champion performance in this line which was reported to me was that of a canny and elderly French regiment, which had held trenches m a firm, well-drained eoiI for many months, and had gradually, perhaps almost unconsciously, lowered them to the luxurious depth of eleven feet so that they had to use llights of steps to get up on to the fire-.-helf. But this was an eccentricity, and the bitter experience of years of comfort and sense of security,' like too deep and elaborate dugout anil underground chambers, have proved more dangerous a? traps for the burying and suffocating of whole bodies of troops, or for their capture as prisoners, than they have helpful in protecting against shellfire. In short, human bodies holding and moving about in shallow runways in the soft surface of mother earth have proved the only real fortifications in modern war, the only barrier which can defy the terror and check the advance of the hugest guns and the highest explosives: so that the term spent in the front line trenches is not just simply a period of vigilance, hardship and passive exposure to danger, hut one of almost incessant repair, construction and extension, and unending activity. No trench left to itself would last 4S hours under modern shell-fire.

The same is true even in a higher degree of the much longer period spent in reserve and rest camps behind the lines. On account of the extraordinary ranre of modern big guns and the tremendous part play-

.- i tt i u : Vi

. --'.. ed by bomb-dropping airplanes, the destruction which is being incessantly wrought upon camps, barracks, shelters and villages, railheads, hospitals, roads and light railways by enemy fire is second only to that upon the front line trenches themselves. Added to the natural effects of the elements, incessant repair and reconstruction is constantly the order of the day; and to suppose that time hangs heavy upon the hands of the soldiers, even In reserve and rest camps, would be a great mistake. On the contrary, so active have become the demands of enthusiastic officers with a keen eye for repairs and improvements, especially since road-building and agriculture have been added to the regular military duties of an army, that the soul of Mr. Thomas Atkins has been seriously and resentfully disturbed. He left hie? happy home and came out to France to fight, not to plough fields and dig ditches and build roads and bridges and model barracks. I was actually told on one section of the front in Flanders that I visited that the men had sent a delegation to the general commanding, asking to be allowed to spend more time in the trenches and less in rest and reserve camps, where these irksome and degrading fatigue duties were demanded of them from morning to night; which 's interesting, both as showing what an active, busy life the modern soldier's has become, and second, how lightly the seasoned soldier holds the horrors of modern shellfire and the rack and agony of that terrible modern war strain which we hear so much talk about. Scarcely an aptitude or capacity of the human life can be imagined which cannot be giv?n full play and scope in the industrial democracy of modern war. Indeed, it would hardly be too much to say that the man who is just plain fighting man and nothing else is the exception and not the rule. Not only is there this wide range of opportunity for development, from the general, the doctor and the judge down to the cobbler, the tailor and the cook, but each one of these has its open and recognized line of promotion and advance to almost any degree of authority and usefulness. The leading positions in. say. the commissariat's department, in the army service corps, in the quarter-master's are as influential and honorable and as well paid as almost anything in the pure line itself. To become member of a great community of service, sinking individual and selfish interests in devotion to a common end. is in itself i a wonaeriuny broadening expe rience and a liberal education. Although organized for destructive instead of constructive purposes, the atmosphere that one becomes keenly conscious of in the great military democracy of the front is one almost Utopian in its justice, its fairness, and its eagerness for mutual helpfulness and service. KING GEORGE OFFERS 3 PALACES FOR ARMY USE LONDON, Ib. 17.. King George, the Daily News says, has offered three royal palaces 'for national use. They ar- Balmoral castle; for wounded soldiers, and Buckingham palace and Kensington palace, for public offices. The eovrmmer.t has not yet taken any action on the offer. Balmoral castle is near Perth, Scotland, and is the Scottish highland residence of the British royal family. Buckingham palace and !-:ir,ctnn palace are in I-ondon.
