NORTHERN FRANCE, June 5‘—l
(Correspondence of , The Associated
Press.)—-With no little display or pride
in the accomplishment of his “boys"
the Colonel of a Bavarian regiment=
recently made the rounds of some five
kilometers of trenches in this region
with an Associated Press correspond-.
out. He was intent on showing two
things—first that life at the front isl
not without is compensation and 599- ,

expect to have a difficult time in driv-
ing them out of their comfortable
quarters. {5' ;
kit is certain that the trenches which
be exhibited have not their equal on
any of the many fighting fronts. Ev
cry conceivable “comfort of ."home
that is available for a trench has been
supplied—from shaving mirrors to 4
post beds. These trenches may in w in !
tcr time have been the mires of mud?
and water that have been described]
but it seems hard to believe when one
sees the even, sloping brick pave~
ruents, with drains at regular inter-;
vals, and the numerous sanitary ar—j
rangeinents that have been installed.
Almost a mile back of the real firing
line the way dipped into a “laufgrabl
811' or connecting trench—a narrowfl
winding slit in the ground almost sev-l
on feet deep and perhaps three feet
w.lde The soil in that part of France
is of clay, in which the deep extram-
tions had been made with difficulty
but which never caves in. The walls
were as smooth as planed pine board.
At intervals along the route little.
steps had been chiseled in the clay?
enabling one to climb up and get a;
view of the whole landscape, lnclud-‘
ing the French trenches hundreds of
yards away. Litle lines of brown col~
ored dirt were the only indications
that the whole gigantic field was rut‘
ted and cut by trenches that later ap:
peared to be interminable.
After a walk of 15 or 20 minutes thel
rcal trenches. those at the \ery front,
were reached and one began to see ati

and the comforts of home combinedl

The fighting trenches differ from
the connecting runway only in that
they are w,ider and are reinforced in
front with bags of sand or plates of
steel through openings in which the.
soldiers can use their telescopes with-
out being seen.
Built into the clay walls were lit~3
tie wooden compartments filled with
bullets, and along side of the bullets
were little ingeniously-fashioned flow-
er pots filled with spring blossoms.
These flowers, together with any quan-
tity of other decorations were a fea-
ture of almost every yard of the
trenches.
To the rear of the frenchs, far on i
derground, and sometimes under the}
front walls, are the so- called “Unlcr'
stands" or shelters, where the sold .
lers live when not on duty. The ap-
proach to those in the rear is usual
ly by a conenctig trench varying from
10 to 30 yards inlength. and almost
ihvarlably. decohfodp with: flowers.
The interiors are; under the circum

for the most part with lg four post-
er beds. Many have cl 3 and carp-
eta on the floors, and nearly all have

men The following example is given:
‘One of the practices of piece work-
ers is to drag out an operation for
which they are getting what thought
is too low a price until it takes twice
or thrice as long as necessary. They
ask for a higher price on the strength
of this, and when they have got the
price up to the point they consider
sufficient they turn to undugct the
work done in a fraction of the prev-
ious time in order to earn the money.
“Such proceedings in ordinary times
are part of the standing struggle be
tween employers and employed. But
in war time the result is more seri-
ous and develops into disloyalty to
the state and a danger to the com-
munity.
"Nor is that all. These men not only
will not work themselves but they will
not allow others to work. The restric-
tions with regard to unskilled labor
are maintained in some of .the shops
with unabated rigidity. and the effect
is most seriously felt in the ammuni-
