WRITES SON STORY
OF REAL BATTLE
—
BRITISH ARMY OFFICER SENDS
LETTER TO HIS BOY
LONDON, Jan. 25.—The following
letter was written by a British
army officer in answer to a query
made by his nine year old son:
“My Dear Brian: You would like
to know what a real battle line is
like. In the distance you see a
hill and on the right some woods.
Some farm houses, one or two in
tact, and others mere heaps of
brick, lie dotted about. Near you
on the right is a battery hidden
under bushes and earthworks. Near
er you still are the dugouts in which
men live underground.
“In the distance is a German an
chored balloon, watching the coun
try. On the right and overhead
is an aeroplane.
“Beyond the hill and the woods
are the trenches in which the in
fantry face the German infantry, also
| in trenches. Some" where near
i the trenches, and where he can see
| them well and the country on the j
Aerman side are the military obser- i
vation officers, who telephone dir- I
ections to the batteries and direct !
heir fire where they want. All :
this is done very accurately on a j
special system called registration,
by which, having once hit a target I
you can always go on hitting it j
or anything near it.
SHELL ZIPS THRU AIR
‘For instance, yesterday, when I
was directing the battery at one of
these places, a German put up a
tin on a pole and waved it about
in the air in his trench. I saw
this and told one gun what angle
to lay and the range, and the next
moment the shell arrived and the
tin went up in the air. What hap
pened in the trench I don’t know,
but the shell burst init. One
burst in ours this morning and kil
led one man and wounded two oth
ers. So they can do damage.
"Hidden all along the trenches
are machine guns, which fire flank
wise and are very destructive. Then
come the artillery, and behind them
again the big guns—the very big
ones of which drop a shell a tre
mendous distance and blow blocks
of houses to bits.
- battle starts with a terrific
rtillery bombardment, some times
for days, and when the enemy’s
trenches are absolutely destroyed
and their men dazed with the lain
of high explosives and gass and
bombs, the infantry charges across.
“Sometimes the machine guns
have not been knocked out and they
take a big toll of life, and always
there are plenty of men whom the
bombardment fails to knock out.
“There is never a soul to be seen.
There is only a terrible roar of
guns and explosions, the perpetual
snapping of rifles and rattle of
machine guns. There is a view
of broken walls, • trees without
leaves or branches, and trenches
everywhere
“Some men near me the other
day put up a dummy on the parapet
and before you could say Jack Rob
inson two shells and heaven know’s
how many bullets had been fired
at it. Men are always being kil
led .1 yet they will put up their
head and look over the parapet
ins:.e-:\d of using a periscope.
“It is all very destructive, very
costly and very useless, war, but
it brings out all that is best in men.
No doubt it is for a good purpose
which we do not realize at present,
when w’e only see the ruin and
killing and waste.
“Sometimes the world wants
cleaning, like the pistons of a motor
to make it run smoothly, and this
is the way it comes about. You
boys later on will reap the benefit
of it all.”

“SEVEN HEADS” GIFT
OF RUSSIAN CZAR
RULER TAKES UNIQUE WAY
OF PROVING IDENTITY-”"""
PEfROGRAD, Jan. 25.—During
the Russian Czar’s recent journey
| to the front near Minsk the soldiers
generally refused to believe that
i their visitor w’as really the Em
j peror, for he wore an ordinary pri
vates overcoat, without decorations
ot any sort, and the only precau
tions taken were those usually
taken by astaff or inspection of
ficer when his werk takes him to
the trenches. A correspondent of
the Exchange Telegraph company
writes from Minsk:
“On one occasion the Emperor
went into the advanced trenches at
a time flrhen considerable infantry
fire was going on. He seemed to
enjoy the sensation of being under
fire.
His majesty spoke to a veteran
from the Oral provinces and asked
him how qjany fights he had seen.
“ ‘Seven,’ was the answer. The
soldier had fought at Port Arthur
and in the present war took part
in the battles of Lodz and Gorlice.
“ ‘How many children havo you?”
asked the Emperor.
“ ‘Seven, Captain,” said the sol
dier, still refusing to believe that
it was the Emperor.
“ ‘And how many wounds?”
“ ‘Seven also.’ ”
“ ‘Then you shall have seven
heads.’ said the visitor.
“This was a reference to an old
Russian proverb which say that a
sergeant has seven heads. It meant
that the soldier was promotd to the
rank of asergeant.”
