Hares and Rabbits Crossing Fire-
Swept Meadows Are Game for
Both Sides and Spoils Are Di
vided According to Rule.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 25. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) When a
battle is not in progress the best of
feeling appears to exist between the
French and German soldiers who for
two months have faced one another on
the long line between Nieuport and
Belfort.
So close are the camps to each other
that it is possible for the two forces to
exchange words. They Indulge in good-
natured contests such as shooting at
spade targets, with no intention of hit
ting anyone, and compete for hares
which run between the lines.
Target Painted on Spade.
A French Soldier writes of these
amusements:. -'Tat
"A target igieainted on a spade and
moved through our trench in such a
way that it shows about two feet above
the ground. The Germans shoot at it.
With a stick we indicate the results
of their fire, and when one hits the
bullseye he is rewarded with the wav
ing of a French flag.
There is another sort of target prac
tice which is popular. The region
around us is full of cabbage fields and
the cabbage fields are full of hares and
rabbits. These hares sometimescross
our own private meadow. Immediately
both trenches are all aflame. Long-
sounding volleys follow the poor little
beast. He makes a graceful somer
sault, throws his ears up in the air and
falls a martyr to Europe's militarism.
Spoils Divided by Rule.
'Then comes the time to divide our
spoils. If Brer Rabbit expires on the
German half the custom of the country
prescribes that a German may leave the
trenches and get the prize. That day
the German cavedwellers eat 'hasen
b rat en." If the animal dies on our side
we delegate a man to fetch him and we
eat 'lievre farci.' But If he should die
most inconsiderately right on the line,
then there is trouble. We both rush
for our meal, while a terrific fire is
opened and we run the risk of being
killed by friend as well as by enemy.
"The other day we did not know on
which side of the line a hare had died.
We looked out of our trenches and the
Germans fired. The Germans peeped
around the corner and we fired.
X Hare Exchaaged lor Tobacco.
"Finally, a court of arbitration took
the matter in hand. A loud German
voice called out 'tobacco.' We thought
that the proposal was fair. One of our
men showed the Germans three pack
ages of cigarettes. Then he climbed
out of the trench and walked to the
dead hare. He deposited his cigarettes
and took the hare. Then he returned.
A German came and took the tobacco.
Five minutes later the Germans were
smoking and we were preparing our
stew."
The camps frequently entertain each
other with singing. Perhaps a few
moments later the efforts of both sides
will turn to whistling bullets about
one another's heads.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Dec. IS.
Without flowers, drapery or pageantry,
the body of Joseph Smith, president of
the -Reorganized Church of Latter Day
Saints, who died Thursday, was buried
here today.
In accordance with the directions
given by the patriarch on his deathbed,
the services were simple. A few of his
favorite hymns were sugn. Elder
Joseph LufC a lifelong friend, preached
the sermon.
The body lay In state in the local
temple throughout the daylight hours.
During the services a reverent throng
crowded the church and stood In the
snow outside to do homage to the mem
ory of the dead patriarch. It was a
spirit of quiet respect, rather than deep
grief, that manifested itself, for several
times on his deathbed President Smith
said he would rather go than stay.
"Don't try to keep me," he said. "I
have lived my allotted years."
Immediately after the services the
quorum of 12 apostles, the highest rul
ing body In the church, called a meet
ing for tomorrow morning to choose a
new spiritual leader. Several years ago
Joseph Smith announced a divine rev
elation that his son. Frederick M.
Smith, should be his successor. It Is
believed the voice of the prophecy will
be accepted.

The body was left to lie in state un

PARIS, Nov. 25. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Horse-drawn
cabs have returned to the streets with
the progress of the war, but the outfits
and their drivers are not as picturesque
as they were in their heyday before
tne motorcar came. The drivers are
quieter now. They no longer crack
their whips loudly, and they accept 5
cent gratuities with humble thanks.
All the younger taxicab drivers have
disappeared, having been called to take
their places in the army. Many of them
have been put Into the supply columns,
which perform much excellent and
sometimes dangerous service In bring
ing up munitions and food to the men
In the trenches. x Those taxicabs still
in the city are driven by the older men
and by amateur chauffeurs, who through
the dislocation of business in some pro
fessions have been thrown out of em
ployment. One may learn from the
chauffeur that In normal times he is a
baritone of some renown at a leading
opera-house, or maybe a teacher of
languages, or perhaps a professor of
fencing.
The Russian, - British. Belgian and
French national anthems form almost
the sole items in the repertory of the
itinerant singers who wander from
courtyard to courtyard of the Parisian
apartment-houses. Every window opens
when the group, generally composed of
a quartet, sometimes of quite passable
voices, starts its music, and sometimes
the occupants of the apartments, es
pecially in the working-class quarters,
join in the singing.
Other parties of musicians take their
stand on the corners of streets, where
they sing topical songs of the heroism
of the 'allied soldiers. The interest of
the populace in these ballads is enor
mous, for nearly every one of the by
standers has a brother, son. father or
other relative at the front, and all buy,
at the price of 2 cents, copies of the
words and often join in the refrain.
