THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 17, 1915. BRITISH TAKE WAR AS SPORTING EVENT Some Officers Proud of Their " Lack of Knowledge of Military Matters.' ATTITUDE AMAZES ALLIES Soldiers Wound Themselves to Win Retirement From Trenches and . STeral Are Executed for Practicing Subterfuge. AKMEXTIERES, France. Jan. 4. (Correspondence ot the Associated Frees.) One of the American am bulance workers who had been with the British in the neighborhood of this town for a month, says the attitude of the British soldier is utterly in comprehensible to the Frenchman who Is fighting beside hton. "To the French," he says, "the British seem to take the war as a sport, and talk of their losses like a score at cricket or football." " "I hear you lost two gun" the other day. I beard one young English cap tain say to another," he continued. - 'Tea. rotten luck,' was the reply, "but Cecil lost ten. you know.' "I hare even met officers who seem to tase prme in uieir m edge of military matters. I inquired of one sach how many guns there are In a battery. 1 really couldn't say, you know.' he answered. 'I am of the . Lancers.' He says tbe many oases of bad feet nave been due not so muoh to cold as to standing about in water, which causes the foot to swell. I first visited the trenches." he con tinues, "beyond Laventio, 15 kilometers south of Annentieres. Laventie, is now a mass of ruins, having been shelled by the Germans in the nrst week of De cember. The populace left in a mad rush, leaving bed olothes hanging out the windows and half-eaten meals on the tables. Far nearly a mile from the trenches there was hardly a sign of life. A few cows were wandering about, anxious to be milked. The fieldB contained many dead animals of all kinds, dogs, sheep, horses and even oats. Nearly every farmhouse was a wreck and the roads and the farm lands were marked by enormous shell boles. . "I remember seeing one grave or a soldier who was killed December 2. The name could not be deciphered, but I made out of a little tag that he be longed to the East Lancashiers. The crosses became more and more frequent; then we- came to abandoned trenches full of caps, canteens and the coats of men who had been hastily buried. Trench Is Conttanona. "Finally, we came to the mud-plastered fellows In the trenches, and for several weeks I have lived with them. There is an average of one man to each 10 feet of trench, and the nearest rein forcements are at La Gorgue and Es taire. The first day I walked about four miles along the trenches and be gan to realize the significance of a re mark I had previously heard, that a man could probably walk all the way from the -English Channel coast of France to Switzerland without showing bis head above the ground. "Anybody who is hit In the trenches nowadays Is usually hit in the head by a bullet coming through a loophole, and that means his death. During December in this part of the line there have been few wounded. Most of the hospital cases are the dreaded bad feet. When a man's kit is taken away, as it is when h8 is brought to the hospital, it Is pathetic to see what little souven irs they save out of them. In some instances It will be a photograph, or some old letters: one fellow who had a shoulder wound clutched a half loaf of bread, for which he had paid a franc, and he would not give It up. Soldiers Shoot Self. "A Major of the Medical Corps told me it was scandalous how many cases there are of men who had shot them selves through the hand in order to get out of the trenches. I personally saw some of these cases at Betbune among the Indian troops. I was told, though I do not know that it Is true, that sev eral men guilty of this had been taken out and shot in front of their fellows. On tho main road from Estalre to La Bassee we met a soldier whose hand was swathed in blood-stained bandages. He said his rifle had gone off acci dentally and the bullet had pierced his hand, but he was under arrest and es crfted by a companion with fixed bieyonet. "I waa in the trenches when news was received of the sinking of the Ger man ships off the Falklands. A mega phone was made of wrapping paper and the report shouted to the enemy, whose trenches were not over au yaras away. I am afraid it was net believed, even it the English was understood, for the night before the Germans had an nounced in similar fashion a great vic tory for their fleet in the North Sea. There is a fraternal spirit here that seems strange, more as If one were in a shooting-box. or as one officer ex plained it, behind tbe target at rifle practice." STELLA FORGIVEN AGAIN I'n'iatilla Indian Girl Must Stay on AVaterwagon or Go to Prison. PENDLKTOM. Or., Jan. IS. (Special.)

WINTER IN WAR-TORN EUROPE. j r - Ns, , few?;; xr v v u ) J I d ALLWESTFLANDERd SWEPT BY BIG GUNS Observation Party on Tour Shelled Out of Nieuport and Ramscapelle. . WHOLE TOWNS DESTROYED France and England Jointly Feed Belgian Army, Which Is Helping Defend Only Way Deft Open to Pas de Calais. FtTRNES, West Flanders, Dec. 22. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Yesterday was a day of furi ous activity along the entire Franco Belgian front from Nieuport to Dix mude, and through the courtesy of the King of ths Belgians the Associated Press correspondent with the Belgian army saw one of the sharpest battles between the' rival armies along the Yser since th'fe country between the two forces was inundated. The party was under constant artil lery fire, and before the morning end ed they were shelled out of Nieuport and Ramscapelle. When the bridge on the edge of Nieu port was reached a lively artillery duel had begun between the French bat teries situated 3ust south of the town and the German artillery beyond Lom baertzyde. Wounded Cannot Be Aided. Behind every wall offering the slightest cover squads of French Afri can troops took shelter. Many of them had been wounded, but the fire was so heavy that they could not venture to the rear for treatment In the direc tion of the coast shells from the bom barding warships oould be seen break ing in the air. while the big shells from the German baiteries nn overhead with a sound that could only be described as a wicked whine. When a momentary lull was noticed In the German fire no time was lost In Setting back to the car,DUt oeiore iu , be regained a six-inch shell from a. German howitzer Durst w.iuin yards of the party ana wim.n feet of the big gas tank which supplies the town. . . , The engine of the .motorcar nan . artA tiiA slowness of the chauf feur in starting It again was extremely exasperating. Once under way, every one felt safer, but shells continued to fly overhead and some fell just short of the road traveled by the car. Dnsoota Look Like Graves - Turning toward Ramscapelle, where , j ii "RAlirlnn are the aavanueu -rr-t " trenches, the party p" battery so cleverly concealed in a wood that the dugouts of the men looked like rows of freshly-made graves. The horses and guns were concealed be neath evergreen trees. Part of this grove had been leveled by German ar tillery fire, the trees looking as if they had been moweu .u j " scythe. One of the most striking feat ures of the battlefield and one entirely Incongruous with the work in hand was the sight of peasants plowing their fields as If war were hundreds of miles awav These farmers are apparently fearless for their own personal safety, but keenly concerned for their homes, many of which have been destroyed by Just on' tbe edge of Ramscapelle the party climbed to the top of a huge wooden windmill, which had been struck bv hundreds of shells. From this vantage point the party saw Ramscapelle. a town which has been n., tra-rA bv the German artil lery. Not a single structure in the place has escaped and many of the walls still left standing have hundreds of shrapnel shell holes in mem. Graves Opemed By Skells. - Out in the churchyard the graves i. . ... v..n torn onen and the coffins ex- nosed bv uloding shells. The figure ' , - ""-lit -. ; L from the cross In the graveyard here has slipped from the cross and lies at ItB foot. Proceeding through the town the party came to the advanced trenches along the railway, . which is the boundary of the flooded districts. Six hundred yards away, on high ground abutting into the water, is the advanced German post at the farm of St. Georges, which the allies were pre paring to attack while the party was irr Ramscapelle. In this district the water level is only two feet below the level of the ground and trench-making here has been a problem taxing the resources of the Flemish engineers with the Bel gian army, who are accustomed to working In these lowlands. The rail road serves as the base for the trenches and the mud walls are built up against it with embrasures for rifle fire made of squares of steel with a hole In the center for the muzzle of the guns. . ISIeuport Bombarded Furiously. Finding Pervyse. the other advanced Belgian post, inactive, the party re turned to Furnes, stopping occasionally to watch the bombardment of Nieu port, which was proceeding with great fury. In the clear Winter air the burst ing of the shells presented a mag nificent sight, while the roar of the Franco-Belgian batteries shook tne windows of the automobile. Long lines of jaded French soldiers of the Alpine corps were coming from the advanced French trenches for a rest, while thou sands of their African brothers in arms were marching in the opposite direc tion to reinforce Nieuport, which, with Dlxmude, forms the only possible gates to Pas de Calais, because of the flooded country between these two points, which makes infantry advance Im possible for either side. On the way to Furnes. at Wulpen, the party watched the ' unloading of the huge canal boats which bring -up the supplies for the forces in the trenches. From the banks of the canals It is loaded into wagons which deliver the food by night to the sol diers in the trenches. France and Eng land, acting jointly, are feeding the Belgian army, and as the canals make a network in this part of the country, this work is done without interfering with the usual military transport along the roads. Daylisht Venture Certain Death. The only part of the Franco-Belgian line between Nieuport and Dixmude un visited was the wing situated in Dix mude. It would be certain death for anyone to attempt to enter the trenches except at night, and the staff officers in the party expressed great amuse ment when they were told that certain papers had published accounts of visits by daylight to this line. Dixmude is held Jointly by the Germans and the Belgians, the invaders occupying one side of the Yser -and the Belgians in trenches 60 yards away on the opposite side. The Germans have the advantage of having ruined houses about their positions, while the Belgian trenches have a clear space in their rear. Just to remind the party mat tney were not out of danger, the Germane dropped five shells, one of which ex ploded over the railroad station in Furnes just as tne auiomoone reKmueu the town. These shells were fired from a heavy howitzer mounted on a motor car which was run up close to Dix mude and within easy reach of Furnes. By these motorcar guns and armored trains the Germans have placed almost every foot of West Flanders under artillery fire. MERINO EMBARGO RELAXED Britain Says Export Licenses Will Be Issued "Fairly Frequently." WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.
