RECORD PRICES AD FO RIZ BIRDS By William G. Sljcpherd.l Premyl. Nov. 1. (By couriir to VlerMjn, thence by mail to New York.) It Is the evening of Sunday. I went to church today. It was a wartime service rn a battlefield amid a aitter of trenches and rifle shelters. ' Two batteries of howitzers in the valley 300 yards distant boomed at intervals. Our own shells screeched hlh above the improvised altar and went their way of death. Imagine a chain of hills covering an erea the sire of the city of Chicago. You stand on the safe side of the hill nearest the Russian lines. Then you'll have the scene of the service. , You are near the top of the hill and have orders not to show your head above the rim. as the slightest naove rnent might give the Russian lookouts the range. Krom your hill you can s-e other hillsides. Across them come files of soldiers in gray narrow lines, mov ing over the elopes like gigantic ' ray worms. . , ' . Service for Sharpshooters. ' This is to be a service for- the Tyrolean sharpshooters, the Etghty eiKhtb. Austria-Hungarian regimejit. The men who are marching through the cold gray morning are straight ening trenches, where they have I lain for three weeks. The black earh is on their clothes, hands and faces. The altar is a small lean-to made of fresh pine boards. There Is a Christmassy air nbouj It, for it ,1s decorated with pine boughs, amidst which candles flicker with a pale, ghostly effect in the daylight. The priest - is waiting. He ts a short, bearded man, kindly-eyed land ruddy a pilot of men who at r any moment may take the short, ojuick Journey Into eternity. Big boots sand heavy overcoat appear under his white and gold vestments. He is bareheaded and the raw wind -stirs the hairs on his face and head. . Telephone for General. j. A' soldier comes along near the brow of the hill, stringing a wire on the ground behind him. He lays a small box and a telephone receiver on the ground near the altar. General Schonburg, the brigade commander, Is coming to church today and he must be, in touch with headquarters eviery moment. Lines of men pass through the gully and climb the hill. They range , themselves behind the first comers. Krom another part of the slope, a tall broad man, accompanied by a group of neatly dressed officers, ap pears and shakes hands with the priest. It is General Schonburg. By this time more than '1000 men are gathered 100 feet below the altar, They are given "at ease" and stand as much like it as is possible with a 60 pound puck on each back and a cold wind blowing. The priest turns to bis lean-to, faces the rude altar and kneels. The mass for soldiers, living and dead, is begun. At various Junctures, where the service requires that the worshipers kneel, too. and cross themselves, the men raise their hands' to their caps in salute. Their general kneels humbly on the earth and drosses himself with heavily gloved hands. "Letters From Home." Then the priest talks to the soldiers. Jits text is Leuers r rum nuina. in calls the men "my war companions "I know how imich It means to all of you," he said, "to get a letter from home. Tt is the letter from home that encourages us most. "I have for you all thin morning a letter from home from Heaven, our last and best home. This letter tells tis that when we reach there a welcome will be awaiting us such as we have never known before, such as even those whom, we love back in the Tyrol could not give to us. "In these times, we cannot tell who will be dead and who will be alive. "I pray you all to be ready and worthy for the welcome that heaven will give us." General Praiaaa His Men. . tThe battery at the hill's foot booms "out seven times, the shots coming in quick succession. A bell tinkles as the priest turns to the altar. The general steps forward to say a few words. He is eloquent In a rough, soldierly way. These Tyrolese live in the Alps. The Austro-Hun-garlans look on them much as we- In the United States look on the rough riders.. No weak sentimentality will please these elemental men and Gen-; eral Schonburg 'gives them non. He praises them for victories and urges them to revenege for defeats suffered. As the general concluded a decora tion was placed about his neck. He was raised from the rank of a briga dier to a division commander. Then he stepped to a bench on which lay a large collection of medals. An aide called out the names of some 50 men who came forward to receive re wards ior bravery. Decoration for Service. One young man with a splendidly strong yet gentle face received a gold decoration for running back into a ma- cinne gun fire to save his wounded captain. The iron cross went to a young artilleryman. Over the tele phone the order kept coming for his battery to fire. So for more than an hour, this lone artilleryman loaded and fired three guns singlehanded. The priest stood nearby Smiling be neignly. ' The men gave three "hocha" for the emperor. A bell tinkled again, while the priest lowed once more at the altar. The battery reared. Far, away, the Kussian guns eiiovea an answer. Dinner in a Dugout. In the valley below were huge patches of newly turned earth where the Kussian grenades, daily visitors, had left their mark. At last the service was concluded. The soldiers passed, down the hill trailed across the valley and their gray lints crawled up the elopes of other hills and sank from view over the crests. Church was out. We had Sunday, dinner in an off! cer's dugout, with an earth and tim ber roof, four feet thick, bove our heads.
