With the British Army in Northern
France. April 17. (By "mail to JMew
York) Spring has" come. ' The com
- plexton of war is changing.
'. The flying men come down with the
' -mw that yery day the grass is get
'ting greener in the Noman'n Land be
tween the trenches; no one dares to go
rt there toj tramp, it down.
Trees that were landmarks with
their bare branches fn the winter time
are changing shape as their buds be-
', t-ome leaves ;and the offices find them-
Helves daily) becoming more and-more
strangers to the landscape. .
i Plowing ijn France has apparently
been as extensive as ever before. In
flue fields old men and boys plow while
- women do I the sowing. Unplowed
fields are rarely seen. Plowing -and
planting is jgoing on up to within a
mile of theiBritlsh trenches, and the
- French farms are scenes of agricultural
activity three and four miles within
, ., the zone of fshellf Ire.,
.; ' Cultivated Ziand Is Protected.
Around the English headquarters all
of the soil
is in crop, and General
French has arranged that none of his
, army shall encroach in any way on
farm land, except under the most ur-
gent necessity. To trample plowed
land is n offense which must be ex
plained at- tljie 'English headquarters to
tiie eatisfatclion of the commander-in-chief.
The jcavalry, including the In-
i dians, find a .small piece of meadow
( here and there on which they exercise
. , their horses,! but the Ftrench farmer is
to be paid for any damage that may
be done to his crop off, hay
There is.no place within many nUlV; aVrenbuVh .TE tfc.
: of headquarter? where space can be
found- for Collecting large forces of
men ; f or ' review purposes. General
. French receiitly, reviewing .part of the
force j which had participated in the
battle of Neuve Chapelle, traveled to
- several different spots within a radius
' ot a dozen lilies, where the men were
drawn up jln comparatively small
bodies. . I
"' can rUe around and meet them,"
he said, "l'i rather doi that than spoil
' a- wheat crojpi on some big farm."
tlni: the vicinity of headquarters It
looks as If agriculture was crowding
the army out of the neighborhood. It
Is only when one approaches the lines
that , the arifry begins j to get the up-
pernand in tne eunous contact ttetween
the aged French farmer and the rlfle
toearing English soldier
- XTeuve ChapeUe Is Blows to Pieces.
The road to Neuve j Chapelle, Kng-
, land's newest possession, is sunken; It's
the road of the trenches.
As soon as you enter the trench-
dom of the British army before Nenve
- Chapelle, you don t leave thesheiter
of the trenfches until' you'rev in the
town., . And jwhen you're In the town
joun don't Ijeave It, either.
Sfeuve ChapeUe is bflown to pieces.
Its earth and streets; jeven i'ts grave
'.yard ha been churned by shells. Bome-
- where there ! is a German gun irainea
on the wreclfc of almosf every building
In town. Each gun seems to be set
"-on ' its particular mark; the German
gunners have only to 'put in a shell
and fire it. , It will strike some mark
'- In Neuve Chapelle. t
From a zigzag trench you get your
first view qf it; it is desolation it
self.' The mystery ,1a that men will
fight for such a place, but the battle
of Neuve Chapelle is already finding
its place in history as a tremendous
. achievement of an English general and
this group of piles of debris that you
see, a third of a mile distant is the
rent that Neuve Chapelle, the quiet
little French village that never has
been before known, to the world, pays
tar its niche in the annals of human
aiiairs. -- -- .v"

And Read This Romance .of
- a Day's Angling on the
Willamette,
By Marshall K. Dana.
James P. Robertson, native of Scot
land, is. the hero of . this story.
The scene is the Willamette river
below the falls during iho fourtn weeK
of April in the year 1915.' -
The boat is H vessel dedicated to
Chinook,', most .royal; of salmon and
sports. . , . ..
"Silly asses quoth Mr. Robert
son. "Ver-ry silly asses, must they
be, indeed! k t
"To think!';"' "A rod, such as one of
our billiard cues, ; a line with which
one might save a life; a reel similar
to the bass drum.:;' Over the side of
the boat I let down a weight, of lead
thus. Then a spoon; in the current
it Jiggles and spins. The salmon sees
it and strikes, books himself. Silly
ass, ver-ry!
'If it might be but a ngle . lure
clothes lines in England, the boats
are so many a mon could not fall
overboard, -the . fishermen : are an
army and the' spinners," how .could
any fish thread his way . among " them
and not be caught by tail, fin or gill?
Indeed and it must: anger them. Per
haps not so Billy, after alL"
The day was done in lazy ' sunbeam
russets and water blues. The boat
man rolled the stub of. his leaky cigar
ette between his loose, lips and pulled
leisurely on. the oars. Suddenly, Mr.
Robertson :
"Oh, h-he o.h. pshaw, this reel now!"
"Snagged," Inquired . I. with thr
sympathy begotten of many experi
ences ; i ; . ' . , ' . , . -;
"Not at all, mon, not at all; don't
you see? Don'tyou see? 'Tis a fish,
a most powerful f fellow! And this reel,
now, this reel? It should be the un
der side of the rod and It is jiot. The
fish will get away." -.. :
Mr. Robertson was meantime suc
ceeding in ' shortening - the line be
tween himself and that. which bent his
pole dangerously. ! ' (
Without warning, a 'slackened line.
A waterspout,, a , struggling: form in
the midst of shattered bubbles gleam
ing in the sun.
"A beauty,"' r averred .Mr. Robertson,
grimly.. Then, with, calm , intention.
uet us have the gafr."
Hasty search of boat's bottom failed
in discovery, of the article, fitting
description
"There is - none," ' I mourned, for.
verily, I desired keenly that .this-gen
tleman who is not only native of Scot
land but- resident;. of England 'might
return unto his own land, spreading
the fame of the salmon fishing on the
wiuamette.4 r "
To the ! Shore.
"To the shore We 'go then, quick,
boatman; but : not so quickly as to
place undue strain upon the- tackle.'
Mr.' Robertson's face was imperturb
able, as all 'good Scitch, faces are, but
his blue eyes were gleaming with the
light of battle
Toward a " distant sand beach we
headed, ' Other boats gave - respect
ful rightgf way. Ashore, "Mr. Rob
ertson dropped - vexatious . reel and
bending . pole. To the . line helaid
his hands.' 5 With a mighty, splash, in
came King Chinook.
;. The Scotchman's eyes were dancing,
but his tones were casual.'
"In Scotland," he said, "when we
have caught a fish, it is customary to
wet the prospects for another. and cto
share with 'the wprthy gillie, whom
you know as the ; hoatman. ' Might
there, bis al flaakr .
; There ' was none. The y rite, was
abandoned! . , . . . . -j
. "OH, ,wjll,A ' sighed 'Mr. Robertson,
"though the sport Indeed is royal, we
must remember-' that, this is America.
"Twould be better prepared for In
ScoUand-T i -
P. H. Blyth who is not only, native
of Scotland, .hut lives there, might
have been! the bero of . this story, for
he had been telling about haw, in the
salmon streams of his "aine countree,"
when -the iflsh sulks at the bottom, a
ring Impregnated - with tobacco Is
slipped down over the line, it glides
down to 'the fish, and immediately he
comes to the surface for more. But
Mr. Blyth, was not assigned to my
boat.- ..;-.--f t ."' - r r,:
- It happened in this wise: - ,-
Before the sun came up ort the morn
ing of Friday, April 23, it was dark.
Patters of moisture dripped from - the
fog and wet the surface of the Stark
Street landing. Out in the river the
carp '-, were, splashing in- their early
morning bath., rr-,.-., v .'"' f
"They're) not salmon?" Inquired lies
ter Melstred, of San Francisco, who
Just- then arrived.1 'Could we start
fishing right her in ' the center of
town?" - ' , ' - '; . r A-:"'-.
Mr. Melstred, weighs slightly more
than ex-President - Taf t . and -is all en
thusiasm and good 'fellowship. '
Came then Ir. K. DeWitt 'Connell
who, in anticipation of a day salmon
fishing as (al capper for a highly suc
cessful trout trip up the Mackenzie
river with Walter Honeyman, had not
slept. rAlso Mr. Merges, E. Ei. Merges,
his graceful launch and - .provisions

" In the "darkness darkest before
dawn 'we made way to the boathouse.
Gray ' dawn' was breaking when, we
left up-river, tpwlng a slender power
boat," which. Jerked and bucked and
swerved and' eavorted, ' Precisely as
does a buckskin . broncho.
Came the miracle of sunrise, -gladdening
the marvelous hillsides of the
Willamette with their inimitable shad
ings of green, j their flashes of, white
dogwood blossoms, their exulting
abundance of life. .
.And then, the rapids below the
mouth, of the Clackamas.. Captain
Charley steered away from the swirl
ing half eddyj of the : west bank;
Promptly, he. ran us upon a gravel
bar. "Everyone i at once' became ad
miral -or captain, shouting earnest
expletive.1 Captain ' Charfey shut off
the power; thf current did the rest,
Down stream, we drifted again;
Mr. ! Merges vj by - megaphone then
summoned, ; a i grizzled ; .and. kindly-faced
, man - from .among
the 'group that fish -about Commodore
Bofest (who angles for fun and sells
for profit) and - he, "Dad"' McGoon,
piloted us safely up the violent water,
into the pool . below the falls, where,
straightway, we fished until 11
o'clock, f'having- employed local row
boats. -:. Now . that I remember the
nooning. : my Conscience ' reproaches
that I did hot make either; Mr. Merges
hero of this story, because he pro
vided so excellently the still uncounted
sausages, onions, -bread, . potatoes, but
ter, sugar, cream, drinkables et cet
era, or that I (did not place Mr. Mel
stred in the same proud position, for
he chaffed so
wonderfully well. At
any rate, the.
luncheon, ; without the
salmon caught
by Dr. Connell and Mr.
Robertson, 'was! satisfying, oh, ver-ry!
The afternoon's 'fishing was at
McGoon park, on the shore of the land
taken up as a donation .claim- by "Dad"
McGoon' s grandfather. Anchoring the
launch, and leaving Dr. Connell and
Mr. Blyth napping and Mr. Robertson
fishing, we pulled away in Dad Mc-
f,Goon's-' rowboat,' - But' as -s qhickly we
turned back. Dr. Connell, the most un
excitable of mortals, had wabened.had
thrown out a line, was yelling and tug
ging like a mad man. With a splendid
heave, he brought; up his prey a por
tion of the river bottom.' He napped
again.- f
By evening, two more fish were ad
ded to the duo' obtained; With the quar
tet we started down-river.1. But, pause:
