Behind the British Lines In
Frsnce, July 14. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press)- Life on
active service Is not entirely com
posed, sa some people are Inclined
to imagine, ot fighting, of sitting In
trenches, of resting In billets, of
marching, eating and sleeping. I Is
true that the main activities ot the
soldier are comprised ot the above
Hat, but there are countleas other du
ties which he Is called upon to per
form, duties which might best be
called "odd Jobs," and some ot
which are distinctly odd. ,
The days of camp-followers, who
used to perform the more menial
tasks of the battle aone, are gone
never to return. The soldier must
now be his own 'hewer of wood and I
drawer of water, lie must attend
himself to all the little details otj
life, the cleaning of his quarters, the,

which the soldier Is called upon to
do In what would otherwise be his
spare time, he sums up under the
comprehensive heading of "fatigue."
Fatigue duty, aa the name Implies,
Is not often a light or restful form

The first men to be picked tor a

with an Idea ot punishment. In con
sequence, an attempt has been made
to differentiate between extra work
which Is definitely allotted as a form
of punishment, and extra work
which is Included In the duties ot
every soldier, be his character never
so stainless. For thla purpose a new
phrase has been Introduced. This
new phare is "working party." Men
are elected for . working parties In

share.
So tar as possible, working partlea
