E, Arrive and Depart. "Arrivals" and "departures" havo a definite place In French trench philol ogy. When the American troops first entered the twnches their French com rades were very anxious to have them distinguish accurately between the noise of "arrives" and "deports." "I thought they wero talking harbor clearance nt first,'' aaJd one Yankee lad. "Then I heard a low, whining sound and a shell exploded behind us. !J7n arrive,' said my companion. He signified that It was a present from the Germans. Soon there was a louder, sharper sound. It was a responsive roar from our own batteries. 'Un de part,' he said with great satisfaction. 'V6l!a!' wo had It. The exchange of artillery fire Is. after all, a mntter of 'arrivals' and 'departures,' Needless to say. the 'departs' enjoy the wider popularity."
