NEW YEAR WELCOMED

LONDON. Mnrch 25. New York's New
Year's eve celebration was probably ns
wild and ns noisy ns ever.
Hut it couldn't have been a marker to
ours In tho trenches. I only wonder that
New York didn't hear um.
We spent the enllro day of Iiccpiiiber 3t
In getting ready for our midnight cele
bration. W'p Intended to give tho Ger
mans n fusillade that they wouldn't for
get. During the Christmas Uny truco we
had met most of tho Germans In the
trenches ncrosi the way from us sinil they
had told us that even they wero getting
ready for their New Yrar'H eve celebra
tion. Victor Chapman, the Harvard man,
from New York; Kugrup .Incobi. tho Paw
tucket butcher, mi. I myself talked nhout
the rackets that would usher In tho new
enr In New York, Kan Francisco, my
home town, and I'awtuckel, and we did
everything we could to ginger up tho men
of a dozen nationalities who wero mem
bers of the Foreign Legion.
But In fnc', they didn't need much gin
gering up. Thcro woro men who remem
bered Now Year's eve celebrations In
Athens, Lisbon, Madild, nnd, In fact,
eveiy capital of tho world, so our prepara
tions were carried out without any stint
of labor or oxpviiMo In our "sunken city."
lMtKPAIUNG FOR "IlACKlTr."
liy evening we had huge piles of white
night lights ready to flic. They were
American-made, Just ordinary skyrock
ets. Each man hnd 10) extra cartridges
and tluro wero piles of cartridges ready
beside our four machine guns. Our ni til
lory, far behind our lines, was also pre
paicd, though wo didn't know It until
later. And all along the Fieuch ti cliches
that stretched tho 23U miles from tho
North Sea nlinost to Switzerland every
thing that could shoot was rcadv.
France was going to show tho Germans
how to usher In tho now year. But before
the racket we in our trench were to have
a big holiday dinner. Wo hud planned
tn have the entire machine sun Miuud of
if, men at the dinner, but thete wcio only
f. because Tour had been killed dining
the week after Christinas. The tiisl sur
prise of tho dinner came when Sikorsky,
n l'olish revolutionist, who belonged to
oui lealon. entered tho dugout carrying
the beautiful metal helmet of a Geimiin
lieutenant colonel filled with champagmi
punch. We drank to the defeat of tho
Germans fiom this odd punch bowl and
then began at the chicken. Slkorak was
Just getting up to recite, a poem which he
had written about tho Allies when the
second surprlso of the evening came. I
think It was n surpiise that ran along
the wliolu 250 miles of trenches.
First wo heard a blunt of busies from
tho German trenches. Then there broke
out tho most terrific ennnonade wo had
heard In tho entire war. nverythlng that
tho Germans had that could shoot was
shootliiB. Horns were blowing; men were
yelling nnd whistling: bombs were break
ing in tho air; tho sky was wlilto with
tho German white lights: It was brighter
than Ilrondway. Far uwny cannons were
booming; their shells were Ineaking lie
hind our lines. 1 never expect to hear
such a tumult again. It wu.s exhilarating
Wo ran for our guns thinking It was all
In preparation for a charge. But no
charge came: no bullets Hew nroitnd us;
the artillery shells fell at a safe dis
tance, from us.
After 11 in 1 mi I cm tlm noise died down
and we could hear the Hermans shouting
to us "Happy New Yeni."
"'We'll celebrate in Paris pe.st enr."
"How wfls that feu noio""
"Hut you're wrong," wp jelled hack.
"It'a only II o'clock nnil you're celebrat
ing an hour too early."
"We go by Berlin time," they answered.
And suddenly It dawned upon us that
Paris timo Is un hour later than German
time,
"Yes, nnd nil of Franco will be going
by Berlin time, too," shouted ono Ger
man, who made us all laugh. He talked
llko Lew Fields. We waited until U
o'clock, nnd then we had our celebia
tlon. It wasn't us noisy as that of the
Germans. 1 must admit. Our white lights
weren't as bright; but our artillery Hied
noisy shells, nnd what our rifle and ma
chine gun fire lacked in noise the shells
that came from miles behind us made up
for.
Our racket lasted ten minutes "S e
didn't try, to kill nujbody, and as fai ns
we could learn nobody in our dlstik-t
was even wounded.
When our noise was ended wo elled
to the Germans:
"All of Germany will he going by
French timo when we get to nerlln."
Tyveuty-sevcn days later thit Germans
gave us another terrlllc cannonading, but
this time they were celebrating the
Kaiser's birthday, and were shooting to
kill.
We didn't know It was the Kaisers
oirthday, and at midnight when maio
of our men wero repairing trenches with
their heads above the walls the German
bullets suddenly swept our trenches and
killed U of us.

"And what was the most critical mo

I then Inquired iib to the conduct of the
German soldiers.
"As to their behavior," I said, "Is It
ns bad a3 reported; have they consistently
broken the rules of civilized warfnio?"
For the (list tlmo the British field mar

u a soldier he wished to be entirely just

After a pause, Sir John went on: "Hut
It varies. It seems to depend upon t'ne
