There was virtually no infantry actlv- 1 ity. 1 Additional details of yesterday's 1 raid showed that only the heroism of the platoons in the trenches nearest 1 the post raided prevented the enemy 1 from entering the trenches and perhaps capturing prisoners. 1 American officers at the front have ' com? into possesion of documents 1 said to have been taken from Germans opposite our positions and ' which dwelt with the treatment to be 1 accorded prisoners. Tho document 1 hows that all prisoners including commissioned and non-commissioned 1 officers, after being captured, are to ' be kept in cages for four days without ^ food and compelled to stand all of the time. At the end of the fourth day ] only small quantities of food are to ] be given. Although definite infor- ' mation of the purpose is lacking, some American officers today express- | ed the belief that the order resulted * from the difficulties the Germans probably experienced in extracting infor- , mation from the first American prisoners captured in November. Such treatment of prisoners, it is thought, could be designed only to make them give up military information. I An elderly lady was buying a New 1 Year's present for her married daughter. She asked to be shown some tablecloths: The salesman brought a pile and showed them to her, but she said she had seen those elsewhere? ' nothing suited her. "Haven't you ' something new?" she asked. The clerk then brought another 4 pile and showed them to her. "These are the newest patterns," 1 he said. "You will notice the center * is exactly in the middle and the bor- ! der runs around the edge." ' "Isn't that lovely!" said the lady.

Jane Aueten. Andrew Lang's rhyme on the "Llf? tnd Letters" plague would not applj to Jane Austen, the centenary oi whose death we celebrated recently <ays the London Chronicle. 81rtj rears passed away before any biography of her appeared. Once the ball was set rolling, however, it soon gath?red force, and the number of "Lives" if that most modest of authoressei which have appeared since have amp!; made up for ihe previous neglect. 8c little did Miss Austen like publldtj that Mr. Austen-Leigh has told us that luring her lifetime "few of her read prs knew even her name, and none knew more than her name," and ot tier death In 1817 there was no met tlon of her or her writings In any ol the periodicals of the day.
