Tells Remarkable Story of His Experience in Getting Picture of the Germans?Men Seemed Quite Happy. Paris.?^'Illustration, France's leading pictorial weekly, recently contained a remarkable story and a remarkable photograph of an Incident which occurred in the famous forest of the Argonne. Both picture and narrative are the work of a French junior offlcer, who writes: The general one morning said to me: "I want you to make your way \to our first Una. and if possible phoijwW.tsaminir.ntfsii.fi. you, for the enemy shoots the first t? kepi he sees a^d the moment he hears t< a sound!" Amid a mass of branches 1 a perceived our lads. A lieutenant, e witruba oy leiepnone, was expecting g( me. In a penetrating whisper he a said: "Hist! they're only fifteen me- f< ters off." I soon reached a faggot hedge, and peeping through, with the _ aid of a field-glass, I could distinguish a heap of fresh soil ahead. It was the German trenches. " "Don't look too long," said the lieutenant, "or a bullet will whip that periscope from your hand. What we'd like to know is whether they're 'bad boys' or 'good boys.'" b By "bad boys" he meant the Prua- 8 sians, who fling grenades, bombs, or 1 minenwerfer shells morning, noon, ^ and night; and by "good boys," the p Saxons, who are lazier, and leave us c In peace for hours at a stretch. We kept as still as mice all the J while, watching intently. Suddenly 1 the lieutenant began to whistle a popular German song: n Drunten lm Unterland, f El! da ist's so wunderachoen. b In the valley below C How glorious the life! n He stopped. We never moved a ^ muscle. Then from the trench oppo- ? site came the concluding couplet, whistled In the nnniA kov I El da lst's so wunderschovn, Da moccht' Ich Jaeger setn! How glorious the lite P With the huntsmen you know! 1 could hardly believe my ears. At my side a soldier exclaimed: "Look, there's a German.

In genial tones 1 the! called out. " 'n Morgen Kamaradi." (Good morning, comrade.) Then 1 other heads appeared. I counted five; ontf belonged to an officer. This seemed h to ie the psychological moment to get a useful and curious record. So I handed the lieutenant the camera and h? held- it above the trench and dried out "Photographiren?" 0 "Ja, Ja," called back the Germans, o whose round faces broke into a broad w smile. b * > I quickly scaled our trench, and get- h ting possession of the kodak I t< stretched myself flat on the loose soil si - and focussed the German trench, h "Click," and with a salute to the en- h emy 1 dropped back into the trench, jnst as a cheery "Dank" came across v the Intervening space. ci They seemed quite happy.

A bough stopped It, and instantly a German came out of his trench, apparently with the object of picking it up and handing It to us. But the lieutenant, with a grim smile, pointed.a revolver at him; the Teuton returned, and the cigarettes stayed where they were.

Amsterdam.?An Interesting pen picture of Emperor William appeared in the Kreuz Zeitung. an army organ published in Berlin, from its correspondent on the eastern front.
