Was one of those 1et1liar freaks of nature Viiithb soldiers call luck, for the shots came in a shower, so close to them it seemued almost certain some one must. be wounded, 'although they were exposed only for a brief time. The other seven members of the party were in another section of the trench, and were not disturbed by the fire. Later, however, when all the Americans were together, the Germans droppd a big shell some ten yards away, seriously endangering every one. One member, in describing the incident to the correspondent later, said he and his companion heard the shell coming. "It sounded like the roar of an air plane", he said. Agnin fortune favored them and no one was injured. The visitors spent the night near the front, and rose early this morning for a trip to the trenches in the vicinity of Dixmude. The Borgian and German lines run witihin thirty yards of each other at one point, and it was there thkut the five men came into danger. At that distance it is easy to seg %11y. ne in the opposite trench who raises 'his head above the top. Only the usual firin'g was under way when the party reached this place. The Americans were having an ex cellent view of the .lines when several of them got into an exposed posid4on and were seen by the Gern'ans. Sud denly the enemy machine guns nearby bdgan a vicious chatter, and bullets came whizzing across the narrow strip of No Man's Land at the rate of several hundred a minute. Before the visitors realized the sit nation bullets were whizzing all about them, like a storm of hall, and dirt was being thrown into their faces, as some of the steel pellets struck the top of the trench. They all bent down for cover, but all migltt easily have been caught, since it does not take more than a small fraction of a minute for a machine gun to accountt for a number of men if the shooting is ac curate. The Americans depa rt ed this after noon for l'g:nland. On arriving at the 114rt whtenee they satiledl thery said theitr trip to thIe lteltgian fruunt had b-en t1u 1 satIisfatory0 .

"The Masque of Life," which will play at the Opera House for two days, commencing Thanksgiving 'Day, has already proved itself popular In New York. During a long run at the Park theatre, it caught the public fancy and steadily played to crowded hous esd. It is a seven reel spectacular pro duction, said to be brimful of thrills, and very different. from anything ev er before seen in America in many ways. In the II rst. place, it. is a real spectacle, and obviously produeed in a most 1 eXpnlsi2'v' ivmanInli'er.
