A vivid accound of life in the German front line opposite the British Army on the Somme has reached the London Daily Mirror from a reliable source. "The enemyis airmen," wrote a German corporal in a captured diary, "are far superior, especially in num- bers. Our airmen are powerless and are put to flight as soon as the enemy machines approach our trench lines. "Many air fights take place. About eighteen captive balloons are up on tlte. other side; only two of ours are to be seen. "The artillery fire is quite tremend- ous The English airmen are often over our wood. We are often oblig- ed to seek cover from aircraft, The airmen, nevertheless, must have seen our encampments, tents, etc., for vig- orous artillery fire on our bivouac fol- lowed, all the evening, mostly 15cm. shells.

One of them says:-- "Cover there is none; we lie in ' a shell hole and defend ourselves to the last man. Day and night the earth quakes with the bombardment of the heaviest guns. We have had heavy losses already." Another man Writes: -"Often I get so desperate that I could throw my rifle away and bolt." Another German soldier: writes from hospital; -"We are already sick of the wain. My feeling about it is such that, if Iran to go back, I shall serve for three weeks and then go sick again, for there is no object in fight- ing any more." The same feeling was perhaps at work in two men who are the subject of a report by a German company sergeant -major: - This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, I par- aded all the men of the company. I read out from the sick list all the names of the sick; and seven men whom the doctor considers fit for trench duty. Thereupon Pte.

We need' not inquire into the mo- tives that. may have actuated this fa- vorable consideration. It is sufficient to know they have done so and have gone on record to that effect. That these great diplomatists see in each other grounds for distrust for the motives of the other, is only na- tural. The atmosphere of enmity, and' we may say, suspicion, hangs too heavily over Europe to permit of un- prejudiced approach to the ultimate issue of peace; but there is this to hearten all who hope for a happier so- lution of the problem, that in both London and'Berlin the outcome of the way is now being discussed in world terms instead of terms of purely na- tional or racial interest.. This of itself is a notable mark of progress towards a more rational point of view, for it implies the relin- quishment of Germany's "world power" foolishness. When peace is considered in the light of the world's welfare, rather than as an opportun- ity for extending frontiers, there is ground for hope that sanity is begin- ning to assert itself. Germany, we all lcnow, has been exasperatingly slow in coming to this, nor does she now assume it with such indications of whole -heartedness as might be wished; but tiat she has come to it at all is certainly very en- couraging, as it •shows that neutral e Ilion Princess Zita, of"'the Bourbon house of Parma.
