From an article in the Berliner Tageblatt descriptive of life on the Western Front:—­

“Perhaps the sun will soon bring warm wind, and how glad one would be of a thaw in the trenches.  But then the accursed time will come again when the whole surface of Northern France sticks to the boot of the German soldier.”—­The Times.

Our brave police must look to their laurels.
