PRIVATES X, Y AND Z (OF SURREY) ARE ENJOYING THE WAR

From DAVID SCOTT, "News Chronicle" Correspondent with the French Army

They are three soldiers of a famous British infantry regiment, and their names may be discreetly given as Private X, Private Y and Private Z.

Their job is to look out for enemy aircraft crossing the line and warn the British fighter squadrons and anti-aircraft batteries many miles away. Their post is on the top of a hill overlooking a wide stretch of open horizon,

On this hilltop the three young Englishmen-there were three more off duty somewhere--bave their own aircraft ranging ap paratus, carefully camouflaged, and their own wireless station with its two slender collapsible masts.

ground fortress spread chambers and galleries.

They Like French Food Privates X, Y and Z all come from Surrey, They were volunteer mem-i bars of a Territorial searchlight bat- tallon. But alrendy they know D great deal about war.

The advanced post I visited in a wood opposite on October 10 distin- uished itself when the Germans at- tacked.

First the Frenchmen were shelled in their treaches on the edge of the, wood, but no one was hurt. Then the shelling stopped and they saw a company of German infantry coming up the slope towards them.

Their young lieutenant ordered them on no necount to open fire, But

Prof. Schmittmann resigned his seat in the Prussian Dict to defend nis lucas with the pen. His theory was that as long as Prussia do- minated Germany neither liberty in the country nor peace in Europe would be assured.

Hitler's rise to power was the beginning of life imprisonment and persecution for the professor.

It is probable the Havas des- patch adds, that his death is due lo the fact that his ideas are gain- ing new life at the present mo- ment.
