I have given up collecting pieces of shells for souvenirs, having
found myself a veritable Krupp’s scrap heap. Spies seem to be the
chief excitement here, and the old motto has been altered to read,
“Catch that spy!” Two days ago a haystack was found in the interior of
which was a complete telegraph office working by underground cable to
the German lines, and thus the Germans were kept acquainted with our
movements and the disposition of our artillery: _A Telegraphist, 1st
Army Headquarters_.
