In the trenches south of Arras the, British Tommies have noticed a magnicont German named Ludwig. Lugwig is nearly 7ft tall, and is bearded like the pard, with a waist of Falstaffian dimensions. The day begins in our trenches with cries for Ludwig: “Ludwig, Ludwig, vas you clere? ’■’ Ludwig then appears on the highest earthwork, bowing magnificently, while thunders of applause roll down the British lines. On a recent morning the cry for Lu<> wig was received in dead silence. Then a Gterman under-ofneer appearde, and in a broken voice declared that the beloved Ludwig had swallowed, a plum during the night 's operations, meaning, of course, that the . big man Had been shot on duty. The news was received with general regret.
