Associated Press.) DERUN, Dec. 18. Not since, the Pleistocene age has fave-dwolllnr be,en so universal a mode or life In Europe a today. AltoceOier there are hundreds of thousands of men, on and off the firing line, who burrow for shelter from the enemy's fire' and the weather's Inclemency this winter. Vast underground . cities have lieen built. In Galicla, the Associated Press corre spondent saw a lilll which had five tier of cave In rows of forty each. The en tire establishment sheltered 1.600 men. And life In the earth dwellings Is Btrceable, according to all accounts. The men In their letters, at least, speak of their caves with as much feeling as they do of home. Though snow and rain beat down without, the wind howl and great guns boom the cave Is always snug and warm, especially if It has been posaible to gatber enough straw for the floor and bed, and usually safe. Bo agreeable Is life In tho cave. In fact, that the Ilttlo humor contained In letters from soldiers at the front Is nearly al ways connected with It. Houses Are All Leveled. "I have been In this bombproof turnout for ten days," says the letter of a Ger man army surgeon. "Toward the front not a house or barn la standing. There Is net a place in which we might stable our horses and since our ambulances would be a fine target for the enemy's artillery, we hato established our first aid station In a roomy care, about 120 feet from the firing line. Two postages, rut deep in tho earth, give access to the cave. In which there is room for about, six wounded In addition to several per sons of the sanitary service. Close to our cave He the underground villas of the surgeons and th battalion commander and his adjutant, also the club, which has been named tho Thirsty Cavedweller. "The Inn Is a pearl of an Institution, suited alike for summer snd winter traf fio. and recommended to people suffering from nerves, ennui, super-culture . and sickly esthetics. . It Is also an excellent cure for alcoholism. A physician. Is con stantly in attendance. Prices are sea sonable, and living In the club costs nothing except possibly your life. The Interior equipment and decorations are charming. Tou wriggle through the nar row passage into the restaurant, and then fall down two steps, to - discover afterwards that you can stand upright In the dining room, which has a floor area of about sixty square feet. Everything; la Crude. "A home-made table and two rough j benches are the furniture of the res- taurant. On the tablo stand two candles in artistic holders fashioned from beets. The walls are covered with 'expensive' hangings, and the ceiling has an old fashioned walnscoatlng, both outbreaks of luxury having been made necessary by the efforts of moles and worms to taste our soup, drink our beer and wine. and make excursions down our backs between . skin and clothing. It will say that these creatures are greatly Inter ested in the splendor we have estab lished In their midst." The letter then mentions the closets in the cave restaurant In which the sup plies are kept, refers to tbe carpet of straw on the floor, and speaks . of a "Kellm" (Oriental rug) hanging which separates the restaurant ' from the cor ridor. ' In another letter from the front a cap tain who 1 laconic and terse, says of cave life; "We are as wet as young dogs, as dirty as swine, hairy as monkeys, and keep singing with -the enemy 390 feet away. We live In caves which sre now and then destroyed by shells- of - the enemy; When that happens we crawl out like so many rabbits and continue to live on pigs, steers, hens, goulash and rioe. We cut our hair stair-fashioned, write by light of candles upon which we do the cooking at the same time. Wa ara now our own antediluvian ancestors, and gladly anticipate a bayonet attack for the relief It gives us through a change of air.
