TRENCH WAR RELICS.
SIGNBOARDS IN MUSEUM. SUGGESTION OF OLD SOLDIER. LONDON. Aug. 3. A veteran among the thousands of people who visited the South Kensington War Museum on the eve of the anniversary of the outbreak of the war noticed the original trench signboards from the Flanders front, such as "Suicide Corner" and "Death Valley." He recalled their dreadful associations, and said: "These ought not to be here. They should be hung on the walls of the Disarmament Conference Chamber at Geneva."
