Paris, Oct. S-The almost indescrib-

drew away from Paris. Newspaper

correspondent was invited by a Red
Cross surgeon to accompany him on
a visit to the theatre of activities.

OF guns last week is wildly shown
by the immense number of these
CHASTITY slashes in soil to be seen

The grave diggers make long

move 400 or 500 yards away, making
a new ditch. Each long ditch there
