EXTREMELY BUSY PLACE WITH
 VARIED ACTIVITIES
Many Sided Efforts of Warfare Chronicled By Associated Press Correspondent; Visits to Allied Camps.

Oi Europe the portion or Belgium Y that remains to the allies is not large but now it is such a busy part of the world that one who whirs through it fl for several days in a military motor car. as an Associated Press cores pondent is now doing. is likely toh think that it is a very large par; of Europe, the villages are SO fun ofi' French, Belgian and British soldiers and bases of one sort and anothertI -here an aviation camp there an am bulance station and SO on-that to. visit the country is to realize the many sidede activities of warfare as one perhaps could not realize them in any other way. For one man in i the trenches there seem to be fifty carrying supplies and ammunition. ! building roads. repairing bridges, ! stringing telephone wires and con-l stucting barbed-wire entanglements
 This trip comprised almost two' hundred miles of travel in what may be roughly described as triangle with Nieuport, Dunkirk and Ypres at the three corners.
 "I don't suppose we can go into Ypres2' asked the correspondent.
 "You would be a fool to try and you would be a dead man if you got there" was the chauffeur's answer. Between Dunkirk and Ypres one can find an grades of demolition What i happened to Dunkirk by the action of a Krupp gun over twenty miles away almost everybody in the world knows now. But what happened to that gun it would be of greater interest to know and neither the French nor the Germans are saying anything about it But the people of Dunkirk know that it has not been in action for two months.
 As one travels inland from Dun kirk towards the southeast through Bergues he can readily appreciate why France. Holland and England are full of refugees wearing their hearts put with thoughts of their demol- ished homes, for there are to be seen little villages with not a building in- habited, hardly one unmarked by shell fire Handsome sixteenth century fa- cades, modest brick structures, ar tistic little churches have all gone in. 10 wars melting pot The streets are as devastated as the sections Of San 1 Francisco or Baltimore after their conilagrations
 The French are holding the dunes 3 along the coast then come the Bel , gians. then more French, then the i English. then still more French. then ] the English again and finally the ( long line of French reaching 10 Switz e erIand It is not often pointed ou Q that the French are gandwiched iI

 g Whenever they telephone us" wa s the reply "We have fired onl 't twice this morning" When the lin D. of action is as long as the route iron y New York to Philadelphia, each gul e has an easy time of it and there i i- plenty of opportunity for conversation
 Indeed, when the correspondent aJ .e preached the group they were laugf h ing at a story of the lieutenant. H was telling them of a devoted ordei n- ly. The lieutenant had been sent { 's the hospital as a result Of poison gas -o 'I should have left the hospital afte three days, said the lieutenant "bu 'e my orderly would not let me" 'y Have any shells burst around her
 yet?"
