Its fragrant lamps. and turns
Into royal court with green festoons
The banks Of dark lagoons.
In gardens you may note amid the

The crocus breaking earth,
And near the snewdrops tender white

The violet in its screen.
At times a fragrant breeze comes
floating by
And brings, you know not why,
A feeling as when eager crowds await
Before wondrous Pageant.

part of the homeland, and with dis
couragement and lethargic hopeless
ness boding the strangulation of all
national sentiment in France, the citi-
zens of Chalons met the high stand
ards of their glorious past, and twice
rolled back the victorious English
from their walls-in 1880 and in 1434.
THE Camp of Chalons, the great
French training center for troops, was
fittingly established near this city in
1856. 1t lies 16 miles from the town
on the railway line to Reims. 1t oc-
cupies an area of about 10000 acres.
"Chalons, capital of the Department
of Marine, lies 1O7 miles east of Paris,
on the main railway line between Pa
ris and Frankfort-am Main. 1t is %
miles southeast of Reims and is sit
uated on the river Marine in the re-
nowned French wine country. To the
visitor from the New World, the houses
of Chalons are picturesque, many of
them are unstable affairs of wood and
plaster, and few of them possess any
degree of elegance. There is little of
outward, apparent interest in Chalons,
and to visit it in a properly apprecia-
tive mood, one must prepare by leav-
ing behind his guide books and by
reading up on French history"

VALLEY OF MEUSE IS
HISTORIC BATTLEFIELD
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
valley of the Meuse river, extending
through France, Belgium and Holland
I'D and down whose course two thous-
and years of intermittent warfare has
been waged, forms the subject of a
statement given out today by the Ma
toinal Geographic society:
above every other vailed, that Of
the Mouse has become battlefield. AT
Liege. on the Mouse, the first great
battle of the war broke forth, and the
struggle blazed and scared all along
the picturesque splendor of this wild,
rugged-banked stream, directly south
ward through Belgium into France. Ac-
cording to the day by day dispatches,
some of the most fierce efforts are still
raging on it's banks. Liege, Namur,
Dinant, Givet, Sedan, Stenay Verdun
and st. Mihiel-each name recently
become familiar to Americans-all lie
along its course.
Three countries share the Mouse,
II rises in France, flows northward
through Belgium, crosses the Dutch
frontier, sweeps westward through
Holland and empties into the North
Sea.
Its Journey to the sea is some $50
miles, of which 460 are navigable. Its
source is in the south of the French
Department Haute Marine, near the
Monte FaucilIes, whence it crosses the
Departments Vosges, Mouse, Ardennes
into Belgium near Sedan, northward
into Holland, near Maestrich, and
thence westward to the sea. 1t bears
several names along its course-Meuse
Macs, Mas, Merwede.
"The valley of the Meuse for ages
1as been a channel for the ebb and
flow of armies. 1t might be said tc
drain one vast, historic battlefield

statement just prepared by the Ma
tional Geographic society, which says:
Just back of where the battle line
sweeps in a wide curve over the world
famed grape lands of the Champagne
lies Chalons-sur-Marn one of the
principal military training camps in
France. 1t is a brave town; and no
other community in Europe appears
through the pages of 1900 years of
Christian history with more honor or
with fewer memories for regret. A
natural mobilization point for the de-
tense of northern France, Chalons has
been the objective of many invasions
from the east and north, and is again
the aim of mighty invading forces.
"Chalons is small, of but little COM
mercial Importance, old-fashioned,
and decidedly bougeois and common
place. 1t is remembered by Ameri-
cans, who have tarried there a few
days in their eager journey between
the German Rhine country and Paris,
only as a quaint, somewhat shambly
place. Nevertheless, it is able to
boast itself one of the proudest cities
at whose gates an enemy in the pres
ent war may knock.
Its history reaches back of Roman
occupation. Caesar found on this site
the chief town of Catalauni. One the
plains nearby, Attila, The Scourge Of
God,' with his wild Huns, whom all
Europe had come to fear, was defeated
in Ash in what, according to one au-
thority, was one of the fifteen decisive
battles of the world. 1t was called
The Battle of Chalons' by the ancient
historians, who reported that some
100000 dead were left upon the field.
If this were so, the battle which wreck
ed Attila's dream Of world dominion
was the bloodiest ever fought in Eu-
rope, and, probably, in the world. So
fierc was this battle between the east
and west for supremacy-according to
tradition-that the myriad, embittered
ghosts of the slain renewed the conflict
every night for years after the event.

present day.

In the Forest of Ardennes, the
Mouse flows through country rich in
romances of Charlemange. Vine lands
and hop gardens lie further along its
banks, and then it washes great indus
trial cities, gathering to itself the
ashes, rust and acide of factory and
furnace waste. Finally, it drifts
through the flatlands of Holland, sup
plying the numerous canals which la
lilly divide the plains. Here and there,
as between Namur and Liege, it cuts 4
narrow passage between wooded hills
and cliffs, their difficult sides dotted
with pretty villas. Just before reach
ing the sea, the Meuse, here the Mas,
divides, one branch flowing west and
the other mingling with the Rhine, 10
empty past Rotterdam at the Hook of
Holland.
'In the beginning of it's course the
Galley of the Meuse is a wide meadow
land. 1t then breaks itself a gorge,
gringed with broken, tangled banks.
There is a wealth of scenic beauty
along it's way. Chateaux, castles, cot
tages and farmsteads sprinkle the
valley though far more thickly than
these evidences of the living are clus-
tered the place-names rescued from
forgetfulness by legends and historic
records. The camp of the Aiuatuci de-
scribed by Caesar is marked by cit
adel on a hill between this river and
the Sambre, its largest tributary. At
Dinant, Philip the Good, Duke of Bur-
gundy, is said to have caused 800 peo-
pie to be drowned in its waters. But
