PARIS. Oct. 20.-In the middle Of
the Champagne battle field my first
impression was that Judgment Day
had come; that l had been left be-
hind to roam the disrupted earth
alone.
AS far as the eye could see un-
dulated one vast, pitted waste Of
chalk, with snags Of annihilated
forests sticking up, gaunt and white
and covered with dust, against the
skyline. and with arms and legs and
other fragments OF dead men lying
stinldng like common gargage on a
titanic dump.
This was the work of the French
artillery. Here the Germans had
been. Here many we're still-rot-
ting.
Hell's furies seemed to have been
forestalled and outdone. For three
days / was permitted to wander over
the ground recently won by the
French.
I had talked previously with many
officers and men concerning the ef-
ficacy of the French shellire but
even thus prepared. and despite what
l had hitherto observed personally,
was totally surprised by what 1
saw.
over tens of square miles practical
ly no vegetation was left. Even
the rabbits and rats had not escaped
Almost 100000 shells we're hurled
into this area in three days, digging
pits from five to IS feet deep. the lat
ter 1870 to $50 feet across. AS a re-
suit OF this concentrated fire, the
whole country was covered with a
white powder.
A general told me the German
troops we're so demoralized that
droyes OF prisoners the French took
we're sent to the rear without other
Escort than a single guide that
many were almost insane for days.
Numerous entire French regiments
have been trying to clean up the bat
tlefield ever since the struggle. but
without seeming to make headway
so vast is the undertaking.
Excavations bring to light daily
fresh war stories or huddles of putre-
flying Germans. as if this we're some
new Pomper

Under the French fire the trenches
became graves for the living, whil

M'MAHON BROTHERS have
ORIGINAL STOVE IDEAS

For years the firm OF Mcmahon
Bros, Sixth and King streets. has
made a speciality of the stove busi-
ness in connection with the large
house furnishings business it does.
That it is successful in this particu-
lar line is easily demonstrated to
any one watching the large number
of stove deliveries being made by
hat firm every day.
The success of Mcmahon Bros. is
due to the fact that it has stoves
built to order. It has made study
Of the stove needs OF the housewife,
whether il be for cooking or heat
ing purposes, and for that reason, il
for no other, has reached a posi-
tion wherein it can tell TO minute
just what the customer wants in
the stove line.
This firm has several original ideas
embodied in its wcll-known "McMahon's
Choice stove, each of which has an inn
portant part TO fulfill to make the stove
all that the local dealers claim for it.
IN the cooking stoves will be found
arge deep fire boxes, a higher fue ia
,reate a better draft, larger and deeper
lsh pit, reinforced top in order to keep
he stove from warping out of shape
aud system Whereby every side OF the
oven is heated, the heat being equally
distributed. There also is a new dam
GER which, when operated, will produce
4 hot fire within two minutes, thus
;reatly aiding the housewife in the
preparation of breakfast when time is
'aluablc TO her.
An innovation in AIcNIahon's heating
stove is termed reverter. In other
words it reverts the heat 10 the bottom
'f the stove and prevents it from es-
;aping into the chimney. This should
oe a money saver so far as coal is con-
'erned.

MEMBERS OF STATE LAND BOARD
FEAR COMING OF Jap" COLONISTS

Recent action of the state land board in per-
hitting the T.. ID. Hashimoto company, Jap
anese corporation. TO assign its applications for
purchase of state lands 10 +. b. Stephens, is be-
ing looked upon by Japanese and others as rec
ignition of the right of an alien corporation TO
apply for purchase of state lands and the mat
ter is attracting attention throughout the coun-
try, according 10 information being received by
w. j. Lynch secretary Of the land board.
In California. il is reported the action of the
Utah state land board has created interest, and
visitors 10 the fair who have returned have told
Lynch, he says, that the matter is the subject of
general discussion in California. Most unfavor-
able criticism, Lynch has found, is being made
of the action of the Utah board, and IL is being
regarded as a step toward opening a way for
aliens to acquire land holdings in this country.
Japanese Take Notice.
Japanese newspapers published in various
parts Of the country, Lynch states. are taking an
interest in the action of the board and have been
asking for information about il. Recently Jap
