Paris, December 5.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. 1.-The French gov- ernment recently gave facilities to the Associated Press and a party of foreign journalists to inspect some of the re- markable work which is being done for regeneration of the ranks of stricken, crippled, maimed and apparently hopeless wounded who are borne back from the fighting line at Champagne.
 Under the escort of French officers, the party was taken to St Maurice, short are brought after the physical cares of surgery have been given, to be nursed into convalescence, diverted from the loss of limbs, and gradually educated into some new lines which recreates them into useful members of society. St. Maurice is of vast dimensions, the buildings and grounds occupying an area probably greater than Central park in New York. The buildings stretch as far as the eye can see; low, two-story stone structures, so that the crpples are not climbing long stairs, and are near the gardens, every where abundant with flowers and shrub bery, to lend cheer to the occupants.
 1.-TWO hundred more wounded are com- ing,' said an attendant, as the officer led the way into the first building, the re- ceiving ward.

 Tt is not fractured skull; that would be hopeless,' said the offices. "No, that man can be made over"
 But this receiving ward was merely the first stage in a sort of ascending scale, which improved the wounded mans con- dition at each stage until he was finally landed in the school where he was made over into condition more useful to him. self and society than he was before. It was to this school that chief interest was directed. F
 This enormous school at St. Maurice is a hive of workshops of all kinds-shoe- making shops, machine shops, auto repair shops. blacksmith shops with blazing forges and clothes-making shops, and the workmen were the wounded soldiers from the firing line, minus an arm, leg or eye on which they had before depended, but now launched on a new line which did not need that arm, leg or eye. As a whole, it was as efficient body of work men as one would find in any well-regu- lated factory. The men had smiling faces those working in groups were chatting and laughing

One pale-faced young soldier. his left hand gone near the el- bow, was delicately modelling a Venus and Milo with his remaining hand
 The soldier architects were making de- signs with blue prints of girders, arches and columns, and calculating the strength of walls and roofs. All of these men had something missing but their work was so chosen as to make absolutely negligible the lost member, and to make what re- mained of their members entirely effi- cient for this particular work. Near the soldier architects were ranged two long lines of soldier typewriters, men who had lost a foot or some other member, but whose hands had now been taught skill they had not known before in rapid type writing.
