Strange Picture Presented.
He found many regions where an

radius Of recent battle lines was a
rarity, and an unchanged church al,
most unknown. With their hig:i
steples the churches nave furnished
most commanding observation points,
and sooner or later some well aime !
shells have struck them. Strange pic
lures are occasionally presented BY
these ruins. At Bonnine, a hamle;
perched on the heights northeast Of
Namur, shells have pierced the wallis
Of the church tower from each SIDE.
The tower stands on tour sprecarious
corner legs of brick, and a gaping hole
reveals the framework of the chimes,
whose tones are now hushed. The Bel.
gians had 6 lockout with a field tele.
phone In the tower.
The churchyard tombstones had
been upset or marked by flying splent-

barred by a plunging pr0jectile. "A

with glass containing a wreath of
immortelles, had been demolished.
