BEAUTIFUL FORESTS RAzED.

BARLE-DUC, May 25.-The splen- did forests of the Argonne, as well as those of the Alsatian slopes of the Nosges Mountains and of the Woevre, are being gradually razed by shell and shrapnel fire Of the majestic pines that covered these heights there re- main only hacked and blackened stumps and a wild tangle of fallen trunks.
 Germans and French have cooperat- ed in this devastation, but the great CT destruction is credited to the in- tense, concentrated fire of the 3inch. CTS and 6-inchers that alone could dis lodge underground German fortresses. There is said to be abundant evidence that an the ground has oeen carefully plotted and the ranges taken by the Germans before the battles On many occasions French attachments follow. ing obscure paths unknown to any but the wOodmen of the regoin, fell prey to the fire of German gunners for whom there seem to be no secrets in the thickets of the Argonne. Against the advantages or prepara- tion. the French had but one re- source, a complete unheaval of the entire ground by concentrated artillery fire
 If the French succeed in driving the Germans finally into the open, the priceless forects of the entire region of the Argonne, from Barle-Duc north. uill exist no more.
