General Funston, the two going i'm

VIVID PICTURE OF

Paris, April 21 (6:01 p, m)--Gas-
ton Deschampax, writing in the
Temps, gives vivid description of his
visit to the Verdun front from which
he has just returned. The account
follows.
THE vast battlefield was yelled by
sleety rain, but Verdun, Douaumont
and LIE Mort Homme were vaguely
outlined in the distance. Verdun
wounded, but still upright, stood like
a sentinel guarding the entrance or
the valley above the blackened ruins
of houses, while the towers of the ca
thedral rose like two outstretched
arms in protest against the misery and
desolation about them. The cathedrai
still stands unscathed.
Villages now are abandoned mad
become military positions where the
presence of civilians Is impossible.
The whole aspect of the vast panora-
ma is one of intense melancholy. At
intervals, incendiary bombs burst
among the ruins, throwing great
clouds of black smoke and debris.
From time to time, fires were start
ed Ly bombs and here and there VIII
lage houses were seen blazing through
the mists, but through all this scene
of fire and explosion, no human being
could be seen anywhere, as it was
hidden monsters of steel which fara-
way were working their terrible de-
struction The absence of human ac-
tivity added to the supreme sadness.
