French Reconvert Blasted Land
To Fragrant, Blooming Orchard

and devastated as though God HIM
self had just passed over 1t His
most terrible scourge.
Today, under the magic touch
of the French armies. who know
both how to fight and to work,
this thousand square kilometers
of redeemed France, Is blossom
ing and blooming like a rose.
The contrast is so great that
one is tempted to believe that
other elements than merely those
of the French mind and the
French arm have entered into the
transformation.
Orchards i'm Blossom.
Nothing has been done towards
restoring the ruined towns, viii
lagos and farm houses. But the
original Impression of unutterable
devastation created by them is i'm
mensely softened by the fact that
they are now almost hidden in
waving grain fields, smiling vine
yards and poisoning orchards.
The French soldiers working
under direction of French gen.
erals, who know other things than
mere military operations, have
found the means of saving thou
sands OF trees. Throughout the en-
tire district devastated by the Ger
mans there were thousands OF
trees that the close pursuit of the
French kept the Germans from
having time completely to cut
down. Instead, the kultured tree
killers cut off a circle of bark
around the trunk of the tree,
which with a few days exposure
to the sun would be sufficient to
kill peach. plum. apple, apricot
and cherry trees that had been
half century attaining their then
actual productiveness.
Use Many Devices.
These trees presented the easiest
problem. The wounds were mere
ly bound up like the wounds of a
soldier. Thousands of army sur
geons and Red Cross ambulance
drivers and stretcher carriers as
sisted too In this work. The cir
cles where the bark had been cut
away was first covered with spe-
cial grating cement, and the en-
tire wound then carefully band
aged up after with the same band
ages that had been prepared for
human limbs. So great was the
number of trees in this way that
the entire available supply of
grating preparation was quickly
exhausted.
Tar was then used as a sibsti-
tute and finally even a loamy clay.
Substitutes for surgical bandages
also had to be found and in the
end 1t was discovered that moss
twisted and tied about the dressed
wound was as effective as any
thing else.
A much more serious problem
of course presented itself where
the trees had been entirely cut or
sawed down. But here French
genius also solved the problem.

prevail today. These classes are:
Men physically unfit.
Men employed in essential posi-
tions in war industries.
Those with certain religious be-

Men with wives or other rela-

The regulations covered SO

The rules provide that local ex-

The way of the seeker after ex-
emption from military service. for
occupational reasons, is going to
be hard.
President Wilson's regulations
to be issued soon will provide two
strict checks thereon:
First, the claimant must prove
his industry is necessary to
maintenance OF the national in

cant must prove his service to be

Should a man be exempted
from duty by virtue of his occu-
patton he cannot maintain this
exemption IL he transfers himself
to other lines not vital to the ma
tons needs.
