 From the town of Ham several hundred people, nearly half of them girls and women over 15 years of age, were reported taken away as pris- oners.
 The statement given out to the depart ment follows:
 "A telegram from the American ambas' sador at Paris, date April 1, states that upon the invitation of the French gov ernment he visited on March 31, many of the French towns recently retaken ir the invaded territory. He was accompa- nfed by one of the military attaches to the embassy. He found that the various reports circulated in France which have appeared In American newspapers in re- gard to the deplorable condition were ir no way exaggerated
 "In the larger towns of Rove and Ham and particularly in the attractive and thriving town of Chauny, destruction was complete.
 "In many of the smaller villages scarcely house remains with roof in tact. Throughout the reconquered ter ritory there reigns a scene of desolation and this is not only true where German military operations might possibly excuse destruction in the blowing up of bridges telephonic and telegraphic connections railway lines, and the blocking of high ways by felling trees which protected the German retreat, but towns were totally destroyed for no apparent military req son. Fruit trees had either been cut down or exploded so as 70 completely ruin them; private houses along the country highway, including some of the mosi beautiful chateaux of great value, were completely gutted by explosives system atically planted or by fire.

JUST A DAY

A day. it has seemed, and glory
Since he was baby, but now
He has gone from us here like story.
He has left the old farm and the
ploW.
Somewhere when we sit in the gloam-
ing
And chant of the joys we revere.
We picture him distantly roaming,
And treasure him ever so dear.
No more does he linger to help us,
No more do his thoughtful words
come;
The voice which was blithesome and
tender
Is silent, is missing, is dumb.
We taught him to care for his coun-
try,
The boy who has left us to fight;
We honor him where he is roaming,
Yet miss him and want him tonight.
A day, it has seemed, as we ponder
Since he was baby, and then,
We picture him distantly roaming
And fighting the battle Of men.
Robert Worthington Davie.
