Retiring Germans Wreckers of
 Homes and Hopes

War Correspondence, Headquarters with the British Armies in France, Wednesday, March 21, From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press.-"We would have starved if it had not been for the American relief commission declared a French wom-i an in the City hall of Nesle today. to the correspondent, speaking for her. self and her two little children, their pallid faces and high cheek bones giving evidence of their privations.
 Wherever one went in the terri- tcry recently evacuated by the Ger mans the same story was repeated. There are many other stories of hard ships being told, although most os the inhabitant said the German sol- diers had been we'll disclipined and kept strictly under control. It was repeatedly asserted, however, that within the past few weeks the Ger mans had appropriated some of the American relief stores to their own use.
 Some of the peasants encountered in the evacuated territory were plain ly joyous at their liberation. others appeared to have their spirits broken.
 Watching Homes Destroyed.
 One of the greatest ordeals the people said they had to endure was to stand by and see their homes broken up by the Germans as the sol diers were leaving. In some instances the French inhabitants who had been held virtually as prisoners during the German occupation. had been segre- gated in certain parts of the villages while the work of destruction was going on elsewhere.
 At Rouy, however. 1t was stated, and reiterated by scores of persons, that the inhabitants of these and sew eral other villages had been gathered at Rouy-le-Petit in certain houses and told to remain in them 8 certain num- Der of hours while the Germans got away. While SO herded together. they declared, the Germans had sent 200 shells into the village, killing several persons. The funerals which were in progress in the village today lent color to the story. People fna other villages also assert that they dis t.nctly heard this firing and thought that a battle was in progress.
 It was pitiful to motor today through villages which had been far from the firing line and untouched by any shells and yet were lying in ab- solute ruins Active steps are being taken by both the British and the French to relieve the people in the liberated zone. About the only ger sons seen are old men. women and children. The amount of damage involved in saving down fruit trees in the evac- 1 uated territory is almost incalculable, and every where the destruction seems to have been carried to within the past few days.
