The Abandoned
German Trenches

And then to be taken down into the
German first line trenches was an ex-
perience not TO be sneezed at.
IL is true that the Germans have
been out of those trenches since April,
and that the peoples are growing over
them. But then, peoples grow over
the face of France under the very heel
OF war. And if the Boches have been
out OF those SCARED earthen runwsys
for three months they were in them
for nearly three years, and the mark
of their occupation IS nowhere near
removed.
As we sauntered through them, look
ing at the tidy German way they had
been built and at the ingenious Ger
man way they had been used, We came
upon many little upright sticks. with
Crab and faded red rags tied 70 their
tops. These we yeered round with deep
respect-they marked where the uneX-
ploded hand grenades had fallen. The
French have cleaned up their recoy-
cred land with an amazing thorough
ness, but they have not yet cleared the
deserted trenches. IL is rare that
visitor goes near them. Then only
under careful escort. And the soldiers
have run up the red rags as sufficient
warning to the initiated.
But though the ruined towns are
nothing but heaps Of brick and plaster,
the streets are cleared through them.
The start has been made.
And though the trees are cut down
in the fields, and the earth is gashed
By the trenches, many of the trees are
already cut into log lengths and
stacked for frewood along the road
and the fields are growing up with pop
pies and cvrnfowers. and those not
cut to bits by trenches are sown III
good wheat and rye. France will come
back, not so much because she con-
sciously wills as because she always
has, and she can't help it. As ma
.ional habit II has its magnificence.
