ARRAS, France, August ia great
deal of the documentary history of

Some Of il is known to have been
burned, while there. are hopes that a

removing all these papers. ! ~.

headquarters of the French army imme.

n careful search for all official registers
and archives of all kinds in the devas

manuscript has been uncovered from
the ruins, INCLUDING half half
torn and blood stained scraps of paper;
some of them give clues to important
subject matter; others rendered abso

express great alarm at the disappear

deeds, parish registers, records of vita.

everyday transactions Of life between
French people, historical documents OF

authorities, who are inclined to give
preponderating Importance to purely
