Devastation of Abandoned Lands

Motor-d driven plows are at work
in the fields rendering them i'm
passable for the enemy's artillery
and covers. Troops on the march
pass with wagons laden with pro-
visions and utensils. They have
left nothing in the positions evacu-
ated. What has not been de-
stroyed has been burned or
smashed. Soldiers have blown up
their shelters and rendered their
former quarters and wells useless.
The wells that remain will be de-
stroyed by explosives. Even cell
lars have been blown up. The
work was carried out methodic-
ally during weeks and months in
order not to arouse the suspicion
Of the enemy"
Mr.. Sharp says he was told by
the wife Of the mayor OF Nayon
that the most urgent need now
confronting the people OF that
district is implements to enable
them to take up the work OF re-
construction. They have been de-
prived Of every implement for use
In rebuilding or repair work. The
position Of the farmer Is no more
favorable. all the agricultural i'm
plements having been destroyed.
