1t is difficult for one in the British war
zone to adjust himself to the conditions
here. It all seems like horrible dream
this spreading German blight across
the cultivated planes OF Flanders with
their ancient, picturesque villages.
within few days all this has been

scended on the countryside. One meets
his civilian friends-the little folk and
the aged-from many hamlets making
their way back along the broad high
way leading westward from the tide of
inyas sion which is driving them from all
they hold dear.
They look back on the rolling fields
that separate them from their little
world. BY day bank Of grim gray
smoke from burning hamlets and from
myriad guns marks the zone along
which are struggling the splendid Brit
ish soldiers in their efforts to block fur.
