poilu at the aviation camp.
"'There is no longer any fighting,

when some went for four days without
food or drink But a PARKWAY look comes
into his eyes as he thinks Of his home.
Seriously he asks when the Americans are
coming, when it will be Over" DeFlorez
tells him:
an my opinion it viii never end under
present conditions of fighting; the re-
sources Of men and money are greater
than the destruction. The economic col

a revolution, labor or socialistic troubles,

of airplanes TO fly across the Rhine when
the harvests are golden and could be de-
stroyed by incendiary bombs-some.hing
of this sort will be necessary
Ordered to Badonville, Def'lorez hears
at first hand tales of German atrocities:
"The old woman in whose house we are
quartered owes her life to the fact that
when the Germans occupied the town her
services were required by a German
woman.
"Our versatile midwife manages TO get
a bottle of Pinard, one cannot grumhe

Mayors wife had been shot for looking
out Of window: how a little boy who
had been sent by brute of an officer 10

turn, and while still alive was thrown
into the fire.
God damn the Germans, God damn
