DIFFICULT TASK
 FACING THE FRENCH
ONLY $50 OUT OF 1e,000 HOUSES DESTROYED BY THE HUNS HAVE BEEN RECONSTRUCTED IN THE LAST TEN MONTHS.
By Associated Press.

FRENCH FRONT. March l5.- How difficult is the task of recon structing the districts devastated by the Germans during their retreat of last March is demonstrated by the fact that of the 19OO0 houses des- troyed and $500 damaged in the de- partment of the Somme only $50 have been reconstructed during the ten months since elapsed. Approxi- mately the same state of affairs pre- vails in the department of the Disc.
 To provide for the immediate wants of the population, however, l. 500 portable houses have been erected in the Somme and it is estimated that an average of POO more can be put up each month.
 Every kind of labor available is employed in the work, and in the midst of the heaps of bricks and stones may be met squads of sol diers, gangs of workmcn connected with the Department of Roads and Bridges, and prisoners of war, al though the latter arc always engaged at a distance of at least 20 miles from the firing line.
 Among these working forces are seen representatives of French. American and British charitable or ganizations which havd undertaken to assist in the reconstruction work by the giving Of funds and by labor On one day while travelling about the district the corresbondent of the As. sociated Press has met members oi the American and British Quakers societies, women of the American Red Cross Reconstruction branch and women from the British society known as the French Wounded Emergency Fund All these were either working at manual labor them selves or experimenting gangs oi civilian laborers for whom they had obtained permission to enter the wal zone for the purpose of carrying ou' this very urgent work.
 The first thing done, in each des troyed village is to erect or repair a small number of houses and build ings to form a center around which the later operations can be carried on. 4 temporary city hall, school and general store make the nucleus and around them are built series oi provisional shelters for the inhabi. tants who have remained and for those who might return from exile As far as possible materials found or the spot among the ruins arc utilized but much also has to be brought from the rear and for this the military all thorities provide transport.
 Great efforts have been made tC put the land again under cultivation This has been a difficult task, but the work is progressing satisfactor. lily with the help of gifts of agricul- tural implements from charitable SO cieties and municipalities in the in terior which have not suffered from the war.
 The Germans drove off with all the animals in the district, but since the reoccupation the farmers in the Somme have acquired either by gift or purchase 500 COWS, 800 horses, 4C bulls, 785 sheep and a few hogs chickens and shcep-dogs. so that all though much remains to be done, the work of construction is under way.
