WITH THE BRITISH ARMY AT
THE FRONT, September 13.-Since
the offensive north of the Somme be-
gan on August q the British have re-
gained about thirty towns and viii
lagos which had been in German
hands since 1914. These towns, with
the single exception of Rumaucourt,
had been evacuated of all civilians be-
fore the British troops arrived, but
the forward movement has permitted
many of the French civilian inhabi-
tants to return to their homes, which
before the offensive were too close to
the front line to be habitable.
Paper Used for Glass.
In the past few days I have had an
opportunity to see and talk with
numbers Of those returning home on
their two,;wheeled carts loaded with
their household belongings. They
are a very happy people. even though
their homes are mostly In ruins.
There is rarely a house in which a
window pane remains, and there is
no supply of glass anywhere near to
replace the loss. From Amiens. where
millions of windows have been shat
tered, to the smallest hamlet in the
region paper of some sort is used as
substitute for glass panes.
What these refugees really need. and
what millions more will need if the
enemy is pushed much farther back
in the coming weeks, is window glass.
The need will continue long time, as
1t is almost impossible to obtain glass
on account of it's weight and the diff
ficulties in its transportation, because
all that is available is needed for
military uses. A suitable substitute
for glass which would not only per-
nit light to enter but to prevent cold
air from coming in would be god
send to these people who have been
reduced to meager resources by four
years of exile from their homes, and
it would be more than appreciated.
It would be better than being fur
nished with houses of the knock
down variety, for thousands of
homes could be made comfortable dur
ing the winter months with the
empty windows filled with something
of the sort.

Raked Hundreds Of Acres.

-Burying parties from the salvage
corps have literally raked hundreds
OF acres of ground to clean up the
battlefields and the roads. bury all
the dead properly. collect everything
left on the ground that can possibly
be utilized, and marked the location
of "duds" or unexploded shells for the
attention Of the brave royal engineers
whose mission it is to deal with these
machines.
] have seen the salvage corps ad-
vancing across the fields in a mile
long line with the men five yards
apart. At given distances or upon
signals they stop and pile up what
they have been able to collect in the
shape Of rifles, helmets, uniforms, bits
Of cloth, leather, bent tin pannikins.
ammunition and everything else.
These piles are afterward carried to
the roadside, where salvage dumps or
depots are established. Eventually
all this war debris will be sent to a
base.
This system is not only an econom-
ical measure which will save millions
Of pounds sterling, but it effectively
cleans up the ground so that the
shell-holed farms will be ready for
cultivation II. indeed, anything be-
sides blood-red peoples will ever grow
again in these fields where the death
harvest has so often been reaped.

British Soldiers Lend a Hand.

AS to other things, wherever civil
ians are returning, British soldiers
lend them a hand in helping to restore
their former homes. The other day
I saw lame soldier of the labor bat
talon carrying heavy mirror taller
than himself after an aged French
lady who responded happily when
asked her if she was returning home.
Villages through which battles
have been fought in the past four
years exist only in name. Sometimes
there is not a trace of the buildings
that once stood there. but hundreds
of towns and villages, including the
thirty which the British have freed
after four years Of bondage. although
they contain ruins and plenty Of evil
dence of the war, are still quite
l1abitable, with many firesides that
the former residents would prefer ito
any other.
The process of cleaning up all the
retaken villages has not yet been
completed, but much has already been
done. notably in the fourth army area,
where the August attack was
launched and still continues, with the
army having advanced twenty miles
in a months time, counting the dis
lance along the arrow-straight road
from Vil1ers Brettoneux to. Vermand
In this region the Australian and
English troops have removed the
rubbish Of battle from the streets and
walks, swept out the filth the enemy
left in the houses and even made
temporary repairs on the buildings.
