An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
niles. in an interview Of the subject.

WAR OVER BUT
RUINS REMAIN
Desolation Is Awful; VIII
Take More Years to Re
build Than to Destroy.

With the American Forces in France
Dec. .-CCorrespondence OF the Asso-
ciated Press).-The country over which
the Americans fought their way north
west from Verdun presents a picture
OF ruin. destruction and desolation.
The villages are uninhabited and
homes are but sepulehers-
Torn by mines, causing huge era
tiers. gashed by bombardments which
made hundreds of thousands Of shell
holes and strewn with broken or aban-
doned guns. wagons. heaps Of ammu-
milton, helmets and all the other de-
bris Of four years of desperate fight
ing, the whole route oetrays the awful
effects OF war.
If it takes four years to win the
war" said some casual visitor to the
front. 1t will take six years 10 roll
up the barbed wire that has been used
in winning it."
The Ruins OF AvOcOurt-
AvocOurt was in ruins before ever
the American offensive started. For
a solid mile northward the road winds
across foothills that once were COW
cred with green trees. but now are
shorn and bare. Gigantic mines have
torn the road in twain and gouged
out holes so and more feet deep, 100
and more feet across.
To either side Of the road are the
remains OF what were once nvable
comfortable dugOuts and buildings.
blown into thousands Of pieces by dis
charges Of explosives when the enemy
retreated- Farther afield and as FAR
as the eye can reach across the low
hills are hundreds and thousands OF
shell holes. their craters overlapping,
big and little holes from missiles of
every character.
Material and Human Debris.
Everywhere is the cebrls Of the bat
tlefield. guns, helmets. articles OF
clothing, piles and heaps OF ammuni-
tlon, broken down and splintered wa
CONS. caissons and trucks. And, il one
goes over the scene enough, bodies
awaiting burial
The comparison between Malan-
court and Avocourt Is striking-be-
cause the former has suffered so much
more. Buildings no longer have even
a semblance OF their former state
Where in Avocourt walls at least still
stand here and there, in MalancOurt
everything has been RACED as though
with dynamite.
Not One Inhabitnnt Remains.
Neither MalancourJ. nor Montfaucan,
nor any one OF a score OF towns with
in the sector where the Americans op-
Grated has a single living inhabitant
leIt- IL IS the quintesSence OF deSola-
ton and nothingness.
The once beautiful wooded slopes
and hills are now torn and gashed
Great artillery commandments have
hillsides OF all but the stumps
OF their trees, which tower patheti-
cally against the sky without branches
or foliage. mere crippled relics Of their
former selves Many OF them have
been shattered by shells as by light
ming, others cut off as though by
bungling wood choppers unable to
fell a tree Clearly.

for him? Can We not at least investigate his case?
 in a case like this, we believe It our duty to see that the appeal is answered. Can we not ask the Governor to investigate? And in the event the unfortunate's condition is such as to warrant a discharge from the institution. we would be confering great favor upon that man and others possibly.
 There is no use to mince words, there must be something wrong about that institution. otherwise patients confined there would not all become almost desperate to getaway. That in- stitution may be all what the owners claim for it. but we should not rely too much on the own CTS sanity. There are no reasons why they cannot become deranged themselves, specially when there is motive to hold a patient there 1: such as the revenue from their keep. We cannot but believe that there is something wrong about that institution. Every patient who has ever come out, has complained. All kinds of reports about it have been made-mostly bad. We hear no complaints about other institutions of that knd-anywhere. Why then so many about that one? Concusively. we cannot afford to overlook Frank Adams case-and others ill the same condition. Meanwhile. let us get our forces together and when our legislature meets, demand the establishment of an institution to take care of our unfortunates at home.

THE WORLD WOULDN'T MISS THEM

Yesterdays dispatches told us that Secfe- tary Baker backed by the chief of staff, General March headed the opposition in the enactment of law extending the army draft age limits; and presumably won the day as later we were told the senate military committee had decided to oppose it also.
 The purpose of the extension as we under stand it. was to reach men above and below the present age limits. We agree with the opposition as to the extension of the age limit below, but we are decidedly in favor of increasing the limit above. As matter of opinion we believe there should be no limit and for several reasons.
 There are possibly over million men in the country today above the prevailing limit who should have been sent to the front first of all, and they are the bachelors passed 31. These men-the great majority are single because of selfshness. They make up what we choose to call useless bunch Viewing the question from this angle. they should have been the first sent to the front. Men from 30 to 5 single. should make the best soldiers and being useless otherwise we see no reasons why they should not be made to go If they should fall on the battleields. they should not lose much, because they hay: enjoyed the best part of their lives and society wouldn't miss them.

bundle was taken to the headquarters,

he hurried TO withdraw them, but on
