from one French city to another. the
shortest course, according to the same
excellent maps, taking US close back
of the French lines. All day there had
been binding snow; it was deep and
loose on the ground and the car was
going as fast as possible for safety.
Temporary wooden signs at cross
roads showed the direction of different
camps. The road plunged through a
forest; occasionally we passed SOL

proofs on its sheltered side. It was

snow; then even the huts ceased. Fer
a mile we ran behiad tapping wall

the right road.
Then we came to barbed wire af-
