Forest More Than 1000 Years

Paris. Oct. 1I-When the Belgian
troops broke through the formidable
enemy defense and occupied the fam
Gus forest of Houthulst, they found
that great wooded area had been de-
stroyed. Not a single tree remained
standing throughout the vast domain.
Houthulst dates historically from
the Ninth Century. 1t extends from
Dixmude to- Ypres and covered 400
square miles. Throughout the entire
region utter desolation prevails, the
charred stumps of trees extending for
miles over the blackened landscape.
