On the evening of Thursday, June 9th, I started for A in the North of France. in company with Major Dwight, hoping to call upon Colonel Barclay Parsons, who was many miles from that city but who might, thought, send an automobile for me as we had matters of importance to discuss. The train proceeded rap. idly and I arrived at o'clock in the morning and went to the Brit ish Officers Club for an excellent breakfast, during which we were greeted with a cannonading over head due to a visit from the boches who wished to photograph the town. The noises did not seem to disturb any of the breakfasters, so we did not even go out and look upon the scene which appears to be usual one.

I learned that the people had been ordered to leave the town every night, as a number had lost their lives in the recent bOmbardments, but most of them return for the day Some shops were opened. There were markets in the streets and a good deal of activity continued. The city was full of soldiers of various na- tionalities presenting an interesting spectacle.

They welcomed me as a member of the family, and the Sous Prefet insisted upon taking me out in his car through the courtry- side to see the American divisions.
