SOLDIERS GO THROUGH RUINS
They Acquire Habit Of Observation

Headquarters American troops with
the British Forces in France, July IS.
-(Correspondence of The Associated
Press) American soldiers during
their brief leisure moments, are wan
dering through ruins and over fields
made familiar to students of history
bv centuries of wars and revolutions.
Some of them have alrea fought on
the scene of some Of Napoleon's OPP
erations in the region of the Marine.
Some are training over ground
where the Normans fought the
French and where the French fought
the Spaniards. Later, they will, per-
hans. be marching in line of battle
over the country where the French
and the Germans have fought again
and again and where they will help
the French and the British and the
last of the wars to devastate the
smiling valleys of France for centur'
les to come.
Nearly the entire history OF France
Is pictured all over the areas occupied
by the Americans in ancient churches
which. along with object lessons in
history will give the attentive soldier
an enlarged appreciation Of art and
architecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profting from these opportunities, an

Fultons agreement to meet Demp-
