GERMAN FRONT is =
IN STATE OF FLUX


during the last forty eight hours and
saw the sky abaze to the eastward all
night, the smoke and flames arising
from fires started by the enemy in the
towns and villages from WRrneton to
south OF Armentieres. AZ the smoke
drifted before the wind the whole sector
was hidden.
The Germans are old hands at de-
stroying everything they can't use. re-
CARELESS of military Justification. They
will leave behind in this northern
country the same shameful wilderness
they left when they retreated last year.
Few things in the war moved our men
as did the sight Of beautiful Bailleul.
What five months ago was thriving
town to-day Is ruin as complete as
Ypres itself. There is not enough left
OF the town hall TO be recognised, nor
Is there anything left Of the cathedral
except few jutting fragments.
Destruction Is Amazing.
SO incredible did 1t seem that this
was indeed the Bailleul square that
had to ask one of the French official
photographers II 1t was the same place.
Bailleul was n solid. prosperous town
which was not easily destroyed. The
houses were not like those in many of
the northern villages, and were made
of stout brick and stone instead of
plaster and lath.
Whole avenues of these fine brick and
stone houses have been pounded into
a crumpled mass. Meteren differs from
Bailleul only In the fact that 1t Is
smaller. The ruin there. while no less
complete. Is less impressive. Meteren5
in fact. is no longer even skeleton
town: nothing but patch of the earth's
surface covered with broken buildings.
So 1t will be In all the country the
Germans are now leaving, the smoke
columns and fires we saw to-day tes-
tifying to the bitterness in their saw
age. brutal hearts.
How far the enemy will be compelled
to go back Is hard to guess. His re-
sistance has stiffened recently. but not
withstanding this we are continuing TO
push him back. At KENNEL he made
no resistance, our observers first report
ing evidence of retirement Friday
evening. That night the bulk of the
fighting force was withdrawn. leaving
only a handful OF men from each COM
pany with machine guns.

back some Of our old guns. together with
quantities of ammunition, which the
Germans, under tho fire OF our guns.
were. unable to remove. Our airmen,
flying sometimes as low as fifty feet,
hArassed the retreating Germans con-
stantly.
When the King was here not long ago
tho commanding officer Of the corps now
In charge of KENNEL Hill promised him
that when he next visited the place he
would, have view from the hill. That
promise has been made good.
Great as is this northern success, it is
secondary to the fact that We have cut

Did not the brewers make quar-

Major Humes.
