BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Wednesday, March P By the Associated Pressl. The French refugees of the better class Of those who are departing from the zones of actual operations are com ing out clad in all their finery, which represents the styles of four or five years ago Then, there are sturdy peasants with wooden shoes and clumsily constructed clothes. riding in vehicles drawn by horses or donkeys or in carts pushed by men, and some are even in wheelbarrows. Upon these queer transports are stacked range assortments of personal belongings.
 There is deep pathos in all this, but none struck the correspondent more iforcibly than the appearance of a tiny girl who trudged in her wooden shoes along the dusty road. her eyes fastened anxiOusly upon a dirty rag doll perched precariously at the top of household effects which were be- in pushed along by-an old man Thls child was perhaps. representative of all the refugees-she was coming away with her most cherished posses SAOis lCA W do PlCPdl lO guard it at all costs; her aching feet were as nothing as. long as the doll was safe.

 These refugees are from the towns within the Somme battlefield and ad- joining it All these villages have been emptied of their inhabitants Some of the places. stripped of their popula- ton once before during the battle of the Somme in 1916, had gradually filled up again during the peaceful days of British occupation. The she'll shattered fields had once more been put to the blow and when the core spondent only recently toured the old region he found hundreds of acres of land under cultivation and affairs in many hamlets were proceeding almost as if there were no war It seems unbelievable that these pleasant val leys and wooded elevations are again in possession of the enemy and stand empty.
 Insofar as it was possible. every thing which might have been of use to the Germans has been removed with the refugees. In particular large numbers of cattle have been taken away by the owners, who patiently drove the beasts on ahead of them along the weary roads
