 beneath the large. flat stones that
 made the walk from the road up to
 the front step of his house. Then, with the other villagers, the man fled.
 Many months passed. while the Ger
 mans bombarded the village. At
 last the German wave retreated, and
 once more the old man drew near
 to his little village. There was
 nothing. nothing left. After long
 time, he located the street, which
 was on the very edge of the town,
 but could not find the cellar of his
 own house. Great shells had fallen.
 Exploding in the cellar they had blown the bricks away. Other shells had fallen hard by and blown dirt to fill what once had been a cellar. The small trees in front of his house had been blown away and replaced | by shell pits. In Paris Ambassador Sharp told me that the aged man had up to that time failed to locate his house. much less his treasure.
 But what trifles light as air are houses.
 A Broken Man
 At the officers chateau, late one night after returning from the front, a general and a captain were re- counting their experiences. Among
 other incidents was this one. During
 the winter of 1915. months after the Germans had occupied that territory, several English officers and a young French captain were recounting their experiences. In saying the farewells 1 before each man went out to his
 place in the trenches to look after
 his men, the English boy exclaimed:
 Next week at this time I will be home. Five more days and my
 weeks leave of absence comes Then
 suddenly remembering that the
 French captain had been there a long
 time he asked when he was going
 home. To which this low answer. T
