BELCIANS DESPAIR OF
EVER FINDING HOMES
All Means of Identifying Them Were
Shot Away by Shells
of War.

YPRES, Belgium, Dec. 2T.-Thou-
sands of Belgian families probably
never will find their former homes in
No Mans Land.
All means of Identifying them have
been shot away.
They will find homes, of course,
somewhere in that desert waste, per-
haps on what used to be somebody
else's home. But the exact location
of their own sacred bit Of ground may
forever remain a mystery.
Nearly fve years of ceascless bonn
bardment has obliterated the land
marks upon which the pre-war land
surveys were based. The old boun-
daries which distinguished one farm
from another have literally been
pounded into the earth-too deep for
resurrection. =
