 On the German side of the river is a dugout, built to resist the heaviest pojectiles. and cool even on hot day It was a fayOrite spot for the Ger mans when the fighting was fiercest, but now serves the more useful pur- pose of a refrigerator. Instead of the hunks and chairs which once lined it's side one now sees pile upon pile of beer cases, filled with refreshment for the soldier guard at work cleaning up the ground.
 Behind the dugout, the bodies Of three soldier two Belgian and one German-were buried on the bank of a tiny pond, made by bursting shells Little crosses mark the resting place and over them poppies nod.
 Along the Yser one may plainly see the effects of the hard fought struggle. Here and there the top of dugout has been crushed in, and further along the duckboards from an abandoned trench may be seen sticking thru the mud. Within sight of the bridge, the muzzle of a field piece rusted and useless, points to the sky.
 Much of the debris of the battle field has already been collected. Miles upon miles of barbed wire has been reclaimed from the entanglements, German and allied, which stretched in front of the lines but at some points along the river bank the old entanglements still remain, rusted and twisted on stakes which are fast fall ing into the ground.

 The people of DiXmude, like the people of every other destroyed Bel gian town, are gradually returning to the ruins of their homes.
