REV. EWING SEES DEVASTATED FRANCE

Rev. George H. Ewing, formerly pastor of the First Congregational church, Norwich Town, who is now in Y. M. c. A. work in France gives a vivid description of the devastation wrought by war. in that country in letter he sends from Arras to the Editor and Readers of The Bulletin" He writes as follows:
 Arras, France, Feb. A, 1919.
 Dear Friends:
 To travel from Paris to Arras is to transport one self in a four hours railway journey from a refined civil lzation into blasted barbarism. We have said Goodbye to comforts and are welcomed to a campers rude life with indefinite if not infinite opportunities for Christian see'vice. To journey north from Paris is speedily to gain one vast scene of lurid devastation. 1 had been reading in French newspaper the story of the attempt upon Clemen- ceau's life as we whirled through the
 first less interesting miles. Then sud-
 denly 1 sprang to the window trans
 fixed. All that l had read of fierce
 and appalling destruction was being
 verified before my eyes. On either side
 the track as we sped along the fields were gouged as by some gigantic steam shovel. Big holes and little holes, va rious readings and writhing contor- tions where deadly missiles had torn their ravaging course in different di- rectionS. Endless entanglements of rusty barbed wire strung on slender iron rods served to fence off No Mans Land, while the wrecked remains of trenches ran everywhere their devious courses. Dugouts in every sandbank and imDrOViSed cellars told a barrow ing story of the fierce fight for life that has extended over four fearful years. Trees were numerous but SC i far as 1 could observe not one of them l is left alive. Now and then we came 1 up little villages laid we'll nigh fiat and | utterly deserted. For miles and miles scarcely a sign of human life, and only l the awful ravages of war.
 l And then we came to the grim and 1 spectral remains of what was once ths 1 large city of Albert, now left without l a house standing and utterly uninhab- 1 itable-one great enchanted ruin witt 1 the cathedral tower looming fearsome- | ly in the distance. Our train passed ! what was once the railroad station l the brick platform of which alone re- mains; and we never stopped. A city 1 become "a wilderness and a place fol 1 jackals' Sahara desert where once l 1ourished, so recently, a luXuriant civ 1 ilization. I have been reading Maurice ! Barre's "The Faith of France ii which he has passage that reads: l "The fieetest beast that can drag Us
 to perfection is Sorrow" Through ] what dark avenues of sorrow, through what articles of death must these pool people have passed on their via dolo- rosa to Perfection!

FAkIR WORKS DEAF
 AND DUMB DODGE

Many of the people of the West Side section of the city were humbugged into giving money to a man who ap- peared at their back doors during Wednesda1 morning. The man who was fairly we'll dressed represented himself to be 8, deaf mute who had been discharged from the Cleveland hospital and was on his way to Ban gor. Me, where he would get work as steam filter. He conveyed his mes. sages in writing and collected quite q sum. At one place he visited d young woman recognized him as a man who had ridden up from New London on the same trolley with her the afternoon before and at that timt, he did not appear to be either deaf or dumb.
 The police looked for the man on Wednesday but in some manner he escaped from their hands.

OBITUARY.
John L. Gillian,

John Liddell Gillian, one of the best known merchant tailorS in this city for over 30 years, died at II 30 Wednesday night at his home, 351 Main street, where he had been in failing health for the past five weeks. He had devSted himself to business very closely for the last year, due to difficulties in ob- taining help because of war conditions. with the result that overwork had broken down his strength, affecting his heart and stomach.
 MT. Gillian was born in Macduff, Banff, Scotland, on May T, 1858, the oldest of 12 children of George Gillian and Helen Liddell. After his marriage at Dundee, Scotland, on Nov. Is. 1882, he came with his; wife to this country in 1886, locating in Greeneville on Sept. 1st of that year. For many years he was in business at the corner of Tenth street and Central avenue but in 1901 removed to 351 Main street, where he has since lived and conducted his mer- chant tailor business on both ladies and gentiemen's garments. He was an expert in his line and commanded some of the best trade of the city.
 He is survived by his wife, a sister Mrs. Otto Corrigeux, of Bean Hill a sister in Toronto, four sisters and four brothers in Scotland.
 He was a member of the United Congregational church and of Ionic camp, No. 1894, Modern Woodmen. He had also belonged to Masonic bodies and the Foresters in Scotland. He was a man who made his home his chief interest and was a citizen ot high character who was held in sin cere regard by all with whom he was associated.
 Mrs. Maria w. Rouse.

And then Arras! Arras! Once city half as large again as Norwich, over and again the subject of fierce bombardment, the inhabitants harass- ed and terrified and finally driven away. We swung into a railroad sta- tion battered and bruised beyond de- scription, all glass shattered, the sub stantial architecture of the facade ut terly disfigured, jagged ruin, and the train shed the merest skeleton of iron work. Not a building in the city in- tact, everywhere the marks of desola- tion and abandonment-windo glass gone, great rents through roofs, front walls gone, side walls gaping wounds that disclose the havoc wrought within. The city has been terribly shot up but it. has not been razed to the ground like Albert. As always, the public buildings were the target for the Ger man shellfire, and the Hotel de Vile is an unrecognizable mass of ruins, though it's scared tower still rises a broken and menacing specter to com- mand the open square about it. As the frost has been coming out every now and then stone or brick or mass of mortar comes tumbling down from crumbling wall or cornice and we are warned to walk in the middle of the street.
 Does this all convey to you any clear piqture of a dead city? Let me modify the impression. It is a city that was dead and is aliVe again. A prostrate people are struggling to their feet just writhing and travailing in the throes | of a new birth. These people 'are a wonderfully recuperative people, after | the foul blows of the enemy springing erect with the residence of youth, wreathed in the smiles of hard-won victory. winning their perfection | through wales of sorrow These streets once so mournfully deserted teem to- l day with life and hustle and activity. Stores are being opened and traffic l with teams and automobiles resumed. l Houses are being rendered habitable where possible. English soldiers, l French civilians and American Y. NJ
 c. A. men are being leilleted in leaky houses minus window glass and
 strewn with debris. The original in garrets or rooms darkened with cloth
 and wreckage all about them, yet dain- ] tily shod and decked with Partisan finery. Hope is written on the faces of 1 these proud people who marched SC ] fearlessly to war and now so jauntily return though maimed and impoverish- ed to their ancient homes and haunts l 1 shall hope in the not distant future to write to you of the welfare work fol the Chinese labor battaIionS for a share i'll which I have only just ar rived in this despoiled yet not dejected city of northern France.
 I Very sincerely yours,
 GEORGE H. EWING. Arras, France.
