THE ARGONNE TODAY
AND ITS REMINDERS
The route of the last battle of thu
Argonne, from Grand Pre- to tn,
heights of Cote de Chatillon, is mucl
as it was on the day the guns wer'
stilled, save that the dead no longe:
lie in the field. Abandoned equip
ment and field pieces are still there
with slender vines beginning to craw
over them as if to explore this quee
device of mortals and everywhere
there is the wire, it's barbed tendril
dragging along the ground OF stick
ing stiffly in the air, creaking an
swaying in the wind, like the gropin,
tenacles of some spidery monster seek
ing prey. Remnants of the old wa
days, these.
And the trees, poor wrecks of thei
former selves, their green arms tina
shot upwards to the sun gone. Onl
charred stumps remain. This the beau
tiful forest Of the Argonne, silen
with the quiet Of the tomb today
where once pandemonium shriekee
The old German dugouts are emptie
of their boastful tenantry. A riff
with fixed bayonet, rusty now an
harmless, leans against a sodden wal
and there is a litter of things, dente
mess kits, torn clothing soaked wit
rain, empty bottles, soldiers belts tina
proclaim their wearers "Furchtlos un
Treu," and rusty buttons that shout
Scott nit uns!"
And silence, awful and penetrating
fills the Argonne forest. Not eve
a bird call nor the rattle of a ston,
dislodged by a football, nor the null
muir of water. Even the wind make
no sound, for there are no leaves
resist itse passage. There is a grea
shell hole filled with stagnant rain.
