PITIFUL WHITE CROSSES in THE
FOREST NEAR OLD VERDUN SECTOR

to show the devastation. We stopped
in villages in which there was not q
vestige of life. 1t is a terrible sight
Villages just heaps Of stone.
I've journeyed through one forest
about ten miles deep. Enormous shell
eraters were all about, in which our
house could easily be set; all about
were crosses, marking the graves Of
soldiers who had been buried where
they fell; pitiful sights, bringing the
war home to me with a vengeance
Some of the graves were IN groups,
marking a piece of hot action, while
there were thousands of single ones
The forest seemed to be full of them.
For the boys who are alive there will
be wonderful parades when they re-
turn, great cheering and all Of the re
joicing that accompanies a victorious
army, but amidst it all, shall remem-
Der those pitiful white crosses / saw
in that forest III France
you and the people in the United
States have not the slightest concep-
ton Of the work that has been done
by the American army over here. You
should see the miles of narrow gauge
railway that has been laid and the
thousands Of engines and cars, all
brought from the United States, and
in operation up there. And the thou
sands of trucks of all descriptions.
1t is astounding to see. We passed
miles and miles of this railway, busy
as can be with trains running up and
down, laden with crushed rock for
the roads, lumber, ammunition, food
and all of the rest of the supplies
to a large army.
"The particular part of No Mans
Land we crossed was mile and
half in width, while for several miles
on either side is devastated by shell,
but in this short space of time since
the armistiee was signed the Ameri-
can engineers have laid perfect roads
through all this, roads just as fine as
any highway you ever road on
when dusk came we started the
return journey, arriving at Toul at 8
o'clock and obtaining dinner at the
Red Cross hut. The hut was over
flowing with English prisoners of
war, who had just arrived from Ger
many The Red Cross was doing what
it ould for the poor devils, in the way
of clothing and food. Some had half
British and half American clothes on.
The British army is rushing uniforms
to some of their stories and they are
perfectly awful"

THREE SIMPLE DRINKS MON
DAY MORNING
Two Sent to Jail

Three simple" DRINKS furnished
all the business there was in the city
court Monday morning, likewise all
the court news for the newspapers.
There is never much of a story in a
simple" drunk, for a simple"
drunk is drunk that has lost the
power of loeomotion, the power of
determining direction, or some power
that prevents his reaching his desti-
nation, if he happens to know what
that destination is. One may cuss a
little or take up more sidewalk than
necessary and still remain in the cat
egory of simple" DRINKS. but when
one falls through plate glass win
dow, resists an officer, gets run over
falls down stairs or beats up his wife
then the simple" is changed to ag-
grevated, and thereby hangs a tale
But not so with a simple drunk there
is no tale

In a recent issue Of the Laporte
Clndiana) Argus, appeared letter
from Corporal R. H. Meade, with the
army Of occupation in France Cor
porai Meade is the grandson Of the
late Sanford Randall Of Putnam. The
letter IN part is as follows.
Yesterday was one Of a party Of
"A who made trip to the front. It
was one Of the greatest experiences /
ever had.
We left our camp at o'clock in
one of the big White cars which are
used for reconnaissance; a big pow
erful car, camouhaged, and holding
10 men. We went through St Bin
and after leaving there passed
through Neufchateau and stopped at
the little village of Doremy, Joan
of Arcs birthplace We visited the
little house where she was born and
the church in which she worshipped.
We all signed the register in her
home and bought puremous post
cards and other things.
Leaving Doremy we went on
through Gondoucourt and Commercy,
TO St. Mihiel. Here we first COM
meneed to see signs Of war The
road up to st. Michel was camoufag-
ed for miles and the fields on either
side were full Of trenches, barbed
wire, gun emplacements and dug-outs
Just before arriving at St Mihiel, we
crossed temporary bridge, put up
to replace one smashed by gunfre.
All about the ground was pitted with
shell holes, the result of the artillery's
search for the bridge And barbed
wire! ] never saw so much in my
life. Miles and miles of it.
I'VE found st. Mihiel smashed up
quite bit, but most Of the damage
had been done by FIRE. for nearly all
Of the roofs Of the buildings We're in
tact We went through the eathe-
dral which, with the exception of
window being smashed and part of
the steeple damaged by shell, has
not suffered a bit The clock, not
more than four feet from where the
she'll hit, is still keeping perfect time.
Most of the inhabitants are back and
things seem to be quite normal.
we left st. Mihiel about o'clock
spending the afternoon driving
through the front between there and
Verdun, crossing No Mans Land at
one point. 1t is utterly impossible to
describe the utter desolation Of that

pictures of it, but they do not begin

Major General Hale, who recently

Division" is delighted to discover the
progress that New Jersey has made in
the matter of creating good hunting
and fishing as a lure to outdoor sport
for the men of the state. He has offer
ed to cooperate to the fullest extent
possible with State authorities, both in
protecting game on the reservation and
in seeking to improve hunting and

Theatres.
Broken Blossoms

DEOkCh DlOSSOllc
Nothing in the history of motion
pictures is comparable with Broken
Blossoms" the newest ID. w. Griffith
creation, which, at the Garrick theatre,
Philadelphia, will doubtless have
greater success even than Hearts of
the World or 1.-The Birth of Nation"
Yet Broken Blossoms is in no way a
spectacular production. On the con-
trary the picture is marked by won
drous simplicity but, at the same
time, by the art that is only that of
the poet, the idealist, the painter.
Griffith has taken the drab Limehouse
district of London, with its teeming
population and its men and women OF
vicious tendencies and has, utilizing a
story, 1.-THE Chink and the Child" by
Thomas Burke, created the most soul
stirring tragedy that has ever been pre-
scented on stage or screen. The picture
grips with an intensity that is beyond
description and the performances,
given to the accompaniment OF espec-
tally we'll synchronized music, hold
the closest attention. Lillian Gish
has done the finest work of her career
and she shows that she Is tragedienne
with powers never before suspected.
Richard Barthelmess, as the chinaman
who takes the little sorely-tried and
brutality treated Lucy from the awful
brute-the prize fighter, Battling Bur
rows, and who brings the first JOY she
has ever known into her life, is superb
| in the character. Donald Crisp is the
burly, british prize fighter who is seer
in the prize ring fighting against Kid
Mccoy, whose real name is Norman
Selby. The other roles in the story are
admirably played. But it is in the at
mospheric nature of the production
that it especially appeals and tina
Griffith has done the marvellous. Such
Photographic effects as he has attained
are new to the screen and the tinted
pictures that are introduced through g
process that is his secret are rarely
beautiful.
Broken Blossoms" made its frs
big success recently in New York ant
it is now playing there at the Georg'
M. Cohan theatfe on Broadway, after
Moons and evenings, to crowds tina
find difficulty in obtaining seats. Thu
New York production with its beauti
full decorations for the theatre, it
handsome stage setting and its pro
logue, with living persons on the stage
is duplicated at the Garrick. Their
are four orchestras-t symphonic

| and the String Quartet. And whel
later in the season there may be de

pictures of entirely different type an
as admirable and as unusual as
Broken Blossoms.
At the Garrick there are daily mat

is urged that patrons be promptly i

is regarded as an essential to get eac

Florence

More than two score members of the
31Oth Infantry, now demobilizing at
Camp Dix, owe their lives to one of
the Lightning Divisions cited heroes,
private Francis A. Duffy, of Florence.
a member of the medical detachment
Of Company M. Private Duffy wears
distinguished service cross, presented
with the citation by Major General
McRae. Officers say that equal in
importance TO the actual valor he dis
played while under terrific shell and
machine gun fire, he dressed the
wounds of comrades in an attack at
Thiaucourt, on September %, was the
fact that he smiled all the time he was
working, his fine example of cheerful
ness and loyalty strengthening the
morale of the other soldiers. Duffy is
also cited for his valor in the fighting
at Grandpre and st. Juvian, on Octo-
Der Is, when he went over the top with
the first attacking wave, caring for the
wounded as they fell.

Random Remarks

uthere ever was any doubt about
the ACCESSIBILITY of having small
Board Of Freeholders it has long since
been dissipated. especially after the
proceedings of Wednesday which had
the appearance more Of a bear garden
than that OF body of men who were
directing the finances of the county
and engaged in making contracts in
volving the expenditure of large sums
Of money. Discussion over road mat
tiers showed that personal feeling and
desire to control were predominant.
Director Joyce, interested in road in
his neighborhood. openly expressed
his feelings on the manner in which
he had been treated. claiming that bad
faith had been shown toward him.
This particular road has Matched up
some bad blood during the last two
months. The matter was discussed
over the telephone by Mr.. Joyce and a
gentleman who wanted another road
The latter is said to have threatened
what he would do if Joyce did not
come under" and the director told
where he would get off in the case. For
the time being it looked as if Joyce
was ON top but Influence" at the head
of the heap seems to have showed the
Vincentown man under with a posi-
bility of putting road work in the
county ON the blink.
OF course all the members of the
present Board Of Freeholders will be
candidates for election to the small
Board. 1t does not make any differ.
ence il many OF them fought the
movement to have small Board. II
is bound to come and they all want u
get in. OF course there will be many
disappointed men. There are 81 mem
bers u the Board and there will be per.
haps 4 dozen more outsiders who will
striy FOR the prize. Great care should
be n lie in the selection of the men
who ..le to conduct the county business
mex ear. Already there are rumors
that men are to be chosen who will be
und he control of this or that man
or set of men. Such a thing should be
vigorously fought. Five men ought to
be elected who will give their entire at
tention to the business and who will
not be dominated by any outside in
fluence. Let us have a Board that
will consist of men who have minds OF
their own and who will be governed
entirely by their own good judgment
and not be pulled and hauled by any
one who has an axe 10 grind.
