In BeIIeau
Wood

"Ail the marks of most savage fight ara
still clear in the wood itself. At the foot
of every tree is a concrete dugout for
machine gunners, for the wood is simply
a machine-gun nest, and these were all
battered by artillery fire. All kinds of re-
mains and rubbish were lying about
pieces of uniform, remains of belts and
equipment, ammunition cases, toothbrushes
and toilet articles, Very lights, cartridges
and hand grenades by the hundred and
great many unexploded shells of every size
and description-and the wealth of realism
brings home to one most forcibly the fin
ish fight in which the United States marines
drove out of the wood for all time picked
divisions of the Prussian Guards.
Captain Cooke told US that it took
week to clear that particular corner of the
wood where we entered. The American
troops which first passed over it didn't
thoroughly mop it up, and when those in
the first waves were obliged to fall back
upon their supports so as not to be cut
to pieces by machine-gup fire further on,
they made very thorough job of it,
Chateau Thierry itself suffered little
because of the lack of artillery lombard
ment there. The town was No Mans Land
for about month, occupied by French and
Germans alternately and patrol work and
street fighting were nearly constant, but
the place was never shelled to any extent
during the days before our boys went
in there and stopped the German march
on Paris for good.
ION the return trip to Paris we left
Chateau Thierry at 80 p. M, and we first
stopped about three kilometres away, at
Vaux. Captain Cooke was especially
anxious to show US this village, which we
had driven across without stopping in the
forenoon, because there took place the first
attack planned entirely by American SIS
officers and carried out Wiz. eaea EgAa.

! we did. No private cars are allowed to go
, to the former front because there is such
great danger to the uninitiated from un-

No Mans Land.
'sTo visit all of the battlefelds of great
est interest to Americans would take ten
or twelve days. The motor trip from raris
to St. Mihiel and T'oul and return occupies
at least two days. We covered Chateau
Thierry and part of the Aisne district in
one day, travelling 140 miles between s
a. m and $3.50 p. m. Captain Cooke of .he
United States Information Bureau was our
escort and we left Paris IN a forty-horse
power American car going by way of Livry
and Claye to Meaux, where rested few
minutes. Then We drove to La Fertc-
sous-Jouarre and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
which we reached at 1880 a. m.
CAT Montgivrault we left the main road
for Lucy-le-Bocage and continued straight
on to Torcy, which now is a village but
in name only. We drove through the COM
plete wreck O. this pleasant little French
village and to the village of Bcllear,
which is in the same condition, and at
length reached the edge of Belleau Wood,
or the Wood of the United States Marines,
as it is called now. The trip is most in
teresting from there on.
Leaving the car, we walked through the
wood, which crowns the crest of rather
sharp rise of ground, beginning at its
centre. 1t was so very muddy as to make
walking difficult business and thick
bushes impeded odA way. Before entering
the wood we saw the ground the re-

The Passport
Problem

On returning to this country the traveller
has his passport taken up, whether or not
the time limit on it is about to expire. The
general manager of a well-known tourist
agency, for instance, recently visited France
with passport good for six months and
extensible up to two years, and thought to
retain it when he reached New York on his
return, for he is likely to be going across
again almost any time. Uncle Sam thought
differently, however, and took it up in order
to keep it in good shape for him against an
other trip.
The State Department is issuing pass
ports to Oriental countries, except Siberia,
very readily, especially if ones GRAND is
commercial and encourages travel to Latin
American countries except Mexico A num-
Der of good sized parties are to visit Japan
and China and the Philippines shortly.
Nor is it hard for those whose visit to
France has some business purpose in view
to obtain passports now. A party of boot
and shoe men has gone to the Continent to
look over conditions pertaining to their line
and find where American shoes and what
kinds will find market. The Cleveland
taarber of Commerce is about to send a
PARTY over there with the sanction of the
government also

The Agencies
Make Ready

The big tourist agencies are most close
~ in touch with this sort Of thing and their
representatives agree that it will be carly
autumn, at least, before anything of this
sort will become feasible. For one thing.
the roads all over the fighting front are in
a terrible state and repairs are apt to be
slow. This alone will make it all but i'm
possible for any one not we'll acquainted
with military affairs to make any extended
tour of the front and it is hardly likely
that this will be encouraged. Much more
probable it is that travellers will be advised
to proceed by train to centres like Lille,
Amiens, Rheims, Nancy, Sedan, Strasbourg
or Belfort and cover the battehelds in the
vicinity by motor trips of from twenty i've
to forty miles, returning to the central
town for the night.
1t might be supposed that motor trips
over the interesting part of France would
become as feasible as any other mode Of
seeing the battlefields, but this is not So
not alone because Of the condition of the
roads, but for the reason that there are
very few hotels left in condition to care
for motor tourists, OF any other kind; and
the people themselves would not be apt to
welcome rich tourists travelling in motor
cars and bringing with them all the neces-
stiles while their own state is so miserable
as to compel sharp contrasts.
1t must not be thought, though, that
tourist travel to France--and to England,
too, for that mattcr-wll be discouraged
for very long. Just as soon as the affairs Of
the French straighten out sufficiently to
permit of it and the rolling stock of the
French railroads is put in shape they are
anxious that Americans should have every
opportunity to learn at first hand the re-
suits Of the Hun onrush into France, and
whenever tho Trench are ready for Amcri-
can tourists our State Department will
gladly issue them passports. Next year.
1920, should see conditions in France rel
ativey Strengthened out and settled down,
and then for time there will doubtless be
more tourist business than all the steam
ship lines which can get their services
running smoothly can care for. The wait
ing list is already extensive.

The chief difficulty is one of passports
M present the United States government
fatty refuses to issue passports to tour
lists. Only men and women engaged in
work which has some connection with the
war and to those whose errands are strictly
commercial or of nature likely to be
of some benefit to this country are given
these highly necessary pieces of paper.
Even then the passports are limited as to
the time within which they are good--very
limited, some of them-and to get extern
sions on the other side is wellngh impos-
sible. Besides, it is a difficult and weari-
some matter to get n passport vised in
London to permit one to go to France
and the paper has to be further indorsed
in Southampton and Havre both.
