Fismos The latter YOU vote the worst
maulcd town YOU have so far seen, and
then head your car for what no Amer-
can tourist can afford TO miss-thc tra'l
of the Argonne offensive.
The line of march is via st. Mcnenouid
and Observation-Disclosures and Les Isiettes
To Bourucillcs, where worthwhile aignt~
seeing begins. The interlocking, hastily
thrown up. shallow trenches and the IN
tcrsecting seemingly haphazard wire en-
tanglcment improvisations indicate the
fierce motion warfare" character of
the fighting ID was straight. old fashioned
line bucking through this cleft in the dark
Arronnes On the road from Bourueilles to
Narennes, a hundrcd-odd two-passenger
runabout tanklets that helped to turn the
trick were lined up on both sides for the
hopcd-for inspection of President Wilson.
EMPTY GERMAN NESTS.
You could spend whole day to ad-
vantage noslng around Narennes, on tho
far edge of the Argonnes. After nesting
here for four years, the Germans, for well
known reasons, abandoned model summer
and winter quarters, in which units Of
the American Tank Corps were able
I'd billet themselves most comfortably.
The ArEonnCs here rise in a sheer rock
wall. against which. rising tier on tier, six
high. reached by flights of wooden steps,
the Germans had built what looks like
an elaborate cliff dwcllcTs settlement
neat wooden huts, lighted by electricity,
kitchens, shower bath cabins and all other
modern improvements.
But time presses and YOU speed on TO
what, according 10 the sIgnboard, was once
the town OF Montfaucon, probably the
finest specimen Oi utter rum IN tins whole

the topknot on the crest of high hill,
from which It was all but blown of.
Part Of 4 BRICK wall still standing is quite y
curiosity in MoHtfaucon.
From here You speed on To Dun, which
deserves To become famous as the business
premises of "Cnclc sam, junk Dealer.
Dun Is the great centre OF salvage opera
tIuns IN the entire zone, and the salvaged
war Junk, representing millions OF dollars
NJ value, covers more than square mile
nf ground Here YOU see acres OF wagon
wheels, neatly stacked up; acres Of shell
CASES acres Of shell scrap, Of cartouches' OF
old boots and shoes, Of khaki rags, OF
everything imaginable.
You do well to take in the last stage
~ the victorious American offensive along
thc Mellsc running through Stcnay, along
tlc kcadquartcrs of the German crown
prince to Sedan, where seeing the
hattlchclds ends.
