IN THE TRACK OF.
 THE GOD OF WAR
By MARY MACLEOD MOORE
 CBritish Authoress.)

Despite war correspondents and war photographers, the whole dis trict which for over four years was watered with the blood of brave men, and wet with the tears of the innocent victims of the war, torn from their homes and flung into a strange world, had remained a place of mystery.
 It may be that our imaginations are at fault. It may be, also, that no man in whom war has become an awful commonplace could paint into his picture the small details which make an image live in the eyes of the others. He had become too accus- toned to the war zone to notice trifles which added together are so great and so tragic. But the poor things help one to realize was as something going down to the roots of life.
 Despite. then, all one has read, the war zone is a surprise in its mixture of the homely and the tragic, the sinister and the domestic, the de- yastated and the commonplace.
 You think of a battlefield as some thing remote and set apart: a terrible waste of barbed wire, trenches, ruins. graves and desolation. There are many SuCn put they are not all like this, though there are miles of country which have been fought over until ones very soul sickens at the thought of such Gethsemanes.
 Throughout France and Belgium in the places which are haunted by our gallant dead, you find also spots associated with famous battles and with wonderful feats of endurance with which are still mingled the daily lives of the inhabitants. You have read of the people who stayed in their old homes until literally driven away, or until the furious smelling brought the houses down upon them and made their dwellings heaps of rubbish. Yet you never realize this until you see the actual spots. and find beside a cellar and a heap of bricks Q small rough hut of boards and rusty medals where a family, which depleted through the war perhaps, is trying to start afresh. One of the striking memories of the war zone is of the little hut, standing very stark and light in a wilderness of broken houses and tumbled streets and with clean lace curtains at is windows.

 A Big Sensation
Mir. Michael Cox of 193 Central Ave-, This City Says CINOT Is the Sensation of the
 Plant.

MT. Cox, well and favorably known fin this city, is sure some booster for CINOT, the herbal tonic. He says: For years I have been a great suf- ferer with gastritis, had pains and gas, was badly constipated and felt run down and fagged out. l had rheumatic twinges as many of the employees of this place have. owing to dampness and gas. I heard of CINOT and gave 1t trial and l am now here for another bottle. l never saw so much health and happiness corked up in a bottle of medicine be- fore.
 "T am not the only one in our plant that is tickled over 1t can name a dozen or two, and, believe me. when it gets noised around there will be n hundred or more.'
 CINOT is n scientific remedy that will give results in backache, nerve ousness, rheumatism, minor kidney troubles. dizzy spells, headaches. bad blood. furred tongue and bad breath. It is a wonderful tonic and will take hold almost immediately. Hundreds are talking about it. Ask your friends about CINOT.
 The CINOT Expert is at Harti- gan's Drug Store, 1 Fairfield Ave, whore he is introducing this remedy to the Bridgeport public.-Advertise- ment.

RETURNS AS AMBASSADOR
 FROM JAPAN

ToLio. May 1-(Correspondenc or rhe Associated Press)-It Is under stood that the forthcoming return of vfscount Ishn the Japanese Amoas- sador to Washington. Is connected with a misunderstanding concerning the appointment of a financial ad- visor to China.
 The Japenese government appoint ed Baron Sakatani financial advistor to the Picking government. Before taking this step. however, the Wash fngton government was sounded" on the question. Niscount Ishh, 1t ap- pears, reported to Tokio that Wash ington had no objection to the ap- pointment. Later. Dr. Reinsch. the American minister to China, entered A protest to the naming of Baron Sa- katani.
 This led to inquiries at Washing ton. and 1t transpired that misun- derstandinE had occurred and that the American government had not ap- proved the appointment
 Viscount IshH, who had the con- trary impression, was much embar- rassed and requested a leave of ab- sence. The entire question may be explained as due to language dff1- culty.
 viscount Ishii is regarded as a very able diplomat and efforts will be made to induce him to remain in the ss|- vice as Japan's representative at Washington.

dians and Chinese clearing away war-rubbish and the gangs of Ger man prisoners mending the roads, of peasants, and of priests, of lorries and of cars, but crowded, urgent clamoring, there pass before your eyes the armies of men who have travelled and fought over them.
 More real than the peasants and the soldiers is that long procession or tramping men in khaki, the horses, the tanks the 1orries. Over head roar the shells, and from time to time Death drops into the midst of the struggling horses and the march, ing men. The wounded are lifted carefully, the dead are placed on one side and in the quickest possible time the procession moves on again.
 Then, as you travel the route through which men passed to death and to victory, the refugees are add ed to the crowds which fill the roads to the accompaniment of the never teasing deafening clamor of guns From all the stricken towns and yil- lages poured the people who were driven before the retreating enemy like cattle. when he turned them adrlft, back they poured again along the same roads, to look for what was once home Old men and women struggled to keep up, and died by the roadside, their faces lifted to the SKY; poor mothers carried pinched babies born under wire; sturdy girls orassed like carts with all the1r world possessions. Patient and stun- hed' or crying, and waiIing-au worn ana destitute, there swept down these haunted roads the martyrs to might and ambition

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-26

ing to legend, the dead walk the earth once more, how thronged must be these long white tree -bordered roads, which have echoed to the tramp of many thousand feet. The feet of those going to their death for a great cause; the feet of puzzled in- nocent people, who never knew for what reason their world was torn asunder.
 Belguim, but their sorrows are no to them. But France and Belgium are not accustomed to them. Is there no more we can do to help them, if only a thank offering, for the homes that are not destroyed, the gardens and fields which are not a waste and a graveyard, the towns that are not tottering ruins the hold places not defled, and the sons and daughters who are not dead nor dis hOuored?
 I saw curiously prophetic sight. In a deserted town man in uniform and a woman in black stood looking at some rubbish that had been, ap- parently their home In the dust knelt a small child intent upon build ing a house with the best pieces of brick within reach. It seemed like an alleGory for a new and better world must be built by those chiI- dren on the wreck of the shadowed lives of this generation, else men have died in vain.
