every gun they found, broken or in
serviceable condition, as well as all
war material, and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
in army trucks. The colored fighters
received Instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch il, but to put
up little stick beside it with note
so that the munition salvagers could
find it later.
The doughboys soon made the dis
covery that the. Germans in their
flight abandoned hundreds Of machine
guns and even large pieces Of artillery
which the Yankees in their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded in Box Cars.
One of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
in the Argonne forest. No information
was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save in his flight
toward the Rhine, but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one town located in the rear Of
the battlefield there is pile of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger
mans, that would more than fill the
hold of large ocean freighter. 1t
was estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had. been piled in that vii
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Salvage Work Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 per cent
more war booty in the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due. it is said, to the rapidity of
the American advance and to the
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerors.
The work of cleaning up the Ar
gonne battlefield, however, has been an
expensive one, although vast quanti-
ties of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. 1t has cost more than
100000 to complete the task, but
the work has been success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.

The greatest strength ever shown by

The sentiment of the meeting. as ex
pressed by several members. was that
the liberal movement of the society
was clearly excmpliiied in the general
attitude of the members in approving
the activities in the war of all those
who were prompted by the sincere die

The spirit of the Friends in gen

TO trust TO each individual to follow his
own conscience. One Of the great things
that has come to the Friends out of
the war is that we can work side by

diametrically opposite. Unity means
