The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1919-03-20

During hos&;iities the refugees
were driven from their homes by
German bombardment, or, it they
attempted to remain In the path OF
h Huns advance. they were made
civilian prisoners and deported to
Germany 70 work In the Boches
fields and factories. With the ar
mistice thoir thoughts and ambi
tions turned toward the places they
once knew as home, and following
tho irresistible call Of their hearts
they came back to find nothing but
desoIation and ruin.
All over that immense waste Of
territory known as the devastated
and liberated areas, they can be
found today living m dugouts that
served ~ shell shelters for the con-
tending armies, In rudeIy construct
ed shacks and dark cellars.
WHY 90 THEY STAY?
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY
PLACE THEY CAN CALL HOME!
