In the United States, are now but a
tangled, twisted mass of structural
steel and broken stone. The wfllful
demolition was scientifically planned
and systematically carried out. This
after the removal of all such mechan-
ical and electrical power units as

l~iciousness and efficiency with which
this crime against French industry
was carried out Is almost unbeliev-
able.
Surface Structures Raxed.
.In the coal districts of Pas de
Calais and Nord, a sector fought over
from the beginning to the end of the
war, changing hands frequently, bonn
barded all the time, all surface struc-
lures whether of town, village or min
ing enterprise have been RACED. Ar

Loos, Courriere, centers of coal-min-
ing activity but a few years ago and
the m~ainsprings of French industrial
life are gone, but the indomitable
spirit OF France survives and already
plans are laid for the future. Bruay,
at the western edge of the known coal
field, was not in the fighting zone and
its output has been steadily main
tanned, but going eastward the fright
fulness is more and more appalling,
for the hate of the Hun left Its mark
on the mines during his forced retreat.
The coal measures are overlain by
w~ater-bearing strata, necessitating
special methods of shaft sinking and
support to keep the mines dry. The

But this does not begin to tell the
tale of the heroisIn of the mule, for
eign and domestic. Mules from France
to the number of 9,341, with GIFT from
England and 1924. from Spain, kicked
because it was cheaper to let them
kick oyer there than to give up more
money to indulge the propensities of
our homegrown stock and pay their
way r In this way 29,063 allied
and neutral mules served alongside
the 29,910 free born hybrids on the
fields of France, making 5S,973 of the
stubborn breed who did not look for
greener graves.
124,137 Mules Did Their Bit.
IT the war had lasted longer this
tale of the American mule at the front
would not have been so short. 1t may
be said that many waited In vain for
Mr.. Hurley to give them a chance to
compete against the sides Of the ship
from the inside with the submarines
without. Experienced muleteers say
that the n was about as dangerous
as the other. The mules that did their
bit over there numbered in all 124,137.
In the flaming record of the wal the
American horse tops the mule In num-
bers, but only slightly. on account of
the meager use of cavalry and the diff
fculty of transportation. There were
1921 mounts and 1897 draft horses
ir service when the war broke out.
There were SS.471 of the former and
216,000 of the latter purchased, of
which G6.454 and II $3.50, respective
". were bought in the United States,
1870 and 81 AGO in France, 2,433 and

5.439 mounts and 1896 for artillery
and draft use were sent abroad. The

In a preliminary report to Van FL.

early In the war the German hordes
swept southwark through the iron
basins Of French Alsace and Lorraine,
and for nearly four years this re-
nowned mining AREA was held and ex-
plotted by the invaders. Many Of the
employees we're made captives and
compelled to work in the mines under
German direction. The international
