seed grain had been so successful
that next year new granary was
built, new truck bought and equip

added.
Another replied that his success in
selling little pigs had been so great
through local papers that he had been
unable to meet the demand.
A third replied that a small ad in
the county seat paper sold all his

From the Stars and Stripes.
 @ all the chateaux of France .O into whose tapestries the
 threads of our history have been woven these past two years, none is quite so rich in it's Franco American memories as the Chauteau Bellevue. That is the century, old brown-t tow cred house, which, from the high ground just north of Frenois, looks down across the valley on the high spires and red roofs of Sedan.
 There are others far older, many chauteaux far more beautiful. But none is more crowded with the ghosts of great hours in the lives of Germany, France and America. Its walls bore witness to the ultimate humiliation of France in 1870; half century later the same walls saw the dramatic climax of the battle which erased that humilia- tion from the pages of history. It was to the Chateau Bellevue that Napoleon III withdrew on September l when trapped with hi sarmy in Sedan, he gave himself up as prisoner to the victorious Prussians. There, the next day, he approved, in helpless tears, the harsh terms of the armistice and rendered in person to King William of Prussia, whose grandson today is in hiding in Holland. | From the Chateau Bellevue, Napoleon l was led away to Germany, never again | to set foot on French soil, for, after i he took refuge in England, where. to | this day, his consort, the Empress Eu- genie, has remained.
 i Forty eight years later French and 1 American officers assembled in that same chateau in readiness for another
 attack upon Sedan It was on the evening of Friday, November 8, 1918.
 Sedan had been the beckoning goa
 toward which the converging Amer. 1 ican divisions had been driving furi-
 ously since the smash of the Argonnt line a week before. Now it had beer
 decided in the high councils of war tha not American troops but French should
 as a matter of sentiment and ironi( justice, recapture the city which haC so long been byword of French dis aster.
 So the American divisions bowed ant
 stepped aside, but a company of tn brigade that had already captured thu | suburb of Wadelincourt--a company O. the 166th,i ,infantry-reported as guart l of to Eran 1xyn. would have commanded the advance ol Sedan had not the signing of the armis tice suspended the attack.
 The Chateau Bellevue was the gen erals headquarters and in the dinins

NORTHERN FRANCE

Elizabeth Frazer in the Saturday Evening
 Post.
 Most of the villages of northern France are as dead and cold as the ruins of the Roman Forum-and not half so beautiful. Here were no great architectural splen- dors. No priceless art collections. They were nothing but plain humble little ham, lets of plain hard -toiling peasants The houses were destroyed and the simple, brave hardy folks who owned them were also destroyed. The graveyards Of the men I had seen at Soissons, Cham pagne, Verdun, row upon silent row. Here were the graveyards of their homes, village after village as dead as the men The only difference was that the soldiers had been buried underground while these ghastly mutilated wrecks still remained exposed to view.
 There was more of this kind of scenery. l And more. And more and more. And at l last-so soon does the mind become sated | by mere flat external spectacles of hor- ror-I began to feel yelling up lnsloe | of me vague irritation against all these
 graveyands of gaping mutihted specters of what had once been human habitations | for being so monotonous, so repetitionai'
 so drably, blankly, impassively the same. | I wanted them to get better or 1 wanted them to get worse-or l wanted them to
 be plotted clean off the map. Those mu- tilated corpses of towns, with their starh immobility. their contorted pastures, their shattered members lying rigidly out stretched on the pavement began to get on my nerves They had the same stifr
 fixity, the same grotesque sprawl that one notes in a human corpse frighttuiiy
 mangled by a shell.
 had heard of men blown to pieces in battle and unrecognizable, even theii | indentification plates gone. Here were their counterparts in hamlets. The lieu
 tenant, searching his map, murmureo doubtfully: Tt might be A or it might he B. It's hard to say
 These nameless ones I put into hs' all hv themselves and called them X But presently I gave it up. It was toe much like trying to count the Voium' of water in a reservoir by means of al eye dropper.

WHERE EMPIRES WERE LOST

hall there, while American patrols were scouting into the valley toward Sedan, the American officers turned over to the French a little silk American flag to be carried by them into the city. They will not soon forget the look in the generals eyes as, standing there in the candle-lit hall, he lifted the flag high above his head and gave the toast, "vive PAmerique.' That moment marked the "farthest north" in the greatest battle in American history
 No pilgrim to Sedan can easily miss the Bellevue Chateau. As you take the Mezieres road out of the city, you come upon it standing some two kilometers from the Mouse. As ruins go in France these days it is not much the worse for the several battles that have swept past it. One of its towers has been caved in, the walls are all bit nicked and none of it's windows survived the explosion of the shells to which the still upheaved soil in front bears wit ness In the meadow across the road a nameless French soldier lies buried. The chateau was pillaged by the Ger
 
 mans. but only at the last For, as the old caretaker will tell you with a certain melancholy pride, only the kaiser himself, who visited it often, was suffered to put up at the chateau ! during the four years of captivity It was his own rule.
 1 Early in the fall of 1911 he arrived on the FFenois heights, and great was his wrath on discovering ordinary di yisional and corps officers of his own armies lolling irreverently under 1 roof which had been made sacred by
 the fact that there his own imperial
 grandfather had received the abject emperor of France. So from then on an armed guard paced the premises l night and day with orders from his
 imperial majesty to prevent any Ger
 man, even a general from entering the 1 canonized precincts.
 1 This order went to pieces during the
 first week of November, when the Ger
 man house of cards began to tumble. 1 Then the retiring enemy began to pill lage with feverish haste, as though hoping to make up for lost time. The caretaker and the gardener, who had remained on the grounds / throughout the occupation, waxed very sacastic. ! They asked the Germans why they did not take the chateau itself to Berlin
 while they were about it.
 Before you leave this neighb orhood,
 walk down the road toward Donchery,
 for the second white house on the left
 as you leave the park of the chateau
 is the little weaver's cottage where
 Bismarck and Napoleon had their fam
 ous interview on which the terms of
 the surrender were based.
