ROMEY DESCRIBES
VISIT TO VERDUN

1.-THE sun is shining today, a treat
for us in France" says Corporal Fred
L., Rooney in a letter written to his
brother, w. H. Rooney, in which he
describes a recent visit to the under
ground city of Verdun.
II took some officers down to Yer
dun and went through the under
ground city with them. 1t is large
enough to accommodate all the peo-
pie who lived in Verdun, and at pres
ent the French have $500 soldiers
living there" he wrote.
There are rest rooms, restaurants,
reading and writing rooms, a picture
show, and places for the people to
live. A power plant for the lighting
and heating of the city is on the same
floor with these rooms. 1t is most
remarkable place to go through. They
had complete water system with
which to flood the city, in case 1t was
captured. The whole city Is built
very substantially with an arched
ceiling lined with brick To go into
the city we went down about twenty
five feet to long hallway, then turn
ed down stairway which wound
down about fifty feet or more, to the
bottom. We held onto a railing as it
was dark as pitch, until we reached
the electric lights, and it seemed as
though we would never get to the
bottom. The air is admitted through
pipes and there are big fans below to
keep the air circulating.
"Verdun has been badly damaged by
long range guns, and there are parts
which have been completely destroyed.
At same time l saw buildings which
had not been touched. The big cathe-
dral has been ruined as have all the
other fine buildings in all towns where
the enemy got close enough to shell
them. The road from here to Verdun
is Ane until you get within about IL
kilcmeters of the city, around the hills
where the trench warfare tok place.
The land looks just like relief map
with the trenches running every pdirec-
ton, and the wires OF communication
running along beside them. The roads
from this place around the hills are
very rough as they have been shelled
from both sides. 1t was impossible for
any one to stand still there a few
months ago, if he wanted to live. The
roads were camouflaged at the time
so the Germans could not get range
on supply trucks coming down them.
The rest of the good road is up and
