I've never been in your home and, of

I'm not going to say anything more
about your home; I'm going to talk of
their homes and you may draw the
comparison for yourself if you want to.
There are three kinds Of homes in
Belgium, the one in the comparatively
undestroyed city that the German
tried to keep for himself the home in
the shelled and fired village, and the
home in No Mans Land. Oh, yes,
there are homes there. But wait, we

they advertise. There's the house to
which we arc going-that one where
the painter is working on the door.
Queer, isn't it, how all of the houses
look alike here?-narrow, of white
plaster with sharp pointed roof.
