Long Series of Disputes and compli-

Wiped Out.

Ypres, Belgium-Thousands of Bel
gian families probably never will find
their former homes in No Mans Land
All means of identifying them have
been shot away.
They will find homes, of course,
somewhere in that desert waste, per-
haps on what used to be somebody
else's land. But the exact location of
their own sacred bit of ground may
forever remain mystery.
Nearly five years OF cease1ess bonn
bardment has ob1fterated the land
marks upon which the pre-war land
surveys We're based. The old bounda-
ries which distinguished one farm
from another have literally been
pounded into the earth-too deep for
resurrection.
New surveys will come in time, prob
ably more scientific than the old. Ev-
eryone who once owned part of the
great battlefield will receive some
thing, equal in size and as near as pos
sfble to where his former home fs
thought to have been.
Peace of Mind Vanishes.
But in another sense this can never
compensate. Nor can the old peace OF
mind ever fully return to folk so at
tached to their own little piece OF
earth that nothing less than certain
death from shell fire-and sometimes
not even this-couId induce them to
desert it.
This is one phase OF tomorrow's hui

range in every direction-once one OF
Belgium's most beautiful farming dis
tricts.
