which is found today is in the battle fields of France and Belgium.
 A few months will mark the lapse of three years since the signing of the armistice, which caused the cessation of hostilities in Europe, but three years have done little to obliterate the traces of that struggle in those coun- tries which suffered most. Thousands of acres of dead land in the less dam aged districts have been reclaimed, but many more thousands in the Somme, Yypres, Rheims, and Verdun districts lie as great, barren wastes-the trenches and dug-outs as they were yesterday, but for the weeds and grass which are aiding nature in retaining that which man has destroyed. Where once were pretty little French villages now remains nothing but mass of bricks; woods are but stalking groves of naked poles planted in desolation of shell holes and trenches. One has only to visit Rheims or Arras to see the wretched remains of what once were beautiful cities. One may look for the homes of tho r'rencn peeople, who are struggling to get on their feet once more, but will find nothing but inhabited cellars or huge iron cul- verts closed in at the ends to form hu- man novels.
 On recent visit to France I had the opportunity of visiting one of the worst of these areas-the Somme dist rict. made the trip by motor, enter ing the lines from Amiens at Albert and travelling up them through Ba- paume, Arras, Vimy and Lens. The picture which was impressed on my mind will never be forgotten.
 It was one of the utmost desolation one can imagine. In place of the war time thunder of big guns and all the noise and clamor of the conflict, there is quietude which is impressive above everything else Not living thing is seen or sound is heard for miles, and this breeding silence is new CT broken but by the occasional firing of "dud" shells, which are being clear ed away. The trenches are strewn with hand grenades, unexploded shells, mangled metal of all descriptions, and vast and intricate network of rust ing barbed wire.
 Albert, once busy and quite im- portant French village, is nothing but pile of debris. The old cathedral where the figure of the Virgin Mary hung suspended for so many years during the war is but skeleton

standing out in a wilderness of brick and plaster. One new house has been built and railroad platform bears a sign assuring the stranger that this was once Albert.
 Near Albert, at Boiselle, is huge mine crater, large enough to hide a fair sized house. 1t is the result of the extensive mining campaigns which were carried on at the beginning of the 1916 drive. At this point the op- posing trenches were so close together that subterranean mining was resort ed to by both sides; it is doubtful whether the results will ever be en- tirely removed.
 Farther along on the Albert-Ba- paume road, we passed the Butte of Walincourt, a small elevation which was taken and retaken sixteen times during the first Somme drive. Its sides have been saturated with the blood of Austrians and Germans, for it is here that the Durhams and tens of thousands of others were killed. On the top are three crosses-two Australians and one German, left by the comrades of those who fell in the fierce onslaughts. The Butte remains a battered mound honey-combed with trenches and shell holes.
 Bapaume is gone. Like many of the villages in the war area, all that re- mains is number of cellars, a maze work of ruins, and a sign board which declares that it was once the site of many homes. In Bapaume, as in many French villages, Beaumont, Hanel, Beaucoult, Mariancourt, Achet and countless others, not brick has been left intact, and the few trees that still stand are barren of any foliage Arras is in a pitiable condition but here we find the restoration has made some progress. The large station which was completely demolished has been replaced and workmen are start ing the clearing out and rebuilding of the shattered shell of the cathedral. Arras during the greater part of the war was nearly encircled by trenches, but withstood the attack 1i the enemy throughout it all. The city is full of large cellars where the inhabitants lived during those days.
 It was raining when we reached Vimy Ridge, and the white sticky mud reminded us of the stories of the boys who had lived in it for four years. Vimy Ridge has not been touched since the war. Its dug-outs and tun- nels are as they were when abandon

 A clash between employees of cir GUS and the police of Fremont, Neb., as the latter attempted to stop alleged "con" games, came to an end when the mayor of the city threatened to call out members of the American Le- zion to preserve law and order. The police were outnumbered by the circus roustabouts who refused to obey or ders of the mayor until the latter an nounced he would call Legion men to assist the police.

 His refusal to preach over the body of an American doughboy killed at Chateau-Thierry because the coffin was draped with the Stars and Stripes has caused the Rev. John Snavely, Lancaster, Pa., to become the storm center of an investigation just launch ed by the Legion of that city. The body was resting in the vestibule of the church and the family and friends were waiting when the minister issued his edict. The Legion immediately took charge of the remains and ob- tained another minister.

Proposed Coast Terminal Rate

The proposed twenty per cent re-

through the Associated Press without

move is successful it will demoralize
