One rather dreary day early in February we reached Nerdun l. was at the end of a week spent in the de- vastated zone We were cold and tired and the rather particular noises of the Hotchkiss motor in which we were travelling had begun to wear & little or our nerves. Nerdun. oddly enough .s not one Of the totally de stroyed cities on the battle front. though reasons for it's semi-salvation lie entirely within the technical knowl- edge of the artillery man since scarce ly three miles from the city for four and one-half years without ceasing was waged the bloodiest battle in the history of the world.
 IL was at Verdun that VI saw what we chose to call the grave of the Third Unknown.
 One leaves Verdun by au excellent rebuilt f8ad which leads t8 the citadel. that blasted area which in 1914 held the line of fortresses which wese de signed as Franee's impreenable wall against German invasion. Gun ittle chauffeur, Francois. had fought at NerAun l. had many memories for him And when the city had dis appeared and we were nigh on the hills outside it was Francois who took us in charge and told of the nights and iay ia that burnt out hell For the Fort, of Verdun today remind one pf nothing so much as region at peace after every element of evil has made lt its victim.
 From the point al which We stood. we saw the remnants of Douamont. captured and reeaptured at tremen- dous loss, and to the right were the piles of stone and sand bags which had been the bloody Fort de Vaux. There is no life at Verduu now The land s ztll searred as far as the eye can reach. from the incessant ram of projeet4ies.

.6TART NEW BAND
IN TwOTTENV|LLE
New Organization Among the
members of Aquehonga A.
C. Tomorrow Night

BY Evening News Staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, June 2O:-An
effort is being made to start another
band in Tottenville among the young
men of the town. The new organ
ization will be started among the
members of the Aquehonga Athletic
Club that recently absorbed the Tot
tenville Athletic Club in taking over
the athletic grounds in Sprague ave-
nue.. A meeting has been called at
the clubhouse for tomorrow night
of all those members who are music
ally inclined and who can handle an
instrument of some description.
There are twenty-one members sign
ed up already and several more have
given consent to become members of
the band. Since the Tottenville
band, which had been In existence
more than thirty-ive years, disband-
ed abou two years ago, there mas
been no representative musical or
ganization here other than h Tot
tenviIle Community orchestra, which
Ewas an offspring of the Tottenville
! band after hat organization went
out of existence.
There is no doubt hat a good
band can be organized among the
members of the athletic club and
also be supported by the community.
The Tottenville band up to the time
of it's disarmament was considered
one of the best amateur bands IN
his section of the country. Its mem
bers numbered many of the business
men of his section of the island.
Several of the younger members of
the old band are back of the new
organization and will be the prime
movers in it. At the meeting tomor-
row the officers are to be chosen and
a leader named. The first rehearsal
will take place at the same time.
