here into the one great cemetery. and
although 1t is not completed as yet it will
be beautiful in the years to come.
The road to F1irey goes through the
famous Mort-Mare Wood. and here the
front line trenches of the enemy had
seemed impregnable. Nevertheless they
were taken expeditiously enough by the
American Eighty-ninth Division in the
great advance of the flrst day. Entering
Flirey itself the first object to strike your
eye is the magnificent monument which
has been erected by the French of Lor-
raine in honor of the American army In
the midst of this desolated village it was
touching to find that the French sense of
gratitude to the United States was such
that this monument had been erected be-
fore the village itself could again fairly
be considered habitable. With large bas-
relief of two American soldiers the face
of the monument carries the inscription
La Lorraine aux Etats Unis'-"Lorraine
to the United States" The shaft also dis
plays a list of the American divisions
together with a brief account of the battle
participating in the st. Mihiel offensive,

some 1850 feet high, had dominated the
whole of the st. Mihiel salient and par
ticularly had it been a source of annoy
ance to the Americans intrenched in the
marshy ground at it's base 1t was an ad
mirable observation post for the Germans
and had been heavily fortified. 1t was
toward this tremendously formidable hill
that the First Division directed the adj
vance on September II, and very shortly
after it fell into American hands.
The predominating impression which
this historic sector gives now to an Amer
lean, however, is not of war. or even of
the memories of war. 1t is the earnest,
heroic enthusiasm of the French people,
who are straining every possible effort to
rebuild their homes before the winter
comes. The fields and gardens in this part
of the country have received first atten-
ton, while the people lived, as in fact
they are still living, in little wooden shacks
resembling old barracks. Yet by this time
the people have had an opportunity to
turn to the towns. and every one is busy
upon a new home-the villages are literally
humming with labor. Slowly but steadily
The New York herald., 1922-10-08

new communities are rising out of the
vestiges of the old.
To a soldier no spot in the world can
equal one of his old battlefields for conjur-
ing up the most vivid of memories. Because
of this the thoughts of more than million
Americans habitually turn toward the
great battlefield of the American Army in
the Meuse-Argonne offensive. and when
ever possible their footsteps also turn in
the same direction. 1t has become a new
national shrine.
On our journey north from ST. Mihiel
and long before we arrived within sight of
the city of Verdun, we began to encounter
traces of the great battle of 1916, when the
German Crown Prince made a supreme
effort to take that citadel and where his
tremendous onslaught ended in French
victory. On all sides of the city the hilltops
present the most barren spectacle. They
are covered with CHASTITY stumps of what
were formerly abundant forests. Every
where are shell notes.-the inevitable shell
holes-so many indeed that it has been i'm
possible to fill in all or even considerable
portion of them.
The city of Verdun itself remains a pic
ture Of woeful desolation. Very little re-
building has been undertaken here. Much
of the business is being carried on in little
wooden buildings resembling barracks, so
that this ancient French community is in
some respects a prototype of a Western
mining town. Everywhere. however, are
the ruins of a prosperous and historic
past.
Pushing on at once to the Meuse-Ar-
gonne battlefield we sought the point
where my own division, the Thirty-third
had been assigned at the beginning of the
offensive. This was at the extreme right
flank of the American Army. resting on

thence TO Seicheprey. We had been want
ing to see Seicheprey for months. since
this little hamlet held for each of us
peculiar sentiment. For here took place
the first real test of American troops in
the war This town and the surrounding
sectors had been held by the First Di-
vision from January 81 to April 5. 1918.
Then it was relieved by the Twenty-sixth,
the New England or Yankee" Division.
on the 20th of April the Germans launched
a surprise attack on this division and car
ried the town. However, the boys from
New England reformed and after a two
day fight took back all the lost territory
and demonstrated to the Germans that
they were soldiers of the highest type.
In September the First Division again
held this sector. and it was here that they
suited in their capture of Montsec Seiche-
prey naturally was a complete wreck dur
ing the fighting years. yet it is already so
largely rebuilt that scarcely a war land
mark is recognizable. Just beyond the

This week The Times presents the
name of J. w. Beswellyof Doe Run,
asFa candidate for Associate Justice
bot the County Court from the Second
District. Mr.. Boswell IS a splendid
citizen and has many friends through
out the Second District, in fact
through all parts Of the county, and
would unquestionably make a good
record as member of the County
Court, He is a good business man,
the kind of citizen that should always
be selected for these places, which are
of greatest Importance to the taxpay-
ers Of the county, they being the
peoples paymasters to the extent of
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually.
Henry M. O'Bannon, in announcing
his candidacy for the nomination for
Recorder of Deeds of st. FRANCOIS
county on the Democratic ticket, wish
es to thank the good people of this
county for what they have already
done for him. and for what he is ask
ing them to do again. He has served
one and half terms as Recorder and
has done his duty faithfully and i'm
partially, and therefore feels he would
like to serve one more term in order
to secure the accustomed second term.
Hesis q native of st. Francois county,
u stalwart Democrat, with hosts of
friends throughout the county, and his
denomination would add strength to
the Democratic ticket.
The name of Philip s. Cole is pre-
scented to Times readers this week as
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Prosecuting Attorney of
st. Francois county. Mr.. Cole was the
Democratic nominee last election for
this office, and while he made very
creditable race, he went down in the
Republican landslide. His friends
now feel that he should be given an
other chance for that office, believing
that he can this time make the goal.
He is a graduate Of a creditable law
school, and has every qualification to
fill the office of County Prosecutor
with credit to himself and profit to
the people. Philip is an ex-service
man, was born in this county, where
he has always resided and is an eX-
cellent and worthy young man.
