By coRLISS H. CRIFFIs.

VrYHEN we entered the Depart
wv ment of Haute-Marne we
found ourselves in Franco
especially familiar to Americans.
Every village seemed peculiarly
homehke, as if we individually had
been in each one of them before.
This was because Haute- Marine had
been the great billeting center of all
France for the A. E. f. and nearly
every regiment of American troops
rad touched here at one time. As
it was close to the first sector of
front line trenches around Toul, and
later to the more important sectors
of Verdun and st. Mihiel, it was only
natural that vast numbers of Ameri-
cans should be concentrated here.
Here also was General Headquarters.
Our first stop of Importance in the
province was at the famous city of
Langres. Not only is this venerable
town as picturesque a spot as there
is in France, but it played an in
dehble part in the training of the
A. E. F. Situated on a towering
, cminence. Langres dominates the
landscape far and wide, even as it
stands equally conspicuous in the
story of Pershing's army. 1t is no
easy matter to climb the hill that
leads up into the town, for Langres
is nearly 500 feet above the level
of the plains. 1t was originally de-
signed for a fortress, and must in
the feudal days have been impreg-
Fable.
For us, this city was full of men,
ories. All of those now in our party
Fad been here at one time or an
other. AS for me personally, i;
had been in Base Hospital No. IS at
Langres where I had been sent for
treatment for gas after the Argonne
battle. and can vividly remember
that when / first got into real bed
there and felt the cool sheets about
me after so many days of agony at
the front Langres seemed to be a
sector of heaven.
The New York herald., 1922-09-03
A Labyrinthine Town.

After we finally achieved the
ascent of the hill and made our way
inside the city gates we found our
selves. in labyrinth. The town was
laid out before city planning was
thought of, and of all the places that
we have visited, Langres takes the
premium for chaos. After Is min
utes of wandering around the mar
row crooked ways we emerged into
the business section; but Ii required
another 10 minutes to find a hotel.
The one we did eventually loca<e was
inferior in every respect. but we
were now becoming dizzy and des-
perate, and from that time until We
left, two days later. we never did
have the slightest idea where we
were going when we once lost sight
of our hotel.
Langres is quaint and beautiful in
its very unusual setting, with the
the city walls that we had ever seen.
The buildings of the General Staff
College no longer overflow with
Colonels and Majors.
But there was at Langres another
school as well. and this will be famous
as long as the annals of the A. f.
F. endure-the school for grinding
out Second Lieutenants. 1t is doubt
ful whether the citizens of the town
have ever properly appreciated the
honor that was conferred on Langres
when this school was established
here. At least. they have not so

signified with a monument, and that
in France to-day, is an omission in
deed Naturally, those of us who had
gone through its mills were modest
about telling them what we thought
they should do. 1t was this school
that earned lasting fame by impos-
ing on a victorious army the third
louie" as well, although his status
has never yet been properly de-
termined.
The American base hospitals where
/ had been in the course of the war
were on a gentle slope, just under
the walls of the city. However,
every part of the ground is now
under cultivation and practically
every landmark has been removed.
There were just two buildings still
standing, one empty and the other
fun of agricultural implements. 1t
was a far cry to the time when
there were acres upon acres of
wooden structures, each one housing
wounded men from the battle of the
Argonne.
At one point in the town near the
city gates we found an old Y. M.
C. A. shack It's sign Liberty Hut"
was still over the door. 1t was
standing there as naturally to-day
as if there were a thousand olive
drab men crowded inside its doors.
Boarded up and vacated. it is mute
memento.
The Apex of Homesickness.
In the evenings we walked the city
wall to enjoy the superb outlook In
every direction. We came TO and
smilingly recognized the place which
is said to be the exact spot where
there were more Americans home
sick than anywhere else in France.
This legend grew up because on top
of the wall there is imbedded a map
of the surrounding country. Radiat-
ing from this center there are arrows
indicating the precise directions and
the distances to all the important
cities OF the world.
Toward the west, an arrow points
toward New York. The distance is
given as 5000 kilometers. During
the war you could always find
doughboys here peering intently at
this map. Their eyes would follow
out the line toward the west and
they would actually strain their
sight for glimpse" of the distant
and beloved America Even now we
caught ourselves looking along that
line. over the beautiful landscape,
with a tinge of the old doughboy
emotion.
Chaumont, the general head
quarters of the American Expedi-
tionary Force, and also the residence
of General Pershing, was the main
spring of the whole of the allied
armies at one time, and one wonders
before arriving in this city if it can
be possible that everything suggest
i've of those momentous days is gone
and that the town has returned TO
its former composure. Yet one does
not have to be long on its streets
before he realizes that here. as else
where, the Americans have passed
into history. And il is history almost
as completely departed as that OF
the Romans 1t is glorious history
to be sure. and the chief claim to
fame that the tewn will ever possess.
nevertheless the Americans have
passed.
Here the streets are deserted. and
there is scarcely a restaurant to be
found. But in our minds eyes the
streets were jammed with motor
cycles. the town was alive with uni
forms Everywhere were places

An Appealing Experience.

That evening in Montigny VIII al
ways be a milestone in my life.
These French friends Of ours had
forgotten nothing about US, but rec
objected everything that we had said
and done much better than we did.
We certainly had proved TO us here
that the American occupation was
rot only the greatest occasion in the
lives of these people, but that to talk
about it TO this day remains also
their greatest JOY.
They wished to know first why

myriads of places-where the dough-
boy could get his "pommes. de terre
ct omelette" But now :. empti-
ness, by contrast almost abandon
ment, and silence.
The Caserne, the headquarters OF
the whole American Expeditionary
Force, has reverted to French bar
racks, and looks much like any other
French army barracks. An infantry
regiment is stationed there, and the
blue clad poilus walk about the
quadrangle just as If it was not
famous ground. This is the space
enclosed by the buildings and it was
here that honors and medals were
presented to the deserving by the
commanding general, and here also
came the greatest Of all the allied
leaders.
Where Gen. Pershing Lived.
1t was rather difficult TO gain
access in order to make photograph
of the place and the corporal of the
guard took us before the Colonel be-
fore we could obtain the necessary
permission. / do not think that the
Colonel was much disposed toward
the taking of pictures, but he seemed
decidedly pleased TO meet some Amer
leans again. When we filed into his
office, he saluted US in all gravity.
None of US had ever had the expert
ence of being saluted by Colonel
first, and we scarcely knew how to
respond. So we shook hands with
him. Whether or not this was cor
rect, it seemed to get by"
Chaumont was the place where
Gen. Pershing kept his office hours,
so of course we went out TO the
chateau, about five miles from the
city, where some billeting officer pre-
sumably had assigned the General.
We had to admit that it was a bit
above the average billet Most OF
the men in my company had been
rather envious of my squad because
we had a stone floor in our billet
but Gen. Pershing's billet went them
one even better than mine The fact
is, We all agreed that we would not
have minded the war particularly if
we could have sojourned in this
chateau.
Having seen how the general of
the armies lived. we considered il
just as necessary to brush up our
acquaintance with how the ordinary
buck spent his evenings at home.
Since l had put in part OF my
army experience in the little town
of Montigny-le-Roi, not so very far
from Chaumont. il was to this place
that we first headed. AS we ped
