Often a mine would be connected

the helmet as a souvenir would be
blown to pieces. Doors we're wired
so that a turn Of the knob would

II took several years for thou
sands of men to walk over the bat
tlehelds picking up uneXploded
shells and weapons. Seven million
acres of land we're ruined by the
war. torn up by shells, Uttered with
barbed wire and concrete construc-
ton and filled with unexploded
engines.
Three hundred and thirty three
million cubic meters Of trenches
had to be filled. and $4,000 miles of
barbed wire had to be unStrung and
rolled up. The reconstruction eff
fort has been remarkable and six
and a half million acres have been
resolved.
There arc certain regions where
nothing can be done. The ground
was so badly cut up by shells and
trenches that the soil is worthless,
even for tree culture. So these
