 The old ramparts of Vauban and the city wall are coming down. AL ready they have been cut wherever street was needed. The Saint Sauveur quarter. in 1914 an un- savory place, has all but vanished to make room for modern apart ment buildings. The Hotel de Vile lacks only year of being Com- pleted at cost of s3.200,O00. Plans are under way for construction of a S7,000,000 railway terminus and a 22-story hospital and clinical unit the like of which never has been seen in France. Lille must have spent in all during this decade S100, 0,000.00Q. and yet the city has neither debts nor jobless. Like the whole department, it is prosperous.
 One cannot see all this without thinking that the enemy could scarcely have destroyed all these buildings. And he did not. The truth of the matter is that these energetic Flemish people just com pleted the job. They were a little tired of their 1.00O-year- old houses and outmoded factories.

There has been great abun- dance of migratory wild birds in the Copper River Flats this fall, said Dr. Chase. Geese, honkers, yellow legs and emperors, were and are still present in unusually large numbers. It is the first time in many years that the emperor goose has been seen there. A great in crease in sand-hill cranes was also noted by him and members from the Second and Fourth Divisions.
