Mentor Qrance), April 2--Amoug the many tragedies which war brings in its wake is the evacuation of towns and villages in the fighting zones. Behind every advance of our armies lies the story Of the miseries and hardships of uprooted civilian populations, for the greater number of whom it means they will return probably to find their homes in ruins and their possess sions scattered to the four winds.
 A few days ago I was able to watch the transfer of some 400 peasants to safety zone. Because of military necessities the Gen. eral commanding a sector along this front recently ordered the evacuation of picturesque AL pine village situated about four miles from their frontier town. Ac- companying Maj. A. E. Mckenzie, of Honolulu, in command of an infantry unit, and Civil Affairs Capt. J. w. Welsh, of New York City, realized to what paints the military authorities had gone 1o make the exodus of these moun- taineers, their second since the out break of war, as easy as pos Slble. There were none of the elements of panic and fear I had seen in the thousands of refugees who jammed the road leading away from Paris at the time of the German breakthrough in May and June, 1940.
 This operation had all the ele- ments of Hollywood scenario. We climbed the winding path leading to the village - which still retains the respect of feudal fortress-in 8 jeep, just after nightfall. The evacuation had to be effected at night because of the danger of the enemy smelling the convoy. On ft1n vYt1 0Fra SAI- s,a l.

 FREED POSSESSIONS
 Stacked up around the village square were the villagers most prized belongings. Each individual was allowed a total of 200 pounds. There were many mattresses ---eas- fly the most important possession of the French peasant-small kegs of wine and olive oil and house.

hold utensils. Clothes took up very little space. The men, ill their Sunday best, formed small groups and conversed in low tones at the same time keeping an eye on their goods and chattels. All the wo- men were indoors, reluctnat to leave their homes until the last minute.
 Most of them seemed resigned to their fate but somehow unable to understand why, when the war was all but won, they should be made to leave their homes. One old man of 80 declared he had visited Nice, some 35 miles away,

only once before in his life. He was little scared of getting lost in such big town. I sat a while with the owner of the one small cafe, dignified, gray-haired wo- men, who was surrounded by her daughter, son-in-law and their two small children.
 "It's hard for us to pack Up and go second time,' she sighed. We fled when the Italians 'an- nexed' the region around Mentor. That time we started out at mid- night and on foot, taking only what belongings we could carry. This time things are different.
