WENDELL' BELL WRITES FROM WAR ZONK IN FRANCE OF HOW MANY TOWNS THERE WERE LITL'ltALLY BLOWN TO ATOMS. LINE BRIDGES WERE DESTROYED Many Hixlics of Dead Soldiers Not Hurled and Hones Have Iteon Picked llari! by Havens Weallier Very Itnluy. Dear Mother and Dad: I have been wulting for a letter from you before writing, hut as my mail seems to be lost, am going to say hello without waiting longer. I have been in my present location for about two weeks. We are a little north of the Toul sector, about half way between Nancy and Met,. It has been rain ing most of the time since I have been here, and for that reason have had little opportunity to look over the surrounding country from the air. I did get up about three fourths of an hour on the 24th of Decem ber, though, and had a look over Nancy and Metz, also followed the trench lines and got a better idea of the amount of shelling that had been done in this district. Which army did the greater part of the destruc tion is hard to determine. In some places the artillery fire was so In tense that nothing is left except white smudges on the ground of what was formerly villages of a thou sand inhabitants. This is particular ly true of Flirey, Kssey. Fnvizir and Maizerais. In the case of Flirey there is one wall left standing of their little cathedral. This wall is four feet thick at least, which gives evi dence of the terrific nature of the bombardment. The trenches are practically indiscernible through this district. This shelling has been so close that the surface of the ground is a veritable powder pot. Last Sunday I took a car and drove in a circle over some of this district. Thiacourt is about the only town that has not been levelled to the ground. It is a sad looking town, though. Doubt if there is a single house that Is not shell torn. When you stop to think that all these towns over here are built of sandstone from a foot to two feet thick, it will give you some idea of Hie shelling that was required to de molish these towns. Where Fssey was there is no sign of a building of any kind, but the ground is covered with what looks like dirty flour. This Is alt that is left of the stone houses of the town. Pont a Mousson is In fairly good condition. There is no place in the town that destruc tion caused by the shelling is not in evidence, but the city can be rebuilt. One notable feature of destruction in this particular district is a rail way bridge that Is known as Flerey bridge. It was a beautiful stone and steel structure. Now the steel bridge is completely torn from the abut ment and upended in the stream. Another bridge I noticed a little fur ther on that spanned a gorge about 3(H) feet deep, the steel work Is now at the bottom of the gorge, but the stone abutments remain on either side intact like two big monuments. Our place here is not what it might be, so far as comfort is con cerned, but we have to make the best of it for the present. It would really be fine were It summer, but at this season of the year when it rains all the time it Is just a sea of mud. We are compelled to w ear rubber boots whenever we step out. About the only diversion is target practice. I have a .45 Colt automatic that I shoot about 300 rounds a day. Sometimes I borrow a rifle from one of the men and shoot a few rounds with that for a change. On my way to (his camp passed through Chateau Thierry and St. Mihiel, and secured some souvenirs from the battlefields of that section. L saw a part of the front line ii encbes ami No Man s Land. Not all the bodies are buried yet. Some of them were still half clothed, shell torn, and bones picked bare by the ravens. I am really sick of the lazy army life and want to get out of it as soon as possible, and get down to busi ness again. I have had no letters f rom home since November 6, and that was from Tonv at Coronado, and I am getting very anxious to re ceive some mail. Do take the best care of yourselves. I have seen so many of my friends of late knocker! out In one way and a md her that 1 realize what seems to be jut a little thing ran develop into a serious ill ness in no time. M ust now close, with much love to both of ou. From our loving son, WFNDFLL BKLL. December 2S, llflK. Le.-ne fur Washington B, C.

SHOT THROUGH HEAD; BODY Of FRANK ACUSTA IS FOUND NEAR TILLER According co a telephone J message received by Coroner J Hitter about 1 p. m. today j rrom the postmaster at Per due, the dead body of an un- k n o w n m a n w as found 1 ti miles north of Tiller early this morning. The unfortunate man bad been shot in the head, but whether the deed was committed by his own hand with suicidal intent, or whether foul play figures in the tragedy, could not be learned this afternoon, as the Perdue postmaster gave no de tails. Coroner Hitter left for Riddle this afternoon and will proceed to where the body was found. Until he makes his report nothing defi nite will be known regarding the circumstances of the shooting. The country In the vicinity of Tiller ia very rug ged and thinlypopulated ami it will be some time before the coroner will be able to reach the locality of the body, as the trip from Tiller will prob ably be made on horseback over mountain trails. According to t be belief of K. H. Lough, a Tiller resident, who was here this afternoon, the body found near that place with a bullet wound in ind in 4 Frank 4 years, j 4. the head, was that of 4m Acusta, aged about 50 and a pioneer resident of that section. Mr. Acustrt has been t i missing and since early yes terday morning a searching 4- u party had been scouring the J woods in an effort to locate . him. The indications point to I the fact that be had been away from his lonely cabin for J some time, as his dog, which ! was found shut up in Hit! j J house, had become so fain- Ished that he had eaten con- siderable flour. This fact leads residents of the Tiller section J to believe that Mr. Acusta 1 had been In the woods for sev- J eral days. j Word was also received here J- today to the effect that Miss j (da Rainville and a Miss f. Lerwell loM their way return 4 ing from a visit at the home 4 of a neighbor and a searching l parly was being formed to look for them when they J found their way into Tiller J about 1 o'clock Monday morn 4 ing .AMKItlC.W MII.ITWtV Sirltl.T si:uk i: l ci i;us i-i.ot in ;i:hm.v to i,i i i' 'l in-; (;i:itnx i'i:i)i"i.i-: ion rois- MI H KAISKIt.

According to eye witnesses, tho machine which Mr. Harrison was riding struck some object In the road which caused the rider to lose his balance, and in an effort to maintain his seat Mr. Harrison, as is charac teristic of motorcycle riders, throw out his foot, allowing it to drag on the ground. In some unaccountable manner the foot was caught under the machine, just as the motorcycle left the highway, severely bruising the ankle. The shoo coming off probably saved Mr. Harrison serious injury. Tho injured man was brought to this city by automobile und taken to his home in West Roseburg, where Dr. Shoemaker dressed the young man's wound. When seen this morn ing the physician stated- that for tunately no bones had been broken, but that the ankle had been severely bruised and it will probably be sev eral days before Mr. Harrison can go about his duties us usual.

A paper by Win. Dnlloy on the question, "Will the tractor re place the horse on the farm'." brought out a spirited discussion, with Hie majority agreeing that the 1 rat-tor could never entirely replace the horse in hilly couutricH such as Hie mp(iia Valley. Il was also sug gested that il was not the number of t t acloi s in a neighborhood t hat would lead to eiHcicncy, but rather a lew tractors in a community that could work lor the entire neighbor hood.
