Noyon, France, June 20, (By Mail)
Noyon, which has been adopted by
the citizens of Washington, who will
undertake its reconstruction, is not m,
the least bit selfish about its good
luck, and has constituted itself into a
center for all of the various activities
looking towards the restoration of the
243 villages destroyed in its immedi
ate vicinity. This does not mean that
the inhabitants of Noyon itself are
helping the outside villages, as that
is quite impossible. While Noyon as
a city suffered less .from the German
destruction than any of the surround-
Then she will refurnish the homes
with all the furniture - and utensils
that the Germans either carried away
or destroyed.
Just at present one of the most in
teresting questions is "Who's going to
adopt Chauny" Chauny, was an un
usually large and prosperous city, the
center of the famous Saint Gobain
glass industry. The degree of de-
structiveness inflicted here by the
Germans exceeds that of any other
town or city. Un fact it is so great
that American cities less than the size
of New York, Chicago, St. Louis or
Cleveland, are advised to keep off of
it as a Godson. Any one of these

allow all of the various charities from
all over the world, who originally
flocked to the help of Noyon, to ex
tend their help to the more devastated
towns and districts for a score of
miles around. . On one side of the
principal street of Noyon, Baron de
Rothschild has opened a warehouse
and stocked it nt his own expenses
with all the articles the war-stricken
inhabitants are likely to need. On
tho opposite side of the same street,
two American ladies have opened a
warehouse and stocked it with pretty !
much the same liens of necessities.
The competition between the two es
tablishments is the keenest of any
kind that exists at Noyon even keen

One of the interesting problems in
volved in the recultivation of the soil
is that of the unexploded grenades
and shells which now He everywhere

grenade struck by a plow or harrow
is sufficient to kill the horses and
farmer as well as to destroy the ma
chinery. One which exploded recently
underneath a steam plow in the vi

mail) After the German aeroplanes
finished bombing this town in the raid
which killed 74, the survivors gathered
in knots at the street corners and told
each other about it. It was just like
the aftermath of "experiences" oc
curring in any American town after
the tornado has wiped out Main street.
A theatrical manager producing a
musical show had his "beauty chorus"
L. A. j lined up to rehearse a big "number".
The familiar sound of bombs sent the
girls into panic. With their skirts
pinned above their knees they flew
from the single stage exit.
In time to prevent a serious stam
pede the manager blocked the door,
lined up the girls and marched them
out to the lawn of a public square.
"Lie flat on the grass," he ordered.
"Keep calm. If you're going to be
hit by a bomb you can't dodge it but
the bricks won't find you out here."
The girls obeyed while explosives
crashed around them. The show had
no casualties, though bombs tore up I
nearby streets. j
In a busy street an ex-sergeant, j
veteran of raids at the front, took
command of the crowd. He command
ed everyone to lie down in the middlu
of the street. Then he patrolled tho
block to enforce his commands. Bombs
struck all around but most of the peo
ple escaped injury.
The manager of a neighborhood
store told of waiting on four little
girls just before the raid. The mom
ent thev stepped outside a bomb
roared in the middle of the pavement,
themselves flat wherever they hap
pened to be and thuS escaped showers
of deadly fragments cast up by im
pact bombs. Civilians learned a les
son from them.
Military officers believe the Ger
mans dropped a number of time bombs
arranged to explode just above tho
heads of the crowds. These scattered
thousands of shrapnel balls as well as
Ragged metal fragments.
A retired sea-captain, sitting in the
sun at his cottage door, made up his
mind to pay no attention to the raid.
But a shrapnel ball knocked the book
out of his hands and a dozen others
peppered the wall behind him. His
onion-garden was blown into the air
but he escaped injury.
