REMINDERS OIWAR 0 LINE BANKS OF YSERj Much of Debris of Battle Has Been Removed, But Not All. Oorrt'ApnmU'iu'ti of the Associated 1rea. WXHUDH, Belgium, Sept. 22. Lining the banks of the Yser river, ar. far as the rye can see, aro the trench es which, for so many monthseduriiiK the wat, were occupied by the Belgian and German armies, the Belgians on the south siJe and the Geiunans on the north. They 'still bear many narka of shell and rifle firo, and mouldy straw lying on the damp floors still convey some idea of tho Hardships to which the (soldiers were subjected. On the German side of the river is a dugout, built to resist the heaviest projectiles, and cool even on a hot Jay. It was a. favor ft 6 gathering spot for the Germans when the -fighting war fiercest, but now serves the more use ful purpose of a refrigerator. Instead of the bunks and chairs which once lined its sides one now sees pile upon pile of beer cases, filled with" refresh ment for the soldier guard at work cleaning the ground. Behind the dugout, the bodies of three soldiers two Belgians and on German were buried on tho bank of n tiny pond, made by bursting shells. Littlo crosses marking tho resting places and over them poppier nod. Along the Yser one may plainly sec tho effects of the hard fought atrug gle. Here and there the top of a dug out has been crushed in, and further along the duckboards from an aband oned trench may be seen sticking through the mud. Within sight of the bridge, the muzzle of a f iel4 piece rusted and useless, points to the sky Much of the debris of the battle field has already been collected. Miles upon miles of barbed wire nave beer reclaimed from the entanglements. German and Allied, which stretched in front of the lines but at some pointr along the river bnnk the old entangle ments still remain, rusted and twisted on stakes which aro fast falling to the ground. There are great piles of reeled wire which has not been un wound since it left the wire mills, while the military telephone systems are still stretched upon short stakes The people of Dixmudc, like the peo ple of every other destroyed Belgian town, nre gradually returning to the ruins of their homes. Tho help bciny given them by the government is giv ing them heart and strength to begin life over again. Here one may see a man patching up n shell' hole in his house with a few bricks taken front the ruins of his neighbors home, and in another place men, and women too. are patching a roof. But these instances are few. In most cases the destruction was so com plete that nothing is left for the poo Pelgian but to build a new hon.op. But the people are happy and cheer ful. They go about their work with smiling faces and merry laughter. They are back home. I'ISTItAY XOTM'K. One team, e,rey mare and grey welding, lii-iindeil Inverted' w on leff shoulder. Inijiilro of W.
