J. B. Carey, of White Salmon
and Portland, .Writes.
GERMANS STILL STRONG
Sage Brush Desert Is Like Garden
In Comparison and Thousands
of Fine Chateaus Arc De
molished by Invaders.
WHITE SALMON. Wash.. Sept. 8.
(Special.) From "semewhere in
France" comes an interesting letter to
W. H. Dean, of' White Salmon, from
J. B. Carey, who enlisted in the Ameri
can Ambulance service. "Jack"
Carey is well known in Portland and
was for several yearn a horticulturist
of the White Salmon Valley. Under
date of August S he writes:
"We are getting along nicely, al
though we have had about two weeks
solid of rain and the mud is something
fierce. I had a bully trip a few days
ago with an officer, half of the trip
paralleled the battle line that was held
firm for two years by the Germans,
which strip of France, as far as the
eye could see, was absolutely deserted
and weeds watst high; not a standing
building in sight and made a sage
brush desert look like a garden, par
ticularly in the heart of France's most
fertile country, where pretty villages
and populous country was before the
war.
German Strength Realised.
"All this strip was Interspersed with
trenches and marked with shell cra
ters; at intervals could bo seen
smashed trenches, where the recent
advance commenced. Paralleling the
line, as we did, gave me a wonderful
impression of the strength of the Ger
man position taken after the retreat
from the Marne. Some day we will
learn why they evacuated such posi
tions, apparently before they had to.
It is hard to understand how the sali
ent caused by the fiofflme battle af
fected country so far away.
"During this trip we stopped at a
wonderful old chateau which had been
turned over to the government for the
war as a' resting "Place, for' officers.
Thousands' of" similar chateaus have
been demolished by the Hum. I have
never' appreciated more such a beauti
ful site, making me think what a
mockery this reconquered country
must be to those who formerly lived
in it.
"Not alone has beauty been destroyed,
but every mill, factory or plant of
every. kind is just a Jumble of torn and
twisted steel and machinery.
"Coming back we came through an
other part of the old battle. zone which
was spotted, with reinforced concrete
observation posts and in places "no
man's land" was the- road we were
going over and the opposing trenches
on both sides of It.
Prisoners Are Happy.
"We see lots of German prisoners
and the majority of them are sad spe
cimens. They are well treated and are
mighty happy to be out of it and get
lots to eat, but the Boche has lots of
kick in him yet. However, a great
many- of the German prisoners are be
ing used to repair roads in he battle
zone, as well as to demolish the
trenches and dug outs. It is amazing
the amount of material that is piled
on the ground that was used in form
ing and stiffening for the trenches.
"Just before we got into "repos" we
had a few lively days at another sector
we were sent to by mistake, and we
are all very sorry we could not staj
there, as there was a wonderful swim
ming hole in an old quarry and the
finest diving. We had lots of work
to do there and had some lively times
while the Germans were shelling.
"Three of our original bunch had to
go back to the States 'from shell
shocked nerves, or. more commonly
known as 'yellow.' " ...
