NON-COMBATANTS ARE

GREAT EUROPEAN WAR

FAIR LAND IS DESPOILED
Bat Etih th Womin Call the War
"Olortona," and Art Confidant of
ummtf Victory Affalnat Poa.
TJy William Philip Sims.
Pari. Oct. 1. (By Mallto New York)
I am 3uBt back from the front, where
the fighting is actually going on from
the battle fields where French and
Hrlttsh and German fioldlers have add
ed new pages to history.
Rut It was not the actual front which
Impressed me most the bloody front,
where rapid flrers purt-ed and Lebels
Hat and shrapnel HplHed its singing
sprays of death. It was rather the
fighting's wake, where women and chil
dren and crippled Old men sat and
blinked and stared dazedly, benumbed.
Incapable as yet of appreciating the
fullness of the catastrophe which had
Juat passed over them.
OimiriR out of Solssons. I met a car
avan of wounded, walking toward Cha
teau Thierry and Meaux. There were
men of all amis of the service, and all
the figlitinK r.sces men from Algeria,
Tunis and Senegal, Moroccans, French,
Hrltish and Hindus all with the first
blood-crusted bandages applied to
arms, heads, or Irgs. hobbling slowly
down the muddy road in the cold, soak
ing drizzle.
Refugee! Return Home.
They were the only slightly wound
). M; to 'iuit the firing line on their
riBTi!s. And they were pitiful.
Hut south of Meaux, bound north
ward to the plains of the Marne, I
passt-d another caravan more pitiful
ftill.
It was a caravan of old men, women,
girls, ihildren and babies, returning
homo after being driven beyong faria I
wa r
' ne toniiin I saw was barefooted.
'She had trudge! her shoes from her
feet. It was raining, and the roads
were deep in mud, because for weeks
.artillery, auto trucks, army trains and
convoys of n-rmy supplies, plus the
wheels (Jf various other war machines,
had cut into them deeply. This woman
was pushing a baby carriage, in wh;ch
were two children and some household
effects. Her skirts dragged the mud
as she leaned forward, and she was be
spattered to the waist. Bareheaded,
tjnder the drizzle she struggled on, a
feverish light in her eyes and twin
spots glowing on her cheeks.. A soaked
brownish cape failed to keep the wet
from penetrating to her skin.'
Calls War "Olortooa."
I spoke to her, and learned that her
husband "was in the east, somewhere I
on the firing line. She had not heard!
from him. Yes, she was very uneasy.
Suddenly, I asked her what she thought
of the war.
"It's glorious, isn't It?" she answered
In her "bampagne country dialect. J
"We are pushing the Germans back out I
of our country. If ours continue to1
fight-as they are fighting now, we shall
win soon. Don't ou think so with
the Knglish'to help?''
' This caravan was only one of many.
They f,.l from their villages and
farms as the Germans advanced, whole
.hamlets and neighborhoods going to
gether. Their horses and good vehicles
were often seized, leaving only old. unfit
animals to drag the two-wheeled carts
and squeaking wagns filled with hay
ami women and babies, indiscriminate
ly mixed.
At night they camped by the road
sides, whether it rained or the stars
rame out. The only food they had was
what they started with on their Jour
ney. They were without meat, and
their bread was stale and soggy. They
slept in their clothes, those who could,
under cur id or wagons, to keep off a
little of tie downpour.
Women Are Seal Sufferer.
These are the real sufferers from the
war.
They left farms which looked like
great gardens; fruit trees laden with
ripe fruit; fields of wheat ready for
the harvest; yards fat with cattle and
sheep and swine and chickens.
They return to battle fields.
Stone fences have been Overthrown
by artillery; wheat is trampled and
ruined; thousands of graves dot the
fields, horses, dead and swollen to
twice their natural size, lie here and
there; fruit trees are cut by shells;
perhaps the homes themselves are only
Btnoking ruins. J he cattle and sheep,
the chickens and the swine, are gone to
ted the soldiers friends and enemie"
alike, for these fields were fought ovei
twice by the most formidable forces of
any time.
And all the time the soldiers, wheth
er they willed it or not, were treading
upon the aged und the weak, the wom
en and the young.
Fields Are Unworked.
Of the two caravans that of the
wounded soldiers on their way to the
rear, and of the poor farm people home
ward bound the destiny of non-combatants
is to be the harder.
In a distance of 70 miles I saw but
three people working in the fields.
It is not 'the war that depressed; the
sound of battle stimulates like wine.
But in the track of the war, where the
old are, and the women and children
wait, there is real suffering.
The effect of merely passing through
the country is racking. The sight of de
serted fields, broken fences, l'elled
trees, trampled crops, shell-torn or
burned houses, scarred villages, the ut
ter desolation which stalks about, the
tragic silences following the roar of
the cannon, all force the question,
"After all, wKo really wins?"
Apparently the answer would be:
"Death!"
Silk and its manufactures comprise
nearly 40 per cent of the exports of
Japan.
Removes Hairy Growths
Without Pain or Bother
(Modes of Today) j
It is not necessary to use a pain- !
ful process to remove hairy growths,
for with a little delatone handy you
can keep the skin entirely free from
these beauty destroyers. To remove
hair, make a stiff paste with a little
jowdered delatone and water. Sprea.1 '
this on the hairy surface and in about i
2 minutes rur off, wash the skin and ''
the hairs are gone. To guard again-st I
disappointment, be careful to get real !
