Hridgts, ol the Oregonian, desired to.vi3it the great Somme battlefield to try to locate "the grave of his brother-in-law and we bothsucceed- VU IU tilling peuiwiuu iu vumcf We. found the cemetery and the grave which was plainly marked and beautifully decorated. The man was evidently held-in high esteem' We took two pictures of the grave with Mr. B. standing'by the cross at the head. We came to this city by train two hours from Paris. Did. not think we could get farther than here by only chance as we were almost compell ed to be back in Taris ready for work tomorrow morning, nut. we told our' m!?icn to the captain in charge; of th Anv ri-n headquar ters here 'n.nd br '--iV.l ft eonpte of soldier boyr. nni V---T .r-n'n c car to take. ii! to th rfr-M-h was !

" Smaller ones dotted th landscape in every direction. V stopped at a little bridga spanni.:: ft ' cat 'through which ran a railroad. In the-'banks of the eul were num. erous dugouts. ' We had seen other dugouts and many trenches but thse were the largest we had seen as yet and had seen .service.. The road led on be tween two rows of trees. As wc pro ceeded the scenes of war increased. Trenches wound across the landscape Invery direction. Shell holes were seen everywhere. The trees were shattered, some shot . entirely off others with great gaps.' in their sides and still others pierced through the centerl " Every little way there were great piles of war material appar ently collected for salvage. There were heaps of barbed wire. Dur ing the trip we saw many , long stretches of barbed "wire entangle ments still In position as placed by the army.) There wergreat piles of sheet iron used ia the construc tion of dugouts and other means of shelter; ricka of unused shells and other ammunition. But the most Impressive of all was tho devastated Tillages. We must have ' passed through five or six. Every one we passed after leaving this city was not merely partially, but entirely ruined. It seems that In this part of the country the farivera as well as others, live in these little vil lages which appear to bi built large ly on a continuous street formed by the main highway.

I It's a good investment-BUY VICTORY BONDS! . t t Paronne,. the principal town we visited, was qnite an Important place. We could have reached It by rail by waiting another day. Like all the others, it is a-tnass' of -ruins and practically deserte.d. We took a co.uple of pictnres here. Our camera with only six. plates, was rather aa aggravation. If the pictures we took prove good, however, we will appre ciate .them very .much indeed. At the end f our Journey, where we found the cemetery and the grave, we were right on-what was a bloody battleground. ' Souvenirs of the struggle are still to be found lln almost unlimited numbers and variety. We picked up. for example, German. American and English gas masks In a . good state of preservation. German hel mets. German canteens, sheila of tract ic ' ally ' all descriptions and there were band grenades, unexplod red shells parts of ""machine guns. parts of aero bombs and m'.ny oth er gruesome relics. If we are permitted to br'ng home what we have broucht wit'i us-this far, we shall be able in s-ply:all demands (or should 1 say ten nests) so far made and with relics Ve have personally picked up from one of the greatest battlefields of the war. The fact .that we personally gathered them, from the battlegronnd makes them much more valuable than If we had bought them from the curio venders. There U. said to be some difficulty Jn sending any of the brass shells and I do not know whether wc can bring them or not., uuno seekers (or relic, seekers) are re garded by many as, a little "off as war Junk is so common that a fellow lugging It about sppears ranch M would somebody in Salem loading up with tin cans from a garbage pile. At a distance on a hillside we saw three huge English tanks which Our driver-sergeant told lis were stand ing right where they wre put ont of business by enemy shells. We cdnld Imagine them, not many; month ago. moving ponderously forward- trf ad vance of great lines or urttisn in fantry. spitting fire and deatbwtaen. struck by a great shell, and. with ev ery inmate probably killed, thel engines and gearings shattered, they stomied. never to co acaln. Another most suggestive series of testimonials was the many rrorps of wooden crosses each marking the grave of a soldier. It Is possible we were not always In sight M one on thia trip, but very brief scanning of the landscape would soon disclos one or more. Groups of from a dot en er k.j to hondreds were frequent ly to be seen, wnlle ever anjl anon now by the roadside ana sga'n at a distance, a lonely cross stood a si lent sentinel. (A regular department of the military organization, is now removing the bodies frorr these lone ly graves to the cemeteries or g"onp burial places where they are earfully marked and" registered. - Many, how ever, fill- unmarked and unknown graves while many others were blown to atoms too minute for identifies Won. Extra heads, arms and legs were often buried In the grave of an already more or less complete body. In the cemetery we vfelted there were Interred British. American and German dead.

Not knowing what conditions We would find outside of Paris we had brought -some sandwiches along.- but here 'at Amiens we. were invited i to lunch at the officers quarters and on our way back tonight we diood fumptuously with the lieutenant commander of a unit of the Graves Registration Bureau, of which 1 spoke the branch of aervlce regta tering graves. Near this camp we had f topped to greet some American doughboys, and through the kindness of a young Georgia captain who ac companied us on the trip, we were presented to the lieutenant In. charge who, insisted that we dine with him hlch layitation we accepted. At the Officers' mess in Amiens where we lunched at noon we were served. by a young colored son of Georgia. Our captain friend from the same state asked him several questions. "What part of the south are you from " Tse from Jawgy. Capfn. "Whats your home city in Geor gia?" : , "Atlanta, captain , To a query concerning several pe- feunrably prominent (people -fa At lanta, he replied: Ynh see, capt'n, ah ain't so well acquainted In Atlanta; ah lived on a fahm."

'Ah suah do, capt'n." nai youid you give now for a good big Georrla watemielloa " "Ah .doan hahdly know, cant'n but ah bleve ah'd give ten francs ef ah had it." It was the concensus of opinion that others In the company would give as much or more. One of our drivers who had seen active fighting In some of the hard est contested fionts. told us of a col ored soldier who was Just about to be ordered to charg? with h's com rabs. He had been presumably 're assured by the statement that seventy-five thousand Americans were Just behind to back bU regiment up, and was thereupon asked: "Mose. what will the headlines aay tomo-row morning?" "Bom." answered ilnse. "dat headline'll sav: Seventy-five thou and white folks trampled to death."

One-tenth of the Christjan community was lott daring the few months or tne. disease.
