- Brings Most Interesting

(BY. R. A. HARRIS) :
' AMlEXS, France.-March 23. This
has Wen my most Interesting day
in France. My friend, W.; R.

to.vi3it the great Somme battlefield
to try to locate "the grave of his
brother-in-law and we bothsucceed-

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

In the-'banks of the eul were num.

We had seen other dugouts and
many trenches but thse were the
largest we had seen as yet and had

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

struck by a great shell, and. with ev

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

years at least.
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."
When you-goln back to Geor
gia?"
'Ah suah doan know, eapt'o.
Want to go back?"
'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

"Bom." answered ilnse. "dat
