wn?in H, is described in today's
National Geoj;rnphiu society state
ment :
"ni.xinude, the melancholy little
illiif-n of yesterday and the ruins of
lodny, wns once n brave, wealthy
merchant city, with more tliuii .'10,000
inhabitants. In tlie dnys of its pro,
perily it wax a port Tor lniye ship
and the products of inanv countries
filled its warehouses. In those days
it was n stronjrly walled and bnslinn
ed city, and its wcll-trnincd citizen
Foiiiiery knew how to uphold the
honor of their thriving port upon the
Hliiuish Yser. The Germnn invad
ers, however, found no evidences of
the old-time walls and fortifications,
nor of any see rpiays.
Ws Decaying Village
"Dmnude just hefore the wnr has
tened the final process of js oblit
eration, was u deenyitiir village of
3100 people, with ffra-s mid weeds
prowiii'.' in its sleepy streets and in
its lurp xrnml sipinre, that siiuare
roomy enouj-h to hold in comfort n
mass meetiiifr of twice, the town's
population. This larjje Miinrp, the
splendid church of St. Nicholas, that
stood upon it, and some solid, old,
stone houses, lininjr the crooked
streets, remained to hear testimony to
Pixmude's earlier imnnrtnnee.
"-Much of the city's splendor wns
wiped out hv the soldiers of flhent
and Unices in the middle of the six
teenth century. During LV:i, enemy
troops hnrned .'100 homes, the palatial
tfiiild and corporation halls and the
chateau at Di.Muude. Its walls and
palaces of its merchant princes were
destroyed long heforo the present
war.

"When DiMniidc became one. of the
key positions pi the Flanders cam.
pni?n it was a substantial, piiel vil
lajje. The martial and mercantile
fame of the town had sjmmI. Its ehiet
renown wns that of its superior but
ter and ejit's, and that of the singing,
or, better, trillinir competitions of its
blind finches. The natives snared
these shy birds, jIMd, Hint they might
sing undisturbed by the presence of
onlookers, they were blinded by the
searing of their eyes with hot iroup.
These sinying competitions between
the birds wore held on holidays, and
money prizes were distributed for the
sweetest trilling1. Accomplished
birds often brought their owners
large sums, jroie than 1000 trills in
one hour by one of these sightless'
little finches wns a Dixmude record,
and as proud a one to the burghers
there ns is a baseball pennant in mi
American city.
"The town wns mediaeval in ap.
pearance. Many of the houses had
windows screened by heiivy, rust
eaten iron bars and heavy, one-piece
wooden shutters. Some of them were
very ancient, and thus valuable mem.
ones of Europe's struggles. St.
Nicholas' church, an imposing struc
lure with a flothie lower, was the
town's principal boast, and it inter
ior contained some exquisite orna-
meniaiion work, patterns carved in
stone as delicate as rare, handmade
lace. The altar screen wn prized a"
one of F.uroM's marvel-."
