Germans Destroying Country as
They Retreat Road Junctions
Mined and Blown Up Not a Home
Left Famous Tower of Ham Is
Dynamited Vilages Are Deserts.
FRENCH FRONT- IX FRANCK,
FRANCE, March 23. (From a surf
correspondent of the Associated
Press.) Destruction and desolation
are salient features along the track of
the German retreat between the im
portant towns of Roye and Ham and
beyond. Tho correspondent has ac
companied the French army In tho
advance over an area which since the
licginulng of the Gorman retrograde
movement has reached a total of ap
proximately 950 sn.iir.ro miles. Fol
lowing closely on tho heels of the re
tiring Germans the correspondent
passed through many villages whose
ashes were still Hiuoulderlng, all hav
ing been fired by Gorman troops be
longing to the seventeenth army
corps.
Road Junction rosn'iycl.
Large towns such as Roye, Ncslc
i.nd Jlam suffered less than tho vil
lagos. All road junctions were mined
and blown up, leaving gaping chaxms
largo enough to contain a six-story
house. Although In many towns the
houses outwardly are Intact, giving
almost an unchanged aspect, they
proved on Inspection to bo merely
skeletons whoso contents had been
ruthlessly deslroyed with picks and
shovels. In the country districts the
devastation everywhere Is most com
plete, both Inside and out. Old peas
ants with the women and children
who for some time had been gather
ed 'by the Germans lu tho largo cen
ters, attempted today, after being lib
erated by tho French and British, to
find tracos of their former homos.
They discovered nothing but heaps of
dobrls. Their agricultural Imple
ments and machinery had been brok
en, all fruit trees sawed through
close to tho ground and grain and
grass seed trampled. This destruc
tion added to the previous confisca
tion of all domestic anlmalB and poul
try In the occupied French provinces
during the list thirty months caused
many to glv way to despair but jo
over the roturn of the French event
ually dominated all other feelings,
ltcfugcm Homeless.
For the present most of tho refu
gee.eft homeless by tho Germans in
the ro-occupled region are subsisting
on what remains In their possession
of tho last American relief consign
ment while awaiting organization of
a French commissariat. In Hani, one
of tho most advanced and Important
towns ro-taken, tho correspondent
was tho first stranger to arrive after
tho French troops entered. Tho In
habitants, many of whom wero still
there, Invariably assorted they had
had no meat or milk for eighteen
months and that whenever they rais
ed chickens or rnbliits for their own
consumption they wero taken by the
Goi mans, who paid for them In bonds
instead of money,
Tho town's greatest featuro. the
famous tower In which Napoleon Hi
was Incarcerated within walls forty
feet thick, was blown to fragment be
fore tho Germans depnrted. All Ger
man Bllvcr money was taken awav
and replarcd by paper. The Inhabit
ants state that fifty young women
and girls were deported, ostensibly to
work for the Germans at Maubeuge.
Village Are DcmtIh.
Slmllnr conditions prevail In other
towns. Tho villages are mere des
erts. The Inhabitants say the Ger
mans before leaving declared they
would lay to waste the whole coun
try so as not to permit the advancing
allied troops to obtain any benefit
from It. French soldiers returning
from reronnnlsvanccs affirm this
program has been fully carried out.
not a rottage, treo or bush being left
whole.
Whero the retreat will stop appears
to lie unknown even to German pris
onera who mnko widely varying
statements. All, however, agree that
Field Marshal Von HlmlcuhurR is tho
leader of the wholo Gorman nilltan
policy. Their respect for his name
Is shown by the fact that even aftei
they are taken prisoner they stall, I at
attention whenever he Is mentioned.

Pioneer's Journey to Coast
A short sketch of Hie pioneer jour
ney to California of Mrs. Urania
Clieesman, who died March 18, 11117,
at Medl'ori!, Oregon.
Urania, daughter of Ohed and I.u
cindii I'olk Macy, was born in Knox
county, Iinliana, on April "ith, 1H2H,
and was married to David W. Chccs
man, October 17th, 184!).
On April 7th, 18.")0, they joined
her parents in the long- and perilous
journey by ox team to California,
buying- their last supplies nt Kansas
City, a frontier village of about "lllll
leople. The Indian village of Wyan
dotte was at the junction of the K:uv
and I lie Missouri rivers. These were
peaceable Indians and wore slcigli
hells on their buckskin lejrgins.
The Pawnee Indians wero rcspre
scntcd to us as hostile, but we hud
no trouble with them, nor with any
oilier liibcs. Our Irain was stricken
by the cholera mid several families
lost members. Among those who died
on June 1 Ith, was Charles l'olk Macy,
a yotingvr lirnlher of Mrs. Clicesmun.
At Salt Iviike t'itv a son was lioni
to Mr. and Mrs. Clieesmnn. Leaving
Sail l.nke Ciy October 8th, we jour
neyed on, finally seeing the now well
known mountain peaks of southern
California, namely, San llernardino,
(Iraybaek, Strawberry peak, Mount
Wilson, and San Antonio, lovim: call
ed "Old Halily," ami many others of
lesser size.
Arriving at the Mojiive river, we
knew we were in California. One
day's travel brought us to the eu-t
oi:d of the Cnjon pass, through which
the Santa Fe railroad now enters the
valley of San Hernardino.
Christmas Day, 18."0 we journeyed
in great peril, for the road reseended
the ridge of the Cnjon mountain,
many places being so narrow that
tlie drivers of the oxen would have
to climb on the "hounds of the wagon
tongue," not having room to walk on
the side. This part was called "The
Devil's Haekbone."'
The famous Kanehos, Cueanionga,
Sim Jose, l',l l'ncnle, 11ml others were
passed. In due lime we came to llic
mission Sun Gabriel, where Mr. anil
Mrs. Checiinan left us, to take the
steamer at the harbor o'f San Pedro
fur the port of Sun Francisco.
Their subsequent, journeys led
tlirm to many parts of California und
Orcion where they were always ac
tive in the political life. Mr. dices
man represented Lake county, Ore
gon, in the assembly tw'o terms, be
ginning 1S74.
Mrs. Clieesman was a typical pio
neer woman, beius; "a neighbor's
friend, v. henever needed."
