PARIS, Nov. 13 (Correspondence of Associated Press.) Carrying their little bundles of household posses sions the French refugees are return InK to their homes in Chateau Thierry and the little French villages around It, to Vaux, Lucy, lielleau and ,tho rest, places now a part of American history. They are coming back to ruins of villages and houses demolished by German or American artillery, to live in cellars and in the shelter of tot tering walls until they can rebuild their homes and. their return is a pitiful Fpectacle. Sometimes they tind no home at all. Never do they find any furni ture. Often they find no food, and j then the American fted Cross steps in and helps them. The woman who can die; out her stove from a heap of diit and plaster and patch It up again so that it will burn counts herself in ordinately lucky. One woman found remaining of all her household goods JuPt one big salt-cellar. Forks are worth their weight in gold, and a feather bed is prized above rubies. Five thousand five hundred blankets the Red Cross shipped out to return ing refugees In a single week. Too I'ttcrly lluined The people In the Aisne will not he able to spend the winter in their own villages. The villages on the hanks of the little ..lame are too ut terly hattercd by sheila to afford hu man habitations daring the winter weather. .Now, while days are warm and skies are blue, their owners can find some tiny corner or other to live in, but the rain and mud and chilly damp of a French winter will drive them, or if it does not a paternal government will send them, back to their temporary linmpq -n the unin vaded provinces to wait for spring. One purport in sending them home so quickly was to harvest tho wheat crops but there was no food, so the lied Cross established canteens in many villager and served two meals a day free to those too poor to pay while others paid smail sums. Forty carloads of food were sent to the Mar no and tho Aisne in a single month. A nro.ery store has been opened in Chaleau Thierry which al ready la a busy town again, tho the walls of its houses have been shat tered and torn by shells. To keep in truders out the residents scrawl on their homos in chalk "Proprietor re turned" or "House occupied." I let! Cross Itcady To Amien3 the refugees are just beginning to return but they will come soon in large numbers, and they will find Jig Hed Cross ready to receive them. There is a big building in Amiens that was a boys' school in those half-forgotten days when the city was not under shell firo. It be longs to the Hed Cross now, aad its class rooms are turned to strange uses. There Is a big "salle de recep tion," there tho returning refugees are sorted out and their needs ascer tained. There is a canteen that serves two hot, nourishing meals a day. There Is a long dormitory with beds for the weary ones who come back to find empty rooms and roof leas houses. There are two dispen saries, und dispensary doctors -find much to do In a country where people live precariot;?, hand-to-mouth exis tences. A The Red Woss workers furnish clothing to t lie shivering shabby peo ple, warm flannel shirts and under wear, stocking, and shoes and sabots. Twelve thousand garments went out from Paris In a single day. ml they furnish work for people, who must have a little money if they are to live. FIELDS OF FRANCE ISKIHXI) TI1K AMKIilCAX IJXKK. Nov. IX Recommendation that the American militarv authorities in France should, alter the war. take charge of reestablishing the devas tated regions of France and that German prisoners should be nmde to repair the damages they did in France will be made bv the American agricul tural commission now here.

Yet, ns this commission sees it. as soon as the country is readv for agricultural , restoration, the agricul tural population will he on the spot waiting to rebuild their shattered farms and farm cuuipment. "Thev are pitifully attached to their homesteads though in thousands of cases there is onlv the cellar remain ing. Though not their war alone. France and lielgium have furnished the battlefield. We nre hero to fight for France fur our common defense, the battlefield being furnished bv cir cumstances.
