Washington, Oct 11.—OmittIng from the .picture the glorious armies on the battlefields and in the big war fac- tories, a close-up view ‘of France to- day would be marked by three fea-— tures: First—What war has done to the children. ‘ Second—The tragedy of the repatri- ates. : | Third—The terrible solitude in, the regions desolated iby the German in- vaders, These were the points made in a talk I had with Dr. Albert Parker Fitch, Amherst professor, who has just.returned from a French town for the Red Cross. | “Perhaps,” said he, “the first im- pression is what war costs the non- combatants—the aged, the helpless, the very young. ’ “One who has been in France never thinks of war without seeing the chil- dren—looking like little birds with reed-like arms and legs, with scrawny faces and too-old eyes. “I think of the little girl I saw in Hoye, who had lost high right arm because the retreating army had buried a shell in the coal where she went to get the daily fuel for her: mother. | “Qr I think of the little boy at! Marigny, who had lost one of his legs from shell fire; or the little child 1 saw at Toul, who had been literally frightened out of her wits by the shock and horror of the battle‘eld,! and sat always gazing furtively ae France is full of these sick children, sick because they have been deprived of the care of their parents, because they had no shelter from rain and storm, because of the lack of food. { coo E.

The Giants, inspired by victory yesterday, planned to make it two straight and even up the series. Probably 33,000 saw the fray yes- terday.

In a more sinister sense that may be said of the portions of France from which the Huns have been driven. The enemy showed a well defined policy as he gave back the land to its children. He meant so to leave it that the heart of France should be broken, the spirit to fight gone. “Hence, like the primitive tribes of old, he fought against France's God jand in each ruined villages the parish church is a heap of powdered stone. “Next he destroyed the town hall where the records of birth, death, marriage, land tenures, all the data that help in the perpetuation of a secure and orderly existence were to be found, and ‘burned the records. ; “Next he attacked the great his- torical monuments.

Guns of Many Types. Some of the guns with which the American artillerymen are training are wonderful and ponderous exam- ples of the French gunmakers’ skill. In caliber, the guns range from the short, squat mortars, which sit upon their haunches like giant frogs, up through the various members of the Howitzer family to the sinister naval rifles, with their long tapering bar- rels. Men of Long Experience. Most of the heavy gunners are men of long experience, and do not need much practice before taking their places in the line. They have been surprised to find that speed is not a great factor. These heavy weapons are used for destructive purposes and there is no special need for haste when dealing with defenses that can- not run away. Accuracy is the great goal of all heavy gunners. It is pre- dicted that all the old time gunners will make splendid officers in active service. PREPARING HOME SCHOOLS. ‘Washington, D.
