Colonies of dead, marked by lines of crude wooden lie everywhere under newly sod at the edges of woods and, thickets and in ravines—German and French. The shifting of battle scenes may be traced by following them. They are thickest there where was fought the great battle of Nancy that began with the retreat of the French from Morhange and reached its cli- max during the battle of the Marnc.

That gap became the tomb of the entire regiment. The cemetery >ve is not so dense but far more extended than that of the Loisy Gap. The Germans, forced by the re. ce of the company of in- Loisy to try to a flank movement around the heights of Sainte Genevieve, obtained a success before the heights of Cuittes, where French crosses predominate. Tt wsas then, thinking he saw the route open- ing up for his troops, the Emperor of Germany issued his famous order of the day: ‘Tomorrow in Nan Sainte Genevieve was still be ¥'s troops and the Lorr al: it is today the cemetery of st of them. The French, too, fell in such numbers there as to disquict the officers, who called the attention of Commandant M. to the losses. “No matter,” replied the c dant, “we won't give an inch quired an order from the induce him to take up a s sition a little in the rear.
