WEUSE-ARGONE 1S STILL DEVASTATED Havoc of War, Where Ameri- cans Foaght, Is Evident BY WEBB MILLER Montfaucon, Meuse-Argonne Bat. tlefield, France, Nov. 14. (UP) After ten years this towering hill dominating the region .where the greatest battle in America’'s history ! started, in' which 631,405 Americans and 138,000, French smashed through the Hindenburg line and defeated 610,000 Germuns, Is deeply arred by the terrible struggle. On the crest of the hill the thick- walled concrete machine-gun «m- placements and artillery shelters are still standing. Some are par- tially smashed as they were left by the advancing American troops. One of the thickets shelters was | used by the German Crown Prince as an observation point during the battle of Verdun. luside one shel- ter there are vestiges of the cxplo- sion of hand-grenades which Ameri- cans tossed through the narrow openings where the noses of ma- chine guns protruded. Now the em- placements are covered with tall weeds and thistles. The church on the crest rem: & heap of grass-grown ruins, and the hospital s likewise. There is a tall wooden observation tower constructed by Americans just afl- er the Armistice, #till standing. any penciled their names on the sides ‘and a few are still legible. The record Charles H. Mason, 79th Division, left of his visit is still visible, Another proudly wrot: “Seventy-ninth division captured Montfaucon.” At the s&ide of the hill the village of Montfaucon is entirely rebuilt. Shell-holes can still be secn among the apple or- chards on the hillsides, From a distance of many miles the top of Vauquoi Hill appears asa livid wound. The rain of shells blasted the fertility from the earth and very little \egetation has sprung up. Rupprecht’s Dugout Near Harazee there are many concrete shelters in the hillsides where troops crouched during the bombardments. Retween Harazee and Four de Paris are dozens o “fox-holes” the Americans hastily dug in chalky bluffs. The hamlet of I'our de Paris cxists now only as a cross marking the site. Many will remember I’rince Rup- precht’s famous luxurious dugout in the dppths of the Argonne woods where he had installed running water, electric light, and a billard room. Although the plateglass windows and all the fittings and fur- niture have disappeared there is still plenty of evidence of the amazing luxury of Rupprecht’s un- derground. hide-away. At Vienne-le-Chateau, in the middle of the Argonne, the house where the New York division had headquarters in the cellar is en- tirely repaire and caters to tour- ists as a restaurant. A blue-pen- eiled sign indicating the “30th In- fantry Headquarters” still remains pasted on a door. In a shattered tree outside a pole erected by the Beventy.seventh to -carry their wireless aerial is standing today Only a few miles away the little ravine where the ‘Lost Battalion” was cut off and lost 370 of its 564 men is a thicket. The village of Vienne-le-Chateau had 1,500 inhab- itants before the war, now there are 500. Appalling Devastation Back toward the Champagne bat- tiefields the devastation remains appalling. The battiefield has been left untouched. In this region many villages werc cxtegninated forever. The Second and Rainbow divisions and Texas and Oklahoma troops remember this secctor. Mas- siges is a pile of stones no higher than a man, Perthes-les-Hurlus is ® heap of rubble with only a sign to indicate that it was a country village of several hundred inhavit- ants, Murlus is a mound covered with thistles. No human being lives within many miles. Through the Argonne the shat- tered chunks of concrete of the Hindenburg Line lic where the shells threw them. In ten years vegetation has covered some sec- tions. It is not worth cxpense to clear up the debris and it il probably lie there forever as an informal monument to the great Mcuse Argonne battle which lasted 48 days and in which the Ameri- can army suffered 117,00 casual- ties. * ins This is the third of a serics of four articles dealing with the war zone as it now is, The Chateau Thierry of the pres- ent will be described tomorrow by Miller in the last of this series of articles, ROBABLY that belching after eat- ing is nothing more than the sign of excessive gastric acid.

Miss Gaffney, as Florence Ainsiec, is a young lady of 20 summiers, en- gaged to Dr. Niles of Indiana. She | comes to New York on a visit with I her aunt to Mary Marshall, her cou- sin. She is surprised as well as liorrified to discover her fiance ap- pavently married and the father of a child. Things are not as bad as they seem however, because Dr. Niles is only playing the part of a nd to Mrs. Marshall for the evening. Before this Is made clear, Miss Ainslee, in a stormy and tear- ful scene, breaks off her engagement and dashes her ring fo the floor. Later the matter is cleared up, and the lovers are seen in the moonlight on the veranda. |Lina Busqu&e_ t_o_ \-\'ed Peverell Marley Hollywood, Nov, 14 (P — Lina Basquette, screen actress, dancer {and widow of Sam Warner of the !Warner Brothers studio firm, was 'announced yester as engaged to |marry Peverell Marley, chicf cam- raman for the De Mille studi |The announcement was made by th luctress’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Er- Inest Belcher, who indicatcd that no | wedding date had been set The fifth and sixth I {in the world are Chicago ( |and Tokie (2,270.000), ‘gost cities T01,705), THE BEST SINCE 1820 Neither Undeted Nor Overheated E comfortable home is neither underheated on severely cold days, nor cverheated at other times.
