MEURTHE-HOSELLE WAR WOUNDS HEAL Superficial Damage Rasily -Re- paired in French District ‘Nancy, Sept. 12 (UP)—The Meur- the-et-Moselle owes its part in the war largely to its peculiar geogra- phical formation, the bulk of the-de- partment being in the form of a circle with Nancy, the capital, as its axis, with a long arm reaching straight north to the Luxembourg vness of this empl E itrary na- ture of the Germans capturing the slender ing almost simultan wy and Bri tined never to fortified city of lose Luneville after a was Grande fought battle Couror which. by occu force of Germans, was the deciding factor in the fifst battle ¥ Marne despite its undec Thereaster of e supporting troops bein in the Forest of Hay, itself through eight w days.

Reports show than 950,000 acres were ploughed up by shell fire, 370,080 of them previously tilled. Five hundred and forty-two factories were dismantled, 4,630 kilometres of highway were damaged, 111 kilometres of railway were put out of business. As 1n the Meuse, there is no way checking, but it is probable that American shells accounted for half of this damage, necessary as it wa .in the space of one monfh or less: The Meurthe-et-Moselle has mended quickly, partly because its damages were of a nature ly disposed of, partly because of the hardy stock which peopled and still peoples this department—more Teu- tonic than Latin certainly. probably more German than French as The upper arm of the department has returned to its normal state, which is that of a mining com- munity, not pretty but industrious. The lower part again has become a peaceful farming region. The Uni- versity of Nancy has patched its roofs, erected two new buildings, tacked memorial plates on all the facades, passed all its earlier records for attendance—and this in spite of the appearance rival at Stras- bourg, after forty-seven years. The department 1s known as a home of good eaters and good livers gener- ally, and the peasants and miners seem¥ to have settled into a tem- porary coma They have not for- gotten the war and probably will not.
