EWING SEES DEVASTATED FRANCE Luther Eaton of Plainfield w ————— Rev. George H. Ewing, formerly pastor of the First Congregational church, Norwich Town, who is now in Y. M. C. A. work in France, gives a vivid degcription of the devastation wrought by war in that country in a letter he sends from Arras to the “Editor and Readers of The Bulletin.” He writ s follows: Arras, France, Dear Friends To travel from Paris to Arras is to transport one’ self in a four hours’ railway journey from a refined civil- ization into blasted barbarism. We have said Goodbye to comforts and are welcomed to a camper’s rude life with indefinite if not infinite opportunities for Christian se®vice. To journey north from Paris is speedily to gain one vast scene of lurid devastation. 1 had been reading in a French newspaper the story of the attempt upon Clemen- ceau’s life as we whirled through the first less interesting miles. Then sud- deniy 1 sprang to the window trar fixed. . All that I had read of fierce and appalling destruction was being verified before my eves. On either side the track as we sped along the field were gouged as by some gigantic steam shovel. Big holes and little hole rious rendings and writhing contor- tions where deadly missiles had torn their ravaging course in different di- ctions. Ikindless entanglements of barbed wire strung on slender iron rods served to fence off No Man's Land, le the wrecked remains of trenches ran everywhere their devious cours Dugouts in every sandbank and nnpruw d o told a harrow- of the fierce fight for life :d over four fearful s were numerous but so 1 could observe not one of them Now and then we came villages laid well-nigh flat and deserted. For miles and miles | scarcely a sign of humfn life, and only the awfui ravages of war. And then we came to the grim ai ctral remains of what was once the large city of Albert, now left without a house standing and utterly uninhab- itable—one great enchanted ruin with the cathedral tower loomin Iy in the distance. Our train pa what s once the railroad statio platform of which alone re- nd we never stopped. A city nd a place for ert where once a luxuriant civ- 2 n reading M Faith of France.

Feb. 24, 1919, up little utterly jacl flouris through ‘ And then Arras! Arras! Once a city half as large again as Norwich, over and again the subject of fierce bombardment, the inhabitants harass- ed and terrified and finally driven away. We swung into a railroad sta- tion hattered and bruised beyond de- seription, all glass shattered, the sub- stantial architecture of the facade ut- terly disfigured, a jagged ruin, and the train shed the mer skeleton of iron- work. Not a building in the eity in- tact, everywhere the marks of desola- tion' aund abandonment—window glass great rents through roofs, front gone, side walls gaping wounds that disclose the havoe wrought within. The city has been terribly shot up but it. has not been razed to the ground like Albert. As alw the i buildings were the target for the man_shelifire, and the Hotel de is an unrecognizable mass of ruins, though its scarred tower still rises a broken and menacing specter to com- mand the open square about it. As the frost has been coming out every now and then a stone or brick or mass of mortar comes tumbling down from crumbling wall or cornice and we are warned to walk in the middle of the reet Does thi pigture of all convey a dead city to you any clear Let me modif: the impression.
