The furniture Was atill in the rooms and clothing rewn all over the floor, Every- thing had been spoiled by rain and the shells and was on the verge of falling apart, but for all that it was still evident that it had been occu- Pied by people of wealth. One of the rooms must have been that of a young lady. In a dresser I found a pink evening gown and other articles of feminine apparel. I took it for granted that the owner of the dress was some beautiful girl, and I was atill wondering what she might look like when Montgomery sneaked up the stairs and shouted to me to come down, I took the gown along and it was one of the treasures of the mess until I gave it to a peasant girl, On the next floor must have been the room of the old man. We found several pipes and & pair of slippers and a torn nightrobe. Back of this room was a sort of conservatory; it had been a pretty place once, but was that no longer. All the glass was broken and the flower pots and boxes lay pell-mell on the floor, witn every plant in them dead. We examined the rooms on the ground floor and found that Tommie had been there before us, In the kitchen we made a haul, however. We got a lot of dishes, three cut glass fruit platters, two soup tureens, some silver Knives and forks and two kitchen chairs, Then we went to the wine cellar, but not a drop did we find. A lot of empties gave evidence that some- body had had a good time in that cellar. On leaving the house I spied a book. It turnel out to be the Old and New Testament in Dutch, and in it was a curd Which I took to be that of the young lady. The Bible I sent to an old church-going friend and the card I kept myself We were about to drive off when we heard-a dull boom in the distance, and a few seconds later a big shel screeched over ua and exploded a block away, The ruins of Ypres were a striking sight.

There was no life in Ypres—nothing but rats, rats, and millions of tnem. I went into several houses which had been inhabited by people of wealth and everywhere met traces of the things which make for refinement—paint- ings, good furniture, and beautiful candelabra. Everything had been wrecked. Before long the big guns of the German batteries started and their shells again began to level Ypres, for which they seemed to hold @ hatred. Shortly after that I was trane- ferred to headquarters as # motor- cycle despatch bearer. Motor-cycling on @ good road is a pleasure, but on wet cobblestones and in the mud !t is anything but that. It is {mpossible to go fast because that shakes the wheel all to pieces and ts likely to break your neck, and when you go slow everybody grumbles. In a coun- try such as Flanders, especially when the rainy spell is on, motor-cyoling keeps you covered with mud from head to foot, and despatch riding 1s the very thing to keep you going day and night, Occastonally you run Into @ shell-hole in the dark and that means that your shins are always minus much of their bark, Another feature of despatch riding is that you move constantly in zones where & shell may cal] you fn at any moment 1 made a trip up to tie ae was going along at a fairly & speed when a scream and a crash about twenty-five yards ahead of mé suddenly halted my progr he next thing I knew I was lying against the bank on the side of the road some fifteen feet away fram the mo- tor-cycle.

It dropped six bombs, but only two of them ex- ploded. But the two did their work, killing flve women and two children and @ police sergeant and his horse. I looked up at the plane and wished that I could get at it for a few min- utes. The anti-aircraft guns were working hard to down the machine, but did not touch {t at all While in this sector, 1 saw lots of atrocities committed by the Germans. Although I could hardly believe all the stories [ heard about them, there was no vestige of doubt left in my mind after seeing with my own eyes what the Germans were capable of doing. I was driving up the road one after- noon about 4 o'clock, ‘The sky was clouded and made the devastated coun- k all the more lonesome igh ten miles behind the lines, the guns could be heard plainly and I felt lonely and homesick.
