Till. Kjwer and strength of heavy
cannon confront the adversary from
Dunkirk to Venice, barring the bit of
Switzerland. Their message of death
forces ally and boclie to take refuge
under tho earth, to lie flat upon Its
scancd surface, to give and take. In a
fight that has endured three and a half
years. Franco has said In tones of
clarion heard around tho world, ' lis no
passeront pas."
I have Fcen this situation on the
Somme, at tho Chemln den Dames, nt
Verdun, at Hholms nnd St, Mlhiel and
Lunevllle. For months t have voyaged
from one secteur of the French front
to another, with the ever-growing cer
tainty In my mind that nothing the
boche can ever do. even If the antici
pated offensive of which rumor Is In
the air, comes off, will ever break
through: that tho victory Is with the
Allies because of the advent of the
United States
I write these lines In the phadovv of
Pont-a-Mousson, the little city lvlng
upon both binks of the Moselle, the
scene of tremendous fighting In the early
davit of tho war, a picturesque town
whose outer edge of housoso has been for
threo ears nnd a half In the very front
line. In the far-back springtime of
Peace, I remember Pont-a-Mousson, and
my first sight of It, lvlng In a gentle
hnze of early spring morning As I saw
It today, a mass of ruin In the main,
most of Its houses mre wreckage, others
still standing and Inhabited, I was struck
with the courage of those who still Uvea
within Its borders Tho majority are
women, for tho most obvious nnd oft
repeated reason that all the men ore
dead or In tho uniform of the potlu.
SCKN'i: OP Dt;SOLAlION
I walked Its desolated streets In a
gulo of wind and u. falling mixture of
rain and hall, all the way out to the
front line, among the ruins of houses
about which are mltrallleu'o and trench
mortar and the guarding soldier of
Prance, .nnd back again througii the
cltv.
The Grand Place reminded mo of an
ancient object of art, demolished, Jet
Ftindlng still The shops about It were
opn, selling all forts of merchandise,
tho customers being only pollus of
I course, In tho main. They offered tho

She was as we II nwnrc as anjuouy tnai

her, even upon tho brldgo we were cross

lets might encompass us, If uny boche
should tnko It Into his evil head to fire
througii the rain and hall.
"How long hnvo jou lived here, ma
dame?" 1 asked as wo reached the other
bank.
"Mon Dleu. monsieur, nlwajs." she
answered, surprised apparently by the
uselesness of the question: 'ninavs. I
was born here. It Is my home. I do
not wunt to go anywhere else, nnd be
sides, If I did, where would mj man
come to after the war ana no is re
