Huge Guns Still Batter
Arras, City of Ruins
Continued from pace 1
to ?s??? an American again. He asked me how I liked trench mud, and
said it was great fun to chase the Germans through it.
From Mont St. Blol the French swarmed down the long hill and
took T.a Targette. Prom there the French Fj.read out. and in desperate
fighting ?seized the "labyrinth" and straightened their line to Roclin
C'urt. Here they moved their lines a little tn the east, and then their
s?-?i?thern anchor was thoroughly prepared for the big drive.
\RR\S. A MONUMENT OF RUN.
Arras Is the pivotal point cf the southern anchor, and it will always
remain a monument to German stupidity and insensate love of dc-truc?
tion for the sake of destroying. It is not, like many other p'a.-cs, com?
pletely wiped out. Banchgg, for example, is levelled to the ground?not
a wall left with one stone on top of another. A'ilain St. Nar.aire is a
mere shell. An occasional wall remains f( r half its original height,
while here and there a few broken roof beams Bn_g_ie their splintered
ends feebly in the north wind. Carency lies In the cellars.
These places were all captured by the C?ermana at the beginning of
the war, and were retaken by the French in fierce fighting from house
to house. Bloody struggles have raged in the.r streets, and despite the
cannons' work one can still see where the barricades she'tered now the
French, now the Germans, from ?the searching fire of the mitrailleuses.
Aira?, on the contrary, was never ii
German po??e?sion, and the Frend
rover fought with their feet on the sol
of the town. The Germans wer?
? ?"pped rearly two kilometre? distant
ar.d there the French trenche? ba?e re
malned for fifteen months impugna
1 le ngnins? all attacks. Yet not a daj
; pa?*e? without German shell? failing

Destruction Without Sense.
Arrss la something which cannot bo
understood, and is hardly to be he
tiered even after It ha? boOfl seen. The
destruction Is so absolutely senseless.
On? seeks vainly the reason, arid if
pot the reason, then the excuse, for
fifteen months' bombardment of the
deserted city only 1,200 are left of a
population of _7,0fi0 where the gTRRI
trows In the Btrecta and the walls
erumbie like age-o'd ruins.
I lunched In Arra. last Thursday,
and while I sat at the table a (ierman
fell In a nearby street. There
were six In our party, led by two of?
ficers from the (?eneral Staff. Our of?
ficer showed us a lead box and a hole
in the garden, where 'he owner of the
?? had buried a million frai M wl Bfl
ermana began their bombardment.
The meal was serve.; m a h <h-rell
inged, oak-raf'ered room, decorated
with stags' heads und other trophies of
the hunt. The officer opened the doot
and showed us the next room, where
the plaster littered the carpet. The
wail was gone, and we looked up to
the iky through a great bola in the
roof. Ile searched Ms friend's cellars
and brought lit. a bottle of fine old
wine. As we raised the glassea to our
lips the thandei of the big g us i i-oke.
"This wine must be dru* k in ie

Our captain moved over to the piano

"Play Warner.' play Tristan,' said
the lieu'er.atit.
"Wha?'" said one of the party, "do
you play Wagner?"
"What was beautiful remains beau?
