PARTY
Cu the Battlefields
As we intiMateck in, closing our.
article last week,the city of, Lille
was imide the base from which the
Canadian Press Party for two days.
made tl'ips along the great battle
area. By Motor car the first day we
b'd'ltered about eighty-five 'miles in a
northerly direction, and the second
day about slaty -five Miles to the
south, finally including Arras. The
line of battled as is well �,
mown, is
not a str'ai'ght connection between
two points but instead a bending
frout or cur +d, as the circumstan-
ces of war demanded. Many marks
of military occupation'~ and action
iare yet plainly evident, but recon
Struetion activities Have done much
to obliterate the .destruction wrou-
ght byshell and fire. Particularly is
this, so in the good ° farming areas,
but many more years will pass be-
fore the rougher country `is recla'iiu-
ecl. Here and there along the line
portions of the battlefront are kept
just as they were during the war
for the purpose of, showing
travellers something of what took
place during those awful years.
Guides who were well versed in the
various features, accompanied the,
party and pointed out the points of
greater 'interest. Going by motor it
was, of course, impossible to see the
battle front only at ' points where
the road intersected: the lines, but
at all times, far on either side was
to be noted the fact that between
the .Hain battle lines every sembl-
ence of a tree was wiped out, beau-
titin. groves were -destroyed, fields
shelled into a mass of Boles, and
glomes blown into dust. Where the
forest was full grown and the way-
side trees large, the shell fire hit
them so badly that even yet bald
and dead trunks stand out by the
thousands, like: so many weird skel-
etons of war. Beneath the sunny
skies of France they seem to beckon
on. to hell those who set in motion
the infernal machinery of war in
1914.
Mile after mile of battle fron
was covered. From St. Julian to
Arras the Canadian sphere of oper-
ations particularly was conte in -con-
tact with. St. Julian, Vimy Midge,
the second battle of Ypres and Pas-
chendalewere especially interesting
to the Canadian newspaper publish-
ers. The battlefields of Sanctuary
Wood, the Maple Leaf cemetery and
Hill 62 and Memorial Park were not
missed. The foundation of a worthy
national memorial has been laidout
near Sanctuary Wood, awaiting the
day when •a 'suitable memorial will
be erected thereon. The site is a
low, hill which • is surrounded by
stone and the ascent is made by wide
flights of stone steps with spaces of
levelled portions whereon lawns,
fleWer s°and maple trees are planted:,
.The top is a wide expanse of level
sod, surrounded by cement walk
with cein•ent• paths into the Centre,
where, the base of the monument is
laid. The Daughters of the Empire
are taking an active part in the
work of gathering funds for this
great memorial.
a I
Vinly Ridge
Vimy Ridge was looked upon from
various points and closely examined
where our toad intersected it. At
this point it is -particularly in the
same state at it was when captured
by the 'Canadians on that memor-
able morning when the brave boys
swept right over the ridge. Depres-
sions made by exploding shells,
frost line trenches now falling in,
shattered' rock, shell and gun frag-
ments and vire entanglements are
still in evidence. The ridge has been
bequeathed by France to Canada
and the Empire. At `Vimy a moni-
mental ''shaft is also, to be erected.
The Cemeteries
The; rows on rows of crosses' in
the numerous cemeteries was a
painful reminder of the ativfil rav-
ages of tattle, and of the 60,000
Canadians who lost, their lives in the
Great War. The cemeteries . are be-
ing well cared for by the Imperial
War Graves' Commission, and grad-
ually the wooden crosses are being
replaced by stone. These thousands
of crosses stir one to the heart and
speak eloquently of the terribleness
of wstr. Several of our party sought
and found the graves Of sous while
many' others were able to locate the
resting places of relatives or friends
An error, which our party . took
care not to re
r o Peat, was made at
Arras, andconsiderable discomfort
was felt by many of ns in consequ-
ence. A special train had been .en-
gage by Cook's Tourist Agency for
the Canadians, and it was to have
been made up crtain hr
a certain tr'aokat. Aa e
s the partyouconon-
gregated on the .platform, a regular
train, due to leave three minutes
ahead of the special, pulled in„ and
the whole party boarded the regular
which immediately pulled out. 170
people into a train that was already
partly occupied, caused quite a few
to stand throughout the journey `of_
several hours. Conning, as it did,
after a hard, day's travel through
tine war zone, the standing was any-
thing but comfortable, and although
we boarded many trains in the fol-
lowing fewweeks, our guides saw
that 'we never again made the salve
mistake. One of those who was for-
ced to stand' during the train ride
was our old: friend, Wm: McDonald,
of Clrresley, and being a tall man and
past his prime,. his . hands naturally
sought something to hold
41L to.
Reaching above his head, his hand
finally come into contact with a rope
which seemed a fitting thing to
grasp. He did so, not knowing that
it was the bell rope. In a few mom-
ents the train came to a stop,and
the officials hurried throtiigh to find
the reason why some one had rung I
the bell. Needless to say the French'i
and English languages do not read-
ily mix at any time, but much less
so on this occasion. William, like
the rest of us, was perfectly innoc-
ent of the cause of the commotion,
sand it was not until after the train
was well on its way again that a
kindly Frenchman, who was able to
speak English, informed us of what
it was all about. It was too late
then for the miscreant to apologize
or •make amends, so he acted the
part of the wise luau and kept his
silence. The train officials are _ still
looking for the man who pulled the
rope.
Stopped the Train
ON TO PARIS
On June the 25t1i. about 6 p.
we entrained at Arras for Paris,
where the next three days were
spent.
During our days on - the battle-
fields and in Paris the Canadians
were the guests of the exclusive club
the Bienvenue Francaise, of which„
Ma.�.:shall ;Foch.• is the most disting-
uished' Member, and the formal din-
ner under his chairmanship, was one
of the noteable features in the Paris
itinerary. In, his, address of•
come he spoke very highly tof the
part the..Canadian boys had taken,
particularly at Ypres and Vimy. Al-
though he spoke in French his
speech was translated. The Mar-
shall is quite ordinary looking and
very unassuming in manner and ap-
pearance, for, while many generals
and other officers werein military
dress he appeared dressed in plain
('evening clothes, and without a sin-
gle adornment or mark of 1110 . high
rank,.
One of the unique privileges of
the Canadians was a lunch in the
peristyle of the Grand Trianon at
Versailles, 'which connects the two
buildings. Tlris was - a special
favor,` as it was the first occasion of
its kind although the peristyle is
over 100 years old. During the' day
at Versailles we toured the person-
al quarters of the Kings of France,
and their gardens and palace,s visit-
ed the rooms where the delegates
-of all the nations lived during the
days when peace terns were being
drafted, entered the rooms where
tlreyaassenrbled, and sat around the
table where the famous Versailles
treaty was signed in 1919.
In Paris as in Brussels we paid
homage to tine illustrous' dead of the
repiiblic by placing a wreath, on the
tomb of the ,-unknownsoldier and
stood - -With
bared
heads in silence
for one moment. The bier of the
"Soldat Inconnu" is placed beneath
the famous Napoleon Arc de Triunph
and over it is an urn' in which' fire

We were received and entertained
in Paris also by the -President of the
Republic, the Mayor of the city, and
the great newspaper owners.
Although our stay in' the city
was for only three days " and four
nights we found time to tour the city
in cars, visit the >great parks and
historical places; the old buildings,
see the various monuments, muse-
ums, the Prince of Wales residence,
the many arches, beautiful boule-
vards, see the shows, and spend a
few hours in the great stores; as well
as go up, the Eiffel Tower.
The Opera House of Paris is a
wonderful fine building and is, the
largest in the world. The land on

francs. •
On the great square,'the largest in.
the world is «an Egyptian Obelisk
which dates tw;elue centuries before
Christ. The square was the scene
of the guillotining of the King and
Queen.
The Museum of the Louvre is an-
other wonderful- Paris building,
being the largest museum in the
world, started in the 15Th century
and completed in 1858. From the
time of commencement to .. its com-
pletion each succeeding King of.
France added a portion to the build -
Near the Arch of Triumph stands
the .I'Iotel Astoria where the kaiser
had ordered dinner for himself and,
staff to be prepared when he expect-
ed to arrive in Paris,. on August the

war: Needless to say he did, not ar-
rive:
Of history we heard a great deal
and

gotten. Trying Jto:;crowd 'the know-
ledge 01 centuries info a few short
days' is too much of a "task to be suc-
cessfully dote

a newspaper' editor.
On Sunday June 29th we left Paris
by train for Dieppe, crossed the
Channel to New Haven, ant thence
by train to London` where about 6
p.m. we became comfortably settled
in the hotels Cecil, Russell and
Gwalia,

the unique experience of making the
trip by air from Paris to London.
Among them were Mrs. Heaxnan and
Mrs. Skelton, of Exeter. Thevoyage
by air is somewhat of a sensation,
as the earth seems -to recede. The
