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.

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 Which w it stands cost ten million 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 14th, ten days after commencing the war: Needless to say he did, not ar- rive: Of history we heard a great deal and much of wehave sinc,e it • ince _ox gotten.

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, 11. number` of the party enjoyed 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.
