Williamson, M.A., Ph.D., of Hobart College, Geneva, N.Y.: With the exception of a week spent in "the Loire country, viewing many castles, my stay in France was limited largely to Paris where I settled down for about one month, making, however, many interesting day-trips to points of interest in the vicinity, Of these, I shal mention only Senlis, a town whose origin goes back to Gallo-Roman times and which figured rather prominently in the early days of the Great War. Senlis has preserved very well its me- dieval character, in fact some traces of Gallo-Roman walls may still be seen in the ruins of its castle, which served as a royal residence from the time of Clovis down to the reign of Henry 1V (4th to 16th century). The ruins are eloquently in they changes record most of fashion ies. made without destroying the Roman arch may be seen with a Goth. straight lines of a later Renaissance fashion.

We started out along the line of Fort Brimont and Hill 108, passing over country which is producing its first crop in ten years. Some of the fields indeed have not yet been cultivated sufficiently for sowing. We stopped to examine Hill 108 where the Germans had stored most of the ammunition us. ed in this whole section. The French and German lines were here within a few hundred yards of each other with the Aisne canal sepprating them. It took the French a year and a half to get across the canal and entrench them selves in the low-lying land on the oth- er side. Their trenches here were much lower than the canal level, the result interesting, not only on account of!a considerable their historic traditions, but because were drowned. the finally compelled to evacuate Hill 108, architecture but before they retired they blew up during a period covering many centur. ! all their munitions Each royal resident seemed to seven hundred Frenchmen who were make changes to suit the taste of his advancing up the time, but these changes were often! formed by the explosions must be at older least sixty feet deep and one hundred forms: Thus a door with an original | yards in circumference. ic arch built in right under it and this | filled in later on to conform to the] lin the Aisne valley (the old village had Senlis has acquired a new interest.

At the same time when one considers that out of the fourteen thousand houses which com- posed the city twelve thousand were entirely destroyed and only sixteen remained uninjured, one is rather sur- prised that the cathedral escaped as well as it did. Certainly the Germans could not have deliberately tried to des troy it. Had they done sd they could easily have reduced it to the state of the Cloth Hall at Ypres, of which only an unsightly mass of stone and mortar remains. However, the damage done is bad enough. Part of the roof has been demolished, but the facade, ohe of the most ornate in Europe, is fortunately intact for the most part, although some of the statues and fine carvings have been injured by the shock of shell fire. The archbishop's palace on the right of the cathedral was destroy- ed by fire in September, 1914. Although the work of restoration is being pushed as rapidly as possible, large sections of Rheims still lie in ruins. Work on the cathedral is pro- sept is being used for worship at pre- sent and it will probably take several years before the whole edifice can be restored to anything like its former state. Battlefields Around Rheims. While in Rheims I took the appor- tunity of seeing the battlefields in the immediate vicinity. The regular sight- seeing car happened to be filled, so that two persons and myself made the tour in a taxi. I was very glad that such an arrangement was necessary because I had a seat beside the chauffeur, a Frenchman who had fought in this dis- trict during many months of the war.

Another place which we passed and, of which only the name survives was Chevreux --the large boiler of a canning factory All through this district the orchards and forests had been so torn to pieces by shell fire that they will practically have to be replanted. Heaps of rusted barbed wire and other rubbish still litter some of the fields, and numerous cemeteries recall the dark years of 1914-18, Work of Restoration. Comparing the battlefields which I saw near Rheims with those which I saw two years ago one can see that considerable work of restoration had been going on. The gaping shell holes have been filled up, the fields to a large extent cleared and ploughed. The first work is done by government agents who remove unexploded shells and put the fields in order for refertiliza- tion and planting. In many cases the farmer must find his work exceedingly difficult for generally a new surface soil has to be created before crops can be grown.

People Seem Prosperous. The Germans, however, do not seem to be suffering under high prices any more than the rest of us. Theatres and operas are crowded as usual, the res- taurants and cafes are well patronized; the people are well-dressed, well-fed-- in short as far as the ordinary visitor can observe their style of living is very much what it was before the war. There probably is a certain amount of poverty and suffering but it is no more evident that it was in 1914 when I spent the summer in Germany. On the other hand public utilities have greatly improved during the past two years, which seems to suggest that a great 'deal of money has been spent. Travel- ling conditions which were pretty bad in 1922 have been vastly improved. There are better trains with fine new cars. In the dining cars (this part of the service is well organized) there are printed signs requesting passengers not to offer tips to the waiters as they are adequately paid. (America with all its wealth cannot boast of such a rate of perfection). A few months ago a new, up-to-date telephone system was in- augurated in several of the larger ci- ties, such as Leigzig, Dresden, Berlin, It is the dial system by which you ring up "your party" without the help or interference of a telephone operator. Much time and patience is saved by this system, but it. costs a great deal of money to install it as the machinery required is very delicate and compli- cated.
