The only joint - memorial in the world is one erected by the two South American Republics of Chile and Argentina a few years ago. A} long and bitter dispute regarding the boundary line between the two coun- tries had brought them to the verge of war, when they finally decided to refer their case to Queen Victoria ft: settlement. Her Majesty forthwith appointed a commission, whose deci- cion was announced by King Edward and accepted.

By a strange coincidence the column fell on Wednesday, February 8th, 1854, the selfsame night on which the Russian ambassador left London. When peace was attain restored after the Crimean War. a new Pike was designed and $3,000 collected for its erection. The total cost was over 84.000. and the balance was defrayed by a Todmorden worthy. The second monument-the existing one-w" eomnleted in the summer of 1857.

The broad belt of ruin and desola- tion, which years of stationary war- fare have spread right across France and Belgium, is an extraordinary, a dreadful place. For years to come, to a generation to which the present great cataclysm is a mere name, it will be one of the wonders of the world-or, let us rather say, a stu- pendous monument of civilization" shame. It is the waste of war incor- porate, a pregnant illustration of the appalling futility of war-of that which for forty years and more the German people have worshipped as a national ideal. The Hun has left be- hind him mile upon mile of trenches and acre upon acre of barbed wire entanglements. These are the char- acteristic features of the desert zone: The whole countryside of France and Belgium is scarred with the crumbl- ing evidences of our enemy’s beaver- like industry. Dug-outs Made To Last. What thought must have been ex- pended on the laying-out and siting of those endless mazes of trenches! What sweat poured out of German soldiers and poor persecuted, under- fed prisoners of war in their digging'. What long nights, of relentless work in the dark-often under fire. often interrupted by the dazzling brightness of the star-shells-do these innumer- able belts of barbed wire, belt suc- ceeding belt, now rusted and broken and useless, represent! And the dug- outs scooped into the bowels of the earth, well constructed, timbered, often lined with sacking! They were built to endure, built to last as long as Germany's enemies did not tire of hitting their heads against the "steel wall of the West." The steel wall bent and broke; the dug-outs remain- ed, and are there to this day-hor- rible caves, untenanted, forbidding.

The British army wastes very little to-day, and step by step the salvage men follow the Army, sweeping up the litter of war. "The Deserted Village.” The German made himself quite; comfortable in France. During the long months of comparative quiet,' when on the drilling grounds and in the factories of Great Britain and France the day of reckoning with "gultur' was being prepared, the in- vader made himself quite at home in village, rield and forest. How bitter- ly he must hate the British, who, on ‘the glorious First of July, when the "runs of the Somme roared out their Ichallenge to German supremacy, pav- led the' way for the Nemesis which [has overtaken Germany’s crime against civilization. In a forest clear- ing one may see where the invader built himself an Arcadian settlement of log houses, each with its little verandah, comfortably furnished and lit by electric light. Into this peace- ful spot, where the Germans in spring and summer must have lived a truly iidyllic existence, the great British ishells came screaming, smashing the g huts to atoms. flattening out the roofs ,with the ancient trees sent crashing idown. drenching the forest and stifi- ing the vegetation with that deadliestl of all German "iiirrisirGU-Uioiron-easc) Now the clearing is deserted and mel.. _ ancholy, a sinister picture of des-) traction. The ferns have crown in and out of the ruined planking of the huts; the bark has crumbled off the splintered verandah rail, the thick undergrowth which almost conceals the shell craters smell evilly of dead things. But the picture is comfort- ing, notwithstanding, for the aban- doned clearing speaks of the discom- titure and retreat of the Boche. The Trail of the Serpent. The live German has fallen back from France, but he has left his dead behind. In the valley and on the plain, on hillside and on ridge, amid the desolation of empty trench and rusting wire, the German graves stand. Here there is a single cross hastily nailed together and put up over a filled-in shell-hole; there a more elaborate memorial-a handsome solidly carpentered cross, with the dead man's style and title set forth in full beneath a florid representation of the Iron Cross. In every village churchyard, beside the heap of ruins where once the peasants worshipped, but a little apart from the broken and often violated tombs, the Ger- man dead are buried in rows, the dates on their crosses clearly record- ing the ebb and flow of the tide of war, It is an eerie thing to wander through the desert zone. The Army has moved on with man and horse, limber and lorry. tent and hut. There are no civilians, no shops, no houses, no barns. The fields lie fallow, torn and rent by the shells of four years' campaigning. gushed and seamed by trenches. The countryside has re- lapsed into primordial desolation, and is waiting for man with all the re- sources of civilization at his hand to build and plant and sow as he did at the beginning of time. One may walk for miles in places amid every evidence of the recent presence of man-the cold, oven-air hearths. the odd bits of clothing scattered about, the remains of food-yet as far as the eye can reach there is no sign of anything living. The desert is a desert indeed. But its very silence tells of German hopes dashed, of Ger- man plans foiled.

Silent Listeners Who Guarded Eng- land's Shores in War-Time. The sentry paces slowly up and down along the sea-wall. Seawards his gaze takes in the stretch of gleaming mud that seems to reaeh out right to the limit of vision. For this is the East Coast of England, and the tide is right out, a very long way out. .

The hut blends so well with the surrounding drabness that only a sharp eye would see that it was there. No sound seems to break the still- ness except the shrill cries of the sea-birds as they wheel and turn over the glistening mud. And yet the sentry has stopped his pacing, and in a semi-strained attitude appears to be listening intently. He turns about and hurries into a small, box-like re- cess in the wall, and, with his gaze sweeping the sky, he commences to speak into the telephone: "There, sergeant'. Right-o!

Before the W the British War Omee owned only about ninety ve- hicles of all kinds, but private manu- fncturers had begun to build a “sub- sidy” type vehicle designed to meet military requirements. When war broke out steps were taken immedi- ately to construct the “subsidy" type in large quantities. At present the number of vehicles on the books of the mechanical transport branch run into five figures, end the personnel of the corps has grown in proportion. Overseas the motor vehicle is put to every possible use in maintaining the army in the field. The vehicles are used to transport food, are put to various services in the medical corps, draw the larger gun: and howitms, carry ammunition and troops and dis- tribute mail and water. Specinl ve- hieles curry tutti-nireraft guns, while others are used for tethering obser- vation balloons. To maintain this great number of vehicles there are hundreds of sta- tionary and mobile workshops with complements of mechanics. Both men and women are drivers.
