Paris. A mile from Fort Doiiauniont, which looks down on the walled city of Verdun, Fntncc, and its ring of defenses, lives a priest who never smiles. He is young, clear-eyed, and does not need the rihhon of the Legion of Honor nor the Cross of War with" the palm that he wears to t -1 1 that 1st has served. He lives today in a wooden hut with the bones of ;',oo,ooo of hU countrymen, the defenders oi Verdun. Time has softened the sharper outlines of his surroundings, and from a distance seems to have iveii the l'Jmile hattle front a ureen carpet. In reality, trenches have slumped in. The rims of shell holes have been rounded by rains, and frosts and melting snows. Acres of tangled rusted harbed wire have heen hidden under weeds and shruhhery. Rifle Barrel Marks Grave. Sonn inches of rusted ritle barrel protrude from Uie noil to mark a grave the workmen have not reached. Fragments of leather and cloth equipment lie scattered about, and even along the more frequented paths one stumbles over bones. The wooden hut where M. IAbbe Noel lives is perhaps ill) feet wide and 40 feet long, the gift of an American committee. At the end opposite the entrance is the altar, and, forming an iiisle, are tiers of collin-shaped boxes, with the lids resting loocly upon them. Kach box is plaearded with the nanu s of the sector along the Verdun front where the fragment was found. Flowers Blanket Coffins. Many of the Collins me heaped blub with Mowers and wreaths, and nil all are visiting ciirds put there by tho-;e whose memories center about the locality nan ed on the box. Of the -loo.-o m French who died at Verdun, said the abbe. ::!0.( o uiH never be identified. An 'osuaire" is to bo erected on this spot, and in it will be placed these 'sacreii bones." where they will rest. Knch sector will have a tomb b-s!nted for it, where now there is a wooden box. Four shrines. Catholic, Protestant, .Iewib and Mu-elniMi, will be groiijKMl about the ossuaire. Fach day adds to the collection that is gathering in the temporary wooden hut whb'h serves until the permanent structure is completed. On the nearest hill is a wooden cross, built and erected by Marshal retain for the dad of his armies. A few yards away is the grave of u French commander. (leneral Anselin. Killed in action. Not far distant and over the crest of the hill is the mas?ive concrete monument built over the "Trench of Uayonets" where an entire company died as they waited, riiles in their hands, the bugle call to i -barge. .Their bodies have never been disinterred and the protruding riiles with bayonet fixed are still clutched by the soldiers whose graves they mark, as though waiting for the long-delayed command to go forward.
