WAR RUINED SECTIONS OF FRANCE1 ARE ONLY PARTIALLY RECLAIMED

Br JIM3 UO!U0 PARIS, July 29. (By mail to the Palladium). The war-ruined regions of France have only been partially reclaimed in three years of endless patient labor so great was the destruction wrought over vest regions of the country In two days of continuous motoring we only passed through a small part of the devastated land. The burden of reconstruction is a heavy and discouraging: one for the French people andone which must be carried for many years. Much territory has been ajain cultivated and many towns have been rebuilt on their former sites, but there are still long stretches of fields full of barbed wire, bodies, unexploded shells and the biinchless hulks of trees.

Our .drive started from Paris to

Soisson3 along the road taken by the American troops to the battle front by way of Villes wood, an important American sectorthe one on which the Rainbow division made its stand. Acres of ground are covered by the remains of the once thick forest where

the Americans made such a Iferoic stand. The woods which were the scene of much hand-to-hand fighting suffered great destruction from shell and gas.

Many of the trees have been blown in pieces by explosions while scores were killed by the poisonous gases j Terrible Spectacle Soissons is still a terrible spectacle of the devastation wrought there .Some streets have been cleared and some houses restored..- Other streets ' are blocked with stone and other . building materials and houses have either shell torn walls or are reduced ; to heaps of ruins. i On from Soissons dead trees gassed ; or remains of trees torn by exploding shells line the roads and fields as far as the eye can see. Cleared land with its cultivated fields is broken by enor- . mous piles of barbed wire ani many ; plots with row upon row of white

crosses. The American dead are

', cared for in six cemeteries, whi'eeven!

more are filled with the British, Ital-1 ;, ian and French. The French respect : the dead and have buried Gtrman soldiers in their cemeteries, their graves being marked by black crosses bearing their identification numbers. ; Uncleared land is netted with barbed wire filled with shell holes and undermined with trenches. No grass , grows where shells have exploded. Here ar.d there white flags wave warn- : ings of unexploded shells which it is impossible to remove. Still Removing Remains ' In many places remains of the dead are still being removed from battle- . fields to the cemeteries. One of the interesting points along the road was ; a house La Belle Porte at Vailly- ; sur-Aisne. It was built in 1640. burned by the Cossacks in 1815, pillaged by the Prussians in 1S16, rebuilt in 1840; pillaged again by Prussians and Bavarians in 1870 and 1872, pillaged and J razed by the Germans in 1914 and reZ built in 1921. 1 Miles upon miles past, this village ire desolate stretches of barbed wire : and skeleton trees. " The village of

Lraonne, key of the Alsne valley, is Dnly a powdered mass of dust and stone overgrown with weeds' and . srush. Taken by the Germans in April 1917, and re-taken by the French in : September 1917, only to go into the

: aands of the Germans again two : : months later, it was the scene of some the fiercest fighting. It was here ". that over KiO French tanks caught fire resulting in great loss of life at the beginning of an attack. The official , list of dead for this one site is 100,000. National Monument Hi'! ICS, one of the important points ; of the war, has been taken by the French government as a national - andoument, as it has been ruined by shell past all possibility of cultivation. It was here that the Germans I exploded a ton of dynamite under ground, killing S00 French marines . imbushed for an attack on the hill.

The French vengeance was in the , ?orm of such an explosion a little , later in which over 1,000 Germans . f.-ere killr-d. The ground is to be preserved as a cemetery because of the hundreds of bodies buried by the ex- . plosions, which have left great craters ; Qundrcds of feet in circumference at the base of the hill. On this hill for one hour 'every evening shells are touched off, which soldiers and peasints clearing nearby land have discov- ' red. . Rheims in Ruins ' Rheims is still little more than '.. ruins. Before the war her population ivas about liio.OOO; now it is only be:ween 40,000 and 60,000. The governl aient encourages the people to return ' :o their, eld home sites by offering a certain amount of money for re-builJ-Tjig on o'd sites, and only half aa I much for building on new sites. Hundreds have returned to the ruins

UPHEAVAL FILLS GULLY

IN MORGAN COUNTY MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 16. An upheaval of the earth which filled a gully seventy-five feet deep, two hundred feet wide and a thousand feet long with uprooted trees, rocks, soil and debris puzzled the neighborhood around Brooklyn in Morgan county today. Some trees sixteen inches in diameter were twisted and overturned with their roots sticking in the air as the earth trembled on C. H. Carter's farm two miles north of Brooklyn. On each side of the gully there was a cave-in ten feet wide. Strips of earth settled eight feet below the surrounding territory. -- Twenty-eight large trees by eighty feet high lay on top of the heap, lodged against a larger one. Oil and gas have been found near Carter's land and the theory is ad-

vancedr4hat an explosion in an oil or gas pocket catapulted the tons and tons of earth down the gully.

the infirmities of age from attending

the ceremony, but sent a fervent message of sympathy. The procession to the cemetery was

Families whose fortun-es have been completely ruined have returned to the scene of their former residences to put up frame shacks and eke out an existence. The aged, who should be relieved from toil, are each day in the fields taking the places which many who never returned from war have left vacant. The thousands of crippled men in France are employed as much as possible by the government in museums and other public buildings.

Machinery used in the manufacture of portland cement wears out faster than in most industries. Mechanical equipment has to be replaced on an average, once every ten years. Firebrick lining in that part of the rotary kiln where the raw materials are burned at nearly 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, has to be renewed about twice a year. To prevent long and expensive shut-downs, spare parts for practically every piece of machinery must be kept in stock. In addition, most mills maintain complete machine and blacksmith shops. For every million dollars invested in the cement plant proper, from $75,000 to $100,000 worth of spare parts must be on liand. One company's inventory of spare parts runs as high as $1,000,000. Interest must be earned on this big investment. Capital requirements of the cement industry are large. Turnover is slow with some companies only once every two years.
