The Record either has a very erro neous opinion of conditions here or it is putting itself in a very bad light with the better class of Fayetterille citizens who know that the preacher' has been telling the truth and paint ing conditions as they exist and not as he wishes them. Nearly 2,000 of the better class of men surrounding Fayetteville heard Rev.

Warner-AUen. I Official British Press Representative With the French Army. It is no easy matter in the flat plains of Flanders to reach the advanced lines. The smallest eminence gives so wide a view that the enemy's look outs can, on a clear day, spot a mo tor car many miles away, and the German gunners are generally ready to welcome such a target. However, there is much mist in Flanders, and under its cover it is possible to reach without danger points where, in sun shine, one would surely have been bombarded. There is a certain village at an important crossroads. Here the visi tor can gather a very fair idea of the famous Flanders mud. Every cavity and depression was full of water thinly frozed over on the day I visited the lines, and one could only marvel at the magnificent patience and en durance of the men who stood for days up to the knees in what 1 practically a freeaing mixture. Nowhere along the line is war more invisible than in Flanders. A misty. grey line of trees, a ruined farm-' house, a stake or two with tangled j barbed wire that is all there is to , show where the enemy is lying. As J for our own defences on close inspec tion they prove most encouraging. A master mind has been at work, tak ing advantage of every little hill and depression in the monotonous plain. Is there a spot where barbed wire entanglements can lie concealed from the enemy's artillery, to prove at the moment of the assault a fatal ob stacle ? There you will find neat rows of stakes intertwined with that dead ly barrier which has done so much to change the whole system of war fare. Occasionally the bare expanse is broken by a good-sized wood. In such flat country the cover given by trees is invaluable. Indeed, - the under growth of a coppice is a far more powerful defence than the strongest wall of a medieval castle. Such a vood may hold a regiment, a brigade. a division a veritable army, and its resistance could only be overcome at terrible cost. To the stranger the only gay thing about the country is the wind mills. Right up within, the zone of fire they continue to throw up their arms with extravagant gestures to the skies, working away steadily at their daily task, despite the invader, with true Belgian persistance and obstnacy. Some of them have been mutilated by the enemy's shell, and one I saw had only a single sail left, which still stood upright as though defying the Germans a few hundred yards away. In this land of dikes and canals perhaps the most interesting features are the formidable barricades which prevent the flood water from reaching the sea, and maintain tile unundations which guard the line. , They are such barriers aa had elsewhere along .the front been raised to hold back the barbarians thousands of sandbags neatly piled one on the other, and in time of frost, when the tide is low, covered with an armor of ice. Against such tremendous obstacles no bom bardment can be effective. A lucky shell may displace a score of two of sandbags, but they can be replaced without delay arid the T hole barrier only the stronger. Some miles behind the firing line I visited a hospital built at the cost of he American wife of a British ofli ?er. Here the men who require im mediate attention are nursed until they are able to 1 sent to the base .hospitals. The doctor in charge con sidered that the position of his hos pital ideal since, thanks to motor am bulances, the wounded could be brought down with a minimum of de lay and at the same time it was far enough away to give perfect tran quillity to the patients and to allow ;he surgeons to operate without the nerve-racking disturbance of big shells bursting near. He told us that during the early part of the war he had a mortality of between 20 and 23 per cent. At that time he was in charge of a mobile field ambulance, and it was in small gratilcation to him that now. during trench warfare, he had been ': to reduce the mortality to less than 6 per cent. "Vet," he said, "in trench warfare wounds are really more serious than ,they are in war in the open. The .vwounds made by grenades and trench mortars are particularly deadly, as ;the projectiles touch the ground be fore hitting the man, and therefore .infect the wound " In Flanders, as everywhere else on I announce myself run 1 ;ate for the French front, the doctors are loud office of constable f Tlst town in tir praise of the stoical heroism ' ,B'P fubject to the ctii n of the of the French wounded, and of that Democratic primary. :romising If In-sosaitable French gaiety which no- sleeted to perform the duties of the thing can quell either in the field or & to the heat of By ability. m tie ImpitaX .
