C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. _ Friday, October 4. 1935 Editorial Correspondence Paris, Aug. 19, 1935. This has been one of the most interesting^days I have spent since I left home. Together with seven other men, I started out from Paris at 1 p. m., for the great battlefields about 80 miles a,way. First we viewed the grounds and monuments mark ing the scene of the Battle of the Marne, where the Military Governor of France stood off the Germans when they made their great drive on Paris and their advance guard came within 21 miles of the city. Mov ing on, we came up to the banks of the Marne River and continued upward along its course for miles, much of the time very near it and crossing it twice. We finally came in sight of Belleau Wood, which is now a thickly wooded tract of small trees, marked with an occasional big tree with the top shot out and shell scarred. We found in the northeast side of the wood, beside the main road, now hard-surfaced, the Ameri can flag flying about 50 feet above the ground. The ground was sprinkled with hundreds of holes, where German soldiers had lain to dodge the flying shrapnel from American guns in 1918. Some of the holes were dug for machine gun nests and others were blown out by high-explosive shells. The shot-and-shell marked stumps of many trees are to be seen. A small village a few hundred yards away has only a few new buildings and the wrecks of a number of old ones. Two miles further on, we came to the American cem tery, where 2,288 Americans lie buried. The graves are marked wuth headstones giving the name, rank, company and division of each man, also the State from which he came. This cemetery is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. On the north west it is bounded by a hill some 20 feet above the general level, then the graves on a level plain below, and the ground drops away about 10 feet on the other edge. The grounds are kept in perfect order, with all the roads and paths between the markers lined with roses in great profusion. An American flag flies on each side of the approach to the memorial tablet, which overlooks the cemetery. The names of about 10 per cent of the soldiers are not known; on their headstones is inscribed, “An American Soldier, Known Only to God.” Leaving the cemetery as the sun was netting in the west, we turned to Chateau Thierry, where we found a very fine memorial built by the United States and inscribed, “Monument Erected by the United States of America to Commemmorate the Service and Offer Her Thanks to Her Soldiers and Those of France Who fought in This Region During the World War, To Stand as a Lasting Monument of th Friendship and Cooperation Between the French and Americans.’ Chateau Thierry is a small town on both sides of the Marne River. The view is one of the most beautiful tc be seen any place, with the town in a low valley surrounded by the beautiful hill country. Belleau Wood is about 8 1-2 miles to the west, Rheims 45 miles northeast, and Soissons 26 miles north. The first and second corps of the American Army occu pied this section about the middle of 1918. A total of 375,000 American soldiers from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 19th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32nd, 42nd, 77th and 93rd divisions were engaged in the fighting in this section and 67,000 never returned. It was in this region that the Allied Armies alempted to bag the German Army, and where the backbone of the German position was so seriously weakened that it never recovered. The drive from Taris is over a good paved road, part with brick and much of it cobblestones. This is a fine farming country, I saw many women helping in the harvest today. The French farmers have fine horses, frequently three are “hooked-up" in a row, one ahead of the other, and sometimes four. After passing through the war memorials of Eng land and France, and observing the semi-worship of their old warriors who reigned in pomp and glory, and then observing the places where our own Ameri can sons were called to suffer and die, I hate war with a greater hatred than ever before. And when I see a few people in every nation striving to create war for wealth or glor yfor themselve,s I not only hate war but I dislike men with such sinful purposes. I shall never be willing myself, nor for any of my sons, kin dred or friends, to pour out their blood on the hill sides that some soldier may be applauded or a Du Pont or a Krupp grow rich. I am glad to say to the mothers and fathers who have sons buried on the battlefields of France that their bodies repose in beautiful, well-kept graveyards, over which an American citizen presides. This does not apply to the 50 soldiers who were killed in the battle of Belleau Wood and never found and identi fied. All men should preach peace. W. C. Manning.
