CORPS OF SEXTONS ; IN WAKE OF ARMIES WILLOW GROSSES MARK GRAVES WOMAfi TELL TAL ES OF JHORROR. (By Harold Ashjton.) PARIS, Sept. 22. I nave just re turned from the neighborhood of Senlls, and have observed a new volunteer corps of the French army at work. It Is a corps of sextons and there is no limit for their term of service. ; When the curtain of night has fallen, these men go from the villages' and farm lands in an uncanny, silent prosession, to set about their labors! among the shattered dead. Their way is illuminated by horn lanterns and torches. -' Theij shadows dance ghoul like, and,; in -the nicker of the beams, these liftle old men, for such are most of them, are seem bent double. Their v women folk follow, bear ing little bundles of peeled willow wands and -strands of wire. They cut a 'few .inches from; each wand and bind it crosswise with the wire. When they come ' across the body of an of fice lying amid the dead, they plant this liillow Wand cross oyer his grave :o Hour after hour; this ( night corps, with its women,'1 plies its grewsome trade, weary . and wan,, marking cemetery-after cemetery The bundles of sticks diminish rapidly.' 'y The shocks of battle has not passed through Senlis, but 'devastation and pillage have .Jeft their .marks. Vines have been mowed dowrj to make way for the . relentless march.- of armies. and the- rich, grapes lie.-Crushed and bleeding everywhere. ?,Tbev great wine houses have been raided, and "their cellars stormed. t.The richest vintages have been taken by the Germans, who seem to have been' made with thirst. Here and 'there one ' finds , signs of wild drunkenness, ' The 'German sol diers sober and at war is a terrifying force to reckon with; drunk and at war, he is still more dreadf ul. ' , ; Women have told me tales in this region,, . with the v utmost frankness, that those at home cQuld not believe possible. , They a made : nie ? shudder even though ! have just come through scenes of death and horror that might sear the soul af any man.

Not only were Messrs Lovlc and Tay lor, managers of the Masonic Theatre, annoyed by "the Dingbat Family,' but the management of the hotel at which they stopped, had considerable trouble in settling with them. i Almost the entire troupe waited until the last minute to settle their bills, and many of them were conten- tious and their bills had to be itemized, thus consuming much time. While the clerk was being annoyed by the contentions of a part of them others went to the dining room, ate their breakfast and slipped out - without paying for it. Their conduct while in New Bern has casued re -narks from all sides to the effect that they are a tough bunch, and it is' probable that the hotels in different cities that they are to playi will be notified of their conduct here, i FUNERAL CONDUCTED ; .

CHRISTIANIA, VIA LONDON, Sept. 22. Dr. Fridtjof Nanzen, for merly Norwegian minister to Great Britain, caused a sensation here Satur day when he stated before anassembly of members of the rabinet and students that Norway's situation is as precarious' as that of Belgium. r. Nanzen's proposal for one year compulsory army service was coldly received by government members, but with cheers from the remainder of audience. He used the fate of Belgl im as an argument for more ample prep aration by Norway. 'Belgium proved that neutrally without military preparation Is not suf ficient, pretection " he said. Dr. Nanzen's speech was a direct. criticism of the present governemtnt. He spoke favorably of Germany's method of training for the army and said the result of the war would be a general conscription, in England.
