Endless Trophlw of War.

Some of them are unharmed, but many show bullet holes through the frail fabric or the ruins of a crash. A fair proportion of them bear the Maltese cross that marks them boche. There are trains of captured enemy artillery, particularly of motor bat terfes, driven and manned by French men. and these are happy outfits. Often the guns are decorated with evergreens and always the French soldiers laugh and wave a greeting. As they creep through the villages the populace flocks out to view the cannon that for four years sent death and devastation to their land, and the children clamber op the carriages and
