THE ancient and lovely land Is sown with death; across the plain Ungarnered now the orchards stand; The Maxim nestles in the grain; The shrapnel spreads a stinging flail; Where palbd nuns the cloister trcd The airship spills her leaden hail. But—after all the battles—God. Athwart the vineyard’s ordered banks, Silent the red rent forms recline. And from their stark and speechless ranks The’-e flows a richer, ruddier wi"e; While down the lane and through the wall The victors writhe upon the sod. Ncr heed the onward bugle call. But—after all .he bugles—God. By night the blazing cities flare Like mushroom torches in the sky; The rocking ramparts tremble ere The sullen cannon boom reply. And shattered is the temple spire; The vestment trampled on the clod, And every altar black wi h fire; But—after all the altars—God. And all the prizes we have won Are buried in a deadly dust. The things we set our hearts upon Beneath the stricken earth are thrust. Again the Savage gree’s the sun: Again his feet, with fury shod, Across a world in anguish ran; But—after all the anguish—God. The grim campaign, the gun. the sword, The quick volcano from the sea. The honor that reveres the word, The sacrifice, the agony— These be our heritage and pride, Til! the last despot ki«s the rod. And, with man’s freedom purified, We mark—behind our triumph— God. —Alan Sullivan. SUPERINTENDENT OF SUBMARINE CORPS Brooklyn, N.

France’s Roads Great Aid In War i — Some Are Centuries Old, But in State That Would Put Many American Parkways to Shame. BY FRED S. FERGUSON, United Press Staff Correspondent. AVTITH the American Army in | it France, Oct. 26.—An army may j “fight on its stomach,” bu‘ it must be | able to travel on roads. The roads of ! France are one of the marvels of the : great war. Without the wonderful roads, some of which are centuries old, and with out the work constantly being done on these roads, it would have been all but impossible for Marshal Foch to move and shift his troops ns it has been necessary for him to do. No reads anywhere in the world have been put to such a test and re ceived such punishment as the roads of F’rnnce during the last four years. In spite of th:s, however, most Amer ican cities would be proud to have in their parks such roads as are imme diately hack of the battle lines. To keep the roads in shape means constant attention. Road workers are always on duty hack of the battle zero. Ruts are filled with crushed reck; a thin layer of dirt is then put over the rock and carefully rolled. Traffic Is Heavy. Thousands of heavy tracks, guns and wagons cons'antly are moving over the French roads. A bad stretch of road means delay. This delay may mean failure of ammunition or sup plies to be on hand when most needed. The German high command has held a natural advantage in the railroad system behind its lines. This has had to be overcome by use of the French highways. Fong lines of camions carry thousands of French, American or British soldiers from one point to an other so take their places in the battle line. Everything possible in the allied armies has been “motorized." The but den upon the French roads Has be come heavier and heavier. But when the full story of the allied victory is written, a full share of honor will go to the roads of France, the men whe utilized them and the men who kep‘ them up. The French roads are made of a | soft limestone or hard chalk. The ! stone is < rushed, or cracked, by hand : into small pieces, and in repairing a | bad piece of road the entire highway j ! is resurfaced. The stone is dampened ! | and rolled. a layer of earth then is put I on the stone, this dampened and roll | ed, and the roadbed becomes like one j solid piece of stone. Roads Are Not Muddy. The main French highways are never muddy, as muddy roads are known in America. They become shiny and slippery after heavy rains, due to 'ors'tning of the layer of earth; but the bed of the load remains as firm and hard as though entirely dry. Trucks, automobiles and wagons are never stal'ed unless they Happen to run off the road or into the ditch. Americans may be seen working on the roads in France. During the re cent advance from the Maine, road makers followed close behind the ad vancing fighting troops. In war of movement everything de pends upon transpoit. It was nothing uncommon to see three distinct lines of traffic moving over one road in the wake of the Americans who pushed forward from '.he Marne to the Vesle. Only firm, smooth roads made this possible. Ruts ar.d Holes were worn in the roads by the heavy traffic, but they were refilled speedily. Temporary re oairs constantly were being made. Then, as the advance swung forward and traffic from what was once the immediate rear became lighter, entire sections of road were resurrected.
