her left I'iiiIh for the front. The hiring;
cf automobllea wound their way out of
Fails and pooh reached Moiia on the
aihi-mp H.rp nt the very Kates of
Paris the German nrmy was stopped in
the mimmer of 1S14. The greatest
army In the world was stopped by a
hnmiful of gallant French troops.
When Mr. Hammond asked how it had
been done the French officer shruKRed
hij shoulders and said that Clod had
done it. "I believe that God always
has decried that no nation who has the
principles of Germany will ever he per
mitted to dominate the nations of the
earth. I do know that the French army
had something to do with it." said
Mr. Hammond. With five divisions of
the German' army sweeping down on
them the French were given the order
to stand or die. They stood and the
Germans were hurlod back from
whence they came. "Here at Mons on
the Marne the liberty of the world was
saved. This Is the greatest battlefield
in the world."
From Mons the party went to, Sol
sonne. The roads were full of horse
drawn trains of camouflaged cars has
tening to Farls from whence they
would be sent to Italy. The men looked
older than Mr. Hammond had expected
they would but he accounted for the
fact by the knowledge that they had
been aged by the war. At Soisonno
the earth was shredded by shells for
miles and miles and filled. with barb
wire entanglements and earthworks
Here in eight days the French explod
ed one hundred million dollars worth
of shells.
Bourdonne Razed to Ground
Next they reached Bourdonne the
first fort between France and Ger
many. Here where fifty thousand peo
pie had made their homes before the
war there was not a soul left, not even
a bat or an owl disturbed the silence
At Seville they found a plot of ground
about as large as a city lot which con
tained 1.000 tiny wooden coffins. The
soil would prove to be from 25 to 40
per cent blood and bones in Mr. Ham
mond's estimation.
In the presence of two great armies
neither of which was visible the party
stood on a hill and viewed the ruins
Overhead they could hear the deadly
whistle of the shells, the air was full
of airoplanes flitting about stabbing
each other to death a graphic, vivid,
tragic panorama. "This Is a war with
out glitter and glamor. This is a war
in which men come to deadly grip,
hand to hand in the trenches." Very
pathetic was the picture he drew of the
refugees who have no word in all their
language for home trying to find some
thing In the ruins on which to found
their homes anew.
Visits Belgian Front Trenches '
At the invitation of the "Belgian king
the party went into Belgium in order
to get to the front-line trenches where
the Americans and English were not
willing to take them. They slept that
night in a little village over which
the shells burst all night. But so soon
had they become accustomed to danger
that "they slept the sleep of the Just
or just the sleep of the sleeping." In
the morning they worked their way
up to the front lines. After going down
a camouflaged road they left their ma
chines at the third-line trenches and
walked the rest of the way. The party
was divided into two parties which
went in different directions. While
Mr. Hammond's party was standing
within a hundred yards of the German
line they heard a crash of musketry
and shells to the right. At once they
were hurried back and met the other
section of their party to learn that the
firing they had heard had been di
rected against them. The only farm
house they saw in this region has been
turned Into a Red Cross hospital and
an ambulance was unloading wounded
men at its door.
Mr. Hammond then told of some of
the atrocities perpetrated by the Ger
mans, things which are almost unbe
lievable so barbarous are they, sur
passing even the Indian outrages of
our early wars. He also told some of
the hardships undergone by the French
soldiers. There are wild ducks galore
on the ponds of Flanders he told the
men of sporting instincts and plenty
of Huns. It you go over don't waste
your ammunition on the ducks.
100,000 M8ammles" Abroad ?
Mr. Hammond "guessed" that there
are about 100,000 American soldiers in
France now. But he explained that
everything was being done as rapidly
as possible. "We have to do every
thing ourselves. I beg the American
people to be patient."
The audience which listened to Mr.
Hammond was one of the largest
which has attended convocation this
year, the whole first floor being re
served for the cadets. The band was
there to lead the audience in the sing
ing of America and the Star Spangled
Banner.
