GREAT BEAUMONT
CRATER STREWN
WITH GERMANS
(From W. HKACH THOMAS)
WITH THK HKlTiSH AKMY IN
THK FlKLl). Nov. 2i>. — The murk
that has settled down over the coun
try has added the last touch of bru
tality to battlefields always incredibly
brutal. I Vi haps tiie silence helps.
Few and tower shells whine through
the fog. and more and more of the
few thump into the mud without ex
plosion. Ail the tiring is blind; ami
perhaps for that reason each shel.
fuller o! fear; for the finer courage is
disclosed into fatalism and mere re
liance on the law of average. And in
the mud and mist you notice the de
tails of the battlefield in more par
ticular detail, now that the general
view i> cut otf and all ground is dead
ground.
The great crater by Beaumont -
Hamel looks like the bed of an emp
tied lake strewn with the bodies and,
hits of the bodies of its old denizens. J
Here we blew up a quantity of tier
man dug-outs tunnelled into the side
of the old crater; and the successive
tons* of explosive, besides doing their;
deadly work, have altered the very!
landscape. Close by. at the bottom
of a trench, the Hermans lie head to
heel strung out in a line where they
rushed from the escape mouth ot
their dug-out into a cascade of bombs
and perhaps an enfilading rifle. Kgg
bonibs and oyster-bombs and hair
brush bombs are scattered every
where—small refuse left, it might be.
by a receding tide, along with the
burden of mud-drowned bodies.
Day after day and night after night
our burial parties have been at work.
At any moment you may meet the
parade returning with his group of
men from the latest field burial. The
business is nearly done* but it never
quite ends. The Herman* lived ii
this quarter for two years, working
all the time, and left more caves than
could be reckoned in a day, even it the
shells had not rooted in the trough of
mud ami rubbish for five months.
Stores and tombs still lie undiscover
ed, ami diggers a century hence will
still find discs and chains that were
to announce the identity of the vic
tims.
The power of ugliness could no
farther go. Everything visible and
audible or tangible to the senses—to
touch, smell, and perception—is ugly
beyond imagination. The hanks of
wrenched and rotted wire sugge>t
that the very soil ha> turned into a
sort of matter hostile to all kindly
productiveness. Anil so will the
waste look till spring comes and
proves that after ail fertility lives.
Indeed, lest mere disgust and des
pair should be bred by the spectacle
of min. nature is already sending a
message of spring, a miracle of the
season.
The miracle is this: that the bat
tered trees, just now as bare as tele
graph poles, are putting out young,
green leaves; and in one place great
com frev leaves even now conceal the
very whereabouts of a trench we
poutuled and captured during this
battle of the Somme.—London Daily
Mail.

A Prussian officer, Lieutenant Jo
hannes Lombard Pier, who had been
taken prisoner by the French and had
escaped, was captu*'ed on board a toi
eign vessel at a northeast coast jh>i t
on Saturday. He had been concealed
in the fore peak, and immediately on
the arrival of the ship he peeped out
to ascertain his whereabouts and was
caught.
Tall, thin, and about 25 years of
?tgo. he was covered with the grime
>f the forepeak. He said he had with
hint, when he boarded the vessel two
Jus of condensed milk which he hoped
would support him until he reached a
neutral country. He had been four
days at sea in hiding, had lived on
the contents of one tin, and had the
other left.
The captain of the ship handed him
over to a military guard, and as he
was taken away through the streets
his grey uniform attracted attention.
He said he was a schoolmaster before
joining the army, was wounded at
Warsaw, and then transferred to the
western front. He was taken prison
er by the French ( n the Somme on
September 14 and was placed in a
military prison. On making his es-,
cape he managed to reach ltouer. •
where he hoarded the foreign vessel.
Late on Saturday night a military;
escort took him to London.—London
