The conductors on the trains and the station masters seemed to take an especial interest in us and went out of their way to secure for us the best accommodation available, This ac- commodation to be sure, was often very poor and that is one of the glar- ing differences between Germany of today and Germany as it was under the old regime. The rolling stock of the railroads seems to have been very much depleted, the cars are overcrowded and dirty to such an ex- tent that travelling in Germany is enytbing but comfortable. On our relurn trip from Leipzig to Brussels We were unable to obtain sleeping accommodation and the corridors of the cars (we were travelling in a so- called first class coach) were so crowded with people who could not obtain seats that 1° was Impossible to move through the train. To add to our discomfort our train was six hours late, the engine having lef the track just outside of Cologne, -- Absence of Uniform, Another change which I noted in Germany was the absence of uniform, The soldier was nowhere in evidence as was the case under the monarchy. Even the policeman wears a much less conspicuous uniform which seem- ed strange at firs' sight. At the po- Toe station in Berlin where all for- elgners who intend to stay longer than 48 hours in the city have to re- port "he offictals were in civilians and were quite human in the performance of their duties. One of them even conversed with me on a subject of general interest which was not neces- sarily connected with the duties he Was performing at the moment. As to conditions among the people I cannot say much, my stay in the country having been very brief and residence In hotels not being adapted to the study of such conditions. As far as I was able to observe. the peo- Ple seemed to be well fed and cloth ed and quite actively employed, Belgium Battlefields, My most interesting experience in Belgium was a trip to the battlefields along that corner of the country be. tween the North Sea and Ypres where Belgian, French and British "roops held back the invader for 50 many years, We made the trip from Ostend Sra where we had decided to spend a couple of days In order to rest up after our long"and tedious Journey from Leipzig. The trip was made in & 'motor charabanc and took us first through the German lines. Here we saw the numerous piil-boxes or dug- outs which dot the countryside at regular intervals and which now make good sheep and poultry shel ters for the Belgian farmer. Con- tinuing along our route we came to the big-gun at Moere with which the Germans tried to terrorize Dunkirk, 4 eans one for every Man, Woman and Child on.

It is surrounded by walls of concrete reinforced with iron bars several yards in thickness. The gun Was supposed to carry over twenty- five miles and fired, according to our guide, 250 shells, of which twenty- tive found their mark. The gun couid caly be fired once in twenty minutes, When the Germans were leaving the country they tried to destroy it by lowering i in such a way that when discharged the shell would strike the mass of concrete surrounding it. In- stead of the gan being destroyed by the explosion it was the solid mass Which suffered and the gun remains almost Intact for exhibition purposes, ------ Bigns of Destruction. Ae we proceeded, the signs of de- struction caused by war became mors and more evident, Here and there We noticed new rows of trees planted along the roadside to replace those destroyed. supposed to be passing and many o them wore naturally destroyed by the firing Numerous gaping shell holes still remain in 'the fields near which and the pride of the town lies there a ruin of stone and mortar, . Reconstruction Achievement, Perhaps what impresses the visitor to this district most is the tremend- ous amount of reconstruction work which has been achieved. New vil- shattered by war. Indeed it is large- ly by thelr newness that one can sow form an idea of'the havoc which was wrought, for nature is continu- ally doing her : best to heal the wounds and ravages of war. The poppies are blooming around the trenches and dug-outs from which not so long ago death reigned, the broken trees are trying to send forth new shoots and what was once a wilderness is being changed back gradually into its former state of Hie and beauty, .

NEE RAGE DEATH Mr. and Mrs. Archie Ruttan, Formerly of Wagarville, the Victims. {the fire. He used to LATE ARCHIE RUTTAN Word has been received in the city of the death under terribly trag- fe circumstances of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Ruttan, formerly of Wagar- ville, Ont., but lately residing at Smyrna, New York state, where Mr. Ruttan had taken a farm. Death occurred on August 23rd, but just what happened is not fully known, and"the district attorney is fmvesti- gating. Mr. Ruttan was . a son of Mrs. James Ainslie, of Whitestone, Parry Sound district, formerly Mrs. James Ruttan, who lived for some time Wagarville, Ont. oF aye 000 It appears that the nearest neigh- bor, who lives at the foot of the hill on which the home of the Ruttan's was built, happening to look up the hill about 9 o'clock on the morning of August 24th, was amazed to find that the house was non-existent, and on approaching closer, he found a few remains still smouldering from fire. The coroner and an um- dertaker being summoned, they searched the ruins and found suf- ficlent human bones to demonstrate 'that two bodies had been burned in the fire. There had been an electri- cal storm and it is believed that the house was struck by lightning, and possibly the couple were electrocut- ed before the house caught fire. The house was almost a total wreck, just the cellar walls being left. The hu- man bones were found nesr a bed- stead indicating that thé coupls were in bed at the time they met death. The few remains were plac- ed in one casket In Sherburne Hill cemetery. n-- Sensational Discovery. One report states that later on further remains were found, includ- ing a skull, which, it is said, the district wttorney avows was fractur- ed. Another sinister feature about the affair is that a double-barrelled shotgun, which relatives state msed to be kept in the kitchen of the home of the deceased, was found near a barn on the morning after the fire. hand, George Dimoff, who says was there about 9.30 the night: of rk for the Rauttans;, but had been em- ployed by 4 neighbor.
