son visited Rheims, Chateau Thierry
and a dozen razed villages in the
region recently devastated by toe
artillery of the contending forces
and was deeply impressed.

had received amid the scenes of
ruin and desolation.
The French people express the
hope that President Wilson will
visit all the devastated sections be
fore he helps to decide on what
should be expected of Germany by
way of reparation for damage done
during the war.
Among the places visited by the
President was the now famous
Belleau Wood, where the American
marines gallantly upheld the honor
of the United States and gave the
Germans a very severe drubbing.
These historic woods have been re
named after the American marines
by the French. Hundreds of the
graves of Americans who gave up
their lives in freedom's cause were
visited.
Some little time was spent at
Chateau Thierry, where the Allies
stopped the German advance on
Paris, and around which place very
considerable fighting took place.
This place promises to be the Mecca
for American tourists for years to
come.
