THIEPVAL.
ONE OF THE WAR'S VANISHED
VILLAGES.
The imagination was stirred some time back by the news that the Kentish town of Tunbridge,. having adopted the gloriously famous battle village of Thiepval, had learnt that there was no Thiepval left to adop It will be cany enough to find in the line of trenches an- other commune whose needs will fully justify Tonbridge in becoming its faster father not difficult.

It has been said many times that it who has not been to is hard for anyone w the battle arra to realise the completeness of the desolation, but it Gone the less true for all that. It is equally true to say that it is already too late to ap preciate, even on the spot, how terrible.

WHY THLEFVAL HAS GONE
No one who went through the furnace and knew what the rain was will be. surprised to learn that there is a village completely blotted out. He will rather wonder whether there is a single one, along the old trench line, of which a stone remains. Everything combined to complete the effacement.

THE THREE CLASSES.
At the French Ministry of Liberated Begions they told me that the destroyed Vilages may be divided into three classes. First there is the majority, which have beer and are being recon- structed on the sites on which they stood before.
Next there are the villages which are being reconstructed on new. sites, in the neighbourhood of the old, but for one reason or another more con- venient to-day. Last, there are the villages whose very Dames are to go. Of this last class there are twenty-five
