The wheat was ripe upon the far hill slopes.

Along the crest of the far hills ran the lize of tall, regular trees which in this

It was the promised land the country behind the Germurs like the valley about Bapaume.

Quite close at hand was wood. The trees were not more than half a mile way, if that.. It was a growing wood- with the green still on the branches, very different from the charred ports, and tree stumps which are all that now remain of the garderia and orchards of Pozieres

Within four days the screen in

in front of Poizieres had been torn to shreds, had utterly disappeared. The German bons- bardment ripped off all that the British had left. But here were we, with this desolation behind us, looking on sud- denly, and at no great distance, on quite a respectable wood. There are men coming up the further side of the slope -men going about some normal besi. acas at the day, as our men go about theirs in the places behind their lines

Those men are Germans and the vill ago in the trees, the collection of build- ings half guessed in the wood, is Cour cellette.

THE SOMME CONTRAST.
