A VISIT TO THE FIELD OF FRANCE AND FLANDERS."

HAIG FUND APPEAL.

On a summer's day in 1923 we aat on the low pampot that our- rounds the open space in front of Amions Cathedral and drank in the full beauty of the West Front. The stone seemed to glow golden ‚ and "grow"almost luminous in the Inst rays of the setting sun-and every Agure in that marvellous work of the stone-artist stood out | like a living creature.

Away on our right was the hideous wreck of a house-tora open-showing sordid rooms still mora sordid in their nakedness of half-stripped walls and portrud- ing beams. Ono was devoutly grateful to the Providence that watched over the Cathedral and saved from dostruction, oven the one shell that pierced the roof did no harm, but was alrangled by protecting sandbags,.

Amiens-and the world at large --could ill-afford to spare the Cathedral, that slis like an ex- quisite gem enshrined in the poor- est of settings.

•

Next day we set out in the early morning, with a backward glance at the Cathedral, standing, up: against the town like some crea tion of a dream, blue and intau- gible in the pale sunlight.

A fow miles out of Amiens we. were in world of harvesting. The broad fields and rolling up. lands were golden with sheaves- not arranged in neat rows as in England, but all irregular-hig- glody-piggledy-giving no

of order and peace, but rather, of terrifle profusion and haste and fiorco productivencas. The shea- ves were fashioned in such fan- tastic form that sometimes they seemned a procession of hooded monks, at others a crowd of crouching chimpanzees, or again a collection of village gossips. There was something uncanny, almost horrifying in these grotes-: que shapes seen close at hand, and. one's eyes sought the distance where they were blurred and melt- ed into the horizon, and the gold and green and blue brought' a sense of peace.

It seemed almost incredible that a year ago these teeming fields were hideous wastes covered with wreckage of war, pltted with sholl- holes, horrible in their desolation, And yet it was perhaps the ghoals of the Past that robbed this har- vest of that sense of perfect har- mony and beauty that rests on fields which have not been drench- ed in blood. The shadow of the gallant dead stood between us and the sunshine and one felt a cer- tain fear of Nature, an anger and a dislike that she can so quickly repair the evil that men do-and cause them to forget,

They say that on the Floam Dyke near Cambridge the purple fritillaries grow only where Danish blood was spilt. There were few flowers growing in the fields of France-only a scarlet poppy here and there, but perhaps in the years to come the aftermath of the war will have given place to peace, more flowers will spring up and children picking poppies there will be told that the flowers rise from those who gave their lives for England and for France. It seemed to me that it would have been well for the peace of the Future if some portion of the land, could have been enclosed and pre- served just as it was when the tide of battle ebbed-a warning and a lesson to the younger and the next generations,
