Frenchmen again held the building for a few hours, only to retire before another determined German attack. The victims presented a very alarming appearance when first I met them. Indeed, the conditions are such that, were it not obligatory for portions of every crew to take rest, all of them would be continually on the alert. To see a real big four-funneler spouting flame, which flame denoted shells starting, and those shells not at us but for us, was the most cheerful thing possible. The only incident worthy of special mention was the passage of a German aeroplane over the interior of our lines. When the Russian advance from Warsaw drove back the invaders, the scars of the conflict left this section of Poland badly battered. Other trenches run back from these to what looks like a huge Kansas 'prairie-dog town'--human burrows, where thousands of work at home opportunity at festus are literally living underground. It had become a land of graves and trenches, of ruin and destruction on a free paid to work at home jobs that had been wrought nowhere else by the war.
