DESOLATION AS LAST GERMAN
SHELL FELL AT SOISSONS
Silence Reigns in Country Back of the Departing Enemy.
Small Parties Seen Burning and Burying Dead Men and
Horses
Soissons, France, (via Parie.) —Here
had been a fine little elty of 13,000 In
habitants with traditions since the
lime of Caesar. A few hundred [per
sons were In the streets back of the
river. The*'rest had left before the
Germans entered.
Directions where to find bridges
and routes to neighboring towns were
painted on Ihn walls of buildings at
the corners of streets, In the German
language. German soldiers named
Schneider, Schultz and Sehwart had
written their names In chalk upon the
steel shutters of the shop windows.
l’rlnce Joachim, the youngest son
<pf Emperor William, was here five
days ago, before he was wounded.
The last German gbell fell Into the
town this morning wounding a wo
man.
Huge Trains.
Upon the roads behind the army are
supply trains, huge automobile trucks
built to carry four and a half tons
or two wheeled horse carts each with
one or two led horses that If one gives
out another may take its place near
the firing line, crowd the way.
In the wide track where the nine
days fighting took place, over the 75
miles of country between here and the
Marne, singularly little physical dam
age was evident along the main roads.
Burned Intentionally.
Relnlts, a town of 6,000 Inhabitants,
appears to have been burned by the
J. Henry and nine other Amerlean of
ficers at Paris have been left In
charge of the Interests of their coun
trymen and of subjects of belligerent
countries whoso welfare had been en
trusted to the United Htates.
In France Alone.
In Franco alone, chiefly In the
neighborhood of Paris, It Is estimated
that 40,000 Germans and Austrians
are interned. The American officers
make frequent visits to the buildings
where they are held and talk with the
prisoners, lnspeot the sanitary condi
tions, examine the food served and
generally look after the well-being of
these foreigners.
At Berlin, Amerlean Ambassador
.Tames W. Gerard adopted the plan of
treating all Latln-Amerlcans as
though they were citizens of the Unit
ed states. He Is assisting many of
them to depart.
In Italy.
The situation In Italy Is now com
fortable. There are more accommo
dations on the steamers sailing from
Genoa than are demanded.
Mr. Breckinridge has not decided
whether the Tennessee will return to
the United States with him as a pas
senger or will be held here after he
leaves.
Germans Intentionally. The whole
place is a mass of ruins. Early this
morning a black Jdtten seemed to be
the sole inhabitant of this French
town, hut presently some of the In
habitants emerged from their batter
ed homes and one said that not fewer
than 1,900 people were really In the
town. Home of the inhabitants af
firm that the Germans had organized
the Incendiarism, setting house after
house afire until It seemed as though
everything would burn down.
Other towns and villages in this vi
cinity, except for the damage done by
artillery and rifle fire, show no signs
of the recent conflict.
Burying Dead.
Silence reigns over the country back
of the fighting line and very few peo
ple are seen moving about. Small
parties of civilians are burying stray
dead In the field where they fell, and
burning or burying dead horses. An
occasional buzzard Is seen wheeling
In the air.
The wheat ricks stand untouched,
close to the entrenchments with which
the countryside Is lined. Rows of
trees along the fine roads show the
effects of artillery fire. An occasion
al tree trunk a foot thick has been cut
off sharp by a single projectile and at
points along the highway where the
I fire was hottest, branches litter the
ground.

Covington, Ga.—Prof. 3. W. Bagby,
who for the past two years has been
principal Of the Newborn High school,
passed through Covington Thursday on
his way to Columbus where he goes as
principal of the city school system.
Prof. Bagby made an enviable record
at Newborn and certainly Newton loses
