THE EDITOR. ENGINEERS JOURNAL PUBLISHED BY THE BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS 1124 BY F. A. MITCHEL. When the great European war broke out I was a reporter on an American newspaper. Young and full of vigor, I found it impossible to content myself picking up unimportant items when great armies were in conflict. I begged to be sent either to France or to Germany as a war correspondent. There were persons at hand who were better able than I to write descriptions of battles, but I was chosen because the - proprietor of the paper, having been a soldier in the Spanish-American war, knew the dangers I would likely encounter, and that a young fellow of twenty-two was better able to face them than an older man. Everybody knows now, what no one knew then, that newspaper correspondents would not be allowed at the front. I found it out when I arrived, and determined, since I could not give battle pictures, to send my paper scenes in the wake of war. I found it easier to penetrate territory occupied by the Allies than by the Germans, so I took the direction of lesser opposition, on the same principle that water flows. I entered Belgium at a time when the Germans were hammering at the Liege forts. It was not long, however, before the Allied retreat began, and for my purpose of writing up scenes of the country over which the tide of battle had passed I NUMBER 7 followed the armies southward. put me in the rear of the Germans. This It will be remembered that where the Germans passed through a certain district given up to the growing of grapes and the manufacture of wine they helped themselves to the stock on hand. I came one evening upon one of these vineyards where the grape was grown, turned into wine and stored in cellars. The place had not only been fought over, but had suffered from the occupation of an army corps. When I arrived the troops had just left, and there was not a person on the place. It was evening, and, though I confess I shuddered at the desolation about me, I took a melancholy interest in exploring the premises. Singular it was and impressive to walk through large rooms, in some of which were the wine vats and some of which had been used for bottling, each apartment being devoted to a separate purpose. The premises looked as if a hurricane had passed over them. There were vast rents in the roofs and the walls, while in the interior shells had been exploded, knocking the winemaking apparatus to pieces. Coming to a stairway leading below the main floor, I went down and found myself in a wine cellar. Judging by the empty bottles scattered about, every drop of wine had been drunk. The sight reminded me of the scene of an orgy the morning after it had taken place and the banquet room deserted by the revelers.
