AWFUL FIELD OF SLAUGHTER.
SLOPES DOTTED WITH GERMAN DEAD. PARIS, March 1. A refugee states: — "I was at Suippos and. Souain in October, but they were nothing in comparison with this. The is indescribable. La Vanclie iiis. 'no longer a wood, but a waste of ■snow- and land torn- up like a lunar "crater. The thunder of unseen guns is continuous, and the ground shakes. ■When 'the smoke veil lifted, T saw the snow slope dolled with German dead. The veil a^ain fell, and the thunder recommenced. We filled our ears with scraps of paper and cloth, but could not keep , out v the stupefying noise. After
nightfall rockets from both sides and fuses dropped from aeroplanes cast gleams over the awful fields of slaughter.
