THE RUINS OF A CHURCH IN THE MEUSE REGION, THE SCENE OF MUCH BITTER FIGHTING IN FRANCE. Unparalleled destruction has taken place in almost every part of France upon which the Hun has set his foot, but none bears more remarkable testimony of the terrible ravages of war than the territory around Verdun, Hill 304, Hill 344, Mort Homme, and Louvremont, all of which will stand as an eloquent memorial of the gallant exploits of the French soldiers, who lost these notable strongholds to the Germans early in 1916, but effected their recapture in October and December of the same year.
