ENEMY DESERTS LOOT IN FLIGHT FROM FRANCE.
The Germans were forced to abandon huge stores of loot in their
hurried flight from France. Collected by organized looting parties, great
quantities of supplies were foraged from occupied French towns. This pho-
tograph shows a huge collection of books taken from the public library at
Montdidier. The books were piled behind the enemy lines to be taken
away, but the French advance was so rapid that their plan was thwarted.
