The work went steadily on as more territory came into the hands of the French.
Two years after the armistice, 19 of the worst damaged shafts had been enclosed in cement and a year later more than 50 million cubic yards of water
had been taken out.
The most difficult and dangerous part of the work was in the restoration of the underground tunnels.
These have a total length of more than 1,800 miles, or enough to reach from San Francisco to Omaha.
They often contain asphyxiating gases, and the water-soaked wells are liable to cave in.

Recording by Betty B. American Footsteps on French Battlefields.
Today I shall show you some moving pictures of America's service and sacrifice in the war zones of France.
I am in the front seat of a French automobile with the crank of the big camera beside me, writing the scenario while we travel along.
As the finished reel is unwound, you will see the most interesting of the sights that we pass.
Our speed will be rapid, for these French chauffeurs are yahoos who drive furiously.
But we shall jump from place to place without regard to geography and stop where we please, increasing the text on the screen as human interest directs.
Many feet of our film will give views of the country.
Just now it is carpeted with alfalfa, wheat, oats, rye, crimson clover, and beets,
and embroidered with red poppies as big as a teapot, and is of all the colors God made for the changing hues of his footstool.
We shall find few blots on the landscape.
Every field, road, and forest is dressed up to the nines, and the whole is like a new Paris gown.
