GEN. WHEELER TALKS
GIVES HIGH PRAISE TO FRENCH
SOLDIER.
Saws, With Exception Of American,
He is the Best in the World.
Will Go Again to
Europe.

CORTLAND, Oct 29-(Special.) -Brigadier
General Joseph Wheeler, u. 8. Army, re-
tired, after an absence of more than a
wear, paid his friends in CORTLAND a
visit today.
For eighteen years. General Wheeler
represented this. the Eighteenth. District
in Congress. and no district ever had a
more capable, careful or painstaking rep
resentative. He was member OF Con-
sress when war with Spain was declared,
and the martial blood chat tingles through
every vein of his little body, caused him
to lay his sword at the feet of his Presi-
dent and ask for a commission In the
volunteer army. His request was grant
ed and he was given a command, ana
though over the age of 90 years and al
ready a hero of one war, he went to the
front. There he led his men where the
bullets fell the thickest On San Juan
bloody field, he forgot for the nonce that
we are now one country and one flag.
and his mind went back to the heart
breaking days of 1884, when he was a
Confederate General, leading Confeder-
ate army. 1t was then that he gave
expression to the now remembered snout'
Come on, boys, the Yankees are run
ming" -
After peace was declared with Spain
ha was amounted a General in the regu-
Ior army and sent to the Philippines
where he did valiant service. Two years
700 having arrived at the age of 81 years
General Wheeler was retired, and since
then has spent the principal portion of his
time in European travel He has just
returned from France. and talks enter
taingly to his friends Of the French man
euyers On this subject he says:
"I was very much impressed with what
The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1902-10-30

I saw In France, and particularly WIN
the French soldiers. They are the nnest
soldiers on earth, of course the Ameri-
can army being excepted.
France seems to be divided into al
most two separate nations, the people OF
Paris constituting the one. and the rest
of France the other, In Paris. the people
are small. the vast majority OF them be-
ing Communists Atheists and Socialists
The laboring class have one-half OF every
Sunday as a holiday. and 1t is then that
they get up their demonstrations. l wit
messed the demonstration against the
Nuns schools. In ray opinion, these
schools are very good institutions The
laboring class send their children there
to be cared fer during the day and re-
turred at night to their homes.
1.-THE way these demonstrations are got
ten I'D is about as follows: One faction
would get up a crowd and march through
the streets shouting. Paris Is very
noisy city and nothing amounts to any
thing unless accompanied with much
noise. Another faction would then get
up a counter demonstration and march
with shouts to meet the first body. The
police would then take a hand, and being
on horseback, would rush their steeds be-
tween the contending factions and drive
them back.
THE people fthe district lying outside
of the city of Paris are, the majority,
large, weil-formed and intelligent. They
are devout Catholics, and, as / stated
before the finest soldiers l have ever
seen with the exception of the Americans.
Unlike our soldiers. those of France DO
not occupy tents at the maneuvers. They
are auartered In houses in the small towns
near the scene, from two to fiVe being
assigned to a house. except the monaste-
ries. where very often as many as 5OO
sleep. They rest on straw spread on the
floors. and arise in the morning In time
to march from five to ten miles to the
scene of action. r
"One cannot see Europe in few
months. and intend to go back there
again next year. I want to go to water
loo once more and on horseback, go over
the country the way the armies went. l
want to see exactly the difficulties they
had to encounter and the manner In
which they surmounted them. l had a
most enjoyable trip and shall repeat 1t
next year"
General Wheeler will spend the winter
at his home in this county, giving his at
tention to his large farming interests
wfAch he has somewhat neglected since
he has been in the army the last time.
He went from here to Jackson County
to take part in a grand Democratic rally
at Scottsboro.
