FIGHT FOR FRANCE
SOLDIERS OF FOREIGN LEGION
HAVE GLORIOUS RECORDS.
All Nationalities and Types Serve
Under the Tri-colored Flag in the
Colonies of the Great Euro
pean Republic.

In the bloody hand-to-hand fight
with the Moors over the dead body OF
their commanding officer, Major Pre-.
yost. the men OF the French Foreign
Legion were true TO the organization s
record for gallantry.
Miscellaneous fighting In the French
colonies has been the Legionaries' spe-
cialty. They campaigned against the
Black Flags and filled hundreds OF
alien graves in Tonkin. In Dahomey
500 of the Legionaries bore the brunt
of the fighting and earned Gen.
Doud's praise as the best soldiers in
the world" BY tradition they never
serve in France. One of their most
brilliant achievements, however, was
the defense of the bridge in the first
battle of Orleans i'm 1870, where fewer
than 1000 men held an entire Prus-
possible for the French army to re-
treat without serious loss and save its
artillery. The Legion lost 500 men in
the action.
Into the two infantry regiments
drifts steady stream of plain sol
diers, bankrupt adventures, fugitives
from justice, political refugees, gen
teel blacklegs i'm disgrace, men OF
title and men of no account, ready TO
march so kilometres a day under the
flaming African sun, so they can lose
their identity 1t is brigade of mys-
terry and romance
In one company some years ago
were found a Roumanian prince sus-
pected of having murdered his broth
err; an Italian cavalry officer dismiss
ed from his country's army for cheat
ing at cards Russian nihilist prince
who had escaped from Siberia; an ex-
canon OF Notre Dame OF Paris sus
pended from ecclesiastical functions
for the best of reasons; an English eX-
major of Hussars and German count
who had held high military rank at
Berlin. After a terrible engagement
with the Kabyles, in which both the
surgeon-major and his assistant We're
killed, no one was left to care for the
wounded Assembly" was sounded
and riding along the line the major
asked, ANY doctors or surgeons
among your" Nine men left the ranks
each of whom had taken his degree
in a European university.
A hard-drinking, quarrelsome. duel
loving, decil-may-care lot of social
castaways and professional soldiers,
the Legionaries are ruled with iron
discipline. The slightest act of ag-
erosion against a superior officer is
punished with death. During the war
in Tonkin II members were court
martialed and shot in one day. But
in the face of danger, whatever their
vices or their crimes, the wearers of
the smart kept and baggy red breaches
never fail to give good account of
themselves. They are always ready
and eager TO fight. Men like Marshal
Bazaine, Gen de Negier and Gen. Du-
pin have led them. Count de Maleret,
a court favorite in Napoleon Ills
time, having been disfigured for life,
sought their command. Villebois-Ma-
reuil, who fought with the Beers, was
once an officer in the Legion.

for a shopkeeper telling me that We
