TODAY'S SOLDIERS.
And Why the Nation Can Trust the
French Fighter.

In the discussions Of "Weltpolitikp
which have lately occupied Europe
one factor has largely been neglected,
the material which the French gov
eminent has at hand to enforce the
decisions. That material is the French
soldier.
NGnE have assumed with some rash
ness that France To-Day trusts neither
her men nor her guns. and would not
pit them against powerful adversary.
Having some contact with the French,
in View also of the time | served un-
der the tricolGr, | venture to submit,
saws W. L. George, formerly of the
1928 de Ligne Reims, in the London
Daily Mail, that such is net the case.
There is no distrust and there is no
reason for distrust
Individually the French soldier is
probably the most efficient fighting
man Europe has known. lie may lie
less we'll disciplined than the German,
less stolid than the Austrian, more
afraid of death than the Russian and
Turk, but he has no defects that are
not balanced by qualities. He is a
queer blend of enthusiasm and eau
ton, of energy and ftfulness; taking
him in the aggregate, he is quite ex-
traordinarily human and vivid.
The Englishman abroad is too
readily deceived oy the Frenchman's
small stature; he is too prone to
think that these little soldiers, few of
whom attain five feet ten inches while
the majority are some four inches
shorter, cannot hope 10 withstand the
trials of a campaign. He is entirely
wrong. Personal experience in the
ranks has demonstrated To me that on
marches and Slaneuvers the small and
not the tall man reached quarters in
good condition.
1t was the tall man we left by the
wayside to be picked up by the COM
pany's wagon, while iive-foot four
inches struggled ON in fun kit And
the French kit is no tritie: clothing,

some fifty-siX pounds. under which the
little man marches. runs and jumps.
He has even been known, thus en-
numbered to perform gymnastic feats
and to climb trees
Physically. therefore, the little SOL
der is extremely fit, and incidentally
it should be said that he is never fit
ter than this month for the eontin-
gent is discharged in September; thus
every French soldier has today had
between ten months and twenty-five
months continuous training: he is in
the pink of condition. Ii is not, how
ever, on physical merits that the
French soldiers must rely, even though
they probably be superior in this re-
spect to the heavier German troops.
War, as taught us by our South
African experience. is very much a
matter for individual intelligence, an
adventure where personal energy and
initiative in the ranks may mean as
much as good generalship. These
qualities are essentially French. II
