would be remarkable if the race which
had produced number of the finest
scientists, literary men and statesmen
the world has known were not gen.
orally distinguished, for intellect
springs immemorially from the mass
eS.
The French soldier is notably quick;
he learns with ease from text books,
and l have seen him on scout duty APP
ply his knowledge with unexpected
facility. Quickness is his dominating
quality-quickness of movement,
quickness of apprehension and quick
ness of decision Thus such matters
as the taking of cover, news gather
ing, extended order. come almost nat
urally to him. l have many times
been in charge of my companys scouts
and l cannot recall an occasion where
they were discovered by the enemy"
while they invariably succeeded in APP
preaching him so near as to exceed
their duty.
These two qualities, physical fitness
and intelligence, are such as we expect
to find in all soldiers in a greater or
lesser degree. they alone do not dis
man rival, but he has two other quail
ties, almost personal to him, on which
would build great hopes of success
for his country: they are frugality
and gayety. The former quality is
almost essential to a lighting man in
these days of massed armies. when as
many as a million men may be ranged
on either side; the feeding arrange
ments continually break down, the
overloaded trains do not arrive, there
is chaos in the camps.
All this was the problem Lord
Kitchener had to face in South Africa,
ard a difficult task he found it, even
though he had but 250,000 men to feed.
But Lord Kitchener had to deal with
British troops, who are accustomed to
a sutiiciency of food and to comfort
liable standards of every description il
he had been in charge of French
troops he would have found his diff
culties halved, for the F'renchman is
accustomed to small and poor rations,
mainly a coarse variety of bread and
the refuse of the butchers stall
Milk, butter, eggs, bacon are un-
known To him; tobacco is a rarity. and
the pay Il Hdli penny a udA. II Is
therefore not surprising that the
French soldier makes no demands on
the commissariat; what is wonderful
is that in spite of these conditions, he
should preserve the last and greatest
of his gifts-gayety.
1t is almost impossible to overrate
the value of gayety for lighting man.
1t means that he would bear short
commons, WEAKNESS. ram, and wounds
without repining; that he will. as
have seen him do, sing as he tramps
all through the day on sodden reads
with the rain slowly soaking him TO
the skin.
1t is because / have heard the
French soldier sing and make jokes
under these intolerable conditions that
