THEIR HERO
Loyalty Of Boy Scouts Is Won
BY British General.
Smiling at Youngsters Who Are Drill.
Ing. He 10 Sharply scolded BY
Their Commander, but Squares
Himself.

London.-There is one lad near Lon
don who thinks Gen. Sir John French.
commander Of the British expedi-
tionary forces, is as big as the great
position he holds. And II the English
are forced. like the Germans. to re-
cruit from boys of seventeen or eight
cen, Gen. Sir John French knows
where he can find as gallant a COM
pany Of loyal British youths as ever
fought for their king. Here's the
story:
A an elderly. gray-haired gentleman
stood waiting fol" a team near West.
minister bridge some weeks ago, there
suddenly swept into view a rather non.
descript company Of ten or twelve
of the Boy
Scouts. The little company, to the
monotonous beat of oil can drums, and
led by q very freckled. very young man,
who carried q stan from which ribbons
fluttered, clambered up the embank-
ment and drew up in double file col
umn on the pavement. to the shrill
All" Of the leader.
The gray-haired gentleman, who
watched the evolution, smiled. The
freckled leader blushed furiously.
brought his stan down on the pave
ment with a bang and. looking the
gray-haired gentleman in the eye, said,
Who the - are you laughing at?"
The gentleman drew himself up
stifly and apologized. The young
leader was not appeased. Without q
trace of pertness, but as though the
organization for which he stood had
been ridiculed, he said. Well. il you
want to know, we're doing a little bit
for our country. 1t amt much. but
may arst when you did yours last"
The smile completely disappeared
from the gentleman's face, rs a work
man near by leaned to the Boy Scout
leader and whispered something in
that young gentleman's ear. The boy
gulped, fell back momentarily. and
then. pulling himself together. stepped
to the front of his youthful command.
He gave a shrill order. Every right
hand jerked to every cap in military
salute and remained there.
The freckled leader, his face once
more a deep crimson-but not of an.
ger this time-about-faced directly in
front of the gray-haired gentleman
who, without moving. had been intent
ly watching these "maneuvers." Al
the leader turned from his company
and faced the gentleman, his hand
went to his cap in salute.
Il beg your pardon, general" he
said.
1t was Gen. Sir John French tc
whom he spoke. And General French
showed why he 10 the leader he has
become. The great soldier leaned tc
the boy. shook his hand warmly, and
paid him further compliment by say
ing, There were alas, no scouts when
I was a boy" Then he returned the
salute and walked away.

The HaEue.-A well-known Dutch
journalist who has returned from .
tour through Alsace-Lorraine and
right through to the German lines be-
fore Verdun gives in Het Leven some
interesting pictures Of the position on
the German frontier and at the front.
Particularly significant is what he
writes regarding the admitted superb
ority of the French artillery and the
clever ruses they adopt. He writes:
Il proceeded by train to Metzland,
thence set of by motor. with an ober-
lieutenant as an escort, to visit the
lighting line. Across the French
frontier and on past Latour and
Woevre We met an ever-increasing
number of infantry. artillery and trans
port columns and the further We went
the buster became the scene.
German officers to whom l spoke
in this neighborhood we're by no
means satisfied with the. progress OF
affairs; there was no progress to be
noted, principally because the French
artillery had proved itself superior to
the German The French seem to
have dragged their heavy guns out of
the fortresses and to have placed them
in the open field. Moreover. it is as.
serted that the French artillery can
reach at least two kilometers farther
than that of the Germans.
I'VE passed on by St Hiiaire to
Harville, where we were only twelve
kilcmeters from the great fortress of
Verdun. whose guns were sending out
their terrible messengers of death.
Not far from that point was a mag
nificent battery of thirty centimeter
motor hoWitzers | was not allowed
to approach it. but German officers
told me that the Austrians had suf-
fered terrible losses. The French
shells raked even the best sheltered
positions-a fact which gave the Aus
trians mach food for thought At last
they found the solution In a tree
close to their battery they found
Frenchman armed with a field tele-
phone who promptly informed Verdun
of any change in the position of the
Austrian guns. The brave French
man was given short shrift. But the
instance does not stand alone. Re
peatedly have the Germans found
country people in trees and in cellars,
all with pocket telephones.
THE Germans have made such ac-
tions almost impossible now, but still
they admit they are not by long
way where they would like to be. Ev-
erywhere heard in Germany officers
and soldiers alike speaking with
great joy of the fall Of the Fort de
Camp des Romans. Now at last there
was a gap in the line of forts. At the
fighting line itself l heard q very diff.
ferent story. Yes, they had taken the
fort and the Bavarian soldiers had
acted magnificently but whether they
could hold the fort was another ques-
tion. The French guns in the forts
Of Paroches and Leonville were SO ex-
cellent that they completely covered
the Camp des Romans and the gap
W1s NO gap At all"
