A family by the name Of Campbell
are members Of certain Presbyterian
church In one of the suburban districts
near Philadelphia. They are rich, In
fiuential and exceedingly liberal; but
they have fallen into the habit Of APP
pearing at church each Sunday morn!
ing from i've to ten minutes after the
service has commenced. Last Sunday,
after the opening prayer, the minister
was reading to large congregation a
passage from the Old Testament, when
there was heard the swift approach
and sudden halt of an automobile. Just
as Rev. Blank, In loud, sonorous tones
had read the words, And 10, the
camels were coming" the door opened,
and the Campbell contingent. SIX
strong, marched with dignity down the
center aisle! It was too much for hu.
man nature to Withstand. A ripple Of
laughter, quickly checked, sounded
throughout the building, and then the
minister's voice, after a suspicious
break, proceeded with the next verse.

With Musical Honors.

Quite recently a new recruit, who
is rather humorist, was on guard at
Fulwood barracks, Preston, says the
London Mail. During the time he was
on duty the colonel came on the scene,
and, the sentry gave the challenge.
Halt! Who comes there?" Receiv-
ing the reply, and recognizing who il
was, he gave the order, Guard, turn
out!"
Now, he was droll sort of speak
err, and the colonel was dissatisfied
with the way the recruit gave the or
der, so he explained that he should
give the order more sharply: in fact,
he said, Let your voice ring out and
be kind of musical in tome" To put
him to the test he sent the guard
back, and coming up again he received
the challenge, and the recruit receiv-
ing in reply, Colonel" he sang out,
Hi tiddley hi ii, guard turn out.'

the road very dry and heavy pulling
most of the way, with the IA miles of
Hawthorne Evinston sand road in
frightful condition, yet the car made
the trip averaging 20 miles to the

was added to the factory supply at
Jacksonville and this on arriving in

The cars performance on the long

RUSSIAN TROOPS IN FRANCE
Abe Bodied and Well Drilled Men
Anxious to Go On the
Firing Line
ASSOCIATED Pressl


Camp de Mailly, Quarters of the
Russian forces in France, May 90
The Russian troops awaiting orders
here to join their French comrades at
the front are living an idle life in
this lower corner of the old province
of Champagne; it is life that is so
full of the picturesque that it consti-
tiltes perhaps the greatest attraction
that has been witnessed in the depart
ment of the Aube.
Fraternizing with the French sol
diers quartered in another part of the
camp, these men show no need of re-
pose after their rs days of hard sea
voyage. They appear as supple as
their French comrades, although
alongside of them they look some
thing like giants. The entire camp
exhales an atmosphere of gaiety, con-
fidence and discipline which is quite
as striking as their individual appear
ance.
Tommy Atkins" can teach them
nothing in the way of hygiene and
cleanliness. Men, privates and sub
altern officers, take pride and care in
looking after the barracks.
"They are excellent soldiers" Gen
eral Lotchasky said simply to the As
sociated press correspondent in reply
to compliments upon their bearing
and appearance.
"Many of my men might be called
veterans, although you see that there
are very few who are not still young.
They have seen hard service and are
penetrated through and through with
the military spirit; what makes them
particularly happy is the opportunity
to come to fight for France against
the common adversary on French
soil"
These Russians appear impatient
to get to the front. They are mostly
peasant boys, tall, muscular and with
every mark of real sons of the soil
as simple as they are robust, and as
frank and outspoken as they are vlg-
orous.
"Are we soon to march against the
Germans" asked one of the young
subaltern officers, while all the men
gathered around him approved the in
ql1iry with gesture of the head.
A new contingent of these men ar.
rived on May s and this same inquiry
was the first thing they had to say or
reaching the camp. Discretion pre-
vents disclosing how many of them
there are here, and since they con.
tinue to arrive it is impossible to con.
clude as yet whether their presence
| is simply sort of platonic expression
of sympathy from the Russian army
or whether their force is expected tt
add a real element of strength to the
entente allies on this front.
