would be more than welcome in the
camps, particularly in France.
Nothing would do a homesick SOL
der any more good than to be made
a regular recipient of his home newsr
paper. If you can't afford to sub
scribe for him, roll up back numbers
of the paper and send them to him.
If you did feel like putting him on
the list, he would bless you.
Much is said about the need for
keeping our soldier boys away from
the temptations of army life. One of
the greatest causes of vice is an I'M
occupied mind. IF the army lines
are well supplied with tents where
there is plenty Of interesting reading
matter, a great many idle hours will
/ be pleasantly filed. The fellow who
is quietly reading the home paper or
an American magazine is not chasing
around the outskirts of the camp
looking for trouble.

ting too much of this stuff. The
home paper will be read by soldiers
who come from many miles distant
and know nothing of the place where

popular magazines will be thumbed

In telling of his pride in his COM

the maneuvers, considering that since
they have been here the training
consisted almost wholly of the technt-
cal side of French warfare. with all
the new paraphernalia of offensive
and defensive tactics. During their
spare time away from trench practice
they have been drilled in close order
tactics, but today had the opportunity
to show what they could do in the
field. The result was most gratifying
and encouraging.

U. S. TROOPS IN
REVIEW BEFORE
GENERAL SlBERT
CONTINUED from Page -

Attached to his staff were half a
dozen French officers, including the
general of a famous division, all Of
whom were enthusiastic in their
praise of the spectacle. Maj.-Gen.
Sibert and staff slowly rode up and
down before the various regiments
drawn up at attention. The review
ground was staked out with Amert-
can flags. and when Maj.-Gen. Sibert
had taken up his position the army
began to move. The manoeuvresf by
which it broke from regimental
fronts into lines of platoon arranged
by companies and battalions would
have done credit to soldiers with
years of training.
It was the first time an American
Army had passed in review under its
own organization, and the display
was most imposing. Marching In line
of platoons means moving forward
with four platoons abreast, each
platoon being formed in. columns OF
fours.. The space between the pla-
toons being considerable, the head
and front of the marching column
are fully 200 feet wide.
Each of the four platoons In
company seemed full sized companies
under the old order of things IN the
American army. At the head of each
regiment was a band playing regl-
mental marches, one. OF winch
Happy Heinie,' had a distinct smat-
tering of Teutonic tones, much to the
amusement of French military OIL
GERS.
An amusing incident of the review
was the first appearance in line OF
1-a n q
on small carts instead of pack mules
as formerly. Each cart is drawn by
a mule driven by a soldier. The latter
had short but extremely interesting
time training the mules. These little
French vehicle mules being used to
working in double rather protested
against single harness. The result
has been that during the last week
stray mules have been encountered
here and there about the camp with
bits Of carts and harness hanging
about their necks.
Even today some of the mules are
inclined to be a bit playful, one dash
ing out of the line just as he was
passing the general. After brie1
t0lr of the column in a wrong direc-
ton he decided to be good, and ths

proper place again. Some sent the
carts by the reviewing party in gal
at circus, the carts are so small and
- drivers so large and all welding
long, cracking whips
AS the marching troops reached g
point some distance beyond the re-
viewing party they reformed int,
columns of fours and, this stretched
out, they found their way along curry.
