in France is appreciated deeply and
that it is having an admirable effect as
our welcome in France will have among
our people at home. 1t was the most
impressive thing | ever saw
The general was reluctant at first to
make any statement. But the French
demonstration impressed him as so ex
traOrdinarv that he wished to make it
clear that the American troops in
France understood the spirit in which
the French received them and appreci
atrd it. In his dealings with the French
| military authorities and members of
the French government the general en-
counters the same spirit of sympathetic

necessary to be sick.
Most people go to bed because they
cannot help it, not for joke, and it ill
becomes any person claiming common
sense to taunt them. 1t is grim,
unsatisfactory condition which con-
fronts most folks who are in bed. In
the first place more people die in bed
than any other place, when there is
not war, and most people who have
become invalided for life have spent
some time in beds beforehand; so
when fellow gets over the immedi-
ate pain his mind turns to thoughts
of his possibilities as an invalid or a
dead man. Then when you come in
and tell how good you feel it makes
the sick person feel anything but
happy. If there is one thing more
than another sick person Graves it is
tenderness and a rightful sympathy.
If you want to be amused, 60 to
the movies or pick some we'll little
fellow to bully. The latter would be
more humane.
People who regard sick people as
curiosity have not advanced very far
along the ethical scale and are void of
finer consideration. Sick people ought
to be visited only by their intimate
friends or those who come with some
definite plan in mind to get the sick
persons mind out Of the morbid chan
mel into which it is prone to run. The
greatest tact is necessary not to alarm
them, and too much talking upsets
most of the sick ones.
lSickness is Improbable and un-
happy business, so the more we cheer
them up the greater our service. You
cannot do this on the plane of d
healthy bully nor an unconsleorate
bore.
