FRENCH CAPTAIN
DESCRIBES WARFARE
Captain Carl Ullern Gives In
teresting Experiences at Red
Cross Meeting.

Captain Carl UlIern, of the French army
now training at Camp Hancock gave an
account of his impressions of the war at
a meeting in the interest of the Red Cross
held at Partridge Inn, Monday evening
last.
''The French he said previous to the
war, were peaceabie, rather volatile,
and pleasure loving people. The desire
for revenge on account of the Franco
Prussian war had largely died out, but
after the ruthless destruction OF property
and the atrocities of some of the Ger
mans, the soldiers and people of France
had come to actually hate the enemy"
In the early days of the war the French
army was nassed in the direction of
Alsace-Lorraine but upon the German in
vasion Of Belgium, was transferred to
the north of France to Withstand the on
slaught The French were compelled to
retreat but each division believed that all
the others were advancing victoriDuSly,
while it alone was retreating for strateg
ic purposes. He called attention to the
JOY which was felt when the retreat was
stopped at the battle of the Marine, even
though the great chemical works and IN
dustrial plants of France, most OF which
were located in the northern part, were
left in the hands of the Germans.
1.-THE French had expected open war
warfare from the Germans. Both armies
were impressed in these early days OF
the war, with the Importance OF vast
stores of munitions, and both were COM
PEELED to cease activities until the sup
ply Of ammunition was greatly increased.
The captain gave but few instances of
German breaches of the laws of modern
warfare He declared that the morale
of the Germans was high or low, depend
ing upon the unit considered. In some
cases the French in small numbers are
able to bring in a large number Of Ger
man prisoners, but in one case eighty
Germans held for one whole day French
force, twenty times as large.
The French now wait until the Ameri
can troops can be trained and placed in
position to support the Allies, and TO bring
new enthusiasm into the troops who have
fought so nobly He expressed great
satisfaction that America, the greatest
neutral, had now become. America, the
greatest fighter.

WORK is DONE.

Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman Of

all their work is included in three
main divisions: % Inside the camps
through the Y. M. C. A, Knights of
Columbus, American Library Associa-

ing and theatricaIs; ~ suppression of

through the trained community organ
izers employed by the Playground Rec

FosdicI said: 81 have no hesitation in
asserting that the work which your

activities of communities near military

of work with which we have been re-
lated.

Wneu he has deluged half the world in

Broken the bond OF human brotherhood.
Patched up his infamies with pious lies,
Laughed at his murdered victims groans

Done deeds that would shame hell and
called them good.
And hoped for victory as his foul crimes

And yet this crowned destroyer OF his

Pretends thai God is his ally, and calls

the greatest things for the benefit OF
Rockford and Camp Grant would be
national Prohibition. Never was there
better proof of the fallacy of states
rights in handling the liquor question
than Is here exemplihed. Rockford,
Is miles from the Wisconsin line, is
cursed by the brewer, distiller, sa-
loonkeeper and bootlegger of wet
Beloit.
Rockford has learned a great les
son; one SO simple that the wonder
is that she and other cities have been
so long in learning it-that you can
not spend a pay check for booze and
still have your money to spend for
shoes, groceries and dry goods. The
men who used to be patrons of the
saloons are now getting on their
feet, paying cash when they buy,
where they used to ask for credit.
They have paid up many of those old
bills. The merchants, producers and
