officers mess with all club con
veniences. There is a capac
ious lounge. a big readi ing
room; two real American bath
tubs, barber shop and all the
thing to m a k e the club com
Portable and desirable. The
dining room is a big thing and
the meals are good and reason
able in price. \
French. America a n and
British officers are always to
be found there. The waitress
es are wives, widows or daugh
tiers OF French soldiers, the
barber is a pioneer whose
wounds have incapacitated for
work in the field, the manager
is a soldier with one leg per
manently stiffened. and the
flower beds and lawns are
tended by German prisoners.
In the midst Of lunch there
was moment of great tension
in the dining room. when, for
the first time in history two
Negro officers ntered the
dining room and seated them
selves at a table.
Observers ofthe little drama
saw the polite mattresses ask
the new guests for their orders
and saw them served promptly,
saw that they drank water,
and heard the conversation at
the other tables go ahead as if
no strangers were within the
gates.
These are the first lack
officers seen. in the club. The
British have native officers in
the In dian army. but their
rankings. while parallel, are
OF different designations. and
the youngest white subaltern
ranks the oldest black officers,
None Of them and none of the
French Moroccans have ap
