Granudated sugar stock struck a
low ebb Tuesday night, and one Far

situation looked serious, according to
information communicated to him.
Inquiry made at one of the leading

brought information to the effect that

CHAPTER ~.
on the Eirlna Line.

When I reported on the Cassard
after my fourteen days leave, was
detailed with a detachment of the
legion to go to the Flanders front. I
changed into the regular uniform of
the legion, which is about like that of
the infantry, with the regimental
badge-a seven-flamed grenade.
We Travelled from Brest by rail, in.
third class cars. passing through. La
Havre and st. Pol. and finally arriving
at Bergues. From Bergues we made
the trip to Dixmude by truck-a dis
lance Of about twenty miles. We car
ried no rations with us, but at certain
places along the line the train stopped,
and we got out to eat our meals. At
every railroad station they have booths
or counters. and French girls work day
and night feeding the Poilus. It was a
wonderful sight to see these girls, and
1t made you feel good to think you
were going to fight for them.
It was not only what they did, but
the way they did 1t, and 1t is at things
like this that the French beat the
world. They could tell just what kind
Of treatment each Poilu needed, and
they saw to It that he got It. They
took special pains with the men Of the
legion. because. as they say, we are
Strangers" and that means ''ths best

ing along the road, without their guns,
few Of them being slightly wounded.
Some Of them looked scared and 9TH
ers happy, but they all seemed tired.
Then we heard some singing, and pref.
ty soon we could see an Irish corporal
stepping along behind the Huns, with
his rife slung over his back, and
every once in while he would shut
fle bit and then sing some more. He
had grin on him that pushed his
ears back.
The British noncom who was de.
tailed as our guide sang out: "What
kind If time are you having, PATTI"
The Irishman saluted with one
hand, dug the other into his pocket
and pulled out enough watches to
make you think you were in a pawn
shop. "Oh, a foin toim I'm havin',"
he says. II got wan from each Of thin
fellas." We counted fourteen prison.
ers in the bunch. Pat sure thought he
was rolling in wealth.
After we were rested up we were
issued rifles, shrapnel helmets and
belts. and then started down the com
munication trench. These trenches
are entrances to the fighting trenches
and run at varying angles and vary
ing distances apart. They are sell
dom wide enough to hold more than
one man, SO you have to march single
file in them. They wind in and out,
according to the lay Of the land, some
parts Of them being more dangerous
than others. When you come to a
dangerous spot you have to crawl
sometimes.
There are SO many cross trenches
and blind alleys that you have to have
a guide for long time, because with
out one you are apt to walk through
an embrasure in a fire trench and
right out into the open, between the
German front line and your own.
Which is hardly worth while!
If any part Of the line is under fire,
the guide at the head of the line is on
the lookout for shells, and when he
hears one coming he gives the signal
and you drop to the ground and wait
until it bursts. You never get all the
time you want, but ut that you have
plenty Of time to think about things
while you are lying there with your
face in the mud, waiting to hear the
sound OF the explosion. When you
hear 1t, you know you have got at least
one more to dodge. If sou do not hear
it-well. most likely you are worrying
more about tuning your thousand.
string harp than anything else.

say, we got to like it after while.

festive American manner, but, as I
say, we got to like it after a while.
Then, too. they do not do any hazing
in the French navy, and this surprised
us. We had expected to go through
the mill Just as we did when we Joined
the American service, but nobody slung
"a hand at US. On the contrary, every
garby aboard was kind and decent and
extremely courteous, and the fact that
we were from the States counted q lot
with them. They used to brag about
1t to the crews Of other ships that were
not 30 honored.
But this kindness we might have ex-
pected It is just like Frenchmen in
any walk Of life. With hardly an ex-
ception. have never met one Of this
nationality who was not anxious to
help you In every, way he could; ex-
tremely generous. though not reckless
with small change, and almost always
CHEEKY and there with smile In any
weather. A fellow asked me once why
It was that almost the whole world
loves the French, and told him It was
because the French love almost the
whole world, and show 1t. And think
that Is the reason, too. =
About the only way you can describe
the Poilus. on land or sea, is that they
are gentle. That is, you always think
that word when you see one and talk
to him-unless you happen to see him
within bayonet distance Of Fritz.
The French sailors sleep between
decks In hunks. instead of hammocks,
and as had not slept in bunk since
my Southerndown days. it was pretty
hard on me. So I got hold Of some
heaving line, which is one-quarter-inch
rope. and rugged up a hammock. In
my spare time taught the others how
to make them, and pretty soon every
body was doing 1t.
When taught the sailors to make
hammocks, I figured, Of course, that
they would use them as we did-that
Is, sleep In them. They were greatly
pleased at first, but after they had
tried the stunt Of getting in and stay
Ing in. It was another story. A ham
mock is like some other things-it
works while you sleep-and IL you are
not on to 1t, you spend most Of your
sleeping time hitting the door. Our
gun captain thought I had put over q
trick hammock on him. but I did not
need to-; every hammock is trick
hammock.
Also. I taught them the way we
make mats out Of rope, to use while
sleeping on the steel gratings near the
entrance to stoke holes. In cold wealth
er this part Of the ship is more COM
Portable than the ordinary sleeping
quarters, but without mat It gets too
hot.
American soldiers and sailors get
the best food In the world, but while
the French navy chow was not fancy,
it was clean and hearty, as they say

down East. For breakfast we had
bread and coffee and sardines; at noon
a boiled dinner, mostly beans. which
were old friends Of mine, and Of the
well-named navy variety; at four In
the afternoon, a pint Of vino, and at
six, supper Of soup, coffee, bread and
beans.
Although the French seventy five"
is the best gun in the world, their ma.
val guns are not as good as ours. and
their gunners are mostly older men.
But they will give youngster q gun
rating IL he shows the stuff.
Shortly after I went aboard the Cas-.
sard, we received Instructions to pro-
coed to Spezia. Italy, the large Italian
naval base. The voyage was without
