Necessities of War Demand

Returned Soldier Says Almost Entire French
+ Nation Is Enlisted in Army; Factories
Are Under Military Discipline. -.

/, Here's the point: They cannot strike
nor can they leave their work. II
they misbehave they are disciplined
by the military authorities. They go
to their homes at night and live q
normal life, except that they are In
the army.
Men in occupations useful to the
government. as well as women, are
mobilized aud wear an insignia on
their arms. II In civilian clothes. to
designate them They are proud of
that insignia because It tells to the
world that they are not slackers. Tele-
phone operators come in this class and
l remember an amusing incident In
this connection
Telephone Girls Included.
An American friend of mine who
lives permanently in Paris went into
booth to make . telephone call.
, He was longer than he thought he
should have been in getting his
number and he mentioned the word
camel" In French to me. The girl
heard him and demanded that he
apologize, which he did, as one does
not lightly insult persons who are
in the French army. To call a
Frenchman or Frenchwoman a
camel is a deadly insult.
/ mentioned this idea Of con-
scripting labor in the United States
when ] got back here and was told
that It would not do at all In this
country. Furthermore, / was told
that my residence abroad had Prus-
sianized me; that such a step might
do for Germany, but would never do
here. The Germans have no patent
on the thing. The British do it and
the French do II. In France II has
worked out especially well. or
course. there were the strikes in
Paris in May, 1917. but they were
the outgrowth of Boloism; of the
| machinationsaof the Caillaux- Malvy-
Turmel-Almeyereda groupe of trou-
ble-makers, the latter of which is
dead, while the other three are in
prison awaiting trial for high trea-
son. Even this strike did not extend
! to the shops turning out war prod
ucts. but was confined to the riff
raft of Paris and was easily put
down by the police.
The Frenchman recognizes the
justice Of being modified in the
manner / have described because he
Is bending every effort to bring the
war to an end so that he may take
up his normal life OF commerce and
trade again. He does not see in the
war an opportunity to make money
out of an unfortunate condition so
that he will be able to lay OF after
the war.
1 have heard It said that there is
no reason why we In the United
States should suffer the things
France has had to put up with. That
France Is at war to save her ma
tionality and her homes and that we
are in because We have espoused a
principle. Don't lose sight OF the
fact. that France is fighting for a
principle just as much as we are and
that we are fighting to preserve our
nationality Just as much as France
is. because with the Kaiser sucess-
full in Europe it. would be only q
question Of time when he would come
