FRANCE ON AMERICAN
PROGRESS.

Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner to this country, in recent
statement discloses some interesting
facts. He says that by July France
will manufacture enough big guns for
100000 American soldiers if she is
furnished the raw material, and that
since the war France has given her al
lies 1,350,000 rifles, $4,000 automatic
rifles, LOO machine guns, S00,000,000
cartridges, $500 guns and ALSO air.
planes.
He described Americas military eff
fort as wonderful and splendid" and
surprise to the enemy" In April,
he said, our army was about 225,000
officers and men, but besides a vast
army at home we now have more than
that number in France. Regarding
American aviation progress he stated
that American progress was beyond
al expectations"
Reviewing the part of France, NJ.
Tardieu said that, not including col
onials, France has 4,750,0O0 men
modified as workmen and soldiers, g.
100000 of whom are in the army zone.
Of the 755 kilometres on the west
front, the French hold SOS, the Eng
Iish 165 and the Belgians rs.
The speech of the commissioner
seems to have been delivered for the
purpose of backing the present adj
ministration, as the speaker points out
that the allies are taking care of the
immediate needs of the American
army in order to get the men over
there quickly. Critics who wish the
United States to handle everything
forget the value of time, but as soon
as this country can make her air.

own forces with these essential things

TARPON BOY WITH CANADIANS
B. w. Morgan Says Receiving the Evening Leader is Just
Like Meeting Friend From Your Home Town

goes to sixty below in some parts.
Now, wouldn't that frost your whis-
kers?
There are about forty thousand Am
orleans in the Canadian ranks, but
you don't hear anything of it around
here. They get you over here, you be-
come British subject, and that ends
lit. Oh, this is great country, where
people enter and leave their houses
through the skylight after a snow
storm. The air and water here are
| fine that is, when it's not so cold you
can't use it.
| / want to tell you of recruits ex-
lperience in our camp a short time ago,
during the severest weather. Now,
what we do here on real cold day
| is to put on all our clothes, including
extra sox and underwear if we have
them, button up our great coat, turn
lup the collar, pull the flap of our
storm cap down, then wrap muffier
round our face and breathe down in
! side our shirt.
The rookie was not onto this warm
up stunt, so he poked his uncovered
face out the door and opened his
mouth. His breath froze solid. A
guard saw him fall and rushed to his
aid and with the assistance of several
others pulled the chunk of frozen
breath out before the fellow choked to
death. The thing that saved the
rookie, though, was his set of false
teeth, which was frozen into the
breath and slid right out with it.
Now, if he had had regular teeth they
never could have pulled that chunk
of frozen breath out, and the poor
boy would have died horrible death.
Amt it awful, AIRY?
Write me line some time and tell
the boys hello for me.
Sincerely,
B. w. Morgan.

be discharged and sent home.
Good old Florida sunshine is all |
need; this thirty below zero stuff is
no good for a Southerner.
I'll tell you, Lucas, I'd hate to be
buried in this terribly cold country,
for if Gabriel ever toots his horn in
the winter time, the dead in graves
here will never rise unless they have
hand grenades with which to blast
their way out.
We have had two billiards in the
last three weeks; one was a sixty
miller. Thousands of people suffered
terribly from the cold and some were
frozen to death. All traffic was stop
ped, trains showed in and even the
big steam snow pillow was buried for
days, SO you can form some idea of
what winter in this country is like. 1t

THE SOLDIERS SONG ON THE
STACKER
(Sent in by Abe Tarapani.)

STACKER
(Sent in by Abe Tarapani.)
We give you our services;
You cut off our beer;
But the Stacker can drink
Till it's up to his ear.
We lost good job
To keep you from harm,
While the Stacker goes by
With a girl on each arm.
And laugh at the soldier
Poor, unlucky cuss; w.
You go with Stacker
Why criticise US?
The Stacker rolls round in ait" of
his own
And soaks US a quarter to drive US to
town;
Yet we leave the streets at eleven at
night,
While he sticks round as long as he
likes.
Discipline, we know, is a thing that
must be,
But honest to goodness, what we fail
to see
When soldier drinks nothing but wa
ter and pop,
Why the drink o. Stacker can't also
be stopped.
The Stacker may dance, but it seems
rather hard
That all the best dances are uniform
barred.
We have taken our rifles, and taken
our place,
And will go to our death with a smile
on our face,
But this is our honest appeal to you
Until we go across-Give us our due.
