Camp Wadsworth. Spartanburg. s.
c., Oct. i4.-Among the Maryland
draft men sent here some weeks ago
was a chap from Baltimore who
claimed exemption from military ser
vice on the ground that he was a
conscientious objector of war.
A few days later, q tall, grim look
ing man appeared in camp and asked
where the conscientious objector
could be found He introduced him
self to the commanding officer as 4
brother OF the soldier in question and
asked permission to have a talk with
him Part of the conversation was
overheard. and those who heard il
say il was heated. although onesided.
You yellow cur" exclaimed the
visiting brother. I'VE are all ashamed
OF you at home. but you are going

told me to come down here and make
you withdraw that fool conscientious
director claim. and II you don't do it

Maj. Coffin found the affidavit and
tore it up, and then issued an order

2.I37 American Soldiers Are GOdfatherS
To Eight Year-Od French War Orphan
Jean Passard, Adopted By
U. S. Regiment Which
Raises $1,000.

Darts. France, Oct. 14-Jean Pas
L sard is eight years old. The war has
left him an orphan and without rela-
tives. Just how he came into the
possession Of a certain regiment Of
engineers IN France is clouded with
mystery, but he did come into their
possession and was officially adopted.
When an American regiment adopts a
French kid. and many of them have
done so, there is no half way bust
ness about it The war time strength
of a regiment is 2.137 men.
He's our kid and our mascot, and
he isn't going to be brought up an
ignoramus," was the consensus Of
opinion, 50 the hat was passed. and
Jean came into possession Of five
thousand francs to be used to educate
him That is $1,000 in American
money.
Jean was fitted out with a tiny
American uniform, and with a whole
regiment to keep an eye on him. he
Is developing rapidly into an Amer
ican-also into a military man. Some
time after his formal adoption by the
regiment, his adopted fathers were
called to the front and had to leave
Jean behind, to his regret and theirs.
Now he is being cared for and fed
and educated by the local Y. N. c A.
organization
His business in life Is teaching
French TO American soldiers. and he
says TO all who apply for informa-
ton that he is going TO New York
