Why Guynemer Wore His Medals

Why Guynemer Wore His Medals
Some thing % the modesty Of Georges
Guynemer the world-famous aviator
is told by Jacques Mortar in Guy
nemcr, the Ace Of Aces" Guynemer
was asked why if he were so modest
he went about with his crosses and
medals upon his breast.
His answer was, If 1 do this 1t Is
not because take pleasure in it, for II
it be sweet to know that you are cele-
brated, glory is accompanied by many
drawbacks. You no longer biting to
yourself, you belong to everybody. 10
be well known is to see around you all
the time q number Of persons VINO
never cared for you before, but have
suddenly assumed 4 pseudo-friendship
for you. All at once they find out that
you are charming conversationalist,
an infinitely fine soul and more OF the
same kind Of gush. Their object Is to
go out with you and to take you
to see their people. And when they
look at you. they imagine that
you admire them. The misfortune
of renown? You no longer know
where sincerity begins. whether
they are pleasant to you out Of friend
ship or vanity. You are apt to become
unjust to those who do not deserve 1t
and confide in others who deserve 1t
still less The women roll their eyes
tenderly as they look at you. and when
you think they are looking at your
face they are studying your medals. l
am the French Ace OF Aces, and for
eign governments have recognized me
as such. no longer belong to myself.
Some may assert that / am merely a
shop window. but 1t Is window over
which it would be rude on my part 70
draw down the curtain. 1t would be
like the person to whom you give n
beautiful jewel which he shuts up at
the bottom Of a drawer. consider
that acting as do Is an act OF court
esy on my part toward those who nave
decorated me, as we'll as an act OF JUS
tice to aviation itself. My breast on
the one hand and my officers uniform
on the other will remind every passer-
by that on the Fifth Arm there are not
only cox-combs, always the same
walking up and down in Paris, flood
ing all kinds Of bars with their pres
ence. with uniforms and tunics free

Paris, France, September 5.-A
corner OF the great battle toward
which all eyes are turned is the sector
where the Tenth French army under
General Mangin is making systemat-
ic and well-manned effort TO bore its
way to the rear Of the German position
further east Of the Vesle and the Aisne.
French military science is all for out
thanking tactics as against front as
sault, so costly in human lives.
American troops are holding the
enemy on the Vesle. The line there
swMgs back and forth from one side
to the other Of the river. Those chan
ges OF a kilometer or two have no sig
nificance. It il in the neighborhood OF
Juvigny on the flank Of the German
salient that il will be decided whether
the Germans can retire from the area
north Of that strong position or wheth-
er they can hold it.

mander, whose name and fame have

in these last few weeks. Some Of our
finest troops, including the Second Di-

between the Ourcq and the Vesle.

Guns Like Silly Geese.

At the Aisne we ran into war rum
again. We passed hundreds OF cap
tured German guns standing on the
streets and in the squares, looking for
all the world like silly geese with their
noses pointed uselessly upward.
Our objective was the headquarters
of the American troops and we found
them in the weirdest place imagin-
able, the description Of which omit,
lest the rules be violated. though the
Germans know where 1t Is and pop
away at 1t with their artillery.
Our visit was timed at u busy mom-
ent. Our well-served artillery had
been smothering the Boche and pro-
tccting our own advance around Juvig-
ny. all of which has already been cablcd
to you. What perhaps will appear elab-
crate Is the steady stream of Ger
man prisoners being brought In from
this action, and Of whom had an OPP
portunity to see something.
The American troops in this sector
include many who speak German, and
the prisoners talk to them in their own
language and more freely. The large
bag was made up entirely of men who
voluntarily and. from a military view
point, needlessly surrendered. One lot
said that their officers had one by one
disappeared Ito attend conference"
somewhere behind. They didn't see
the use OF going on without officers. so
they came across into our lines. 1t is
doubtful II many German companies,
without officers to club and pistol
them into fighting, could now resist
the temptation to follow the example
Of those troops.
Don't Want to Fight Americans.
The German soldiers appear to be
lately regarding the American SOL
diers in a different light, and count
on good treatment IL they surrender.
Some even announced that they were
unwilling to fight Americans. Several

the prisoners. Their faces were dull

AS I examined them felt sure that
such men could not long be depended

the Allies. Later, when 1 made this
observation to an American headquar-

1T won't do to generalize from what
YOU have seen. Those prisoners are
after experiences that would depress
even our men, and appearances may
be deceptive"

Enemy Quickly Disappeared.

An official of railway which passes through Philadelphia, am told, was in the habit of expressing his war senti- ments without restraint to his private secretary, Girard writes in the Phila- delphia Ledger. These sentiments were derOgatOry to the allies and favorable to Germany. One day at the end of a particularly vehement tirade the sec retary said: "I trust, sir that what you have said does not represent your real feelings on the subject" "I mean every word of it," said his employer. It was just after a fire had taken place in nearby city and the responsibility had been laid at the doors of German hirelings whose enterprise the railway man extOlled. "Then shall be obliged to arrest yOu," said the secretary, throwing open his coat and showing the badge of secret service agent. The indiscreet official is now supposed to be in place where what he may have to say in praise of kultur will reach a severely limited audience.

 A most impressive service of mingled emotions of keenest pathos and sub limity, was witnessed last Sunday after noon in the Congregational church at the funeral service of Miss Catherine Kidi, oldest child of Mir and Ms. James Kidd, whose death took place by drown ing in Bradway's mill pond, where she was In bathing. The quick and heroic action of two divings for the maiden by George Barlow secured her, but death ensued her. Miss Catherine was but twelve years old, large for her age and quite matured in thought. The sublime scene at the funeral service was in accord with the wish of few days before the fatal day of Miss Catherine that soon she and all the children should be baptized in the church. At the request of the
