Mothers Of France Proud
Of Sacrifices Being

(Ry e. n. TosTEVIN.)

Somewhere In France, April 49,
Shortly after coming to France, I had
occasion to witness a decoration
ceremony. A. high dignitary OF the
French republic was to bestow the
coveted Croix de Guerre on eight
men, young and old alike, who had
Won glory on the field Of battle or in
the air.
Two of the men in the proud little
line awaiting the pinning Of the
cross on their breasts were wounded; |;
one had lost an arm, and another
was blind. The speeches were made,
the crosses awarded and the dtgni-
tary then turned to a distinguished
appearing French woman, who, with
her son, about six years, was in the
official party, and said:
;And now in behalf Of the republic
Of France and President Poincare,
I pin this cross upon your son, the
son Of the brave soldier who died for
his country"
Look of Pride Followed.
An expression of surprise and a
slight flush of embarrassment for a
moment appeared and then gave
way to look OF pride She drop
ped her hand on her boys curly
locks as he chung to her dress and
looked up with a wondering express
sion, bowed graciously at the plau-
dts of the audience, for Major -'
was an ayion of great renown.
An English captain In the official
party politely expressed his regret
that so gallant a soldier should not
have personally received his award,
saying, Your loss. and your sons
loss is great"
"Yes. captain, but my loss has been
my country's gain. Who am to
begrudge his help to gain the free
dom my country seeks?"
Loses Three Sons In Three Years.
A few nights ago was in a. small
party of soldiers, who taking ad-
vantage, of the willingness Of the
French townswomen to show hos
pitality to the American troops, had
persuaded a yi1Iager to prepare us a
more elaborate meal than that af-
forded by the company marshal. We
were talking over our cigarets and
coffee after the meal, sitting around
the great fireplace in the kitchen
dining room. A short time before a
neighbor woman came in. She greet
ed the family and seated herself in
the corner, content apparently mere

denly to hear unnlistakable sounds
Of weeping. I was nearest to her.

Then she explained that she had

Pierre was killed in the battle Of the
