CHAPTER ".
On the Firinu Line.

When I reported on the Cassard
after my fourteen days. leave, I was
detailed with detachment of the
legion to go to the Flanders front. I
changed into the regular uniform of
the legion, which is about like that of
the infantry, with the regimental
badge-a seven-f1amed grenade.
We Travelled from Brest by rail, in
third-class cars, passing through La
Havre and st. Pol, and finally arriving
at Bergues. From Bergues we made
the trip to Dixmude by truck-a dis
lance of about twenty miles. We car
ried no rations with us, but at certain
places along the line the train stopped
and we got out to eat our meals. AT
every railroad station they have booths
or counters, and French girls work day
and night feeding the Poilus. 1t was q
wonderful sight to see these girls, and
it made you feel good to think yor
were going to fight for them.
It was not only what they did, but
the way they did it, and it is at things
like this that the French beat thu
world. They could tell just what kint
of treatment each Poilu needed, an(
they saw to it that he got it. The!
took special pains with the men of tn
legion, because, as they say, we ar
'strangers," and that means, "the bes

we have is yours" to the French. These
French women, young and old, could
be mother and a sweetheart and q
sister all at the same time to any hairy
old ex-convict in the legion, and do it
in way that made him feel like a lit
tie boy at the time and a rich church
member afterwards. The only thing
we did not like about this trip was
that there were not enough stations
along that line. There is a tip that
the French engineers will not take, I
am afraid.
There is another thing about the
French women that have noticed, and
that is this: There are pretty girls in
every country under the sun, but the
plain girls in France are prettier than
the plain ones in other countries. They
might not show it in photographs, but
In action there is something about
them that you cannot explain. have
never seen an ugly French girl who
was not easy to look at.
| We finally got to Dixmude, after
having spent about eighteen hours or
the way. On our arrival one company
was sent to the reserve trenches anG
my company went to the front line
trench. We were not placed in truin
ing camps, because most of us ha(
been under fire before. I never had
but that was not supposed to MAKE
any difference. They say if you cal
stand the legion you can stand any
thing.
Before we entered the communica
: ton trench, we were drawn up along
2 side of a crossroad for a rest, and t
receive certain accoutrements. Prett

say, we got to like it after q while.

u,
say, we got to like it after while.
Then, too, they do not do any hazing
in the French navy and this surprised
US. We had expected to go through
the mill just as we did when we joined
the American service, but nobody slung
hand at us. On the contrary, every
garby aboard was kind and decent and
extremely courteous, and the fact that
we were from the States counted lot
with them. They used to brag about
it to the crews Of other ships that were
not so hOnored.
But this kindness we might have ex-
pected. 1t is just like Frenchmen in
any walk of life. With hardly an ex-
ception, have never met one of this
nationality who was not anxious to
help you in every way he could; ex-
tremely generous, though not reckless
with small change and almost always
cheery and there with smile in any
weather. A fellow asked me once why
it was that almost the whole world
loves the French, and told him it was
because the French love almost the

that is the reason, too.
About the only way you can describe
the Poilus, on land or sea, is that they
are gentle. That is, you always think
that word when you see one and talk
to him-unless you happen to see him

Some Of them looked scared and 9TH

Then we heard some singing, and pref

according to the lay of the land, some
parts of them being more dangerous
than others. When you come to q

sometimes.
