By HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE AMERICANS IN
FRANCE, August 23.-There is a
point in the procession of military
rank at which the censor's curtain
falls between the performance and
the public. Lieutenants may do gall
liant things and the story may be
told. Sometimes captains may be
mentioned. Less often majors win
their need of recognition, but col
oneis are not to be named.
SO this is just Big Bits" story.
There are plenty of Big Bills in the
American Army, just as the Army is
full of Fighting Fifteenths' and
other fighting numbers. Every regi-
ment that gets near enough the boche
to put it's hands on him Immediately
becomes a "fghting'' something or
other. and SO far as 1 know they
have all deserved it. Possibly the
fact has escaped attention, but it is
nevertheless a fact that there have
been no suppressed stories of runa-
ways in the chronicle of American
participation in this war. The Amer
lean material is no better than it has
always been, but the American disci-
I.line is. The American youngsters
are soldiers when they reach this side.
Barely q touch of fire is needed to
harden them.

Eut that was not the case with Big

that regiment himself, and daddled

man in it. but he had not been given
time to hammer it into perfected form.
"he regiment was rushed over to
France after little more than
months training on Long Island.
Then it was slammed right into the
front line. If the men had been bit
skittish one could not have blamed
them. They had not had that inten-
sive training which makes fighting
men out of rockies. But if they We're
skittish the Germans did not find it
