To prepare for this concert the boys
cut down saplings to make a stage
and covered it with ~tarpaulins off the

and flowers. We sat on the wet

France, June 10Th
The boys are having a big time to-

shot to pieces and what is left are
now buglers.
1t is really wonderful the way the
POilu and Buddy mix together, just
like two glasses of water. No mat
ter where n goes one sees a couple
or group of the two nationalities to-
gether, talking with tongues, with
tongues, eyes, arms and legs-one
trying to Parlez Vous Francois and
the other English. You'd bust your
sides to see some Buddy trying to tell
a Frenchman about an engine or auto
and see him start off on a dog trot for
a few steps, his hands going around
like wheels and choo-chooing with his
mouth.
The universal language that all un-
derstand is their play and which we
all understand. The French are ever
more adept at imitation than we. They
are mainly older than we, our ages
are from 20 to 80 and theirs from rs
to 40. Many of their young soldiers
have answered the final roll call.

One OF the popular faliaeies about
the Russian revolution Is that the
overthrow Of ezarism was merely q
radical measure taken by the people
against a pro-German government,
for the purpose Of q more . vigorous
prosecution Of the war On the side Of
its allies In reality, the March events
were not only revolt against aatoc-
racy, but. also a protest against this
war. The revolution brought a mes
sage Of peace and brotherhood to a
world writhing in the agonies Of a
fratricide war. In an historical utter
ance. which reminded mankind OF the
cry of the great French revolution, the
new democracy appealed. over the
heads Of diplomats and rulers, to the
belligerent nations, to stop this war
thus crystallizing the idea Of peace as
a pact between free peoples. Ever
since then universal peace has been
one OF the main concerns OF the best
