ord equal to or better than that of
the troops holding the sector north
west of Toul.
The orders for them to leave their
billets came suddenly a few weeks
ago. The troops entrained and rode
to the rail head nearest the position
into which they were going. They
knew whittier they were bound and
welcomed the opportunity to start the
work of fighting the Germans.
The units as they entrained were
received by the French general com
manding the sector. who kissed the
flag reverently and then addressed
the men, saying he held them in the
same regard as his own soldiers and
that they were brothers in arms, fight
ing for the same great cause. He
| warned them to be cautious in deal
ing with the enemy over the distant
hills.
The French soldiers, he said, were
skilful in hunting these wild beasts"
and were glad of the opportunity to
pass along all they knew to their
American comrades. He recognized
they were courageous and anxious to
test themselves against the enemy,
but advised that they should go slow
at first.
The troops made a long march to
the line, sin ging at intervals to help

large scale impressed the Americans
deeply. Many of them expressed the
hope that they would soon be able
to help punish the perpetrators.

home one of the horses got very much

he got loose from the harness the

British Take Over French Sector.

Feb. 23.-Another striking illustration
of the coordination between the en-

been given in the successful transfer
of considerable stretch of the front

British hands.
From the inception of this delicate
operation no hitch occurred. Thou

thodically out of the line, day after
day, to make room for similar British
