Sammies Learning "Soccer;'
Teaching Poilus Football
How American and French Troops Join in
Games and Festivities Told in Letter
from Georgetown Graduate.

The French soldiers are rapidly
learning the tricks of American foot
ball. but they don't go in for all
teaching the American troops in
France a new game-soccer-played
along lines distinctly different from
the game in this country. Procla-
nations by the mayors of the French
villages when Uncle Sans soldiers
arrive attest to the popularity in
which the Americans are held in
France.
These are the impressive facts in
letter received by Hugh ]. Fegan
secretatry of the Law School, from
Lieut. T. Carroll, Georgetown Uni
versity graduate, who is flying in
France. Lieut.. Carroll writes that
the French people will go to any
inconvenience to make the American
troops happy. His letter, in part,
is as follows:
Bathing a Luxury.
For some time past we have been
in this beautiful country and are
new Quartered with our squadron in
small French town, and in some
old French garrison that must be
about 800 years old, although in the
most remarkable repair. We are in
the most comfortable barracks and
are enjoying as good. or better mess
than any of US have had since COM
ing in. With the exception Of bath
ing facilities we are finely equipped.
Bathing over here, in this particu-
lar village, at least, seems to be
looked upon as a luxury.
We are enjoying the finest spring
weather under the most beautiful
skies imaginable. The thermometer
shows that it was foolish for us to
expect cold weather in this section.
Inc boys are all fast making the
acquaintance Of the finest people on
earth. 1t is a hard task to try and
understand their language.
We train awhile, drill some. and
some OF the boys put on their old.
blue fatigue clothes to dig a few
holes and fill a few, more and build
mess shacks and move field kitchens.
Withal, however, we manage to find
time to play a game of baseball,
or accommodate some French team
at soccer, a game which they have
been teaching us.
Last Sunday two of our teams
played a game Of real American
football. 1t was a corker. a regular
Georgetown-Virginia tussIe Both
teams had, according to their back
ers, two or three Petey Walls, a half
dozen Gilroys, and there is one boy
here, II you can believe barrack room
dope, who even rivals the famous
Harry Costello.
I'M
The French like football, but they
incline to the scientific end of it.
They learn fast but are not so eager
as the Americans for the rough work.
1t will seem odd to you. l know,
but we had our Christmas dinner one
month late. We had a real old
American chicken dinner, with songs
and speeches, recitations and cheers.

And as far as Anne knew he was

She went right on going around

Last Tuesday afternoon Ralph is
sued his ultimatum.
Anne must be his or perish. But
the girl decided to do neither.
Some one told Anne that police
courts were made especially to pro-
tect her and she beat It down town
and got warrant.
Ralph was found guilty and told
to furnish a $500 real estate bond
or go to jail for sixty days.
