FRENCH GENERAL A TIGER
Mangin, the African Veteran, One
of the Most Dreaded Foes OF
Pocbe Soldiers

| Paris Correspondence, OF London
London Daily Mail: Mangin is the
tiger among the French generals
Even in appearance he has some
thing of the air OF the great Jungle
cats. His expression is grimly te-
line. \ square iawed man with a
narrow line OF dark mustache, thin
firm set lips and black, bristling
hair trimmed like a brush. To tell
the truth. he has rather a forbidding
not to say ierociouS, appearance
and there is a look in his eye which
shows you that he is humorously
aware OF it.
After Mangin had retaken Douau-
mont fort at Nerdun in November
l9l0-a Job that required all the jun
gle quality any general might pos
sess-Lucien Jonas was in his dug
ont one day painting his portrait
Mangin went quietly on with his
work until the artist had blocked in
the rude outlines of the general S
stern. square features. Let me
see it," he demanded suddenly. "Ah,
that's perfect he remarked. "Nou
can leave it like that. If YOU finish
it you will only ilatter me.
Mangin has the intellectual quail
teS OF craft and stealth and merci-
less logic necessary in dealing with
the German hyena. lie is sharp in
tooth and claw, and there is no sin
gle commander the bocheS hate so
much as they hate him.
Chas. Manein is what the French
army calls an African. When the
war broke ont in 1914 he had nearly
50 wears OF desert campaigning be
hind him. He was in all Frances
Sudan, Congo, East African and
Moroccan scraps and was wound
ed in five OF them Three years in
Tonkin formed the only variety in
his military career after he sailed
Tor Dakar as L green Subaltern.
The general was born 52 years
ago in Lorraine. His father was a
civil engineer, but the Mangins are
essentially 4 fighting breed. One
OF his soldier uncles was a general
at +5. Two OF his brothers. both
young men, were killed in Frances
colonial wars. The third, an African
missionary, threw of the robe Of
the white Monks in 1914 and
came back to France as sergeant OF
Senegalese sharpshooters.
When Mangin was in Africa he
wrote a book called Black Power,
which had much TO do with the crea-
ton of Frances African army,
Mangin saw that a country like
France, with a falling population,
was doomed in struggle with Ger
many unless it made good use OF its
colonial reserves; so the divisions
OF "Sidis" and "Bamboulas' - the
French soldiers nicknames for Arab
and negro troops-sprang into be-
ing, and under Mangin's command
have done much of the most bril-
liant attacking work in the present
war

FAITH IN RED CROSS
Confidence Of Wounded Tribute
to Organization.
Discharged Veteran Tells Of Heroic
Devotion to Duty While
Under Fire.

Chicago.-"What could any army d.
without the Red Cross?'' asks Sergt
Ronald Kingsley, late Of the Fifty
eighth Canadian infantry, who is vet
eran of the French front permanently
| discharged because Of injuries re
ceived in battle.
Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.
II think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be paid to the Red
Cross is the confidence of the wounded
man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be, if once he
gets to the Red Cross man his life is
safe.
II witnessed an incident during the
battle Of the Somme which I shall
never forget. A Red Cross officer and
four stretcher bearers came to the sup
port trenches for some wounded men,
The officer raised a Red Cross flag in
plain view of the Germans and with
his men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.
AS they walked off the Germans DELHI
erately fired on the party and the Off
Ger went down. He got up and started
again, but was hit second time and
did not get up.
almost at the same time we heard
salvo of German three-inch shells,
which wounded all the stretcher-bear-
ers and the wounded soldiers received
new wounds. Yet, in spite of this, an
other Red Cross party that same day
went out and brought In wounded men.
Need one say anything more? think
not"
The work Of the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In
variably the men and the ambulances
are in range Of enemy guns. Devotion
to duty characterizes the Red Cross
workers and the American boys are
stimulated by this assurance.

One concerned a flock of twenty

of North Dakota flock of thirty-five
