Germans were unable to make any
Roadway against the admirably disci-
plined and admirably led youngsters,
who probably but for the need of fight
ing men in France would still be lead
ing a miserable and unproductive life
in corrective institutions. Their spirit
of sacrifice may be illustrated by the
following incident:
Three "Joyeux" in fighting near
Courcy on May 81 became slightly
separated from their unit. One of
them spotted small German position
where a group Of the enemy were in
stalling machine gun. Knowing with
out being told the danger of this
method of advance, they charged the

Twice Winner
OF the Medal

Another illustration of the fighting
qualities of these youths is gained
from the following incident:

where he might complete two years of
military service in line regiment
where discipline was more lax and fa-
vors more frequent. According to cus-
tom, he received a pension of $50
year. He did not like the life Of the
line regiment, so he deserted. He knew
this would deprive him of his medal.
his pension and his reconstructed
honor. He tried to enlist again~jn the
Joyeux ranks, but it could not be done.
SO he assumed a name, claimed to DO
Swiss and enlisted in the Foreign Lee
Sion. The European war came on,
Within two months he had again won
the Medaille Militaire. He was late,
wounded and recognized in hospital
by former companion. But his fine
record in the Foreign Legion wiped
out the crime of deserton. Again he
was set right with society. His story
ends here. The military records and
the books Of court martial where his
exploits became known are still easv
to see to-day. He again melted into
the ranks of the Joyeux, and who
knows whether he might not have been
gle with a Prussian in the Labyrinth?
A military feat during the middle Of
the last century in Africa stands out
in JoyeuX tradition. 1t was during the
war against the Cabylese. the strong
est and hercest tribe in Algeria, that "a
company of JoyeuX were surrounded
on a hilltop in the Atlas Mountains
100 miles from the nearest aid They
held it for five days against repeated
assaults of the Arabs. and even though
most all were wounded or crazy OF
thirst, they swore never to surrender.
To continue life and resistance they
opened veins and sucked blood from
their arms. Ammunition became eX-
kausted Thousands Of Cabylese were
seen below congregatine for a big as
sault. All seemed lost, when the mi
raculous happened. On nearby hill
a venerable Cabylese sheik appeared
and signalled to the others with his
long, flowing white CLOAK The Caby-
lese slowly went away into the desert.
And the surviving Joyeux made their
way back and told t>,e story. The mys-
FERROUS deliverance has never yet been
explained.

They enter the army in separate

limit Of self-sacrifice, must be. carried
out to the last letter. And these
"Joyeux," whose JOY is the opportunity
to fight for France, have carried out
their orders. Their motto is, "To the

all food and been removed, and they
were amply rewarded, inasmuch as
the food was rationed among them,
However, it was not for this that they
held the village until the food was
saved. 1t was simply to keep it from
the enemy.
On another occasion several bat
taions of "Joyeux" were sent to the
rear for reformation and few hours
rest. 1t was a forced march of ten
miles, where they carried heavy ma
chine guns and war material on their
backs. They growled among them
selves because of a retreat which took
them away from contact with the
enemy. But their chiefs knew what
was up, and it came much quicker than
had been expected. They arrived at their
destination a few minutes before mid
night, and the zero hour brought them
an order. without rest, to be on the
way again. Their new objective was
the Plain Of Rheims and the village
of Vrlgny, the latter being held by
the advancing Germans. There was no
growing in the ranks. Contrarywise,
as weary as they were, there was ioy

reached the line before Vrigny before

During the day they inflicted heavy

line at Vrigny, but by so doing they
prevented the enlightenment of Rheims.

Unruly Spirit,
But Good Heart

The "Joyeux" are commanded by
some OF the most efficient officers in
the French Colonial Corps, for. far
from being new units in French wars.
they began to build their tradition in
1880, but never before the present war
have "Joyeux" appeared on battle
fields of the mother country. In the
Northern Africa colonies they have
taken part in every campaign. Here
they were known as the "Zephyrs,"
and their motto was "Mauvais tete
mails bon cnur"-"Unruly spirit, but
good heart They first came to France
in August, 1914, and fought in the
Battle of Charleroi before the Marine.
Here the motto changed to fit the Cir
cumstances, "Jusqu'au dernier sill lie
faut"-"Until the end if necessary"
When a "JoyeuH0 is under sentence
his choice is but to remain in his unit
and do his best. His valor wins him
freedom from the odium of crime if
he wants this freedom. If he cleans
his record on the battlefield he is
allowed to join a regiment Of the line,
where men with no fault against So
ciety mingle together. But many have
declined to accept this privilege and
remain free men in "Joyeux" ranks.
The feats of arms performed by these
youthful soldiers during the past few
weeks compare in equal glory with the
beginning of their European career at
Charleroi Here a battalion Of them
about 1000 bayonets were entirely
surrounded by division of the Prus-
sian Guard, ten times their number.
They buried the battalion flag to pre-
vent it's capture and cut their way out
with cold but bloody steel They re =
gained their place in the great general
retreat to the Marine when all the
world was watching the struggle be-
tween General Joffre's soldiers and
the hordes Of advancing Germans.
In the marshes Of st. Gond during
the great Battle Of the Marine tho
"Joycux" battalons again met the
Prussian Guard. This was a "Joyeux"
day, and they took cruel revenge again
with cold steel. These marAes could
tell grewsome and awful story. They
took part in many fights during 1911,
especially on December ii, when they
helped check the German drive on
Paris down the Valley of the Disc
Compicgnc, which was saved again
few weeks ago, was first saved by the
"Joycux" over three and onc-h half
years ago.
