Homage Paid Wounded.
The homage paid the American
wounded by the French was one of the
most impressive features of the war,
especially the tributes of the children
who stood at rigid attention and sa
luted in the way their daddies had
taught them. Girls and women threw
kisses and flowers at the ambulances.
The drivers and patients looked as
though they had been caked with -four,
so thick was the white dust which
arose in clouds from the highways. A
long dry spell had made the dust worse
than usual. and it was churned into
thick waves by the tread of feet and
the wheels of the wagons and artil-
lery.
AS the dust coated ambulances
moved in long trains over the road TO
Paris. the trip was converted into
triumphal procession. In every ham,
let, village and town there was an ova-
ton. The suburbs of Paris echoed
with cheers as the American wounded
were borne through. Women and chill
dren lined the streets with cries of en-
couragement as they caught sigf of
bandaged heads and barred bloody
shoulders. Even the sight OF a pair
of dusty, hobnailed trench shoes stick
ing from the end of an American am
bulance was enough to move and stir
the people.
