WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
| THE FRONT, May 20. (By maiL)-
One Of the things that gets deeply
into doughboy's blood is the whistle
of a good old American locomotive
| in France, and the clang of it's bell.
1t sounds like home. The American
making the French engines look like
toys.
When the first American locomO-
tives arrived in France, the natives
were astonfshed at the deep toned
bells and whistles. French locomo-
tives have "tooter" on them re-
sembling an enlarged peanut wagon
whistle, say the doughboys, and there
is no bell at all The Americans
contend that the shrill French whistle
is too screechey and effeminate.
A truck load of doughboys was
bouncing over the road near a woods,
from which railroad emerged, in
the vicinity of Verdun. Suddenly
there came deep toned blast of a
locomotive from the woods, followed
by the painting chug that remindesA
you of train going over the Rockies.
Sounds like an American locomo-
tive, surer than thunder" shouted
one of the doughboys, you could
