The Southern and Southeastern
camps show the greatest sick rates.
Closely following them are the two
embarkation camps in Virginia, where
the men who are to be left behind

AMERICAN SOLDIER HEROES
NOW HEAR: "SEAKE, PARDv'
They Prefer to Be Unkssed When They Are
Receiving Medals for Bravery from,
French High Officers

Diplomats among the Marines in
France have eliminated one Of the
horrors of being a hero. The an
nouncement was casually made yes
terday in a report from Marine Corps
headquarters describing the winning
and award of thirty Franch War
Crosses to members of the American
legion known to the Germans as
"devil-dogs." To be blunt about it.
the news is this:
No longer do French officers kiss
on each cheek an American who
has won the Croix de Guerre. In
stead, the officer comforting the hon
or pins the bronze decoration to the
left breast pocket of the hero and
then shakes his right hand.
As yet the official files Of the Ma
rine Corps have not disclosed the
name of the diplomat who brought
about the change in French tactics
in dealing with American heroes. 1t
is understood, however. that he is
an officer Of no mean rank, who late
ly returned to the United States.
Although he does not wear a French
War Cross. his name is enshrined
in the heart OF every Marine who
has picked out the spot on his tunic
where he plans to wear the green
ribbon.
Hnnd-shaking Tactics.
According to the informa ton at
hand. the first occasion upon which
the French adopted the Misunderstanding
tactics of the American, as an ex-
preston Of esteem, was in May. Just
a few weeks before the occasion, a
company of Marines had been sent in
to relieve a detachment of their pals
They took over the front line section
and had barely begun to get their kits
into the dugouts, when "bam," along
came a stream of high explosive
shells.
1t was more than a mere glad-to-
sce-you from the Germans-it was an
hour of horror which might be COM
pared to a welcome to the inferno.

the newcomers in the American line
knew that trouble was brewing. The
trouble took form in a selected storm
battalion. known along the front as
"Hindenburg's Circus"
This plodding storm battalion at
tempted with bombs and grenades to
overrun the American line. but in
stead OF three-ring show, with the
Americans jumping through the loop,
they found that the Americans had
selected the job OF ring master as
their very own.
In the short sharp fight which
followed. five officers, one of them
a major. and twenty-five noncom-
missioned men gave overwhelming
evidence that they knew how to lead
and be led. The result was pris-
oners. and dead and flying Germans.
Worst weather OF Month.
The worst weather of the month
befell when the men were ordered
to section Of woodland to receive
their hard-won War Crosses. The
French who were to be honored at
the same time reached the clearing
first. Then silently through the
mist and rain. down q pine-coyered
path. walked the American heroes,
escorted by a detachment Of their
comrades.
Very soon afterwards. the Ameri-
can officers in command of the divi-
sion and the regiment together with
the French officers arrived. A
blare OF trumpets greeted them.
Then after few words of commea-
dation. the French officers approach
ed the Americans and pinned the
medals. Some of the young heroes
were ready to turn the other cheek.
But to their surprise. they found
themselves being shaken warmly by
the hand.
1t was no surprise when the
Americans at the end of the cere-
mony gave a cheer, and a strong
lusty one. too. for France and her
brave and diplomatic officers.
