MEsE SOLDIERS LIKE
CROQUET. FRENCH DO, TOO

Paris, Oct rs (By Mail) .--Croquet
bids fair to become the national game
of Siam when a certain unit OF scrappy
little Siamese soldiers now fighting in
France goes home to their verdant
land. Croqnet, which went. out with
as along with hpopskirts and cfinsing-
vine feminity, is popular with French
soldiers. and in one Of their camps
here Siamese troops have learned to
play 1t.
The Siamese. by the way, are very
likely looking little soldiers and they
have fine reputation as fighters
They are active both physically and
mentally. and when they arrived in
the land of the tricolor they were
crazy for sports. Right here was
where the United States stepped IN
teaching them croquet and other
games. The French camp huts of the
Y. NJ. c. A. are called Foyers des Sold
ats. literally. soldiers homes. They
are like American huts, and the secre-
taries and athletic directors are usually
supplied by one OF our welfare agen-
cies. This was the case in the French
camp when the Siamese arrived and
the athletic director at once fell in
with their desire for sports. He in
troduced them to several games but
croquet suited them best Particularly
attractive did they find the feature OF
being permitted to knock your or
ponents ball as far as possible and
consequently the wear and tear on the
camps equipment has been consider
able.
