FRENCH COOKS ARE
 LEARNING ID MAKE
 AMERICAN PIES
Famous Georgia Culinary Artist Teaching French men Secrets of Turning Out Kind Mother
 Used to Make

With the American Army in France, october 19.-(By the Associated Press French cooks in the employ of the Amer
 can Red Cross are learning from Thomas Kane a Georgia culinary artist, how to make American pies, cakes and cookies for the American troops. His skill in the making of pastry has made famous the American cooking wherever he has practiced his art along the network of railways over which the American troops are transported from the seaports to the front. This is a reversal of the
 idea that the Americans ought to take lessons in cooking from the French.
 Pastry of any kind, good or bad, IS a luxury in the army; ginger cookies like mother used to make apple pies and cakes that melted in the mouth are spoken of with reverence among the doughboys. It is Kanes task to teach the French cooks how to supply these luxuries
 To each of the American Red Cross canteens, where the American soldiers resort for food. rest and entertainment, Kane goes for one month to spread gas tronomical joy with lavish hand He does not leave until the French civilian cook, employed at the Red Cross, has learned the culinary road to the Amer ican soldiers heart. Everywhere he goes he leaves a wake of tiekled palates.
 At one canteen the workers almost wept when his time came to move on to the next. T don't know what we will do when he leaves,' sighed one enthusiastic worker. He has just spoiled the appetites of our boys and now I am afraid we won't be able to please them with plain, ordinary cooking
 Kane was once chef on a trans atlantic steamer. He had settled in Ant werp to live, but was driven out by the Germans and came to France and volunteered his services with the Red Cross to help de wah."

NEGRO SOLDIERS
 SOURCE OF MUCH
 INTEREST 10 FRENCH
Fearless When White Off cers Are Near-As Stren- uOus Fighters in Line as
 Among Themselves

With the American Troops in France September -(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-American negro soldiers in France are a source of never ending interest and amusement to the French, who do not tire of watching and listening they wield picks and shovels and chant as they work in a wierd minor key.
 They have shown a fearlessness amounting almost to utter indifference if their white officers are with them "a carelessness where personal danger is involved that is at once amazing and sometimes annoying to the officers, and a desire to fight that amounts to a mania.
 The American negro soldier, in the words of a colonel who commands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their char acteristics, is very close to a fatalist when it comes to fear. Repeatedly his own troops bandy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows:
 Don't worry about that shell, Ras- tus. It aint got your number on it."
 And the shell screams by, the ne- groes who believe it had not their HufnDer SldHQ luly around ana expose themselves a s they should not The colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are flying about, and seeks cover.
 The first regiment which went into action, long ago now, went in primarily because it threatened to decimate itself in inactivity. Razors and knives came more and more freely into play, and the men demanded so frequently and so in- sistenly of their officers why they might not get some action that it was finally arranged for them. They proved as strenuous fighters in the line as they had behind it.
 It goes without saying that the negro soldier is as boastful as any in a sim liar profession. The marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chateau Thierry fight when a delega- tion from a negro regiment in line in quiet sector waited on the command ing officer and asked if they too might not get in on the fun"
 Let us go in, colonel" they said "We are the only real fighters. The ma rines are all right of course, but just let us have whack at the boche. Then the marines won't be in it. And as for the rest. Lord they don't count at all'

 The Apperson brothers were born and reared at Maplesville near Selma, and their parents now reside there The letter from Charles L. Apperson follows:
 Dear Brother: So much has been written in the past regarding the epoch making events now taking place over here, and so very much more has been written regarding conjecture of just what may happen after the battle clouds have drifted away and the world l is once more the happy dwelling place 1 of yore; so much of all this have you undoubtedly seen in movies, newspa- pers and periodicals that I hesitate in lbringing to your attention anything like ! intricate detail concerning the many in l teresting sights and happenings that I l have seen and experienced while on my mission in war-torn France. However, i 1 thought you might like to read a few first impressions from one who has been across and has met the enemy, defeated him, and has remained long enough in France to somewhat study the ways and customs of those glorious lpeople.
 When I write glorious people I mean exactly that, because one cannot fail of rapturously loving and admir- | ing this brave nation that in spite of flour years of awful havoc, of death and desolation, still despite all that smiles amidst her tears long enough to welcome the men whom she believes ha me is not intended to be an eulogy of the French. l shall leave to far more able minds than mine that task, not an easy one, because hardly enough may 1 be said regarding them, but I am com Ipelled to write as I feel.
 FIRST GLIMPSE OF EUROPE 1 The first glimpse of Europe that ,broke upon my vision was not what one might call impressive. A small city. idingy and soiled with the ravages of time few muddy streets which in turn were ill-lit, hardly serve to create an atmosphere of congeniality. Of course we were uproariously greeted Men land women of every class seemed bound to surpass one another in an attempt 1 to show their appreciation of the com ing of Le bateau Amerieaine' They l threw tid-bits of all varieties from kisses to apples and our boys in turn
 
 received my first glance at wooden shoes.
 None of us were visibly impressed, but slowly the truth dawned upon us; the light of realization came simmer ing down that these poverty stricken people. this populace, undoubtedly typi- cal of all France, were cheering us. smiling and trying to show their love for America; and then as we thought of what lay behind it all of the father less children, the widows. the mothers bereaved of their frst-born, the brides to-be that would never see their beloved again. an overwhelming wave of pity swept us and we felt that we could not help them enough, nor too quickly join the brave armies and navies of our allies.
