When reported on the Cassard
after my fourteen days leave, I was
detailed with a detachment Of the
legion to 60 TO the Flanders front. I
changed into the regular uniform Of

badge-a seven-flamed grenade.
We travelled from Brest by rail. In

Havre and st. Pol. and finally arriving
at Bergues. From Bergues we made
the trip to Dixmude by truck-a dis
tance Of about twenty miles. We car.
ried no rations with Us, but at certain
places along the line the train stopped,
and we got out to eat our meals. At
every railroad station they have booths
or counters, and French girls work day
and night feeding the Poilus. It was q
wonderful sight to see these girls. and
1t made you feel COED to think you
were going to fight for them.
It was not only what they did. but
the way they did n, and Il Ia at things

say, we got to like ii after while.
Then, too, they do not do any haZing
in the French navy, and this surprised
US. We had expected to &C through
the mill just as we did when we Joined
the American service, but nobody slung
a hand at US. On the contrary, every
garby aboard was kind and decent and
extremely courteous, and the fact that
we were from the States counted lot
with them. They used to brag about

not SO honored.
But this kindness we might have ex-
pected. It Is just like Frenchmen In
any walk Of life. With hardly an ex-
ception, / have never met one OF this
nationality who was not anxious to
help you In every way he could; ex-

1t was that almost the whole world

because the French love almost the
whole world, and show 1t. And think
that is the reason, too.
About the only way you can describe
the Poilus, on land or sea, is that they
are gentle. That is, you always think
that word when you see one and talk
to him-unless you happen to see him
within bayonet distance Of Fritz.
The French sailors sleep between
decks In hunks, instead of hammocks,
and e mad not slept In bunk since
my Southerndown days. II was pretty
hard on me. So / got hold Of some

my spare time taught the others how
to make them, and pretty soon every
body was doing 1t.
When taught the sailors to make
hammocks, I figured, Of course, that
they would use them as we did-that
is, sleep In them. They were greatly
pleased at first, but after they had
tried the stunt of getting In and stay

we did not like about this trip was
that there were not enough stations
along that line. There Ia a tip that
the French engineers will not take, I
am afraid.
There Is another thing about the
French women that have noticed. and
that is this: There are pretty girls in
every country under the sun, but the
plain girls in France are prettier than
the plain ones In other countries. They
might not show 1t in photographs, but
in action there is something about
them that you cannot explain. l have
never seen an ugly French girl who
was not easy to look at.
We finally got to Dixmude, after
having spent about eighteen hours on
the way. On our arrival one company
