Lieut.. Constant Soulier, the young
French "ace." who has brought down
fifteen enemy planes since entering
the service OF France as an aviator.
despite his age OF but nineteen years.
will soon startle Washington with a
series of flights and air stunts in his
fighting monoplane, which Is now on
its way to this country
Lieutenant Soulier, who arrived in
the United States from France some
days ago, yesterday reached Washing
ton from New York. where he has
been attending TO matters concerning
the shipment OF his machine. Here he
is the guest OF the French mission.
Modest And UnaAEumIng.
A modest, unassuming boy is Lieu

well. he is too retiring to discuss his
air feats, and the exploits which won
for him the string OF medals on his

1t. with a twinkle in his eye:
"Zen l will talk and say, oh, so
much"
Lieutenant Souller IS one OF only
dozen men now in the service OF
Franco who are plying monoplanes.
The nonoplane IS much more difficult
TO control than the biplane, which
possesses greater stability. On the
other hand. the monoplane is fleeter,
more agile. and more fitted for quick,
decisive fighting, and it Is these fac
tors which have won for Lieutenant
Soulier his many victories over his
German adversaries. II is in one OF
the monoplanes which he pilots Mt the
front that the young ace will give his
demonstrations over this city.

The pro-Lenroot estimate OF at least

The final result may depend entirely

Americans Win Two Regulations

AIiCI iCdltS WIN W. ASSPuto'AOtAo
Often enough to be effective,
but not often enough, fortunate
ly, to get on the nerves of the
American soldiers in France,
they have been reminded that
they were there in a represen-
tative as we'll as a military capa-
city, and that by their behavior
toward their foreign enemies,
the people of the United States
would be judged. 1t is a cause
of sincerest rejoicing that by u
unanimous report the members
of our Expeditionary Forces, in
all ranks, from the commanding
General to the privates have
shown a kindness and courte-
sy toward the civilian popula-
ton among whom they have
lived that gave them a reputa-
ton in its way not less valuable
either to themselves, or to those
of US who remained at home
than the other reputation they
earned as fighting men unafraid
of comparison with the best in
any army.
Even the Germans admit their
mastery of the arts of war-as
the Germans naturally would,
having been beaten by them in
several of the wars hardest bat
ties. But these soldiers have
done more than fight. In great
numbers there are accommodating
stories about the American sol
diers. y 8
An American Colonel, having
noticed by the roadside a French
re~partriate who had been sup,
piled from some source with
white bread, alighted from his
car and soon discovered thai
many others like him were also
in possession of the same sort
of food. When the Frenchmar
was asked whence the breaC
came, he pointed at an American
military policeman standing
near, and the latter, when ques
toned in turn, admitted that h,
