"Just a word to tell you that we are

and soon began to breathe the air of
a foreign country. After a short respite
we set our feet on solid earth there was
a feeling of relief. because we had gone
through much possible danger and came
out of it all unscathed.
France is delightful. The people are
the sunniest, most cheerful, kindest and
most considerate race it has ever been
my experience to encounter. Julius
Caesar spent many years in Gaul, and
he tells us in his, annals that the Gauls
we now call them French-were po-
lite, gracious and brave soldiers. The
old Roman was a wise observer. and it
follows that if the French had fine quail

ton was just beginning to crawl. you
can readily understand how pleasant
they are now. 1 like the soldiers of
France. They appeal to me, because
they stopped the Germans at the Marine
and have driven them back: yet these
French soldiers are as modest as con-
vent girls and look upon the great
things that they have done as mere
duty.

She is the mother of

This old lady gave three sons to France

twice wounded. and his mother revels
