JEAN AND PIERRE WRITE OF
 THE AMERICANS

The following extracts from the compositions of French school children authentic and were sent to the Independent (New York; by Capt David T. Mason of the Tenth engineers. The children were asked by their school master to write compositions on this subject: American soldiers have been in village for time You have observed them. Describe of them. What interests you in their work and in their habits? Write your personal impressions
 They are all fine men, tall large shoul- ders. know one; a big fellow He has a scar on his right cheek, which was made by a horsekick. He has rosy face, long hair, carefully arranged. His feet are small for his size He has sweet tooth. He is gay He is good. He eats chocolates and sweets.
 The Americans are polite When they shake hands they bow down their head little Before entering a house they take off their hats, and wait til lthey are told sit down.
 They have good discipline; no fault IS left unpunished. They are more daring than we; they do not fear expense
 JEAN LABERIOTE. know one more particularly. He is of ordinary size He has fine face, round cheeks, blue eyes. He likes to laugh at others He is intelligent He has got the bad habit of smoking and chewing tobacco. He IS found of sweets He bathes very of ten.
 JEAN CATS The Americans are generally very clean and very polite. They also like sweets They are always eating chocolates and sweets. There are some who like raw eggs mixed with chocolate and milk, or with beer. They do not cut their bread as we do They put it on the table and cut it as with a saw Every morning they wash thor oughly. They wash their teeth after all meals They have leather gloves to work They smoke and like alcohol.
 The Americans came to France not for their own interest, but in order to help us. And so we have affection for them
 FRANCIS LOUPIEN. The one that know is tall well built He is very amiable and kind to children When ever he meets one on the road he will stop his horses and take him along. He is a horse driver When it is raining he does not care, he will then whistle with all his might
 ERNESTINE CABANNES. They are clean and polite. They often give us good examples and good lessons. They have everything necessary. horse wagons, motor cars, trucks, bicycles motor cycles and some kind of motor with sort of 'bathtub.
 ANDRE PEDEMONOU. 1 have observed them we'll Most of them are close shaved They are almost all tall and large fellows. They have quick ,. eyes. They are polite, but some of them are great drinkers The Americans are very smart. They do almost everything with machines and horses They are up to date in everything.
 ANDRE PROUSTEY. saw the American soldiers at their meals. It is very funny. They stand in long line and laugh aloud When their meal is over they start singing.
 PIERRE LOUPIEN. The work of the Americans is certain ly curious one. l saw them rise huge logs with large pliers, as easily as they would have moved a straw. Their furnaces for their kitchens are half in the ground, in order not to waste any heat What struck me especially about the American soldiers is their cleanliness All of them are tall, healthy and strong, owing to their hygiene. Their teeth are very white An other thing admired also is their polteness. France has the fame of being the most po- lite nation in the world We have often heard and read about the French courtesy. Is France going to lose her rank among the we'll bred nationsp
 Long live the United States of America!
