compromising the French peasants
whose lands were necessarily over
run by our troops, has applied the

lean military automobile tore through
French village on its way to an
American camp Unfortunately a
pig belonging to an old peasant wom-
an strayed into the path of the car
and was killed. The old lady was
heartbroken.
"a few days later letter came for
her enclosing check for a hundred
francs and saying how sorry the writ
er was for the death of the pig. The
signature was that Of General Per-
