Our Boys Making
Friends in France
BY Francis Rogers
of the Nigilantes.

Our soldiers were welcome in
France last July when they first
landed, bringing with them the
tangible evidence OF Americas mil
itary participation i'm the war, and
they certainly have not yet worn out
their welcome. In the towns and
villages where they spent the winter
they made a good impression. Some
of them misbehaVed, TO be sure. but
most OF them succeeded in winning
the good will and respect, often the
affection of the natives. TO whom
they brought not only a certain
amount of commercial prosperity
after three years of ever-increasing
poverty. but also the moral support
Of their goodwill and friendliness.
Last March an American soldier
walking through the streets of Toul.
noticed an old woman and a little
boy struggling TO push a loaded
wheelbarrow. She was too old and
he too young for the task The
soldier stepped up and trundled the
barrow 10 its destination The old
woman thanked him fervently.
But that is what we Americans
are here for; we are come TO help
France bear her burden"
Thank God, monsieur. that YOU
are here, for 1 know not what we
should do without you"
At Easter I was passing through
a village where the Rainbow di-
vision had until recently been quar-
tered. Several of the natives in

and the water and play with the
children. Evenings they would
come and sit with me and my wife
around the lamp. We could not say
much TO each other because thew
speak no French and 1 speak no
English. but we managed to get
along. Since they went away they
have sent me some postcards. They
don't write anything on them. but
get their meaning. Please say YOU
think they are coming back soon"
Our soldiers get along famouslv

sees them walking arm in arm or
