American soldier is simply fine. That

81 had occasion to make several Of
fetal reports one of them with regard
to the attitude of the men, and l OBJ
served the American soldiers for that
particular reason under all conditions
and at all times and found him hard
to beat in spirit and manhood. He has
no superior as a fighting man. His
conduct as a whole is very wonderful,
and conditions existing in the A. e. F.
were very good. There was less drink
ing and less drunkenness in the Amer
lean army than there had ever before
been in any army in the history of
the world.
THE difference in fighting qualities
between the American soldiers and
theallied is that it is very difficult to
restrain the American when he knows
where the enemy Is. If he knows that
the enemy is just over there he goes
after him!
When we went to France the Brit

position. After studying tactics and
results General Pershing decided that
the war had to be one of movement
That was the difference. The British
and French had come to the place
where they felt if they held the line
they were doing we'll We came ir
and held the lines, but went farthl
and pushed ahead. I do not mean tc
say that America won the war but
there is no doubt that America with 8

have won; without us the allies were
facing defeat.

One of Richmond's interesting mill
tary figures, Major Paul Comstock,
arrived at his home in Reeveston last
evening after an absence of nine
months in France, Luxembourg, and
Germany. Major Comstock is one of
the FIVE officers of that rank from
Richmond.
Major Comstock arrived at Brest,
France, on the twenty-irst day OF last
September and was put on staff duty
in the inspection department of the
eighty-fourth division. When this d.
vision was dissolved he was sent to
the inspector-generars department Of
general headquarters, and while sta
toned there went up to the extreme
left of the western front where he
saw active service for two days before
the armistice was signed. Following
the signing of the armistice Major
Comstock took up work in the St.
Mihiel salient with the twenty eighth
division, serving here until the mid
die Of February; then he served as
assistant inspector-general of the sec
ond army, which insignia he wears
With the dissolution Of the second
army on April Is, he became associa.
ted with the eightieth division with
which division he sailed for the States
on May II, debarking from Brest.
When the armistice was signed
said Major Comstock this morning
the 18th division simply squatted on
the front to await developments OF
peace. The second army acted as q
reserve for the third army which was
the army of occupation proper. We
had 81 days Of rain here. remember
and conditions were not very pleasant

German dugouts, shacks and in the
ruins Of the villages, but they were

selves thew did not complain even as

put in command OF the German army
he issued the order that at all times
when facing the Americans his men
were to stand prepared to withdraw
for they never knew what we might
do.
1.-The enemy did not understand our
rifle fire for one thing, and its use at
scissors and Chateau-T hierry came
to them as a distinct shock.
1.-THE Germans, too, were sick of war
and it was not hard to make them
surrender when they got into tight
place.
81 observed that most German pris-
oners were pretty willing to stay in
France where they were sure of be-
ing fed." said Major Comstock. but
added that he had noted in Germany
no cases of apparent starvation, and
that while the people were being fed
on regular rations given out at regu-
lar times, they received enough and
were not suffering of hunger any
more than isolated cases such as ex-
| ist in America.
Fuel among the poorer classes
seemed scarce he said. That, too
is true in France. Fuel is very short
there
LAS the American army passed over
the Rhine the German children, as
the French children had done before
them, fell in love with the American
soldier. 1t may be that as form oil
propaganda the older people came tc
treat the Yanks very we'll, it may be
the mere fact of being thrown with
them while billeting them in theil
homes, but at any rate the rules
against determination were not as
rigidly observed after a time"
Major Comstock was the first Rich
mond man to enlist for the world war
having gone into the reserves in Feb
ruary 1917. He will be honorably
discharged in few days.

Sir.-I listened 70 a very interesting

the efficacy OF prayer. One man main
tanned that there never was any d.

prayed talked to blank stone wall,
and that no answer ever came back,
save that OF echo or retroaction.
The other hold that tho Great Spirit
that presides over the destinics OF the
universe does. in some way. listen to
the individual prayers OF His creatures.
and that He sometimes answers them.
