A BELGIAN BOY IS
MASCOT OF MARINES
WOUNDED IN BATTLE
Wears Uniform of Marines
Two Wound and Three
Service Stripes
WALKS WITH A LIMP
Father and Mother Dead, Is Adopted
by 18th Regiment and Will
Come to America

PARIS, March ia youngster of
lO created sensation in the reading
room of the Knights of Columbus
Club in Paris recently by appearing
before the assembled Yankee soldiers
CARRIED in the uniform of an American
marine, with two wound stripes and
three service stripes on his sleeves.
More than year ago some of the
marines were stationed in a little
French village when little Belgian
boy came to their camp He was re-
celved with open arms, and when he
told them the story of how his mother
and father had passed away, they adj
opted him as the mascot of the re-
giment, Jean Moyeaux has been with
the Marines every moment since that
day when the little refugee, hungry
and lonesome reached the camp.
During two engagements the little
Belgian boy was wounded, and one of
his little legs is crippled He walks
with limp, but he always hopes that
he will sometime be able to walk Is
straight. as his friend the Corporal.
The Corporal adopted the youngster,
| and soon he was loved by every mem
Der of the 18th Regiment. He is a
clever youngster and in the past year
has learned much of the ways of the
! ways of the American.
A Knights of Columbus secretary
gave the little soldier some candy,
and piled the refugee with questions.
"Me like Americana. Spose Corp
oral say, me go to American with
| la regiment. Me no talk beacoup An
glais. Me. understand beacoup."
From head to foot the young Bel
gian was CARRIED in the uniform of the
Marines. On his arm he carried
little rain coat, and he proudly dis
played the numerals which showed
that he was a member Of the gallant
18th.
One of the young men at the
Knights of Columbus club asked him
why he did not have sergeant's
stripes. Corporal he make me one
uniform on for parade. When
me promenade me wear sergeant's
suit. Then me boss Corporal. My

poral he ladder to me. Will go to
American with Marines"
There were tears in the eyes of
many of the soldier boys who were
gathered at the Knights of Columbus
club. They had been through much,
but this little figure with the two
wound stripes and the warped limb
gave them just another incident of
the horrors of the German attacks
in France and Belgium.
Little Jean Moyeaux will go to the
United States with his Corporal and

Little Jean Moyeaux will go to the
regiment would fight for the Belgium
boy who has learned to love- and who
has learned to know the American
soldier as he really is.

Why American Boys are
Marrying French Girls

An American Navy nurse, who ad-
mits she's slightly jealous, furnishes
perhaps the first really thorough
going and expert opinion on the
Franco-American marriage situation
in France. After year and half
in France this American girl finds
French femininity delightful" with
a knowledge of captivating masculine
hearts that would put most American
girls completely out of the running.
She suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of pre-
senting President Wilson with pc
tition to send all American troops
home at once, Gin the name of Am
erican debutantes." Her letter, writ

pears in the New York Evening Sun:
You seem rather incredulous about
so many of our American boys hav-

they should not. The Frenchwoman
is delightful creature. Even we
American and English nurses can see
that, much as we would like al
times to see otherwise, for we're still

rather hard with US to see some OF

S POOR ARGUMENT
Know Now Why Taft Was Not

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13-The

lowing statement from its Washing

than his predecessor in Office, and
there is no doubt that he is doing the
Wilson cause a far greater service
by remaining at home than he could

conference in Paris. Travelling from

understand the art of Irritation better
when they are born than the average
American woman understands it af-
ter her fourth divorce. They know
how to dress, too, to bring out the
very littlest as well as the greatest
of their charms. And they know how
to talk to our soldiers with their eyes
and hands and shoulders better than
we Americans can talk to them in
their own United States. They speak
a universal language-the language
of appellant they never fail to
make themselves understood.
Besides all this more or less sup
CRITICAL charm, the Frenchwoman is
truly woman. They make wonder
full wives and mothers. I've been here
long enough to see that. They make
even better wives and mothers than
they make sweethearts. They're Won
derful housekeepers, altho, except
among the upper classes they do run
to too much furniture in their parlors
and too much garlic in their kitchen
to suit, my plain tastes. But how they
do understand food-conservation and
economy. ME-. Hoover could learn
quite few lessons from them if he
cared to study them.
And on top of all this femininity,
they are fighters. They are the brav-

have ever known, and the most Gin

thing about it. If you separated a
Frenchwoman from her love of
France and her desire to serve
France, you would have to tear her
limb from limb and pick her to pieces

subconsciously into everything she
hos done since she has been a French
woman. You know something OF
what they've done since the summer
of 1914 from your reading of the
papers and magazines, but that full
history can never be written.
So, why shouldn't our boys love
them, and marry them? Anyway

they're doing it. Can't you do some
thing to persuade the Government t.
have them all brought home? We'r'
thinking about presenting petition
