Most of Battalion Speak French.

But, most interesting of all. practi-
cally all of the old separate battalion
can speak French. At least they can
do more than simply smatter and say
Farley vous." Many OF them speak
the language quite fuently and ii
will be something of q novelty when
they return to their old peace-time
pursuits in Washington to hear them
inject French phrase or two every
now and then in the course of their
general remarks.
II seems that they did not find 1t
50 difficult picking UP the French
language Besides their contact with
the civilian population. they were as
ISOLATED day in and day out, practi-
eally during their entire stay of eight
months in France, with French SOL
6iers. In fact. their regiment. along
with the 371st, another colored out
1t, was completely detached from the
SAD Z. S. Division and assigned to the
18th French Division almost imme-
diately upon their arrival in France
April II, 1918.
Their guns and other equipment
and practically their entire outfit were
those of the French, and they were not
again Americanized IN these respects
at least until about one month before
sailing for home
For the French officers and privates
the men of the old separate battalion
have the fondest feelings and highest
admiration. The former were stern
and severe teachers, but that was their
business and the war was to be won.
and the former Washington guards
men went at their task with an ear
nestncss and determination that after
ward showed in their conduct and
achievements.
The French army rations, the men
say, were not so bountifuI and of such
variety as those OF the American
Army hfIf no one of them seems IN
show the slightest effects of under
feeding, although there were days
when they were out in the front line
and having their hands full battling
.he Hun that meals became less reg
gIar. There were times when the
baCtalion went whole days without
t1od, and on one occasion, when their
trench kitchen was blown to pieces by
. Hun shell, they went hungry nearly
two days

Property of Entire Battalion.

Kaiser was originally the property
of Sergt. White, but she now is the
property of the entire battalion and
she plays no favorites. In return
she is cherished by every man. in
GLIDING the white officers, in the
whole outfit. Her principal fighting
in the trenches consisted of cleaning
the trench of rats, and, according to
the men, there seemed to be millions
of them, many of which were larger

and heavier than "Kaiser" herself:
! She did not at all mind the noise OF
the shooting and cannonading. but
had a hard time accustomtng herself
! to gas mask.
Possibly one Of the chief reasons for
the eagernsss of these men to get
back in Washington in time for the
welcome home parade Is to march
| proudly up Pennsylvania avenue with
| little Kaiser" and all her decorations
trotting along at their head.
Aside from the official citation and
the regimental decoration at Brest
the 372d Is justly proud of the follow
ing letter to their colonel from Gen.
Goybet. commanding the 18th French
Division:
Your troops have been admirable
in their attack. You must be proud
of the courage of your officers and
men. and I consider it an honor to
have them under my command.

ment won the admiration of the cd

you. during these hard days. the divi-
sion was at all times in advance of

Complimented Before Sailing.
Gen. Goybet's farewell address to
the 372d upon its leavetaking to re-
join the American high command pre-
paratory to embarking for America
was most complimentary and will be
long remembered by the men. Eacf,
man has since been presented with a
copy Of his address. After commend
ing the 372d for the splendid part it
took in the fighting and the manner
in which it conducted itself through
out, he said, in conclusion: Dear
friends from America, I bow before
your banners. After you have crossed

they have taken so prominent a part

BUILDERS TRYING
TOSTABILIZET TRADE

An effort TO stsndsrdIze wages and
building materials TO stabilize the
building industry is today being made
by the Builders and Manufacturers
Exchange, who will meet in the near
future in the board room Of the Dis
trict Building TO formulate a definite
policy. All others interested will be
invited.
The basic principles OF their plan
are public announcement Of a year
long scale Of wages for labor and
announcement by contractors and
manufacturers OF the minimum cost
Of materials and of construction. Co
operation of the officials Of several
building trades unions has been
pledged, ii is said.
The building fdm OF shannon &
LUchs took the lead in this matter
some time ago, when plans not only
were announced but work actually
started on a number of houses TO
furnish buffer employment" during
the period OF reconstruction. This
firm reached an agreement with labor
to maintain a minimum wage scale
and labor agreed TO give a full days
work for their wages.
The full endorsement OF the District
Commissioners was given to this
move in a letter to Edward II. MeAly,
secretary OF the exchange, yesterday.

SENATOR WALSH URGES
LEAGUE AS NECESSARY

BELIEF that the American people
should make concessions in regard to
the League OF Nations so as to pre-
vent future wars was expressed by
Senator Walsh Of Montana, at a meet
ing Of the College Equal Suffrage
League, 1926 Rhode Island avenue
northwest, last night.
This covenant represents not only
1O0,O00,OO0 Americans. but hundreds
Of millions Of people living in other
nations" said Senator Walsh" There
was considerable objection to the
adoption of the Constitution. One OF
the objectors was Benjamin Franklin.
But Franklin signed the Constitution
for the common good despite the fact
that he did not favor some Of the
clauses. The same situation applies
10 the League Of Nations"
Senator Walsh also declared lEat
the adoption of the League Of Nations
would mean the extension Of the
Monroe doctrine 10 the whole world.

RUBINSTEIN CLUB
PLEASES AUDIENCE

The Rubinstein Club under the di-
rection of Claude Robson, with Am
parito Farrar, soprano. as soloist,
was heard in concert at Masonic Au-
ditorium last evening by an appre-
ciative audience. The club sang with
excellent attack and in clear-cut
phrasing.
The "Andalusian Love Song Of
Reinhold Herman was the most at
mospheric selection OF the program,
while the Indian Summer" dedi-
Gated to the club by Harry Patterson
Hopkins gave the best dynamic ef-
feet.
This chorus of women does not
emphasize the rich harmonies that
have been so strong a musical fac
tor in their work, presenting their
choruses more as a ,massed choral
body than a thing of finely detailed
shade and harmony.
In AmparitO Farrar, a young singer
was heard who is rather of the pop
ular type than the finished recital ar
tist. Miss Farrsr has charm, and
was at her best in the two Spanish
songs, OF Alvarez and the glib and
fluent "Clavelitos" of Valverde.
She is, however. still an amateur,
singing with too much sameness and
varying at times from pitch. She
gave a Massenet air from 'Manon"
and group of songs in English. She
was warmly received and included in
her encores the French marching
song, "Quand Madelon," that she has
sung for and, as she put it, with the
American and French soldiers in
France. Miss Farrar also save as
encores, Roses In Picardy" and
Dear Old Pal o. Mine"
Mrs. Howard Blandy played the ac-
compartments for chorus and colos;
and solo quartet, composed Of Miss
Elsie Small, Miss Mary NJ. Thompson,

ANSELL LCALLSARNY
COURT REACTIONARY

! Vigorous criticism of the army
court-martiaI system was voiced at a
meeting OF the National Popular Gov
eminent League yesterday by Lieut..
| Col 6. 7. Ansell, whose efforts against
the system have caused a bitter con-
troversy between Congress and Sec
retary Baker.
"Thc system is absolutely reac-
| tionary, and If il had been designed
to lead to injustice ii could not have
been better done and still retain the
forms and appearance OF justice" de-
cIared Colonel Ansell.
The fault is the fault of the sys-
tenn and of no particular person. The
gravest results have been logical re-
suits. =
"our coUrt-martiaI system is one or
the most reactionary systems. The
question today is whether we shall
supcrsede IL by a liberal system. one
that is controlled by law and not by
man:
why should the law be so jealous
as TO protect a man when on trial be-
fore the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict and so quick to deny him his
ordinary safeguards when tried be-
fore a set of officers Of the army
Colonel Ansell then told of several
instances in which courts-martial had
inflicted severe penalties upon SOL
diers when there was question as to
whether the rights of the accused had
been property protected and where
the penalties imposed had been Un-
usually severe.
Senator Norris Of Nebraska and
Senator Owen Of Oklahoma were
guests at the speakers table, and
frequently applauded the statements
of Colonel Ansell.

"A man is a little soul
carrying around a corpse" "
said Marcus Aurelius, the
great Roman Emperor and
ruler Of men.
The soul being the mind,
the corpse the body that
moves while the soul is in it,
and inert after the soul de-
parts.
Quite a forceful definition
of what is a MAN. Why
didn't he give US an equally
clear definition of the
SOUL?
A store is also a soul, this
time carrying about huge
quantities Of merchandise
and equipment.
The soul is the service
rendered, the thing that
makes the establishment
vital to the community, and
bankrupt once it has de-
parted utterly.
And, the soul of a store,
like that of a man, is either
big or little-aceordingly.
