ner of the main building which has been given the name of the Allied Chapel" and is crowned with the flags of the allies.
 In France the men do not take their religion very seriously but the women make up in earnestness for the in- difference of the men. It seems to be the general belief that the women should look after the religious need of the whole family.
 Faith of French Women
 AS an instance of the implicit faith of the French women in their beliefs I will site little experience had in Bordeaux. While wandering around the little shops on the Rue St. Gather inc I dropped into small lace shop and was greeted with some saluta, tion in English and soon found that 'in Chicago and could talk very good English, so we soon became fast friends, as the French always have time to talk, especially to an Ameri- can soldier.
 They mentioned their daughter Jeanne several times and of coures I was interested Immediately. Jeanne, soon made her appearance and after a greeting in French she asked me if I would not like to go to the Cathedral with her while she said her prayers. On the way I noticed o uadaIl;o, eusnopdad o1 O oboip with the picture of Frenchman soi I asked her who the picture repre- sented. She said 1t was lieutenant she was going to marry in two weeks and he was the one she was going to pray for, as he was still on the line. After reaching the cathedral she left me to wander around looking at the pictures and statues while she went to the altar in the center of the church. After a few minutes came up to where she was kneeling and found her with her arms around an- other very beautiful girl who was a widow.
 In few minutes she joined me and I asked her who her friend was. She said this girl was the widow of a captain who had been killed about six months previously and that she came to the Cathedral every day to pray that her son would be as great a man as his father and be of greater service to France.
 left Bordeaux that evening for Paris and did not return for over d month, but as I was walking up from the Midi Station to the American headquarters I met Jeanne again and after the formal greetings I asked her about the beautiful widow. She said the widow was doing nicely and the baby boy was growing more like his father every day. | asked her where she was going and she said she had been married two weeks and was on her way to the Cathedral on the same mission as the beautiful widow. I though to myself at the time that if the American people took their various religions as seri- ously as these two girls did and had the same implicit faith combined with our advanced educational ad-  vantages we would have far more h. terest taken in our churches than we have in the present day. These two girls show to true type, the ex- pression of the Spirit of France.
 Ride in Box Cars
 In regard to the Welfare Organiza- tions in the A. E. F.. will first give a few of my experiences during my years stay in the A. E. F. When we first landed at La Havre We had heard a great deal about the Welfare organizations in France and so l inl' mediately hunted up the Y. NJ. c. A and found where there had been one but was temporarily closed We loaded into the famous 40 hommes ct 8 Chaveaux" the next day and rode all night, all the next day and up till 10 o'clock the second night in box cars so cramped that we could not even lay down to sleep. Being al sergeant, I was told to look after the provisions in the car which consist ed of a case of corn Willie" and al dozen loaves of bread, so 1 perched on the case of provisions and sat there for 29 hours.
