division turned the German offensive

Thierry; General Cthen Major) Leslie
McNair, afterward head of the artil-
lery depot G 5, and Colonel Porter, of
the medical corps. We knew nothing
about bi!leting. The sum total of my
knowledge was a hazy idea that i'll
meant putting the men in spare beds
in a town and that it was prohibited
by the constitution in the United
States. " a&
Toward evening we arrived at the
little French village of Gondecourt. |
The streets We're decorated with flow |
ers and groups of little French chill |
dren ran to and fro shouting, 'Vive les
Americaines.' We were met by
French officers and taken to the inn,
charming little brown stone build
ing. where French officers, soldiers
and civilians mingled without distinc-
ton. There the mayor of the town
and the town major who is appoint |
ed in all zones of the army, as the /
representative of the military, came to
call on us, and we started TO get down
to business. A most difficult thing for
our men to realize was the various
formalities through which one must
go in working with the French. Many |
times real trouble was caused because |
the Americans did not understands
what part in French life "po-
Gtesse" plays. No conversation on
military matters is carried on by the
French in the way we would. You
do not go straight to the point. Each |
participant first expresses himself onl
the virtues and great deeds of the
other and after this the sordid matter
of business in hand is taken up Wei
were poorly equipped for this. Only
McNair and / spoke French at all, |
and ours was weird and awful to de-
gree. We had both been taught byl
Americans after the best approved
United States method.
The French town major with whom
we dwelt was an old fellow, a veteran
of the war of 1870 He had an enor-
nous white mustache. He "snorted
like a buffalo" and the one word that
always understood was ''parfait-
ment" which he constantly used.
The training area was composed of
a number of towns with from $50 to
500 civilian population. We ran from
village to village in automobiles, sur
prised and appalled, by the number of
men that the French military were
able to put in each.

MARINE CORPS TEAM
WINS CALDWELL CUP


Santa Re, Aug. 20.-In the national
rifle match at Caldwell, N. j., the
United States marine corps walked
off with the marine, cup from SID
competitors representing eixty-three
etams. including the New Mexico
team. One of the reasons given for
the marine victory in winning first,
sixth and tenth places was that the
marines shot late in the day, after
variable winds, rain and clouds had
given place to sunshine. The 500
yard stage was shot in a driving rain
storm by most of the teams including
the New Mexico team. The poor
showing made by the team of the
American EXpeditionary Forces was
explained by the fact that the team
lad just landed in the United States
from Europe and had not vet become
re-acclimated. The New Mexico team
also found trouble to acclimate them
selves and the members suffered ter
ribly the first few days from mosqui-
tees the rain mud and unsanitary
condition of the camp.

duty we wished. We both replied,
