Stories that the French merchant
charges the American soldier in
France more than he does the ma
tive, were branded untrue by Cap

and six months at another, before
the war, in France and l know
French people and their ways" DR..
Walsh said. Soldiers were dis
satisfied with the prices they had
to pay and / don't blame them. The
costs were high. But when a SOL
der paid $3.50 for q dozen Of eggs,
the Frenchman who came along
right after him and bought another
dozen, paid the same price. The
French shopkeeper did not prot
iteer on the soldier. The French
paid the same prices we did.
Gloves that 1 could buy before
when l was in France for go cents
brought 81 over the counter during
the war"
Dr. Walsh y e t into service Aug.
