which they have instead of our regi-

very effective. They have no drums
These quaint squat, jovial. dark hair
ed fellows were billoted in the villages
all around our area.
The billeting party after working
very hard and accomplishing very
little, divided the area up as the
French suggested. In advance Of the
remainder of oar troops the battalion
of the Sixteenth infantry, which pa
raded in Paris on the Fourth of July,
arrived. We were all down at the
train to meet them. as was a battalion
of the Chasseurs Alpins. They came
in the ordinary day coaches used in
France. ! remember hearing an Of
ficer say that there were hard on the
men. 1t y as the last time that | ever
saw our troops travel in anything but
boXcars, and was done. l think. as a
special compliment By the French
government.
A couple of days afterward came
the 14th of July. The French had
parade, and our troops took part in
it. The French troops came first past
the reviewing officers, who were both
French and American. The infantry
of each battalion passed first, bayo-
nets glittering. lines smartly dressed;
following them in turn the machine
gun companies, or "jackass batteries"
as they were called by our men, the
mules finely curry combed and the
harness shining. Their bands, with
the brass trumpets, played snappily.
Altogether they gave an appearance
of confident efficiency. Then came
our troops--in column of squads.
What held good in Paris still held
good-our splendidly trained little
army did not dare trust itself to take
up platoon front.

CHAPTER III, Continued. J


These small French villages in the
north of France resemble nothing that
We have in our country. They are
charming and picturesque but various
features are lacking which to the we'll
ordered Saxon mind cause pain. To
begin with, there is no system of
plumbing. The village gets all it's wa
ter supply from the pubic fountains.
This naturally makes a bath an al
most unknown luxury. Many times l
have been asked by the French peas
ants why | wanted a bath, and should
it be winter was | not afraid | would
be taken sick if | took one Around
these public fountains the village life
centers There the chattering groups
of women and girls are always congre-
eating. There the gossip of the coun-
tryside originates and runs its course
There is rarely electric light in the
small towns, and enormous manure
piles are in front of each house and
in the street. The houses themselves
are combination affair, barn and
house under the same roof. The other
features that are always present are
the church and the cafe. Even in the
smallest town there are generally
charming chapels. The cafes are
where the opinions of the French ma
ton are formed.
The peasants who live in these viii
lagos have an immemorial custom be-
hind them in most of their actions.
They have the careful attitude of an
old people, very difficult for our young
to understand. Each stray bit of
wood, each cd piece of iron, is saved
and laid aside for future use. No
great wasteful fires roar on the
hearth, but rather a few fagots care
fully measured TO do just what is in
tended for them.
Polite, But UnbeIieving.
The families have lived IN the same
spot. Their roots are very firmly in
the ground. Individually they are
curious combination of simplicity and
shreWdness. One old woman with
whom my brother Archie was blleted
in the town of Bovoil!es became quite
a friend of ours We talked together
in the evening sitting by the great
fireplace, in which a little bit of fire
would be burning. She had never in
her life been further than six or
eight miles from the village of b.
voilles. To her Paris was unreal as
Colchis or Babylon to us She, in COM
mon with her country folk, looked
forward to the arrival of the Ameri-
can army much the same way we
would look forward to the arrival of
the Hottentots. In fact. when she
heard we were coming to the village
she at first decided to run away To
her the United States was a wilderness
inhabited by Indians and cowboys.
We told her about New York City and
Chicago. We told her that New York
was larger thar Paris ana that neither
of us had ever shot bear there and
no Indians tomahawked people on the

But it is the place where you hunt
that great animal, is it not?"
Something that struck me forcibly
was the total lack of rowing desire
among the peasants. Where they had
been born there they desired to live
and die. This you would see in the
poillu in the trenches, whose ideas al
ways was to return again to the house
where he was born.
There is also very real democracy
in the French army, This should be
borne in mind by all those who go
about talking of the military aristoc-
racy which would be built up by uni
versal service in this country. In
France | have seen the sons of the
most prominent families, the descend
ants of the old "haute noblesse," as
privates or commissioned officers,
| have also seen in the little French
villages a high officer of the French

The ChaSscurs Alpins.
The French sent to the Grondecourt
area a division of the "Chasseurs AL
pins" to help train us. The chasseurs
are a separate unit from the French
infantry and have their own particu-
lar customs. To begin with, their mil
itary organization is Slightly different,
in that they do not have regiments
and the battalion forms the unit
Their uniforms are dark blue with
silver buttons, and they do not wear
the ordinary French can, but have
dark blue cloth verst, or tam-o'-
shanter, with an Alpine horn en-
broidered in silver as an insignia. The
corps is an old one and has many ira
ditions. Their pride is to consider
themselves as quite apart from the
infantry; indeed, they feel highly in
suited if you confuse the two. al
though to all intentS and purnOSeS
their work is identical. They have
songs of their own, some of them very
uncomplimentary to the infantry, and
highly seasoned. according to our
American ideas. They have a custom
when marching on parade of keeping
a step about double the time of the

Portales, n. NJ, Aug 21,-Frank
Smith, who lives near Floyd, n. NJ,
eighteen miles west of Portales, acct
dentally shot and killed his I1-year-
old son last Tuesday morning. Mr..
Smith was playfully shooting at a dog
in the yard, not knowing that his son
was anywhere near but thinks the
boy must have been lying under a
tree nearby and jumped up at the first
shot, and received the second shot
right through the heart, dying in
stantly.
The parents and only brother are
heartbroken over the accident.
The body was brought to the T.. J.
Nicer undertaking parlors, in this city,
where the body was prepared for
burial and remained there until
Wednesday afternoon. The body was
taken back to Floyd and was buried

In setting about organizing the nu-

Raczkiewicz had the advantage of
knowing all the elements of the popu-
lation. Pacification was made easier
by the first move, which was to or
ganiZe advisory councils of White
Russians, Jews and Po'es. AS the Po-
fish army was over on the Beresina
river, the occupation was practically
complete and a civil government was
under way all within three days.

Whatever feeling might have exist

more than counterba 'ance in the

fact that they came before the crops

suffered another starving winter on
account of the red army acquisitions.

YET UNDECIDED
ON SIZE OF PAY
Matter Of Increase in Salaries for
Municipal Employees Not Up
at Regular Meeting.

The city commission was expect
ed to reach a decision in regard
TO the increase Of pay for the po-
lice and fire departments and GER
tain other city employees yesterday
afternoon, but the meeting was ad-
journed without the matter being
brought up.
In a statement made yesterday
morning, Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver
intimated that all who are con-
cerned in the increase will. start
ing the first Of October, receive a
substantial raise in their pay
check. the commission having so
decided.
Concerning the purchase of an
aerial fire truck, the mayor stated
that while it was being considered,
he was unable to say anything
definite on it. Finance question
seems to be the main drawback.
y The aerial fire truck was not
mentioned at the meeting.
