enlistments still are received. The
quota of one-year enlistment men
permitted in the Army, he says. is

the total strength allowed by law
that is. 100000. Recruiting will pro-

Triumph Over Difficulties.


'It was due to the excellence of the
management of Gen. Harries that
this improvised base proved satisfac-
tory for the enormous needs of this
mass of men which arrived SO anX-
ious to press onward to the front 10
test the weight of their power in
battle. His tenacity of purpose and
spirit of decision alone permitted him
to triumph over the resultant diff

One of the impressive things about
the A. E. F. was the great camera

American soldier and the little
French children. Hardly had the first

who ran in and out of the ranks as
the troops marched by waving and
crying their welcome to the Yanks.
From that moment on the Ameri-
can soldier found his amusement with
the little new-found friends. while
the little Frenchies found the Ameri-
can camps the very best place to
while away their time.
1t was a matter of constant COM
ment among the visitors and news
paper people who followed the A. T..
F. that they had never imagined that
soldiers were so fond of children.
Many writers tried to find an ex-
planation for the so-called phen ONE
non, but to those who are really ac-
quainted with the life and habits of
the American soldier the wonderful
companionship they formed with the
French children was not unusual or
CA u
The soldier, living a most whole
some existence. next to nature and
spending practically his whole time
out of doors. invariably becomes a
natural and unaffected man. Unlike e
the city man. who finds relaxation
from the stress and strain of his hur-
ried existence in more exciting pas
times, the soldier feels no need for
the stimulant of great excitement
and, consequently, enjoys the simplest
amuSementS.
The American soldier is no excep-
ton. Living simple life. his mind is
always receptive to the thoughts and
feeling of the little people whom he
consciously or unconsciously feels
that he is protecting. The grown
ups can take care of themselves, but
the American Army will defend the
children. whether they be French or
Belgian or our own.
Those skeptics who saw in the
Ianks' friendship with the Frenchies
only the lack of more agreeable COM
panionship no doubt were surprised
to learn that hundreds of American
ofhcers personally adopted French or
phans and brought them back to this
country to be reared as their own
