Our particular fort was located nearly q
mile high In the mountains. Consequently,
snow blankets it all Winter long. But In Sum-
mer a furnace Of heat half cremates the gar
rison. To enter then Is like entering q house
OF the dead. The sentinel stands immobile
upon the bastion under the paraly1ng sun:
the flag hangs limp as a galows corpse; every
one is burned out completely.
But Summer or Winter, the sentinels must
watch, eternally. For even the most torpid
and hateful security, the Legion has learned,
can be gained only through unending vigilance.
One careless moment-and a Chlur comes
wtggling through the darkness into the post.
There is a strangled gasp from the sentry. He
is found with his throat cut and his rife
gone. If there is an attack in force, it like
wise comes without warning, and always in the
dark. The men in my post never knew when
they might again be assailed-tonight, perhaps,
or not for month. They could only wait,
always apprehensive.
Sometimes Legionnaire Is shot or captured
outside the fort. And he usually comes back,
thrown over the wall, in pieces: or II not his
entire body certainly his bloody butchered head.

- HE French Foreign Legion! What q
curious fascination this army has for
nearly every race of people in the
Western World. Boys run away from
home in Sweden and in Turkey in
Canada and in Argentina, and in
hn the countries in between, to join the Foreign
Legion. And they've been running away to
join it for 100 years. There has certainly
been enough written and said to stop them.
Germany, which supplies over two-thirds Of
the recuits, has circulated the most fearsome
and hostile stories and pamphlets about the
Legion, in an effort to discourage volunteers
from crossing the frontier into France. Few
of the innumerable books about the Legion,
unless they are fiction, have much to say about
it. The French themselves give their Legion
naire step-sons scant consideration
But despite all this, perhaps because Of
1t, the Legion has grown steadily in prestige.
And never before in its history, except for the
1914-18 war years, has 1t ever been SO
popular large as today At the moment
nearly $4,000 foreigners, in North Africa and
Indo-China, are soldering under the banners
of France. The explanation for this popularity
is easily found. The Legion offers adventure
if you're young. companionship If you're lonely
and lost, and refuge If you want to escape
from the past. The monetary reward Is very.
very small-exactly 81 a month.
Recruits, especially the young ones. having
accepted the Legion's offer, nearly always
disappointed. AS evidence found the local
military Jail here in idi-bel-Abbes the Legion's
headquarters and training station, full Of re-
cruits who had tried to desert. This attempt
is usually made during the first two weeks
after their arrival in Africa. Fully three
quarters Of the new men try it. They come to
Algeria expecting glamour; when the newness
wears of and they learn there are to be no
Arab hours, no desert romance amid the
palms, for long time yet, but only drill drill,
drill, they decide to quit. That's not 50 easy
They don't know the language or the country.
They have no money The neighborhood teens
with agents and police. The bleu has about as
much chance Of disappearing as a runaway
elephant The story is commonplace it's
not even called desertion just absence without
permission" The poor recruit Is caught,
marched back and given eight days in the box.
THIS escape complex Is only temporary
phase Records show that more than half
the Legionnaires re-enlist. Every other man in
uniform one sees in Bel-Abbes Is serving his
second or third stretch. So the bleus not only
get used to the regime. They learn to like it.
Attempts to desert at the end of two weeks
re-enlistment at the end of five years! How
does one explain this face-about?
To find the explanation have lived in the

Of the fort radiant with soft warm light A

and view the imprisoning mountains aspiring
with vast sweeps of snow and shadow toward

As the heat of the day still chung to the
barren courtyard the Legionnaires had shed
most Of their clothes. One of them possessed
a monograph, war-torn and weary, and this,
with few mistreated records, was carried by
its intoxicated owner to the roof, to entertain

wearing hobnailed boots, some barefoot some
with great mustaches dripping pinard, some
with their muscled backs Haunting tattooed
dragons and flags and bathing girls. Some
danced alone, a clumsy dance de ventre to the
beating Of fists against tin soup plates. Every
one staggered and laughed and sang. More
wine was brought up, more wine, more wine.

with To-day sentence into the prison cell.
This cell was used irregularly For days it
would remain empty, and then the lieutenant,
struck with a touch Of the cafard, would sud-
denly fling into it the first soldier he suspected
of some mild betise that would have passed
unnoticed the day before. Nobody minded.
The prisoners sang or slept. 1t really didn't
matter much, living in block house. whether
you were in cell or out. You got the same
food-only no pinard-and you didn't have to
stand guard.
The lieutenant once the atmosphere had
cleared, found time to be most hospitable
and pleasant person He had served five years
as an officer in the Legion, and though he was
sometimes a severe and cratic disciplinarian.
in his heart he loved his Legionnaires as his
own sons. He knew their vagaries, but he also
knew they could fight and would fight to the
last breath for the Legion, and die without a
whimper, should he SO command. He had
seen them do just this and was eager to talk
to us about their exploits as long as we would
listen
All the forts in this section of the Atlas SO

The construction of each one had meant a
