A Soldier is Quoted. I asked a highly educated soldier belonging to one of the regiments which are said to have distinguished themselves by bad ‘“morale” under fire, what was in the story. He re- plied: “We are blamed for what has hap- pened in the war since wars began; we ran, but we only did what the best soldiers in the world have done and would have done again under similar circumstances. “The war broke out suddenly. Al- most suddenly we were hustled out of offices, from behind counters, from desks and studies into uniforms and rushed into trains. Our trains went directly upon the battlefield and we were detrained actually under heavy fire. We did not have time to as- semblage, to get our bearings, any- thing. We got off the train to be shot down. Somebody ran. Some- body else followed. Two more fol- lowed the first and the others seeing some running away, followed suit. It | § is a psychological fact that this 1s|§ what happens always under these circumstances. Should Have Been Halted. “We should have been halted a mile to the rear, assembled and marched, in orderly fashion, into the | % firing line. In that way we would have had time to look around, to see where we were, to catch courage, one | & from another. Wake the boldest man from heavy sleep, in the dead of night, and let him have a great dan- ger to face. viding he is not too stupid to have any sensations at all. get himself together, then let him face the danger and he will meet it |H as a brave man should. “So it should have been with us.|§ It was bad leadership to precipitate | men who had never been under fire, men fresh fresh from the arms of wife or sweetheart or mother, into action in such sudden fashion. Men who have once faced bullets can be handled that way but not raw re- cruits.’ The stories that soldiers from the south of France lack courage is no doubt a slander. General Joffre comes from Rivesaltes, in the Pyrenees; General Gallieni from Saint-Beat, al- so in these mountains; General Foch from the village of Valentine, like- wise of the niountains between France and Spain; while General Castelnau calls Garidech his home, this little town being on the plains about Tou- louse. These .soldiers have already won places in history by their iron cour- age; they are the men in whose hands the fate of France rests; they are the conmmanders-in-chief of all the French and thus far the whole world agrees they have accomplished won- ders. Yes, they are from the Midi. The southern Frenchman does not lack courage. Nor does he lack pa- triotism. He is different, yes, from his northern French brother, but he is all there just the same. He talks differently, eats differently, thinks differently, dresses differently, lives| differently, so why should he not fight differently and—in this great war— die differently?

As in other places, Grand Rapids bar owners have declared that they are to engage in other business. No demand for services of the Indian officers was made, and every saloon was closed as soon as the word of Judge Stanton’s decision was passed along the line. And the Agents Smile, Indian agents smile when asked about the report that fifteen agents were ready to invade and break up the contents of all Grand Rapids. sa- loons.
