PAGE FOUR . By C. A. Randou. (United Press correspondent.) Paris. (By Mail.)—That Ameri- can soldiers are popular in F‘ll'ance directly inversely to their number, 4is being proved by the attitude of the French public toward the rapidly decreasing American soldiers. "Not that the doughboys ever were un- popular, but during the period when the greatest number of “Yanks” were in France, the keen edge of the tra- ditional French cordiality was con- siderably dulled. Two years ago every American in France was ac- claimed as a hero. The ‘“‘crusaders’” from that little known far away land ‘‘Amerique’*. 'were hailed as soldiers had never before been greeted. It would be stretching things to say that the American soldiers still in France are equally as popular as those first fortunate arrivals. On the other hand, the doughboys are daily gaining greater favor with the French. This reaction follows a period when Americans were just a bit grating to the French. During the autumn of 1918, and after ‘the signing of the “armistice, when many Americans went out of their way to {impress upon the French populace the part that-the A. E. F. had played in the war, the popularity of the American soldier suffered a' decided slump. Gradually this is working back. . The reception given the American battalion to parade Paris on July 4, 1917 was a memor- able one, ‘but judging from the re- viving popularity of the* doughboys, the farewell which the last battalion will receive will outstrip even that other historical event. Present indications are that some of the last members of the A. E. F. to arrive in France before the armis- tice will go home the best-informed -about places of historical importance in Paris. The early arrivals served during a period when everyhody had real work to do and could not be -bothered with sightseers. Now, how- [ ever, when many of the veteran or- ganizations have gone home, Paris is a wide-open leave area and the doughboys are reaping the benefit of 1 the elaborate sightseeing bureaus. Every day large parties of soldiers on leave are taken on personally con- ducted tours to the Louvre, to Ver- saitles, and other points of interest. Though the Americans are practi- cally all bound for home, there are a number of Parisian establishments that are branching out along Ameri- can lines. The war has prevented business from expanding since 1914, and now that peace has brought a somewhat normal condition, there is a rush to establish new, up-to-date places. Americans in Paris have complained about.the service of the average Parisian barber. Apparent- ly several of the barbers have taken these complaints to heart, for during the past week, at least two big down- town barbershops have enlarged their quarters and one has put in Ameri- ean . chafrs. ' The ‘comforts of an Anterican barbershop with its re- fining: chairs, réal hot water, boot- blacks and well-informed talkative barbers are almost unknown in Europe. Since 1867 an attemdant at the Chateau of Francis 1.. Saint Ger- main-en Laye, where the Austrians were given their treaty terms has waited one hour each evening for the Emperor Napoleon 111. During the summer months the Chateau, which since 1867 has been used as a museum, is open to the public until five o’clock each after- noon and during the winter months until four o’clock. Until recently an attendant always remained on duty for exactly one hour after the muse- um was officially closed for the day. Tnvestigation brought out the fol- lowing strange reason. Shortly after the museum was opened in 1867, Na- poleon 111 wished to make a visit there after the public had departed. He found the Chateau deserted and could ot get in. The Emperor gave an order that in the future an at- tendant must always remain on duty for one hour extra, in order to be on hand should His Majesty. happen along. The reason for the strange order was soon forgotten, but until this spring the rule has been scrupu- lously observed. ROBERT DEPUY RECOVERING. Robert DePuy, the ls-yenr old Be- midfi l1ad who has confessed to hav- ing robbed the Durand store and postoffice at Puposky Wednesday morning, and who was shot in the right shoulder in an attempt to evade arrest, is recovering, according to announcement made at St. Anthony’s hospital this- morning. Whether he will be prosecuted by state or fed- eral authorities has not been decided, according to Graham M ’rorrance. county attorney.
