More and more frequent on. the road we passed athe Breen-gray motor trucks With boys from home: in-charge, khaki-clad and helmeted with a tin helmet different from the French, flatter, more like a soup plate than the casque of a me- dieval knight, in armor, such as the Poilu wears. Old. stagers at the front tell one that yeu may know the dis- cipline of an ermy from the way it Aeeps its place on the road. Do the vehicles straggle into the middle of the roadway, thus blocking other traflic? Then the discipline is bad and. organization. will generally be awry. Do the men on the -box smartly respond to the passing of.an officer? “Then, sure enough, the re- lation between. officers and enlisted 7 men is cordial and satisfactory. An Orderly Transport Train. * It was fine to see cach motor lorry hug. the road’s extreme right edge and every column of these, United States transport wagons neatly. and, regularly spaced,. while ,there never was any. shirking, never an intentional and timely: glance the other way. “Old Glory” on our car, the United States¥ “ v’tform within, always elicited. a {Jt salute from the enlisted man in t.«rge of every. party, from the others @ friendly hand wave and a: shouted message.

On arrival his chief, more skilled in the. interpretation of service regula- tions, yet wise in) the wisdom of many years’ service with Uncle Sam, was broad enough to adopt the read- ing: of the regulation so drastically suppressed. and at the same. time to commend the boy for .his pluck and Wigor.

Secretary Baker seenred to have won laurels on his tour in France, More than one man mentioned-his visit as a real visit from) way back home, and an incident that- made home nearer. One man sent a:message of thanks to the New York Sun for cigarettes. Sev- eral sent their messages to relatives whd ‘friends. Very brave and uncom- plaining were these men who had that morn stared ~leath out of, counte- nance. Like other seasoned troops of other armies, they had no illusions 9s to the glory or the pageantry of war; but they were men, too, with no illu- sions as-to the end. they were pursuing or the price they were prepared to pay for it.

He went to a chemist, bought a vial of prussic acid, and drank.it, after making his will. But he didn’t die, and when he went back to the chemst, he found that the acid was “ersatz (substitute) material.” : Then he bought a rope, tied it around his neck—but it broke. .
