NEW SOLDIERS GOOD FIGHTERS AGAINST BOGHE So Says United Press Staff Cor- respondent after Interview- ing Late Arrivals on Battle Front By FRANK J. TAYLOR (United Press Staff Correspondent) * WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS IN ALSACE-LORRAIN July 20.— (By Mail.)—By the dim light of the | moon, you could barely see the stream of doughboys pouring out of the shel- , tering woods and scraping over the dusty French road toward the trenches. They said very little, and trudged along with that measured swinging tread which enables En- rope’s veterans to carry their heavy packs almost unheard-of distances The stream seemed unending as the , United Press car picked its way from squad to squad without using lights, without falling in ditches, and with- , out touching a single doughboy. Finally one section of the human stream halted in a ruined village. press car was stopped, too, for be- yond this point everything except am- munition and food goes on foc The officers gave the order to rest, and a lot of packs dropped to the ground, followed by doughboys. Their rifles they never dropped. In the moonlight you could see the ground covered with resting soldiers, most!y sitting. There was a clicking of rifles , and sounds of tightening packs, and bits of gossip which could come on! from a group heading for its night in the trenches. OUR CITIZEN SOLDIERS These were Uncle Sam’s citizen- soldiers, new men just over from “the States,” as they have a habit of call- ing home when over here. A few questions revealed. the fact that a year ago these boys were clerks, car- penters, students and whatnot, civ ilian clothes. Six months ago they were in a training camp. Now they were soldiers in France, and tonight they were making their genuine de- but into the war for civilization. There was no wild enthusiasm nor any evidence of fear or even appre- hension among these citizen-soldiers as they rested before making the last lap into the trenches. There was a matter-of-fact sort of confidence pre- valent, and every man was making the most of the breathing spell to see that he was 100 per cent ready for battle. Interest and talk cen- tered around the clicking rifles and other equipment. “This old gun’s sure some work from now gi on,” said one with the rifle fondly. “It’s the best of us.

Discipline is fine, even if it is hard. A major tells how his chauffeur be- came a little “fresh” one day. Know- ing the doughboy was a good chap, the major took him aside and talked to him instead of “bawling him out” before the crowd. The doughboy apologized. “I’m sorry, Major,” he said. “You see, I own a couple of business blocks back in New York and have more than a million dollars in my own name, and ’s a little hard to remember my place in the ry But I'll do it, somehow.” You think you in an interna- tional army when you visit some of the new American units now in the lines.

The line runs up and down steep mountainsides and across pretty valleys. It is beautiful coun- try, and a fine place to be initiated to the front, for the doughboy must be on the alert all the time. In this rea there is no shell-swept, well- wired No Man’s land across which Germans cannot come without being ily detected. Woods and hills and wild country make the place one in which only strict attention to business will keep Germans out.
