Had not Company F been called 0 service Adamson would have re- pined in France, but he does not jnk the American ambulance drivers 11 be needed much longer, as the r is nearing an end. Speaking of p experiences, Lieutenant Adamson id: “I have seen lots of suffering. ave carried scores of soldiers, both ench and German, in my ambu- ice. I saw them with arms and fs shot off or faces badly shattered. goon became hardened to the sight blood. I had one French soldier ed to death in my ambulance. pey are a most courageous lot of lows and seldom complain, no mat- how intense the pain. The punded Germans are given just as 0d treatment as the French. I was frying a wounded German and a punded French soldier from the nches one night. The Frenchman d just enough tobacco for two cigar- es and he handed the German the uch for the first cigarette. This il- pirates the feeling that exists be- een wounded enemies. “The German prisoners are allowed Wwork, although it is not compul- Y. Those that work receive five ts a day, a little better food and igar. They start at 7:30 a. m. and rk until 4:30 p. m. The French diers over 40 years of age work m 5 a. m. until 6 p. m. The Ger- ns are kept busy breaking rock to up holes in roads made by Ger- n shells. I soon mastered enough the French langnage to converse h the soldiers. I was in Lorraine a while and the men I met could speak a word of English. I had only explanation vouchsated was that these officers were laboring under “ph al disabilities.” The whole camp was thunderstruck Ty the news, but the men of the ninth were more than that. They were in despair. To fight with- | out Colonel Conley seemed even | worse than remaining listlessly at Camp Whitman, and a more than ominous murmur was heard in the ranks. The men are closely attached to their officers, who have worked hard in the service. With congress clamoring for infnr-[ mation as to the treatment received by the National Guard and press dis- patches coming in from various sources relating the trials to which the n en are being subjected en route and of the lack of sufficient equipment, Major General T ker H. Bliss, assi ant chief of staff of the army, was sent to the border to make a thorough in- spectian of all conditions, The nights were cold and we wore overcoats with raincoats over them. One Frenchman who had lost his | overcoat saw a German officer re- turning to the German lines. Running, he overtook the officer and pulled off the coat, but forgot to captre the German. The German shot at him twice, one bullet passing through his arm. “I think the war will be over In three months. The French army is just beginning to fight. It has a large force that is ready to get into the fight at a moment’s notice. The Rus- slans also have 350,000 men who have not been put into battle. The Ger- mans do not wear helmets any more. I do not know the reason for this, un- 1ess helmets are to expensive to make. Most of the heavy artillery firing 1s done about 10 o’clock at night. Thee French usually start the 'curtain fire’ about 9 o’clock, but real firing does not get under way until about 10. There were times when you could scarcely hear a shot and all of a sud- den the battle grounds would ring from explosions. flwocuaw-yu with- emf vbg xzfl xzfifi No Sign of War in Pari “About three weeks of my time was spent in Paris. There is no evidence there that France is engaged in war. All theaters and cafes are open and by the civilian population has been extended to the army. Wherever there is uncultivated land in the prox- imity of garrisons or camps of troops, the auxiliaries and territorials not continually on other service, are de- tailed for several hours’ work each day in market gardening. The pro- ducts are either to be sold for the combined profit of the soldiers work- ing the land and the owners or con- sumed by the troops. Civilians will not be allowed to draw any profit whatever from this exploitation. Among the civilian groups will be organized similar to the workingmen's the war, to work all lands abandoned by their proprietors in the neighbor- hood of towns. These will be co- operative and produce as well as the expense divided equally among the participants.

Oranges, of which this coun- try is a large producer, fetched unpre. cedented prices last season. Tha cultivator is not slow to observe these things and is growing much more gar- den stuff than ever before. In par- ticular, the very high price of po- tatoes last winter has encouraged him to devote more land to growing this indispensable vegetable. There | is, in fact, nothing that he can grow that does not pay him better than in ordinary times. The army is a mighty purchaser of camels and needs vast quantities of fodder, which it buys from the Egyptian farmer. The army has resuscitated the moribund salt industry at Damietta. It has creat- ed a timber industry which never ex- isted before in Egypt. The country is not rich In timber, but large quantities are needed, and army buyers have looked around till they found sup- plies in various parts of the country. . The army is also a large employer of labor. It is calculatéd that the military authorities have some 18 000 native laborers on their payroll, and fthese men besides being fed, lodged and clothed, earn higher wages than they did in peace time when o years of French in school, but B8 nof nelpime much nfmy tall | et I8 S mees B EomAt s B¢ Frenchmen.
