SOCIETY WOMEN TE FRENCHMAN'S DIARY " BEFORE THE FIGHT Troops Consder Attack As Al in Day’s Work French Front, May 28.—Two Pages from the diary of a French soldier who was a member of an infantry unit during the attack on the German lines in Champagne, which began on April 16 this year, will serve to dem- onstrate the fecling of confidence of the French troops in theilr powar to beat the Germans. The extract reads: “4:45 a. m.—A pale light whitens slightly the sky heavy with clouds. Since yesterday evening at six o'clock || cannon have thundered uninterrupt- edly, the sound resembling the roll- ing of a giant drum. All night wind and rain. A shower has just stopped. The communication trench is full of water and we sink into mud up to the ankles. ““5:30 &. m.—At the colonel’s post. He chats with his adjutant and two captains, cheerfu], smiling young men already wearing their steel helmets, their belts and equipment, with iron- shod walking sticke In their hands, ready to start. Outside the day breaks until little by littlq the wan light spreads over the grey plain. The two captains leave to join their com- panies after taking leave of the col- onel, who shakes hands with them, re- marking “All right! Go on! I will Join you out there.” “6:45 a. m.—In the jumping-oft parallel. In the growing light the men are stopping in the mud at the bottom of the trench, or leaning with their backs against the sides. Some are sleeping with their helmets drawn over their faces. Others ca¥nly smoke | cigarettes. 'Many of them are young- sters and their bronzed faces look | quite boyish while they sleep. Two of them, in order to be warmer, cuddle up together. “5:55 a. m.—Everybody is afoot, rifles in hands, with bayonets fixed. Buckles are tightened and haversacks adjusted. “Far. away, the sky clears and orange rays plerce the clouds, which have turned to pearl-grey. In spite of the incessant roar of the cannon, a nightingale is singing just in front. “The plain in front of us gradually loses itsel? in the mist out of which flash from all points fugitive flames. caused by the bursting of shells. “6:00 a. m.—“Fordward!” Noise- lessly without a whisper, the men clamber out of the trench onto the plain. The first out assist their com- rades by giving them their rifie butts to hold to. Then at a quick pace they advance with their bayonets pointed toward the boche trenches. There is no shouting, not-even of words of command. In small groups widely separated they go on without a shade of hesitation. Each man knows where he is to go to and makes directly for his object. “The machine-guns crackle, bullets whistle by, shells burst around with a terrible tearing sound ,emitting black smoke from which screeching frag- ments of steel hurtle tlitough the air. But the waves of men.always advance not stopping even when they come across batches of barbed wire entan- glements which have not been brokeri up by the French artillery. These they go round and take up their alignment on the other side. Then they disappear from view. *6:30 a. m.—The first wounded men beslnw-.mvomdutthnmum some prisoners, gaunt and covered with mud. “In the meantjme the position has .| deen ;won." A §CH FOOD CONSERVATION Touring Long Island is the Long Island food reserve train, the purpose of which is spreading. the ‘gospel o( food conservation and giving lessons in the art of canning to crowds of housewives: The train is conducted by yell known society women, two of whom, Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden and Mrs., Willlam Laimbeer, are shown :t the right in the ucompn.nyin‘ pic- ure. Among those whu visited the train was Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island railroad. ‘*“The women of Long Island are surely going to do their share 'in the work of conserv- ing the nation’s food supply,”’ said Mr. Peters- “This is shown by the keen interest that nearly 2,000 women have taken in.the lectures given by the battalion experts. Women of the large estates as well as farmers’ wives have visited the train.” SOLID GOLD SCARF PINS SET WITH GENUINE Blue White DIAMOND '4.98 REED Jewelry Co. 164 MAIN STREET mm.uvellnohomemw lymmridolkbyufin' R 1 Ointment?
