At ADVENTURERS 1N FOREIGN LEGION Sall-Stylod Amerioans Are Cam- paigning With French Army Parls, Mareh 27.—Approximately 40 self-styled Americans are now serving in the famous Forelgn Le. slon of the French army, scattered in Algeria, Morocco, Syria and Ton- kin, But how many of that two- score are really citizens of the Unit. ed 'Btates the French war depart. mant is unable to say. All it knows is that within the past three years 40, men, describing themselves as Americans, have ated, The reason for lack of accurate data on these self-exiled or self. styled Americans is that the French Army requirés absolutely no identity papers of applicants for service in Its renowned expeditionary corps. A Gorman who has never been farther west than Frankfurt-on-the-Main may present himself befors a ve- cruiting officer and join the legion under the name of Otto Schmidt, American, born in Hoboken. Simi- larly a Pole may join up as Stan- \slas Skryzskinskl, American, born and bred in Cleveland. Provided the applicant meets the physical re- quirements, which are fairly stiff, the French recruiting authorities make no investigation. ‘“No ques- tions asked” is the legion's rule.

From the he- vglnning of its history of nearly 100 years, the leglon has normally been a good 40 or 50 per cent German In makeup, Yet never, according to the French army chiefs, has that high percentage made the slightest difference in the leglon's loyalty to either the white flag of ‘,oulu Phil- ippe or the tricolor wunder which I'rance’s armies have mapched dur- ing the reign of Napoleon III and the present republican regime. The glowing citations which the polygot warrlors amassed during the late war.are ample proof that-their fam. ous song, “Having no fatherland, France is our mother” is no mere poetical imagery, The legion’s strength is now close to 20,000 men. _In times of peace its effective are normally not em- ployed in France proper, but in the colonies. The regulations provide that the leglonnaire, who enlists for a five year first term of service, shall be rotated from Africa to the Far East and back again. For the le- glon the French high command tries to live up to the old recruit- ing promise of “Join the army and see the world,” The discipline,<as far as regula- tlons go, is exactly the same as in the regular French forces. In prac- tice the presence of a large number of German non-commissioned offi- cers tends fo make it more strict, However, foreign officers who can show good service records may he admitted as legion second lieuten- ants after a six months' training period. Opportunity for, attendance at the French officers' training schools is held out to all ranks of leglonnaires who show the neces- sary aptitude, Among the officers now serving with the legion three are known to be bona fide Americans who joined the force during the late war.

Banderson, chalrman of the White Star Line, writing n that company's magazine, Mr. Sanderson says an extensive |thiFd-claas business has been a po- tent factor in the development of fleets of the principal companles, culminating in super-liners of today Wwith a standard of comfort for all classes unequalled in any other trade in the world, “But,”” he continues, “the restrie. tlon on the emigration movement has so reduced the volume of travel that, coupled with high building and operating costs, the construction of furthér steamships of monster type in the near future {s rendered prob- lematic. Steamship companies may ba expected to restriot their build- ing program to vessels of moder- ate slze and speed, with a less ornate decoration of public rooms, and, while maintaining the present stand. ard of comfort for first-class passen- gers, to institute improvements in the amenities for second and third- class,” Special attention will be given to steamers of cabin and third-class type, and the needs of third-class passengers will be atudiously and in- creasingly considered in order to develop a new branch of travel which will offset, to some extent, the restriction of emigrant traffic.
