Ht was explained that the French papers, acting on @ brief despatch from New York, had christened the olive-drab soldiers “Teddies.” “From New York?” he asked. “Well, that's new to me. But so far! as I am concerned, the French can cali us anything they like, as long as they let us go to the front for them.” While their General was being en- tertained at the Chamber of Com- merce banquet, the soldiers were sit- tng down to a repast in Neullly Bar- racks the menu of which follow: French peas, lettuce salad, chee: dessert and coffee. “Who said this country was starv- ing?" the men chanted as they waded into the feast. ‘This afternoon they were «ranted leave to stroll about the city and ev- erywhere one beheld the men in olive-drab arm in arm with the men in horizon blue.

How- ever, in order to attain the experi- enced class of men desired preferenc: will be given to men over thirty years of age. It will be difficult men under that age to qualify, exc in rare instances where the applicant has pre-eminent qualifications or un- usual military experience.
