What French Children
Think of American
Soldiers
Proverbs, the world over, bear witness
to the folk-belief that children are keen
observers if character, that they have an
uncanny way of seeing what’s behind
the camouflage. Evidently with this in
mind a soldier while in the southwestern
xj France requested a village schoolmaster
t with whom he was acquainted to ask his
5 pupils to write, without preparation, com
■- positions upon American soldiers as they
d, knew them. It will be noted that the
Impoliteness, the cleanliness, the cheerful
« I ness, and the “sweet tooth" of our boys
g are among the chief things that struck |
B the kiddies, a quaint touch of the coming
g woman appearing in Mathilde's epistle.
The authenticity of the following cx
tracts is vouched for by The Independent,
in whise pages they appear.
a They arc all line men, tall, large
s shoulders. I know one. a big fellow. He
g has a scar on his right cheek, which was
9 was made by a horsekick. He has a rosy
| face, long hair, carefully arranged. His
I feet are small for his size. He has a
B sweet tooth. He is gay. Ho is good. He
K eats chocolate and sweets. There are
8 some who going on an errand near their
!camp I met him sharing his choolate with
his comrades Next Sunday I was playing
w7 at spinning-top with my comrades. IU
"" was looking at us. My small brother had
no spinning-top. He gave him two cents
Ito buy one
The Americans are polite When they
shake hands, they bow clown their head
a little. Before entering a house they
| take off their hats, and wait till they
I are tol(L“sit down."
Ii They nave good discipline; no fault is
11 left unpunished. They are more daring
I than we are; they do not fear expense.
JEAN LAEERIOTE.
I know one more particularly. Ho is
« of ordinary size Ho has a tin*' taco.
3* round checks, blue eyes. He likes to
3 laugh at others. He is intelligent. He
S has got the bad habit of smoking and
chewing tobacco. He is fend of sweets.
m He bathes very often.
The Americans have been very good
g to France., to come to help her to fight
S the Germans. JEAN GAITS.
H The Americans are generally very clean
. and very polite. They also like sweets,
ja ‘ They are always eating chocolate and
|■ * ,'ets There are some who like raw
ja i eggs mixed with chocolate and milk, or
E| with beer. They do not cut their bread
E| h‘. we do Tbev put it on the table and
cut. it as with a saw. Every morning
g they wash thoroughly. They wash their
teeth after all meals. They have leather
gloVos to work. They smoko and like
g alcohol.
E The Americans came to France not for
B their own interest, but in order to help us.
And so we have affection for them. They
•w have at the front one. million men who will
fl inflict groat casualties on the Boches;
fl meanwhile more yet come to join them
by the sides of the Englisch and French.
FRANCIS LUl’l-’IEN.
| The one that I know is tall, well built.
B He is very amiable and kind to children.
E Whenever ho meets one on the road, he
S will stop his horses and take him along.
S He is a horse-driver When it is raining
J he dors not care, he will then whistle
& with all his might.
ERNESTINE CABAN NES.

g none. I saw them nut up their camp
p when they first came here; some were pit

A FEW WORDS
ABOUT FRANCE
I "We don't know where we are going
but we are on "the way." This is how
| some of us fee! in Camp Hancock. In a
few weeks or Months some of us will be
on the way to France. France Is about
2,000 miles from here. Not until we. are
on the transport shall we know what it
} means to travel across the Atlantic oc.ea.n.
I If the ship makes 12 knots an hour we
J shall reach France in 12 days.
When we get on' land we may he sent
• tn the base of the American Army which
I is near Tool. Toul is a small French
f city of twelve thousand people. It is near
g that part of the battle line which has been
| called the St. .Mihiel salient. The zAmer-
I Scan Army won a big victory here six
| weeks ago.
| In front of our army is the city of
| Me’z This is a strong German fortres: .
| Some of the hardest fighting of the war
E will take place here and the. American
jg soldiers will have to do most of it. This
1 part of France is called Lorraine. The
| Germans stole ii in IX7I. Metz Is the
present capitol if Lorraine. The old
ipi’ol of Lorraine was Nancy. Nancy
i.- about fifteen miles from the base of
Ith-- American Army.
| When we have a pass or furlough, we
can go and she this old city. Nancy is
hometimes called the “Little Paris of
i France." About IJO.Oeo people lived here
piefore the war. In the outer of the city
a large square called the Place Stani-
Ig las, named after a Duke who ruled here
a 177 years ago.
“ The best women’s gloves in the world
arc made in Nancy. Gloves which cost
two dollars a pair in New York City < an
be bought for five francs or one dollar
a pair there.
So before we go to France we should 1
find out what size gloves our fother. sis- ]
ter or best girl wears and send back a
pair for a Christmas or Birthday pres
ent.
Os course we will want to see Faris '
a when w« get to France, but as it is a 1

| shall not have a chance to visit it very I

The Legal Rights Os The Private Soldier
Two privates >:» Ofir of the eastern cantonments became interested in a course of lectures recently arranged
for the benefit of officers. One of the talks especially attracted their attention. It was a discussion of the legal rights
of army officers, as compared with the legal rights of a civilian. One of the two men in khaki had overheard some of
the points of the talk and was quoting them for the benefit of his companion. This turned his auditor’s thoughts to
the personal equation.
"Did the law-shark, who put up the talk, say anything about the legal rights of the private soldier!” he inquired.
"Private soldiers'” sniffed the other. "That shows your ignorance. The private soldier ain’t got no legal rights.”
That is where the self-constituted authority showed HIS ignorance. The private soldier has an imposing array
of legal rights. They are carefully safeguarded and explicitly defined in the Articles of War. which govern life i;>
the army quite as rigidly as federal, state and municipal laws govern the activities of an individual in civil life.
The editor of “Trench and Camp.” wishing Io correct what may be a common misunderstanding in the training
camps, appealed to the General Staff of the Army for a terse statement on the subject. In the following memo
randum, prepared by Colonel E. G. Davis, who has specialized on military law, there are set forth just a few of the
legal rights of the private soldier:
By E. G. DAVIS, COWNEL, GENERAL STAFF, U. S. A.
Enlisted men in the Army of the
United States are subject to military
law and liable to bo tried by military
I courts from the date of their muster
j or acceptance into the service, in case
of those who enlist, and in the case
]of those drafted, from the day on
which, by the terms of the draft or
der, they are required to obey the
same. (2d A. W.).
A soldier charged with a crime or
a serious offense under the Articles
of War may be placed in confinement.
For a minor offense be may be placed
in arrest. (69th A. W.). Ordinarily
no one but a commissioned officer has
the right to place a soldier in arrest
or confinement.
The 70th Article of War provides
that no person shall be held In con
finement more than eight days, or
until a court-martial can be convened,
except al remote, posts or stations. A
person placed In arrest is entitled to
bo served with a copy of the charges
on which he is to bo tried within
eight days after his arrest and to be
brought to trial within ten days there
after, unless the necessities of the
service prevent such trial. In that
event he must be brought to trial
within thirty days. If charges are
not served or if the person ia not so
brought to trial, the arrest must
cease, but those so released from
arrest may be tried, when the exigen
cies of the service will permit, with
in twelve months after such release.
When a soldier is brought to trial
l before a special or general court-mar
tial, he has the right to challenge
any member of the court (18th A.
W.). The usual ground of challenge
is that the officer is a witness in the
case, or that he has investigated it, or
that he has signed the charges or
formed an opinion as to the guilt of
the. accused. He may also be chal
lenged on the ground of personal bias
or prejudice. Tito accused is also
accorded the right to be represented

qualifies as a witness he is subject
to cross-examination the same as any
other witness, but he is not subject
to cross-examination on an unsworn
statement.
So much for the rigid question of
rights. The law's assistance to sol
diers goes farther, however. The War
Department, realizing that the fight
ing men may require assistance in
matters that go beyond military rou
tine, has made the entire legal de
partment of the Army an instrument
to help the private soldier in his per
sonal troubles. If any man in the
United States Army uniform wishes
legal advice about his own or his fam
ily’s affairs, he. may appeal to tha
Judge Advocate of his division, or
his assistants. As a means of facili
tating these appeals, the War Depart
ment has been granted permission to
detail Judge Advocate assistants as
lieutenants and captains in the vari
ous units. When this arrangement is
perfected, legal assistance may be ex
tended to the soldiers through battal
ion headquarters, thus eliminating
tho delays that attach to an appeal
for help to division headquarters.
In addition, the Red Cross has
placed its legal department at the call
of the American private soldier. If
one of the men in General Pershing’s
army, for qxample, learns that his
family irrtho United States is threat
ened with eviction proceedings, or
other legal difficulties, he may take
his troubles to the nearest Red Cross
field director, or associate field direc
tor. That representative will take a
complete report of the case and for
ward it to Red Cross headquarters in
the United States, with the result that
the Red Cross legal department in
1 this country will take up the matter
i and provide expe.rt legal assistance
for the soldier’s family.
It is obvious, therefore, that the
soldier fighting for the American flag
may count on legal privileges as well
as legal rights.
