PARIS--ONCE ATHENS, NOW SPARTA--PAUSES TO PRAISEOUR MEN
By JOHN McHUGH STUART,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. 8.
PARIS, Sept. 12 (by mail).—"“Amer
ica has done more tnan beat the boche
on the battlefield. She has conquered
Prance, France's affection and admi
ration.”
That is the testimony of Andre
Castaigne, painter, chevalier of the
Legion of Honor, and widely known
in AJ‘nerlca, for his illustrations of
Kipling and for his powerful series or
pictures in the Cosmopolitan, Hearst's,
Seribners, Century and other Amer
jcan magazines. Mr. Castaigne is first
of all a Frenchman. His patriotism
is part of his life. Next, he is a keen
observer. He is a reporter in line
and .color, a jonrlaist of the brush
without equal. His testimony is val
uable.
We crossed together. Throughout
the two weeks' trip his theme was
Prance. His France can do no wrong.
Paris is the “jewel in the crown of
France.” And his last words as I left
him at a seaport were these:
“When you get to Paris you will
feel it. You will feel the thrill of this
modern Athens. It will come into your
brain and into your heart like electric
sparks. There is no city like Paris.
It is because Paris is what she is that
the French think all the nations of the
world are rushing to the western bat
tle front to save their Paris.”
I rushed for a train while he pur
sued an easy course up through the
pleasant ¥Frgnch countryside. With
his good-bye wave of the hand he
shouted:
“I envy you your first glimpse of
Paris!”
Forgot All but America.
And when he found me in Paris to
day he had forgottert everything but
America. 3
“I know it,” he said eagerly. “Ev
eryone tells it to me. 1 have talked
to the little people here in Paris, to
the farmers and the small townspeo
ple in the provinces. But, most of all,
1. have talked to our own poilus home
on_permission. They all speak of but
one thing—'America.’
“Everyone in France is talking of
the magnificent bravery of the Amer
iean troops. But almost as much,
they talk of the wonderful power of
your country shown in the hundreds
of miles of railway, the miles of docks
and the acres of buildings. They think
of little elée. And beside the bravery
of vour troops in battle they speak
of their fine discipline in the back
areas, their regard for decency, and
their consideration for the old people
and the French women and children.
Never has one nation so entered into
another’s heart.”
“And Paris?’ T asked him.
“You have not seen Paris,” he re
plied gravely, almost sadly, but with
his head held high. “Paris was Ath
ens. Today it is Sparta.”
We were walking just after dark
on the Boulevard St. Michel, the great
thoroughfare, the “Boul Miche,” of the
Latin Quarter.
“Think of it,” said the artist, stop
ping full in the middle of the pave
ment.
“Think of it! The Boul Miche light
ed by a single Licyvcle lamp!”
It was true. A!ll up and down the
great wide thoroughfare, lined in
peace time with glittering buvettes,
séidewalks jammed with strolling stu
dents and girls, roadway a-whirl of
motors and cabs and taxis and street
dars—this night stood only a French
man stirred by the proudest sorrow
and an American with his hat off,
while down the hill rolled a single
bicycle, its tiny lamp looming like a
conflagration in the all-shrouding
darkness of war-time Paris at night.
We had walked all over the famous
Quartier, the Frenchman who knew it
like the palm of his hand, and myself
who saw it thus for the first time.
The Paris of the boulevards, of the
DPDue de la Paix, the Bois, the Opera,
the Paris the tourist knows, was*a
thousand miles and a thousand years
away. In those narrow, twisting
gtreets whose houses count their age
by centuries, lit by infrequent and
dark blue-shaded lamps, it was sacs<
rilege to think of a taxicab or a derby
hat.
One looked for halbardiers and men
in leather jerkins. But one found no
men. Only up by the great mass of
mray stone that was once the fore
most Jesuit college of France were
there men—wounded soldiers in uni
form.
Put Shoulders to Wheel.
The other figures one met in those
dim streets, the voices one heard from
the gardens and courts and doorways
were the robust figures and the still
bright voices of the women of
France, ,the working women of the
metropolis who have put their shoul
der to the wheel, literally, and kept
the life of the great city going. We
talked with one who might have been
a duchess, so perfect were hér man
ners. But she was a typiecal gamin of
the Paris streets, the sister of Victor
Hugo's Gavroche.
She had done everything from sell
ing flowers to carrying coal on her
Back a hundred pounds a a time. Her
mpan was at the front, twice wounded,
but she was cheerful She, too, told
us of the valor of the Americans as
she had heard it frcm her man's
friends.
And we went for a last smoke to
Castaigne’'s own warm-tinted, high
ceiled studio, his workshop and his
home. Both of us were silent He
mourning the bright Paris he had
left two years ago, his modern Ath
ens, but proud of the new-found
Sparta, the great shrobbing city- of
women that “carried on"” under the
blue-shaded lights, gloriously backed
up by those men of theirs facing the
boche peril three score miles away,
and was able to smile at the stuttered
questions of an ambling American
myself marveling at the past and the
present I had seen, knowing, too, that
if it should be asked of Columbia
that she lay on the altar of liberty
the sacrifice that France has laid
there, America, too, will answer-—with
a brave smile
Both of us sure of this, too--that
after thi wa the ties that bind
America and Franee will be tles of
flesh and blood and stee! and gold
yes, and ties of gpirit and mind. Never
again will students of medicine and
welence go to Berlin from America, 1
told Castaigns And we bothy had
'yvigions of many ships carryine the
fine things of France west and the
neaful things of America east ind
American students thropging those
old streets up backeof France's great
Sorbenne

SAVING THE WRECKED SUBMA
RINE CREW,
ESOLVED that the enemy
R should not tow his U-boat
into port as a prize to gloat
over, the German commander has
tened to scuttle her and his crew
might sink or swim. It was im
possible for the destroyers to thwart
his intention, for he had remained
in the conning tower while his men
fled on deck. The clamor of “Kam
erad” still rent the air when he
stole below, unobserved, and opened
the sca valves, which let the water
gush in.
This was a sad disappointment to
the American bluejackets, who were
fondly hoping to make it a perfect
day. In fact, “Chips” had already
begun to break out in a five-inch
hawger to pass over the stern of
the Fanning.
“The swine have sunk her, damn
their eyes!” he mourned. in great
disgust. “Stow that hawser away,
and step lively. We won't need it.
And 1 had bright visions of jerking
that sub clear across the pond and
moorin' it alongside the Battery.
Oh, boy!"
The submraine filled and settled
beneath its crew before the destroy
ers could lower away boats. As it
foundered. the men were wasned
from the deck, and two or three
were caught under the aerial wire
and carried down until they man
aged to struggle free. Only one
man of the lot was missing.
The scene was. in a way, much
like that of the tragedy of the Brit
ish steamer Belgian Prince, torpe
doed and sunk, whose crew was
transferred to the deck of a German
submarine which eclosed her hatch
and ran several miles before sub
merging and deliberately drowning
all but three of the prisoners.
There was a similarity in the as
pect of these two scenes, as | say, a
submarine dropping from under a
crew massed on deck, and men
fighting for life in the sea, but the
difference was immensely vital and
significant. These German captives
experienced a kindlier fate. There
was no idea of employing their own
infamous doctrines against them,
but an instant readiness to save
them from drowning and to give
them deceiit care.
The Fanning now swung in closer
to rescue the castaways, while the
Niesholson, which had stood by in
case of need, hastened tc rejoin the
convoy, having been in at the
death.
Thirty-odd German sailors, ana
very odd they looked, all bobbing
about 'in a tranquil sea, their sub
marine gone to the bottom, and the
whole affair, from start to finish,
had lasted less than ten minutes!
In the war zone there seldom occurs
what might be called a protracted
performance. It is touch and go, hit
or miss, and if you miss the other
fellow he is very likely to get you.
The happy Fanning steamed slow -~
ly among the floundering German
sailors while the American blue
jackets threw lines for them to
grasp. Some were able to cling fast
and so were dragged aboard like a
large, unpleaasnt species of fish.
Others seemed waterlogged or
made nerveless by the shock. To
these was tossed the bight of a line
which they were able to slip down
over their shoulders and be yanked
up hand-over-fist. One of them, too
feeble to help himself, was about
to sink when two of the crew of the
Fanning jumped into the sea and
held him afloat. He was very weak,
half-drowned, and died soon after
rescue,
These two American sailors,
Coxswain Conner and Chief Phar
macist's Mate Harwell, who dived
after the perishing enemy, could not
have told you why they did it. The
motive was not love for the Huns,
of the U-boat fleet. They would
have thought it just to set this
submarine crew adrift in open boats
100 miles from land and let them
taste the bitterness of it in full
measure, Not as Germans, but as
men who needed a helping hand in
distress—this was why two enlisted
men of the United States navy went
over the side without a moment's
hesitation,
The prisoners sat on the deck of
the Fanning, chilled through, ex
hausted, dumbly fearful of their
fate, staring at the curious blue
jackets who surrounded them and
displayed no open hostility. The
three German officers were taken
under guard tosthe wardroom, given
dry clothing, coffee, cigarettes and
staterooras in which they were un
able to communicate with each
other.
The submarine commander, a
young man ‘of compact, muscular
build, his hair close-cropped, was
typical of his kind, bold features
hrh indieate 3 temper harsh and
mperious, the sort of min who
ould blindly obey the orders of
his superior and, in turn, enforce
them abgolutely, He was in a sul
len humor, aßsurdly punctilious, his
demeanor indicating that he expect
ed to be treated ag an officer and a
A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes
gentleman, even in the small de
- tails of naval etiquette. .In this re
spect the American officers con
ducted themselves with the most
scrupulous courtesy.
The German crew, meanwhile,
were given dry clothing ! a
hearty meal while the desiroyer
raced ovdr the smooth sea to land
this strange cargo at her base port,
Reluctantly the bluejackets obeyed
the strict routine of duty, keenly
on the watch for other submarines.
These sometimes roamed in pairs,
like rattlesnakes, and the mate of
the sunken craft might be in the
vicinity.
The bluejackets to be envied
were those detailed as sentries.
This was a rare entertainment, and
the prisoners were becoming talk
ative, a few in broken English, one
or two speaking with fluent ease as
though they had lived in the United
States or had sailed in Atlantic
passenger steamers of the German
lines. They volunteered more or
less information, gossip of no great
importance. but intensely interest
ing to the audience because of the
source whence it came.
This was the U-boat's first mis
hap during the cruise. They had
hoped to encounter a merchant con
voy sooner instead of wandering in
search of single ships. Their com
mander had a rash desires, aiso, to
put a torpedo into an American
destroyer, but this was foolish
business, in the opinion of his men.
They hoped to be carried to the
United States as prisoners of war.
England would be much more se
vere with them, so they argued.
Several declared an intention of liv
ing in America after the war. They
wanted no more of Germany. A
pity to think, said they, that it was
now denied t}i}m to spend Christ
mas at home. This was very sad,
indeed. To the American sailors
who listened and looked on, Kriss-
Kringle and the simple joys of a
German Christmas seemed, under
the circumstances, a trifle incongru
ous.
The prisoners were delighted to
change their clothés, for they were
never ahle to take them off while at
sea. Washing with soap was a lux
ury. Soap was so scarce in Ger
many that a sailor was given no
bigger than your finger as his al
lowance for a month. The subma
rine crews received food enough,
such as it was, and fared much bet
ter than the people ashore, but it
was Incredible to find such abun
dance of everything on board a ship
of the American navy. In Germany
they had forgotten what white
bread tasted like.
A boatswain's mate of the Fan
ning surveyed a group of the pris
oners who were rounded up near
the engine room hatch and re
marked, without heat: !
“Those murderers ought to. be
strung up by the thumbs, take it
from me, but 1 suppose they had to
do what this bum Kaiser told 'em.
That's no excuse, and yet it makes
a little difference. Are they shed
ding any tears because that dear old
submarine fell from under ‘em?
Nary a tear. This is the luckiest
thing that has happened to those
guys since they left Helgoland, or
wherever it was.”
