In their well-Sttlnr Khaki uniforms and tbelr correct ihlli i tary bearing, they look better than the English, who are notid for their practical, modern military dress. But. above all. the Americans 1m press us by Umlr splendid moral standing, owing to their general «du ration and their excellent discipline They guard themselves against all ! the evcesses, into which men thrown nil ol n sudden. Into cities known as 'cities of pleasure, would be liable to fall.

We call them “Sammies.” not only lr analogy- to the English "Tommies'' but because Unde Sam has sent them io us. They at be most welcome visitors we ever snd we try to prove It to them. In Paris we took them through the streets In automobiles to show them the sights of our wonderful capital. With wide-eyed wonder, they admired the Colonnade o' the Louvre, the ancient Carousel, the magic vista from the Tullerics through the Champs Ely sees tojh--Arch of Triumph. They were fully alive to the animation of the Boulevards. those incomparable boulevards Incomparable not so much on account of the width of the streets, or the beauty of the buildings, but on account of the bustle, the intense Ufe. the agitation of the crowds, conversing in all the languages of the five continents, a picturesque tower of Ba-

action.

Distributed in different camps of lni *t rod Ion. camps excelkmUy coBcHvsd. ; snd remarkably Installed, they work ardently to complete their military training. Son' are regular soldi-rs. with experlec.e of army life, such as those :if the late expedition into Mexi-

co. but the great number are volunteers or drafted men. it must not be forgotten, thst this war is so different from all former ones, that the best trained, the best prepared troops of old Europe were obliged tp undergo entirely new training. and to modify all their methods. This is predominantly a war of "machinery". The formations of battle fronts are determined by the complicated defensive works of the enemy. This imposes a serious preparation upon new troops before sending them i face the foe. The "Samm'es" are actually undergoing this process of preparation under the guidance of French Instructors. veterans of the great war. One of these Instructors, an officer, of the Artillery, lately told me how | much be was surprised at the readiness with which the Sammies assimilated the knowledge of guns and Iheir chanism. "These Americans." be said, "are born engineers, and the war being essentially a wnr of engineer*, they are going to play a predominant

role in It.”

We are also nursing great hopes in France on the coming service of American • aviators. Our people are beginning to see visions. They are .Ireaniiug of a fleet of several thousand aeroplanes urrt'-r the star-span-:-|ed banner. Invading Germany and threatening Berlin with a terrible bombardment. Such exaggerations are dangerous. No doubt the Americans are preparing to astonish the world by the superiority of their flying ma- • bines, wllh all tbelr ingenuous devices. by tbelr audacity in conceiving uBd executing tbelr operations, but every airplane requires at least twenty men. aviators, mechanics, pilots, etc. For lO.fKsi aeroplanes, the number mentioned by several of my confreres. there would be required an army of 400.000 men for this branch of the service alone. Can It be more

than a dream?

One of the charming and at time* amusing trait* of the Sammies is their unfailing good nature, joined to good practical common sense. They spend much. The difference in value of the monetary un.t would account for that, but they do not intend to be "stung" as they picturesquely express IL A young American about to puts chas* an article In a store. Is asked an extravagant price. "Beg pardon." he lays to the merchant. "1 am not an Englishman. 1 am an American." Our British allies are noted for their prodigality In spending. The following la told of an Englishman. He no ticed a pair of geese for sale in the market. Ha asks: "Comblen? (How ranch)" Th- market woman, supposing that he means the pair, answers. "Sixty Francs ” The Englishman hands her i:«' francs, pick- up one of the geese and walks away with it. Sammy has yet been known '"

such a mistake.
