‘Carr>'ing On’ in France

(These two pivturv* of French life ire given In n recent litter from •tuner by the author of “Letter* fn m tn American Soldier to His Father.") Before I turn over for good this >ne of many other page*. 1 must druw 'or you two little picture*. The first 1 sow tine sunny afternoon .vhen the shadows were tx-ginnlng to engthen out. Three of u«. Americans ill. were walking down o country road hat bordered a rolling field. In the Hstsace. at the end of one long nralght black furrow, a figure was oiling nt u two-horse plow. Ar 't .urned nnd Railed back, after conrid•rable confusion, we* could make out .-wo horse*, a Ready old white one. md n frisky bay. The old white horse jloddrd Readily along In the furrow JuR made, using what little strength ae had as cleverly cr on aged expressBut the hay. being little more than * colt, hounded up Into draught rod hack again, to left and right. Ilk* » green wheel-horse on n enlsson. As he team came ch.ser. we looked with mazement nt the figure guiding IL It rns a boy of ten. The French two-horse plow Is hung lifferent from ours, and doe* not require as much weight on the handles; mt even so. he had practically to ride t nil the way. It was plain thni guldjtg It when It threatened to twist off it up required every ounce of strength the kiddy had. Tit each moment h<ipplied It at JuR the right moment tnd JuR the right place, so the furrow remained deep and true. As tbe team came JuR below ns In lie field and stnrted to turn for the aext furrow, something went wrong. The boy was busy swinging bis plow iround and didn't see It in time. When se looked at the horses they were nil angled up. the bay lunging desperutey Into her old tentL-mste. He had >nly a single relr. to the nigh horse rod on this he yanked and shrilled (it liem valiantly enough. They quieted obediently at the sound of his volee. 3ut seemed unable to move. He lastw-u forward cracking his whip, but sothlng happened. Never Felt So Ashrired. Then I saw where the bay had her »ff hind snarled up In tbe trace, and bopped eff down the road. It was >uly a second's work to lift her foot mt and straighten tbe trace. As I flood up the youngRer come to m« thanked me, and looked at me squarely with his clear bine eyes. 1 have never felt so ashnmet In all ray life. There he Rood, the sweat of a leng Say's work beaded on his brow. In ! ridiculous Mg Icoped-up trousers arid luge wooden shoes—his father's. And ; there we Rood, three great hulking. nrood-shouldf-ri-d figures against the i ran, who had done nc. man's work all I that day. There might l>e other day*. I tn be sure, but this day was gone, nnd here was this boy. plowing for France. There was an awkward silence and one of the men, moved curiously by I know not what, offered the youngRer a paeksge of cigarettes. He smiled and shook his head, saying, obviously enough, “ne fume pas." “For your father." lnsl«tml the man. nnd I wished the words unsaid: “or your brother." The boy said nothing for n minute, his eye* clouding a little, and In the Interval he jtad grown much larger than we. We stood before lilm like tenants. Finally ne took tbe rtguretles. wadded them down Into his bugging trousers, rhlmiped cheerfully etu agh to his team, nnd plodded Runllly on ucroos the field. Behind ns. on the hill-top. thtec crocus Rood black against the

ran.

The second picture I saw but two day* before I left as I was walking np the hill to dinner. The sun had set j a* I left the village and the frogs In the pond t*-lnw the horse-trough, where the ducks quacked and dabbled In the mud all day. were beginning to sing their evening song. Suddenly I heard tbe pttter-pstter of many feet. The road ahead wa* packed a* far us the next turn with shet-j*. On they -ame. butting each other frxng ride to tide and occasionally baaing queruously. Their even, gray-white lack* u-.Rird to psve the road evenly from dde to ride, until you began to see. darting bock and Bulb, score* of Utile lambs. A* I watched, two mongrel dog*, guardians of the flock, came bounding • llcntly along one side. A Iamb bad strayed up on the bank there and they riouneml upon It to turn It back. But one of them Mt too deep, and n«4 even | pure sheep-dog* are always proof sgalnR blood. 1 saw what would h*l>pen In a minute and !cat>cd on the j tank. At my approach, the dog* I skulked off like a military |H>llrcman discovered lu a cafe after closing ! l.our*. The iamb lay motionless, blood running from It* nose. Tbs Mother* of France. ! I ralh-d the unlreraol French at-peal ; for sniBeuor anyone—"TM* done!" and . was answered Immediately. The sheep huddled stupidly In the road below, lu • got of home, while a little girl toiled , up the bank. She looked at the Is mb dl*|si*ulnnatrlr kicked It, a'-.d It rose I io it* feet Immediately and rushed I t'-ick to the fl«<-k. loo frightened almost j Then she railed the nearest dog Hr 1 * pretended not to bear at first, and thro • rsa lot up to her on nl* l-ellj. Htic b.-ld him by our »«r. and kicked with all her might at hia stoiuaeh. Hr shut

tl* eyes and screamed for mercy. Jmi never budged. This finished, she MS him r«. and he squatted behind her. watching w jint he knew would foQow. Then, while It grew darker, ibe Hid the other dog. who was now just a shadow on the hillside, r-j wns very, very small, but she was absolutely detetmined nnd eventtnliy lie cmi.f cringing up. The other dog wultcd till she was through, nnd thro they both ruo-d I :.ck to their ptnptr I’lacos on either f. nk of the flock and stnrted to drive the sheep on home. When the dogs stood on their feet without cringing they < -nu- up almost to the little girl's shoulder. I do not think she wns more than eight year* old. She walled at me. with the i:t>selfconsriousness of little children nnd hsRcncd hock to the _ flock. I stiHid there for son..' time watching Iht tiny figure striding down the road, driving the (lock before her. No one could have any doubt that she would bundle any situation which might arise. Of such are the mothers of France.

BRAVADO AND THE WAR

By ROBERT GRANT

of the Vigilantes.

Recently during an Intermission at tbe movies a performer came out and sung with gusto a mag. which pleased the audience about "Pershing CraaAag the Rhine." Every few days one reads headlines In the newspapere proclaiming that nine Americaus hare n-pnlocfl or vanquished S3 Germans. This I* lialcfu. talk. Our delay in the prodactlon of ship* and alndar.es and gum may have been unavoidable, seriug that some people are thanking God that the United States catered the wot unprepared, but we should ut least refrain from bravado, stop boasting of what we are going to do and nvogniz* the gravity of our undertaking. I heard an American offit :-r high In rom-runt.-d say not long ago. "If our troop* ever reach lb rlln, when they come t* a certain hnlldlng—the quarter* of the German military staff, let them UR their ha.*." He spoke fn.ro the point of view of military prowess. It Is meet for Americaus to bcur la mind that nil other war* which they or any other people have fought wrqf child's play compared with this the moat terrible and relentless eonteat 1* history, and that their part la tt hay only JuR ln-gun. Let u* c.-ase to hog the delusion that our troo|w are “ovet there" to show the other* how to figM anti that all will soon be over but the shouting. Let us ojh-ii our minds tr the grim truth that this war which ua have pledged oun-rlves to win la like ly to be «• supreme test «if AiueriraU energy, endurance and M-lf-sacrlllor and to cost thousauils of Atnrrieuff live*.
