OUR GUESTS OF FAMOUS
FOREIGN LEGION OF FRANCE
(Continued from Page Two)
or flag they may call their own, have
gladly taken its oath of service. What
a man has been is no hindrance to
his service it is a tradition of the
Legion that a King once bore arms
in its ranks. Beside him were men
of title and men whose former acta
have led them into prisons.
Once in Mexico City, so the story
goes, a Legionary stepped from its
ranks and said mass in a cathedral.
He bad been a Bishop unfrocked af
terward When divine service had
ended, again be stepped into column
and took up his arms.
Particularly do the Germans hate
the Foreign Legion Because citizens
of races they have conquered dare to
bear arms against them, they hate it
They especially hate those enlight
ened men of their own race who have
taken service. For years they have
tried by every manner of political
pressure to cause France to disband
these regiments.
In August. 1914. GO.000 foreigners,
men who knew France and loved it. j
and who knew the French ideal and
respected it, were accepted into ser !
vice in the Foreign Legion Since !
then thousands have given their lives
anti other thousands have talo n their
places.
The Foreign Legion, as it was con
stituted in 1914, including the thou
sands who had volunteered to aid I
France and veterans of the organiza
tion which had for thirty years been
guarding the colonial possessions of
France in Africa, began to win new
honor* with the assaults at Artois,
May 9, 1915.
The Legion was sent against the j
German first line, a defense believed j
to be Impregnable. Against a blazing i
barrage and the hail or machine gun i
fire the foreign soldiers of France
went forward. They dared the mines I
and passed the barbed wire. Bayonets
flashed in the first trenches. They
stopped only long enough to compter,
then pressed on.
Within an hour they had passed
their objective and penetrated the
second line. They had advanced so j
fast ami so far that they were beyond [
support, and eventually were forced
to withdraw to contact with their own
army.
In September. 1915. at Champagne,
two regiments of the Legion again did
the seemingly Impossible, taking some j
strongly fortified positions under ma
chine gun fire. Their losses were |
terrible, but in each case they won j
their victory. Then, for forty-seven |
days, each regiment held a newly tak \
en position against constant counter '
attack bv superior forces.
Champagne cost the Legion the
strength of a full regiment Where ■
two went in, Imt one returned. They i
proved to Germany how "contempt
ible neutrals" could fight in the cause
of France
It has been a tradition of the Legion
that to sign for service is to sign I
one's death warrant, but there are |
men who look on that adventure with ;
a laugh Sweeping across the bloody J
fields at Champagne, the Legionaries
passed to victory, with the cheers of
their wounded and dying comrades
in their ears Soldiers of th ],, tlon
died content.
During the Libertv Loan campaign
tb<‘ Legion will be seen freouentlv on
v" •• Vnrk streets. It is possible th t
m uniters will endeavor by speech to
stir Americans to oc,,;,».,r effect )n
•his war. but nothing they can .:■>.■!
will so move men's hearts as th ir
own example and the example of
their organization
