APPEAL MADE
* TO BRITISHERS
' NOT IN VAIN
PARIS, Aug. 28 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—An appeal to
the British soldiers dictated by the
then General Foch, asking them to
remember their forefathers’ victory
over Napoleon, inspired them to at
tack the Germans and recover the
ground they had lost before the gas
wave at the second battle of Ypres,
writes Colonel Feyler in the Journal
De Geneve.
Before the asphyxiating gas both
British and French had been obliged
to give ground. The then General
Foch intended to recover the former
positions at all costs, according to
Colonel Feyler. He asked General
Sir John French to co-operate with
him. “Impossible,” replied French,
“my men are ready to hold here but
I do not feel that I can demand of
them in their present condition fur
ther sacrifices in attacking.”
Foch expresed surprise: “Their
morale is low,” he said. “Why don’t
you launch a proclamation? Some-,
thing like this: ‘British soldiers,
forward. You who have vanquished
the great Napoleon, shall it come to
pass that you will permit the lowly
German to drive you from your posi
tions and retain them?
“How is that?” asked French,
greatly interested. “Please repeat
it.” And at the dictation of Foch,
French wrote out the proclamation
^ which was given out to the troops
the next day.
The next morning the British sol
diers hit the line and recovered all
the lost ground.
HOSPITAL AT CANTIGNY
TO COMMEMORATE
FIRST AMERIC AN FIGHT
PARIS, Aug. 30 (by mail).—The
memory of the American soldiers who
fell at Cantigny is to be perpetuated
at Montdidier bv the establishment
of a municipal hospital constructed
from American Red Cross barracks.
Over the entrance to the administra
tion building will be an inscription
reading: “Gift of the American Red
Cross to the town Montdidier. In
memory of the American soldiers who
m fell at Cantigny.”
Cantigny, in the valley below Mont
didier, was the first American battle
field in France. In the beginning ot
the allied advance last summer, the
Americais captured Cantigny against
tremendous odds, advancing further
than any other troops in taking it.
Many Americans ,lie buried on the
hillsides about the town. The French
T country people are keeping the graves
green, many of the families having
“adopted” American graves.
In the country surrounding Mont
didier, the soldier-peasant is return
ing to the soil. Crops are growing
I a inlMT
where in January there were hun
dreds of shell holes, dugouts and
trenches. Nearly half of the devas
tated fields in the district have been
reclaimed. But while this has been
going on the villages have in a large
measure been neglected. Social life,
however, is being rapidly restored.
Churches and schools are springing
up everywhere and in many cases
Red ‘dross barracks are serving for
this purpose.
Despite the fact that their homes
are dark cellars and dugouts, the
people are cheerful and never fail
to express their gratitude and appre
ciation for what America has done
for them.
BOLSHEVIK AGENTS
ARE CLOSELY WATCHED
LONDON, Aug. 27 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The interna
tional agents who are watching the
Bolshevik leaders believe they have
now so isolated them from the world
that they are no longer efficient in
the spread af their dangerous propa
ganda.
Direct communication between the
Bolsheviki and their agents abroad
is being rendered increasingly diffi
cult. Four months have elapsed since
the last direct communication from
the Bolshevik leaders in Russia
reached their fellows here.
A Swede brought $30,000 here recent
ly for Bolshevik purposes. Five min
utes after he delivered the money- to
an agent in London he was in cus
tody. A Scotland Yard man was
close to him during the whole of
his journey to England.
