IS SURPRISED
THAT YANKS
DO NOT BRAG
One Irishman writes from Kansas
City to a London newspaper to ex
press his surprise because Americans
are not boasting over file achieve
ments of the American soldiers in the
war
Before the Americans began to do
any fighting he was much impressed
by evidences of great enthusiasm for
__ the war and little realization of the
sacrifices involved
“I wondered what would happen
when the Americans had their first
big affair,” he writes ”1 anticipated
an unprecedented burst of patriotism
which would probably exaggerate the
| accomplishments of the American sol
j diers.
'The German drive started, and the
I reports came in of the way the boys
had held the line and stood firm, and,
in fact had done all that their home j
folks had expected of them There !
seemed to be an ominous calm when
tie* news arrived. I began to look
for tie* uproar, for the enthusiasm
which my previous experience had led

SOMKWIIKHK IN FltANCK. Oct. 12
"What (Iocs it feci like to be shelled
or bombed?" is a question which many
people at home ask of American sol
diers in their letters.
Bombing has one marked difference
from shell fire. When a bomb has ex
ploded. a soldier can be fairly sure
that the worst is over, whereas when
a shell explodes, the lirst shell pre
sages many successors. Shells, like
troubles, never come singly.
Few soldiers try to pretend that they
like shelling or even that they are
indifferent to it. Many of them admit
that nothing makes them more ner
vous than desultory shell fire. They
may try to appear apathetic they
generally light a cigarette but it is
altogether a poor performance
The absurd part of if is that the
slightest cover makes the soldier quite
himself again It is the instinct of
the ostrich It is almost humorous to
see what shelters men will run to if a
shell comes their way. Long grass
even creates the illusion of safety
Many soldiers admit that they are
at their bravest when in lied. They
put their heads under the blankets
and feel as safe as in a deep cellar.
Outside in the road they feel quite mi
safe, although actually there is little
to choose between the two places.
