WITH Till-: A.MKIUCAN HOYS AT
Tin: FRONT. July ill (by in.dll. We
had ;i new kind of July Fi.irtli tliis
year, out here on the front in I .or- • £
raine. It was almost as sate; and j V:
surely ns sane, as any we have e\cr ; A;
had. yet well not forget it. I’ll tell k;:
v hat happened. ! £:
We looked forward to almost noth
im- |or the Fourth, for we were to -x
move to our new quarters Hie day fol
lowing. Consequently, our primary jx
eoncern was getting the supplies all
ready that we needed in living up the '•
hut That took all mornin. . and the “
Fourth was much the same as any P
other, except for the French Mags
that were everywhere with the Stars
and Stripes The natives e\erywhere
put up every Mag they could lay
hands on.
At noon ive were told to he ready
in an hour to go out and see the new ;
quarters. We were rushed toward
the front, behind camouflaged roads
in a fast military automobile, and as i
vc turned into the town where we
were to stay, we humped square into
a Fourth of July celebration We
stopped, to join in. | T
American General There.
On one side of a road through the
ecnler of our town the hoys had built [
a small handstand. It was draped in
flags, very prettily arranged Here
were assembled an American general,
several French officers, and some
more American officers of high rank.
Opposite them were assembled as
many doughboys and French troops as
could he spared from the lines. They
were massed, and were listening to
the hand play French and American
patriotic songs. The hoys seemed to
enjoy it. for they were smiling and
keeping time to the music.
Then our general got up to speak.
We thought ii very apropriate when
he began his speech in French, though
he was not very fluent with it. He
did his best, and assured the French
men we had come to help them for
the very same reason that we revered
our Independence Hay. They were |
pleased that he should attempt to
speak in French.
Speaks to Americans.
Then the general spoke In Kngllsh
to the Americans present, and recall
ed our motives In the war. our tight
for liberty as he called it The Amer
icans were much impressed. Then the
band played more patriotic pieces,
and everybody thought the program :
was over, even the general.
Hut ho, like the rest of us, was
wrong As soon as the band finished
a string of tiny French tots, little
drls, all dressed in their Sunday
bests, same up on the platform, laden
iwn with flowers. The first little
rl presented her bouquet to the
neral, who lifted her gently up and
ssed her on the cheek.
Then the next tot presented her
iwers to another officer, who did
ftewlse. All the babes presented
eir flowers and went down the
- - I
steps as pleased as could be. The i
Americans wen* delighted with the
unexpected turn to the program.
The townspeople had decided to
show their appreciation to the Amer
icans in some way, and chose this
appropriate plan. The scene was
made doubly charming by the boom
ing of the guns not in the distance,
hut comparatively close to the scene
where the exercises took place.
The fireworks were the real thing
where we celebrated this year, and
they meant more than noise or lights,
it was a memorable Kourth for us,
and one we will not forget
