GRATEFUL FRENCHMEN
CALL VILLAGE AMERICA
^ VERDUN, Aug. 26 (Correspondence
of Associated Press)—Motoring north
- from the battered city yesterday, the
automobile of an American member
of the committee which is investi
gating the work of reconstruction was
hailed by an old peasant who asked
to be given a lift. There was a va
cant seat in the car and the villager
was asked what his destination was.
“America,” he replied. (L’Amer
ique.)
The passengers thought he had be
come mentally unbalanced, but he
argued with the chauffeur, who final
ly allowed him to ascend in the next
seat to him, intending to drop him at
the first village. Tt was done. “Grand
merci,” said the peasant, “this is
America.”
“America” proved to be a great
l a? racks which had been erected by
the American Red Cross on a spot
where formerly stood the little vil
lage of Fresnes. There the Red
Cross distributed clothing, food and
other necessities of life to repatriated
citizens of the devasted region of the
^ Meuse.
The returning inhabitants have
christened the village “America.”
The barracks are now occupied by
Russian soldiers awaiting their re
turn home, some of them not anxious
to return home at all. They have
been provided with old American uni
forms and look exactly like dough
boys who had neglected to shave for
three months. When asked as to
their nationality, they reply:
“We Amerikansky.”
