SALVATION OF"
FRANCE __
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Oct. 19. — The American
army in Prance Ib coming to be known
in the Faubourg Saint Antoine as
1 Armee de Salut, which is translated
as the “Salvation Army.” This is not
suggested by the other army of that
name, but because so many French
men believe the Americans have come
to assure the salvation of France.
One observes in the Faubourg Saint
Antoine, better than anywhere else in
Paris the fine spirit of the common
people toward Uncle Sam's troops.
They are welcome everywhere. There
is always a place for them on the
benches of public squares beside the
housewives of the neighborhood, who
have come out with their sewing to
get the air. Everyone tries to help
them along with their French and
the children are proud as peacocks
when they have a chance to push a
"Chubby fist into their big brown
(bands. ' «
In thfe evening the quarter is turned
1 into a sort of open air school. By the
light of pocket lamps the young folks
give the Americans aid in mastering
French idioms. The instruction is not
classic, but a mutual understanding
comes out of it somehow, and both
the American soldiers and their teach
ers get a lot of fun out of the way
they mispronounce each other’s lan
guage.
The Americans have reason to ap
preciate the hints they get as to how
to spend their money without being
fleeced, a precaution that is becoming
superfluous. Merchants are aware
now’ that the quarter regards it as
high treason to exploit the soldiers
of what they call l’Armee de Salut.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES.
Oct. 19. — When the victorious French
poilus swept up the slopes of Mor
thomme recently the fortunes of war
bfought together on the same field
of battle three generals, who as lieu
tenants had served together as mili
tary attaches with the Russian army
in the Manchurian campaign.
One of these was General Corvl
sart, commanding the troops who
wrested final possession of Mor
thomme from the Germans. A sec
ond one was General Pershing, com
manding the American expeditionary
corps in France. The third one will
be named later. During the Russian
Japanese war. half a dozen of the mili
tary attaches of the great powers
messed together and constituted prac
tically a little family. All of them
were lieutenants then.
When Corvlsart and Pershltlg. both
of whom have become generals since
then, met by accident just before the
second battle of Verdun, and renewed
their old Manchurian acquaintance
and friendship, General Corvlsart In
vited General Pershing to witness the
'-.upending battle on the Uni bauk of
the Meuse from his own observatory.
As the battle progressed the generals
exchanged reminiscences and asked
after other members of the old time
mess.
General Pershlngk asked what had
become of Lieutenant -, the
British member of their attache mess,
and was apprised that he had died
with the rank of colonel early in the
present war.
Then a gleam of new interest sud
denly came into General Pershing's
face. “But Von Eitzel," he asked.
"Lieutenant Eitzel, the German at
tache, and a member of our mess?
What do you suppose has ever be
come of him?”
“Oh, Von Eitzel,” replied General
Corvisart, with an even greater gleam
of pleasure in his face. “Oh, he *oo 1s
a general now." Then turning sud
denly towards the battlefield, he ad
ded: “And if you will look ijuickly,
Mon General, you will be just in time
to see my victorious poilus chasing the
tail end of General Von Eltzel's army
over th^ crest of Morthomme. Gen
eral Von Eitzel, our former compan
ion of the Manchurian mess, is the
general commanding in front of me ”
