French Soldier Goes Home. {
United Press Service.
Paris, Sept. 30.— (By Mail to
New York.)—Dirty and unshav-,
en and wearing a filthy uniform, j
Jean Briege of the 72nd infan
try. sat packed in a little com-1
partment of a train that was
soon to start for Bordeaux and i
laughingly told me how he hap
pened to have his hand shot off
by a German bullet. I liked him
from the first for the way he ,
acted and despite his dirty ap
pearance I noticed when he
laughed that his teeth were ear
ly white.
“It’s over for me,” said Jean,
“and it's back to my electrict
wiring in Bordeaux ” He used
a French slang that showed he i
was fully city broke.
“Ever since I was a kid T’ve
been waiting for this European j
war. and now it’s come and |
gone for me. All my nights at j
the armory, all my two years in
camp—pouf! All for this!

Just a ride on a train, a hell of
a slam bang of bullets for six
hours a few days of ducking a
round on farms and in forests
and I’m done- I lifted up my
hand to point out a German and
—pouf! my hand is gone.’
I suppose the story of how a
French soldier fights will be told
in a million different ways be
fore long; also the story of how
he charges or retreats or dies.
Jean had his storm of battle to
tell, without a boast. But the
thing that hit me about Jean
was how a French soldier goes
home when he is through.
