WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FKAM'K, June 10. —A flne
featnrr.i, delicate-looking lad of.
hardly IS was leaning wearily
against the front of a building in
a Httlo French village, waiting.
along with the rest of his battal
ion, tor the word to advance Into
the fir*t line American trenffhes.
The village was jus', three miles
behind tho lines and all day the
Toads l'Miling to It from the south
and west had been choked with
American soldiers, American sup
ply trains. American machine guns
and American motors
The troops for one particular
part of the line were to assemble
In the village and then ko to their
trpnch positions under cover of
darkness.
This 18-year-old boy, leaning
aralnut the building, attracted niv
attention, because he looked ko
much out of place. Ho lacked
that hardy, rough and ready phy
sique that was characteristic of
his fellow soldiers.

"Bo>," I said to him. "you don't
look vt-ry well. What's the mat
ter with you—sick or scared?"
H.. pulled himself together In
an instant, looked me squarely in
tho eye and replied:
"No, I'm not scared. But I just
got out of the hospital four days
ago, and I haven't got my strength
back yet. When we were up in
the trenches the first time for
training one of those boches put
* bul!«>t thru my side, and it sort
Of took the pep out of me."
"Tliei what are you doing here
low?" [ pursued. "Why didn't
you stay in the hospital until you
were fully recovered?"
"And miss all this? Why, this

"I lied to 'em at tiM hospPal. I
told 'em I was ready for duty
«gain. and they let me out. Say.
this will be Bomethlne for me to
talk about the rest of my life if
I rome thru all right!"
This boy, better than any of
scores of others with whom I
Ulked that day, expressed the
Klilrit of the American troops as
they waited for the word actually
to go Into battle!
He got out of a sick bed and
ahouldered his gun, because he
felt his commander in chief had
honored him by Rending him In
FIRST and he didn't want to miss

An old sergeaint—2o years 1n
the regular army—also gave me
a clear insight Into the morale of
our troops that day.
"These fellows know exactly
what they are going up against."
■he said. "When we were back in
the training camps there was a
lot of horse-play and joshing, hut
you don't see any of that going
on around here today, do you?
"These boys realize that It is up
to them to demonstrate that an
American can be as good a sol
dier, if not better, than either a
IJrlti.-hi-r or a Frenchman, and the
liOrd knows both of them ;tire
wonders. Every one of us has a
sneakin' idea that we are smarter
than a German, and that we're
going to put one over on him
when we get accustomed to our
surroundings at the front."

Early In the afternoon a Ger
man balloon took a position, not
(ar beyond the German lines, and
when French airplanes went up to
puncture it a thrilling air battle
ensued.
The i.illoon came down quirkly
to eßoaiin being destroyed, but the

All afternoon French trucks
and wagons kept coming bank
from the front lines, moving
French supplies and equipment,
perparatory for the entrance of
the Americans.
At one time, an ambulance
stopped In the village and a
Wench pollu with a freshly
ftandaged arm stepped out. He
asked the American 'boys for a
cigaret, and at least 10 packages
were shoved at him. He became
the center of an taterestlng group.
"A sniper got me," he said.
"He must have been hiding some
where In No Man's Land. Look
out for that fellow. He hit an
other of our men yesterday."
Shortly after 4 o'clock, the
order was given to get ready, and
•t 4:30 the march to the trenches
began.
They went ia squads of eight

ing each squad. Very little talk
ing, no singing, nolevity, every
body deeply serious.
I inarched out with the first

to pass by.
