One a bit sarcastic asked me if I Aidn't find it a disadvantage to have no , language of my own. Another, wheth er one often sees Buffalo Bill in New York society, or whether Shakespeare or Bernard Shaw is most read In the State.-. Our fellows try to be polite, ; and clothe their answers in humorous disguises. The French we meet allow us to tell them things. The British extract Information like dentists But there is great admiration for the Brit- j ldh in every camp." "We swap books with both British nnd French, hut mojtly British. We find your British oilicers very eager to read our writers. I have observed Cooper's 'Tales of the Open Air,' Mark Twain In any KUise, William Dean Howelis, ileorge W.

Holmes and Longfellow thry have a passing ac quaintance with. "I think the marked trait of the American officers now In France In contrast with British and French is their love of nature. They have al ready a strong affection for their sur roundings. It is especially marked in the 'country' camps. It comes. I take it. from their love of great forests, swift-rushing rivers, wooded mountain ranges In the Fast, and snowy peaks and many-colored canyons in the West. Our men are largely members of the Audubon societies. Such companies of boys and girls studying wild flowers ar.d birds as you do not find in Europe. Their interest is not so much scientific as vital and temperamental." AMERICANS HAVE FINE SENSE OF HirMOJt "Another feature," said an officer, "is our sense of humor. Of course, we have come to Europe with the reputa tion as a nation of Jokers, whose jests, like our rendy-made shoes, have an oblique form which makes other na tionalities find difficulty in getting into them. The contrast in the humor of the various camps as I have seen them Is very marked. Our humor has noth ing of French brilliancy, little of the spice of practical joking which plays a big part in English fun. It is not like the German Joke, which announces its arrival with the sound of a trumpet. It usually wears a sober race, and speaks In a quiet voice. "Yes! we've a pretty substantial army, already in France, where the men and officers have been additionally trained since they left America.
