Entente Cordiale at Saloniki.

More seriously Interesting than any personal fancies is the active quality of the entente which one discovers at Saloniki. In France the two armies were separated; here they mingle On the western front the Belgians held their section of the line, then came the British, and below them was the great French section; one hardly met a Belgian or a French soldier except by accident. Here in Macedonia we mingle freely, in fact, are arriving at friendships that must survive the war, Mid the ridiculous thing out here is the way we go discovering one another. From a hundred British mouths I have heard what a wonderful army la that of our ally, and that if we were onetenth part as efficient, and so forth, and so forth; and again from my French friends I hear how wonderfully organized is the army of Britain, and if theirs were one-tenth part as well equipped and found, and so forth, and so forth. . . . Both parties are quite sincere; in some points either army takes the lead, and it is on a few such points that we fasten. —Albert Kinross, in The Atlantic.
