A Sidelight

I’ve talked with some of the infantry coming down here and they have wonderful .tales to tell. The French ire wildly enthusiastic over the Americans—one French regiment passed me going into action waving the Aniercan flag. » / gome time when T have time I’ll sit lown and analyze the sensations: they’re indelible —It’s a sort of high excitement that makes anything possible. It’s taken at least three hits to stop any of our men. Generally they keep on going, nevertheless, until they can’t go anyvfarther—then shoot from where they are until they’re picked off or the advance goes too far ahead, and the litter'bearers get them and bring them In.—From Letter of an American Artillery Lieutenant, printed in Collier’*, Weekly.
