| big cities, the attitude of our sol- | diers toward the French people and | their attitude toward the soldiers | assumes lasting importance. In London, a wise French statesman tod me: “I am not worried about -the "big { things.

French Sensitive

The French are a sensitive, proud people and their emotions are worn thin by years of strain and suffering under enemy occupation. The Frenchman who would not bat an eye to see his village bombed into a rubble-heap if we had to throw the Germans out, would bitterly resent having his flowers trampled if that were a needless or careless act. French people today are poor and often half starved. They will resent anything that looks like wastc, even on gur part.

Lavish spending by our comparatively “rich” doughboys will make a bad impression. If done in

a way to force up already high prices, or to stimulate a black market, it would be more unfortunate still. It would increase French suffering. But the G. I. Joe in this war

WAR ANALYSIS— France Fights Again—and a ° Nation Ends Its Frustration

By LUDWELL DENNY ¢ Scripps-Howard Staff Writer LS WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—One of the most significant aspects of

allied military successes in France is that the French are now aiding their own liberation.

The underground, which had been held in check for so long, is sabotaging German communications on a large scale. Organized groups of Maquis are wiping out enemy garrisons and capturing villages. Gen.
