ELDERLY FRENCH SOLDIERS SHOW GREAT JRAVERY Second Reserve Territorials Eager to Get Into Front Line Fighting FftEXCH FRONT. July 6. When heroism is concerned there is no question of being "too old at forty" in the

French army. This has been demonstrated time and again among the veteran regiments of the territorial army of France the second reserve, the youngest of whose men when they were called to the colors in August, 1PU had attained th age of 34, while the remainder ranged between that age and 41. Many of them, especially among the younger classes, have since been transferred at their own request into the ranks of the active army, thus making the average age of these regi- , raents much higher, while three years has been added to the age of all the men sine thy first put on thir uniforms at their country's call to arms. - These territorial regiments, like their older comrades of the territorial army reserve the third line were fot at the beginning of hostilities ex

pected to go into the firing line with

the younger soldier: of the active army and its first reserve. - Since that time many things have' changed and they have fought shoulder to shoulder with their more youthful comrades and have proved themselves still to

possess sterling value as warriors. , Record of One Regiment. ' The record of oto of these regi

ments, entireljrcdmposed of men from Brittany, will serye to demonstrate tow great is the part these soldiers Of mature age have taken in the task of repelling the invader, in spite of tjie natural supposition that they had rassed the period of enthusiasm for

Heeds of valor. This reelment was mobilized togeth

ir with the rest of the French forces on August 2, 1914. When the troops

of the active army left to meet tne in fadlns Germans crossing neutral Bel

glum, this Breton territorial regiment

was sent from its depots at Kennes 9jA Saint-Malo to organize, garrison and possibly defend one of the sections at the entrenched camp encircling Paris. t Four months it spo.nt there digging trenches, fixing barbed wire entanglements, erecting gun emplacements and doing all the arduous labor connected with the establishment of strong military works. When the Germans had been driven aclr in the battle of the Marne. they were placed in char&e of a front line hector to the nor'iieast of Rhelms. Here they stayed for 28. months, constantly harassed by the enemy while fhey dug a great syttem of trenches both of defense and communication, built blockhouses and concrete machine-gun positions, excavated rifle ted grenade pits and generally organized the position. , ' . Oo Pick and Spade Work. : - The greatest test of the soldierly qualities of these tough, old warriors came when they were transferred to Auberive in March this year. They were attached to the famous fighting Foreign Legion and their duty was to do the pick and spade work and keep the legionaries supplied with ammunition and food during the French of-

N ambers to Be Used In Draft. Drawing WASHINGTON", July 6.- Secretary Baker and provost Marshal-General Crowder today were completing ; the final details of the method to be employed in selecting registrants for the

new national army, but" the date of the drawing has not yet ' been announced. ' Complete organization of every local and district exemption board is necessary ' before the draft machinery can begin to operate. The drawings will be in Washington and indications point to the use of numbers instead of names in making selectios.

fensive which began on. April 17, and at the same time to hold a line of trenches. When the Legion went forward on its victorious attack the Breton territorials were ordered to follow them up and , extend the , communication trenches " and (racks across the conquered territory. They were not content with simply doing this very perilous work , always tinder fire. They also took part by the side of the legionaries in the capture of Auberive, end a section of territorial grenadiers played a glorious rolo in the reduction cf the small field fort of Vaudesincourt. Meeting a couple of these Bretons coming back with a. batch of, German Iirisoners, a French staff officer inquired of them where they had taken the captives and where they were go

ing and received only a. broad smile in reply. He was astonished at this apparent lack of discipline- and . was about to remonstrate when a German prisoner stepped forward . and said : "Excuse me. Sir, but these men do not speak French. ' They are Bretons." He gave the officer the information asked for and the convoy marched on. v i. I Near Welsh Tongue. - I

This is not at all surprising, for although all Frenchmen learn. French in school, the Bretons soon lose the habit of speaking it, as they at all times 'speak their Celtic tongue among themselves. This is a close approach to Welsh and has no relation whatever to French. Their gallant deeds at Auberive brought the old territorials mention in dispatches, along with the Foreign Legion, while many of the officers and men were decorated on the field of battle, including one of the majors, who, although 62 years old, has kept command of his battalion ever since war wa9 declared and has -undergone with his men all the fatigues and hardships inseparable from fighing in the front line. A word must also be said for the officers . and men of the territorial army reserve. These men when called up in 1914 ranged in age from 41 to 4S, and they have been engaged ever since in the trying work of organizing the roadways behind the Immediate line of battle and even some

times of constructing communication

trenches and tracks under heavy fire

as their younger comradeB advanced.

The- Associated Press correspondent

has seen them at work, at all parts

of the line, and can vouch for the fact that they never flinch from any task set them. They ply their picks and spades under heavy shrapnel Are as though - they were working in their fields and orchards at home without

a. murmur and without hope of gaining distinction or decoration. Their only thought is that they are helping their comrades to free France of the

barbarous Invader. -

Conservation of Foodstuffs

Miss Elsie Marshall, CountyChairman of Food Conservation Committee, National Defense, will answer questions in this c61umn.

As chairman of the Foods Conservation Committee, I have been asked to publish from time to time methods of preventing waste of food materials.

The canning of vegetables has not been commonly practiced in the home for the reason that it has been difficult to carry out The cold-pack method, however, is a very simple and successful one. Peas are very pleutifurand reasonable in price, and may be canned by the following.: method : ,( -, . . Select fresh peas, shell, wash and bianch by plunging into boiling water fori 5 minutes. , For blanching they may be placed in a cheese cloth bag, colander or wine basket. Plunge into cold water. Fill sterlized cans with the peas, then - witli boiling water to Tvhich has been added salt (1 t. to the quart.) Place rubber and lids partially seal.

WASHINGTON. July . Final dis

position by tonight of the prohibition

issue, was forecast when the food con

trol bill was again taken up In the senate today, although a sharp struggle

was promised. Both the "wets" and

"drys" were lined up for the" contest.

It was strongly indicated that the

so-called "Administration compro

mise," providing only that distillation

of foodstuffs for intoxicating beverages

shall cease, would be adopted by a big

majority. This proposal is intended as a substitute for the Gore amendment prohibiting manufacture of distilled beverages during the war and authorizing the President to suspend manufacture of malt, fermented and vinous intoxicants. The food bill waa taken up' in the senate, under an agreement to begin consideration of the . prohibition section at 2 o'clock this afternoon with

debate limited. The ' agreement was reached only after threats of invoking

the new cloture rule.

. An acrsidment by Senator Chamber

lain adopted providing that the mini

mum 4t price of any necessaries sold by the government should not be less than the minimum guaranteed price of

the products. .

Vice President Marshall laid before the Senate the report of the Chicago Federal grand jury into prices of food

stuffs in that section. It was read and ordered inserted in the record. Senator Curtis introduced the bone dry prohibition provision contained in the bill as it came from the house.
