"SOME RAILROADING" IN FRANCE, WRITES

JOHNV.TONEY

'? John W. Toney, who is on a rail

rond in France, Bays the system of railroading over there is so different

from that of the United States. This is "some railroading" over here, he

eays.

"It is a funny sight to be in the

yards at night with about half a dozen Frenchmen trying to switch out two or three cars." he says. "A red light flagging a train means to go

ahead and raising the red light up and down means to stop. A French

high ball is swing a white light across

the track as we would to stop. And

If you don't keep on a close look out

you might get run over. v "When you hear an engine, or what

the French call a machine, coming

down the track whistling like h , that means brakes. They have the old hand brakes. One whistle Is to go, and two is to stop." PRIVATE JOHN W. TONEY. Det. 65th Engr., Co. A, A. P. O., 705, A. E. F., France.

Rest Billets Aren't as Easy as They Sound, Writes I. P. Davis

"Well, news is rather scarce at present, but scrapping isn't," writes Corp. I. P. Davis from a hospital where he was recuperating from a slight wound. He said he expected to be back on the firing line in a short while. , "There s a lot of things over here I would like to send home, but it's impossible because I'm not allowed to tell where I am. At any rate I'll bring something home from this country. Whenever we go out raiding our neighbors we always gat something such as wrist watches, helmets, sabers and ' so forth. ' I've had quite a collection but our officers made us throw them away. "We had just finished our tour of duty in the trenches and started on our second day in the rest billets, when the misfortune befell me. Now don't get the wrong impression of rest billets, for it Isn't as good as it sounds. Once there your work begins with a pick and shovel. If we straighten up a shell torn town, such as clean away buildings that fell over streets, sweep up all around, at times the odors are so awful we have to work with our gas masks on. "Take about fifteen brick houses broken up, add one bunch of shingled.

straw, a few pieces -of furniture, one piano, after stirred well, season with a variety of different caliber shells, then a few old field pieces. After boiled some time, drop in a few torn cats and "cookies," oats and chickens. Then being satisfied that you have it started, add some corpse, barbwlre entanglements, a few dugouts, staircases and watering barrels. After this is done, pour out on a flat surface and hang it on a wire entanglement to dry, and see what you have. "Now that is a shelled town, and we fatigue it up. "I hardly know how I'm going to stand it again after sleeping in an honest to good bed and between sheets. But I suppose after a week of it when I get my old company (of cooties) back on me, I'll feel fine. You know a soldier doesn't feel very well at night sitting at his post, maybe out in No Man's land, unless he has company. And the cooties "sho" can entertain. "I've had some few trials in speaking French. After you bat both eyes, work your ears, sneeze a few times, force a few kinks in your neck, and make a face as if you sat on a tack, you'll succeed in saying "oui," ,wee(, meaning yes."

DRAFT DELINQUENTS TO BE ADVERTISED

The law makes It necessary to advertise the list of delinquents, stated a member of the conscription board this morning. There are about 25 who have not sent in questionnaires

j and who have not been granted an ex

There are only three questionnaires which have not been sent out. The names of the men are Charles Stanley of Boston, Clarence Garrett whose adriraaa VL'na p-ivon aa EVnrb anH faln

dress was 320 North Fifteenth. If there Is anyone who knows how these persons may be reached the conscription board would be very glad to be notified.

American Negro Soldiers Source of Continuous Interest to French

(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE, Oct. 3. Correspondence of the Associated Press. American negro soldiers in France are a source of never-ending interest and amusement to the French, who do not tire of watching and listening as they wield picks and shovels, and chant as they work in a wierd minor key. They have shown a fearlessness amounting almost to utter indifference if their white officers are with them a carelessness where personal danger is involved that i3 at once amazing and sometimes annoying to the officers and a desire to fight that amounts to a mania. The American negro soldier, in the words of a colonel who commands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their characteristics, is very close to a fatalist when it comes to fear. Repeatedly his own troops bandy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows: "Don't worry about that shell, Rastus. It ain't got your number on it." And the shell screams by, the negroes who believe it had not their number stand idly around and expose themselves as they should not. The colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are flying about, and seeks cover. The first regiment which went into

action long ago now, went in primarily because it threatened to decimate itself in inactivity. Razors and knives came more and more freely into play, and the men demanded so frequently and so insistently of their officers why they might not get some action that it was finally arranged for them. They proved quite as strenuous fighters in the line as they had behind it. It goes without saying that the negro soldier is as boastful as any in a similar profession. The Marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chateau-Thierry fight when a delegation from a negro regiment in line in a quiet sector waited on the commanding officer and asked if they too might' not get in on the "fun." "Let us go in, colonel" they said. "We are the only real fighters. The Marines are all right, of course, but just let us have a whack at the Boche. Then the Marine won't be in it. And as for the rest, Lord they don't count at all."

America Ready for Effort Great as Necessary to Gain a Victory, Says Joffre (By Associated Tress) PARIS, Oct. 3. Marshal Joffre, former Premier Vivlanci and Captain Andre Tardieu, head of the General commission for Franco-American war matters, were recently asked by the Magazine Lectures Pour Tous to give an outline of what could be expected from the American effort toward deciding the war. In his answer Joffre wrote: 'From the moment of my return from Washington, I have affirmed my conviction in the realization and effect of America's aid, of which I clearly foresaw the full magnitude. The American aid is today a reality. I re

joice to see that America is ready for

an effort as great and as prolonged as will be necessary. It is a certain guarantee of our common victory."
