ARIS, France; . Feb. 15. (Special Cor.) There is honor enough for all in ; the great .war, but as far as America is concerned, : we cannot give too much praise and ' recognition to the plain private soldier. He has emerged

from -the conflict, a fine figure of a man, modest unassuming, . stout of heart, and game to the core. One must see him on this side to appraise him at his true worth. ' "When all is said," an experienced American observer told me today, "the chief glory goes to the doughboy. He came over here from the farm or the Bhop, did what he was

told with a bravery and steadfastness of spirit never beaten,' and took his hurts without a whimper."

A visit to the American hospital at Neuilly furnishes evidences in plenty of the gameness of our boys. There one may see him wounded men who have been trussed uo io immovable po

sitions' for four months, but who are patioent and cheerful to a degree that is as surprising as it is moving. - A boy who has lost both legs and one arm jokes with a lad in a neighboring cot who cannot move. A private whose lower limbs are paralyzed feeds bits of doughnut to a boy along side of him who cannot move his arms, by means of a stick with a pin in one end, while both make jests about their helpless condition. My friend R. L. Goldberg, the cartoonist, visited this hospital a day or two ago, expecting to devote a few minutes to passing through the wards. Instead, be spent the whole afternoon, drawing pictures in boys' rte books and diaries, answering their questions about the good old homeland across the sea, and swapping jokes with them. Not a single word of complaint did he hear anywhere; not even from men who will go home terribly disfigured and maimed. No better proof of the inherent qualities of manliness and pure grit in our race could

be found than he saw there. He saw also American girls .who have spent

four years In this hospital, doing the hardest and most trying kinds - of work, month in and month out, without once wavering. Theirs is no sightseeing excursion. . America may be as proud of these women as it is of the courageous lads who have suffered on the battle! elds. Boys Long for Home. Ask an American soldier In the street what he would like to do best, and he will say: "I want to go home." Father and mother and sweetheart and the good old steady job at good pay look mighty attractive to him now that the war has been won, but he .will stay here patiently as long as he Is needed. A few nights ago a special performance was given at the Champs d'Elysee theater in honor of President Wilson by the Argonne Players, men of theatrical experience drawn from the

Seventy-seventh division, ' trained at Camp Upton. One. could easily tell by the applause from the top gallery when a comedian had touched upon some subject near to the doughboy's heart, "I'm going to look like a zebra,"

sang a stage private, "with service

stripes an over my cioines. At mis the very roof rocked. A ; comedian dressed up as ' a comic general declared that he didn't want any privates getting in his way when It came time to go down the gangplank at Hoboken. The high cost of living' was given some attention by a singer who announced: "I will now render a pathetic ballad dedicated to the girls of Paris, entitled, "Take it from me, they will take it from you.",They even took his identification discs, he complained, thinking they, were francs. - r "The wild female cooties are making a wild man of me," was the gist of another song. One also gathered that there is .something funny for soldiers about canned salmon, third lieutenants, military police, and the tendency of officers to carve the shelter of dugouts in times of shell strafing. American officers and soldiers make a very fine appearance about Paris,

and in other French towns where they are stationed. There are' no better looking men in any army. English officers are known for their high-bred and clean-cut appearance and for their trig uniforms. Our officers have a different appearance, not less attractive;

certainly not less to their countrymen.

papers. But you may take it from me that America's chief part was played by the doughboys, who walked right into the teeth of death without a whimper. You cannot say too much for them." . .

LEGISLATIVE WORK TO BE CONSIDERED AT LABOR MEETING

William New of the American Federation of Labor will address the labor mass meeting to be held in Lukens Hall Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. He will probably take up the matter of

a legislative campaign in this community. .

The following letter was received

Friday by a Richmond labor leader, concerning the meeting: "We are again appealing to you and

the workers of your locality for as

sistance In our legislative campaign.

"After a very unfair public hearing

on the women's eight-hour bill, which was held Tuesday, Feb. 11, at which time labor was refused a hearing, your legislative committee was publicly denounced from the floor of the legislature. Without your assistance, your committee stands convicted in the eyes of the public. "We wish to ask you to arrange for

a public mass meeting for Sunday aft-

William New, labor representative, will

be there to represent the State Federation of Labor legislative committee. We expect you to ihave a large crowd. Do not disappoint us. Please notify this office by wire Saturday what arrangements you have made, and with best wishes for sue- ' CHARLES FOX, President, ' ADOLPH FRITZ, Sec.-Treas., Indiana State Federation of Labor." It is expected that there will be other important announcements of interest to all workingmen of Richmond.

An American captain who saw a

great deal of fighting in various sectors told me in his opinion of the various armies. "Everyone gives the

Australians and Canadians deserved

credit for splendid fighting qualities,"

he said, "but it should not be forgotten that there are no better soldiers in the world than the guard regiments of England. Take the Coldstream and Grenadier Guards, for example. They are big fellows who know no fear, and who did some of the most brilliant fighting In the war. I mention them as typical of the British army. The Germans, you know, particularly feared the Scittish regiments. "The French, too, are wonderful soldiers. Their officers have had admirable training, and are exceptionally capable. They shine as strategists, and perhaps excel others in the care they take to reach objectives with fewest losses of men." The captain then spoke a word for the American infantrymen, the plain foot soldier. "The marines deservedly received a great deal of praise for their work at Belleau Wood and in other places," he continued, "and the artillery was often commended in the
