TROQ FROM THET fThey Were Tired, Dirty With Mud "Pep"?No Illusions Eithei ot War, or the EndT or the Price I I On a beautiful spring morning I left a certain French headquarters. Our object was to rendezvous with American staff officers who were going to take us to see something of the United States expeditionary force. The guns on both sides were silent, the roads were losing their night traffic. Hour after hour sped by, the sun's heat increased, but, though we lost our first freshness, we could not lose that feeling of anticipation that we were going to sec something wonderful, to be witnesses of the working of a force in history, a sight that tens of years hence we should still be relating to our grandchildren, writes Geoffrey Butler in the New York TV Ui iU? The approach of our destination was not unheralded. More and more frequent on the road we passed the green-gray motor trucks with boys from home in charge, khaki-clad and helmeted with a tin helmet different from the French, flatter, more like a soup plate than the casque of a medieval knight, in armor, such as the Poilu wears. Old stagers at the front . tell one that you may know the dis- j cipline of an army from the way it keeps its place on the road. 1 Do the vehicles straggle into the middle of the roadway, thus blocking other traffic? Theii the discipline is bad and organization will .generally be awry. Do the men on tl*e box +n thp nnssinsr of an Oillili L1J JL tc^/vau cv ?.MV ?0 officer? Then, sure enough, the relation between officers and enlisted men is cordial and satisfactory. An Orderly Transport Train. It was fine to see each motor lorry i hug the road's extreme right edge and j every column of these United States transport wagons neatly and regularly ' space'd, while there never was any I shirking, never an intentional ana! timely glance the other way. "Old j Glory" on our car, the United States j uniform within, always elicited a j smart salute from the enlisted man in j r'hfiror.o of everv Dart.v, from the others J a friendly hand wave ana a shouted j message. j We approached a village and on the j village green we saw a car or two of ; transatlantic make?unwonted sight ' amid the motorcars of France. I j changed my car and sat with a colo- ' nel holding a big position on the staif j of Pershing. Wirh us his assistant I ^ i and Pomeroy Burton of London and I New 'York, now head of the British ! war mission in Paris, the latter just back from, and very full of, a wonderful and minute inspection of the United States lines of communication, which he prophesies will, when allowed to be described in print, provide the newspaper sensation of the day in Europe and America.* We had a longish run in front of us and there was time to settle down to an interchange of talk. It was new to the Americans to get a man from v..-* ,-, n-o woro submitted to the i livuic ami in, iiv> v completest cross-questioning that I have ever had to undergo. Of every -city an'! community in the J United States I could say to ea^h in turn: "Do you know how the memory i and lcve of you has been carried j overseas? Do you know how the anxieties, the heartaches, the desires fulfilled, the loves and lives and occupations of past days that you may have regarded as over and gone forever are living once again, re-enacted in the memory of soldier men 3.000 to 6,000 miles away from home, with little prospect of return till war is finished?" J "/ I omeric Company."' Then it was our turn to put the questions, and as the long line of ? nf t-hp TOilriwaV trees o*i t'uua oiu^ ~ w flashed behind us we were admitted to the fellowship of the company of United States fighters, worshipped its heroes, learned of its achievements. They are in truth an Homeric company. seasoned by frontier fighting, masters of the war cunning of the Filipino or of the Mexican, sons of service, yet very much alive to new conditions. Was there not Mnjor X, who, to teach his men the possibilities of accurate machine gun fire, drove his own auto 15 yards along parallel to and in * I front ot tne uuriiige put m> u<l ^? , company lie was training? Or Lieutenant Y, most daring of most modern jockeys, who drove his mobile tank down a disused well to demon' strate its climbing powers? There was the young quartermaster corps lieutenant placed in -charge of : a transport from the other side, who, { with the help of his minute squad on board, had placed half the ship's officers and crew in irons for the breach of a regulation concerning the interpretation of which there was ground " for legitimate dispute. On arrival his chief, more skilled in * the interpretation of service regulations, yet wise in the wisdom of ? many years' service with Uncle Sam, was broad enough to adopt the reatl;r,,r r>f thp regulation so drastically " suppressed, and at the same time to commend the boy for his pluck and - vi^or. ri Other stories there were too that one had heard in olh^r dress 6the: 'BAPTISM OF FIRE" and Stains of Battle, but Full 01 t> no +n Hlnrv nr Panpantrv I CIO IV/ Miwi j V| c MgvuMti J hey Were Pursuing to Be Paid. persons on other sectors of the front What matter? Heaven bless the anecdotal exchange which indicates a common point of view between all the allies on the western front. Even by now, I stake my life, there are plenty of exclusive American war stories for men to tell in later days at the gathering together of American branches of the veteran societies of the great world war. Of a sudden we drew up in the out?i-i?J? Tn ^i?Anf 11C SKirtS Ul cL Vliiu^c;* xu iii'iii vi. uu| about a hundred yards away, we saw a double line of troops far as the eye could see, drawn up as if for inspection by a little group of officers clustered round a clearing on the right. Our cars came to a stand-still by a group of women dressed in nurses' uniforms, who looked up with a smile as we alighted. I thought at first that they were French, but a second glance detected some rather extra trimness of costume, and in a ' 1 TTlfll minute we were iu luuvciaauuu mui some bright American girls, taking a minute's rest after several long hours irf the local casualty station. They amplified what our host, the colonel, had predicted, and we learned that we were face to face with United States troops straight from the firing line. It appeared that they had passed a stormy night in the trenches, been attacked, had beaten off attacks, suffered casualties, and been relieved when all was once more trniet. Straight From the Firing Line. It was a jaoving instant when we passed into the presence of the troops &nd saw them straight from their baptism of fire. The commanding officer received us warmly, hut begged us to j;o down anions the men and make their'acquaintance face to face. The ?

They said they got their mail regularly, and that the food was good. Secretary Baker seemed to have won laurels on his tour in France. More than one man mentioned his visit as a real visit from way back home, and an incident that made home nearer. One man sent a message of thanks to the New York Sun for cigarettes. Sev eral sent their messages to relatives and friends. Very brave and uncomplaining were these men who had that morning stared death out of countenance. Like other seasoned troops of other armies, they had no illusions as to the glory or the pageantry of war; but they were men^ too, with' no illusions as to the end they were pursuing or the price they were prepared to pay for it. That, I thiak, was the spirit that animated them within. Outwardly one only noticed their friendliness, natipnw and their soldierly ap |/U , ?? pearance? The "Mediatory Sacrifice/1 I walked back to our waiting motor with a Roman Catholic chaplain. The experience which I had just passed through made talk: seem incongruous, on my side at any rate, and we walked in silence. AVe passed the village church, a typical building of ik> interest at all, with a large notice announcing special masses, with an English sermon for the Catholic United States soldiers. "Not very easy to put your feelings into words, is it?" said my companion interpreting my thoughts. 4tIt is onlj in very old language am$ in very ole conceptions that we can find an equa tion able to express at all what th? * * on/? vr*V>o f- vv'( worm i? jiwuig uin/ui,u, ,mu see around us at th?* front." "You mean?" I answered- prizzlei!. "The world is learning a new lessor as to the iweaning of a mediatory sac rifiee!"
