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

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:

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?

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

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

their'acquaintance face to face. The

"pep" and only aitscious to set a comeback
at the enemy. 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,

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
