THE AMERICAN VIEW.
QUIET MEN OF THE ARMY IN FRANCE.
SIGNS OF EFFICIENCY, The United Press, New York, published last month the following article by its correspondent with the British Army, Mr. William G. Shepherd -- -**
KLADQUARTERS OF THE BRITISH AEMY, NORTHERN, FRANCE.
Whatever is ahead, the Army of Si John French is ready for it. It is a good
Army.
The first thing that strikes you about the British Army is its quiet it, I saw six horses try to run away the other day when a regiment of men cheered Sir John French after he had thanked them in his quiet, hesitating way for the part they had taken in the battle of Neure Chapelle, Cannon the horsea know. Cheers are strange to them. It dawns on an Ameri- can slowly that, in the mind of an English Army man, noise, fuss, and efficiency do not go together.
Don't have any ceremony," sems to be the British Army man's idea of doing his job. A young officer was moving about a headquarters room in a farm house, up near the front, where we had gone in for some fiot tea. He chattod with the officers at the table about various things; about the Colonel's little daughter who was and had lived on four different continents; about a Hindu who had learn to speak French alinest perfectly within a few wreks; about other trivial things, and, all the time. he was packing his bag to take his men through a night march
the trenches where he would spend several days. They were talking about their muss. "We ought to have a French cook," he said, as he threw his bag over his shoulder and started for the door. That was his good-bye remark. He might never come back again. I saw him pat the old farmer's dog on the head as he passed through the yard, and the officers went on talking just ne if a man had not started off for death-land.
XO_WASTED ESERTIONS
In the midst of all this quict and informality and lack of fuss one begins, after a little time, to set signs of the utmost efficiency. On the battleground of Neuve Chapelle the fields are dotted with smal white signal boards. They were placed thera long before the battle to show regiments where to go when the battle began. I noticed many short ladders in the trenches which the British had left when they rushed on Neuve Chapello. "We made lots of those Indders and put them into our Arenches so that our men. could climb out quickly when the charge began," explained an officer. On the baltkheld one stes small bridges placed over ditches so narrow that any soldier could jump them with ease. They were for the Ten to use. Sir John French didn't want any waste motions or waste exertions in that hatte. We're goin to do this in the best way it can be done," he said.
To
The result of this quiet efficiency was that Neave Chapelle fell in one hour and a half instead of within 10 hours, the time that had been calculated. The only thing that splutters in this British Army is
wondering why theatres are run in INDIAN AFRICAN LINE.
Landon in war-time yost have only to come out here, where the audience is made up nightly of 3,000 or more men who have been in the trenches, face to face with death, and are going back again, and you will see the chtering values of theatrical amusements. The object of this theatre is to make the soldier behind the trench line forget all about the war. exactly the sinio object as the troparkablo new convalescent hospitals in the war zone

fair-sized town. It's a soldier's show. "The Follies" is a real theatre, in a The six men who make up the troupe were soldiers, excused front shooting and Sighting just because they child sing and dance and make other soldiers forget themselves. There are two performances a night; the place is always packed, and the British soldiers troop out happy and laughing. They do not go in companies, but in crowds, or singly, its they plenso, just as they would go to a show in London.
The night I saw The Follies! there werà Londen officers around me who en
joved the show as heartily, apparently, as if it had been given in a music-hall in London. The song hit of the night was this:
*Hear the military bank a-playing

THE SINKING OF THE "LUSITANIA."
The following statement was issued on the 12th-ult at the American Embassy in London:-
"As to the sinking of the ship (Lasi- tania) it appears from all statements which have been secured that no warning. face with death he said to his valet: Com the starbcard side and the ship listed be cause of the longitudinal character of the balkheads, the port air spaces resanining intact. Later she righted.
The sinking was in sixty fathoms, and the captain believes her nose touched the bottout before her stern disappeared, ne counting for the slight suction.
It seems from reports rather dubious whether a senud torpedo struck the ship. The sinking took eighteen minutes and occurred at 2.33 o'clock.
SAVING THE KIDDIES," There is on incident the world will remember-in connection with the sinking of the sitania," said the Bishop of Lon- testing dna white presiding at t of the Waifs and Strays Society. When fugs with death he said to his valet: Come Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was faen to add let us save the kiddifs.' - Thoss words will run round the world in a way no mil- lionaire's millions could ever do.

fying man had been ordered to hover over a certain spot during the battle of Neuve Chapelle. If he saw movements in a certain place bs was to send a certain signal to headquarters. It was a cold.. cloudy morning on March 10th. The flying man took his place in the sky and the battle was soolt, under way. He few over the appointed spot and found a mist below him, He climbed down and down to catch a glimpse of the movements, if possible. He couldn't see the earth Icoin a height greater than 400ft. And so, for over an hour, he speeded in a eircle around the spot. The busy Germans from time to time potted at him, but he stuck to the job until he saw what he wanted and then made the signal and elimbed into the sky.
KEEPING THE ARMY CLEAN.
A week with the British Army is divided into two parts. You spend the first part, if you are an American, learning that quietness and an absence of fuss does not mean inefficiency; you spend the second half in observing demonstrations of 100 per cent, efficiency. It is not only in the brilliant ends of war, like flying and fighting, that you see remarkable resulls attained; it is in the coinmon, every-day affairs of maintaining the Army aud keeping it happy.
I can show you a young English officer who probably wears & monocle, whose stride is Piccadilly, and who never loses his well-bred expression of being bored even while he is showing you over the great bath-house and laaudry, which he started some months, ago.
