or Soldiers-is French Experiment in Humanity
By DAVID SCOTT
News Chronicle War Correspondent with the French Army
I HAVE just visited one of the curiosities of this war-a Red Cross town de- voted entirely to the care of the sick and wounded of the Army,
The town is Phalabourg,' in Alance; 25 miles behind the Front. It contains a casualty- clearing station, permanent hospitals, a great number of local ambulances, Red Cross transport parks, and store rooms for medical supplies and nothing.else belonging to the Army,
Not a single soldier in uni- form who does not belong to the Medical Service is allowed to enter Phalsbourg. The town contains no military headquar- ters except those of the Red Cross Services.
Not a gun, not a machine-gun, not a rifle, not an army furry, not a single item of combatant equipment is to be seen in its streets.
