Here it is not much different from other days; though in a nearby town there is quite a to-do about it. They profess great esteem for America, these French. Any day one can read in their papers, accounts of the debates in the national Chamber. They continually refer to America as an example of efficiency in conducting the war and unselfish idealism in entering it. And they’ve named everything after President Wilson, from avenues to soap.
Some men were wanted to watch some government property in the city near here and I volunteered. I hope I get the job; it will give me a chance to see more of the natives.
