(By Mall) ? Eight hundred odd Americana enlisted in the famous French Foreign Legion In the early pait of the war. The Legion, which Is one- of the finest fighting regiments In France, has par ticipated In nearly all of the big of-, fensives to date, and many of the American volunteers were killed or permanently wounded In these ac tions. The American contingent suf fered especially heavy during the big French offensive In Champagne last September, where, the regiment, as usual, covered Itself with glory. Since then, fully 50 of the Ameri can legionaries have been transferred at their own request into the Franco Amerienn Flying Corps; others have aecurod their discharge, while quite recently the remaining ones have manifested an ardent deaire to get Into the French regiments which the French government has finally per mitted them to do. The Legion at the present moment Is defending one^of (he more quiet sections of the French 'front, where the first line tranches run Just In front of one of the most beautiful and moat hiatorlc chateaus of Prance. The chateau Itself has been complete ly destroyed by the Germans, but the grounds, in which the Legion Is en camped, remain almost as beautiful as ever. The transfer of the legion Into this Ideal spot for a few weeks of quiet trench fighting Is In recompense for the brilliant part played by it 4a the early part of the Somme offen sive, where K suffered heavy losses. Almost the^ftrst man whom I met In the Legion, after the officers, was a 19-year-old boy of St. Louis, Mis souri. Although a member of the Legion for only the past nine months he Is proudly wearing the much cov eted decoration of the Croix de Quere which he won in a brilliant bayonet charge on the 8omme. Of the original 100 American vol unteers, who sailed from New York on the Rochambeau August 4, 1914, immediately following the declara tion of war, only four remain. These are a Lieutenant of Seatle, who 1b. undergoing special treatment at Par is for a bullet through the lungB; a sergeant of New Orleans, a private of 8an Francisco and a private of WGOLB ALLOW EMPLOYES OF THE GOVERNMENT TO REGISTER BY MAIL (Br United Prase) Washington. Nor. f. ? Urging that the drain on the time and pocket books of thoee In the sorviee of the Federal Government could -be cut In half. Secretary of Btaie Robert Lan sing has come out strongly in fsvor of legislation permitting voters to register by mall. Mr. Lansing point ed out that under the laws of most states at present It Is necessary for the roter to make the trip to his legal residence to register, and then either remain there until election day or stand the expense of coming back to Washington and returning to his voting place to go to the polls. Thousands of government employ es will lose their privilege of voting this year because of the prohibitive cost of making two trips to theh home towns. Secretary Lansing would cut this cost in half by enact ment of legislation permitting gov ernment employes to have their names placed on the voting lists by affidavit, without being compelled to register personally. He would ex tend this' power to the men outside the government by empowering the courts to accept registration affida vits and issue proper certifications. 8evera! states have taken up a movement of which Iowa was the pioneer, permitting both registration and voting by mall. New York. In the Legion's brilliant bayonet charges on the Somme three out of the four battalion commanders were killed, the remaining one, Comman dant Weddell. an Englishman, hav lng been decorated with the Legion [of Honor for his bravery. I Numerically, the Legion has suf fered heavily since the beginning of the war, owing to the large number of volunteers who hsve been released In order to return home and fight wit|f their own armies. The Italians for example, returned home when Italy declared war; the Greeks at the moment of Oreek mobilisation, and the Rumanians with their country's entrance into the conflict. 'Nevertheless, the Legion still has members from forty-eight different nations. One of the few Greeks re maining, told me he had come all the way from Jerusalem to fight for France and had preferred to remain rather thsn return to his own colors. Likewise, a remaining Italian, who had lived all his life only two days "on foot" from Rome without ever having seen the "Eternal City" had preferred to continue fighting for France rather than return to his na tive land.

The scores of men who have been trained In the past few months as telegraphers for England's new army are complain ing of "nerves." Several have claimed the work Is bo trying that they have found themselves attempt ing to read the Morse Code Into ev ery succession of sounds they hear.

The drumming of the rain on the roof, the clatter of the army service wa ganB and even the patter of machine gun bullets come to the ner^bus tele graphers as code messages.
