' 'GERMANS HAVE ABSCESS

i> jLieutenant Picard Makes Num
: ber or inspiring Addresses ai

$? *' "The Germans have abscess of the

a*, 'that is full of dirty stuff?and we are
Jt to blow it out," said Lieut Jean
''i, JPIcard in an address in-one of the
'it: i Camp Greene "Y" huts on Thursday
blight "They are crazy," he said in
wjjn ( the course of his address, "else I canIv
t not account for the inhumanities
i Which they have practiced throughout
aft {the course of the war."
*V , Ia?uch stirring statements and with
; a personality that dominates and dev
lights his audiences, Lieut. Picard has
f quickened the spirit and enlightened
- number of soldier audiences at the
r.,.' idunp.ithis week. In the evenings he
has been speaking to tremendous audt&

V/,France. He lays a great deal of
v -stress on the manner in which the men
" vaiLOUld conduct themselves as regards
'? --.-wine a/td women. He asked the boys
remember tlmt the women ot
?v* ^France have made tremendous sacri;
flees; that most of them have sons
Jr '-fand sweethearts at the front; and he
wnbimed them to treat them with the
BBwspect that such patriotic sacrifice de"serves.
He also spoke to them plain? ?':?&
tlle danger of having anything
ftgfcfcto do with the prostitute olass, re?'
-minding them that a large percentage
r A of .this class are spies. He referred
BEplumorously to the practice of Amerlcans
in drinking to get drunk, but
" .warning them tiiat they must go slow
in .their consumption of wines and
beers.
Lieut. Picard spoke of the necessity
learning as much of the French
.xr^language as possible, lie told of sergeants
being ordered to billet their
' :men in French towns, and finding it
impossible to make their wants
known. "You are liable to be asking
: s tome housewife to let you have a
bed to eat and a roast chicken to
iraiteep on," he said.
? The speaker impressed on his hcar
'era the.;great valqe of proper training'
arid te strict observance of dls-^^pline..
Pointing his finger at the lismWiHng
men, he said: "Remember that
' .you are not going on a picnic, you're
- going over to kill Germans. If you
-'/ can throw the bayonet more skillfully
' than the German he will be killed and
jrpu will not be killed." He gave these
- striking figures to Illustrate the point.
. At" the beginning of the war France
lost six per cent of soldiers every six
months. Now, since she has really
.jst..'learned how to fight she loses only
K about one per cent for the same
' i- lenjtth of time.
?;* '- win counsel to the boys Is "What
ever happens to you, keep on smil.
lag." He told them that the English
French people have kept up their
courage through all of the hardships
r^"'th?y have had. "As for Russia," he
" said, "if the Russians do not fight we
- will fight the Russians battles on the
western front."

want to kill women and children you

you want to do a soldier's part you
can get along with a 21-lnch gun that
