THE .FOREIGN LEGION.
v
France's Darius Corps Coxnposed of Social
. ..Y-i - Outcasts. ....
: No-questions are ever asked, of the m&c
Who wishes to become a " biribi, or mem
ber of that so called f oreign legion of the
French ariny to which is Invariably as
signed the most dangerous, duty in war,
and which, as a rule, leads a forlorn hope.
Whenever there are hardships to be borne
to which the authorities do not care to ex
pose the regular lino regiments the foreign
legion is invariably selected. -
Unlike other, French regiments, it is en
tirely composed of inen who have volun
tarily enlisted. Some are French, but
half of the corps are foreigners. A num
ber of Americans and Englishmen are in
the legion. There is scarcely a man in the
brigade who has not a history- of a more
or less romantic and frequently dramatio
character. Thus in one company were
found a Roumanian prince, who was un
der suspicion of having murdered his
brother; an Italian lieutenant colonel of
cavalry, bearing an illustrious name, who
had been disgracefully dismissed from
Kirig Humbert's army for cheating at
cards; a Russian nihilist prince, who had
escaped from Siberia; an ex -canon of the
cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, who had
been suspended from the ecclesiastical
functions for immorality; an English ex
major of hussars and a German count,
who had not only served as lieutenant
colonel in the First regiment of guards at
Bdrlin, but who had also held a position
on the military staff of the late emperor of
Germany.
Eight thousand men constitute the bri
gade known as the foreign legion, and of
these, at least 6,000 are men of education
and breeding. All these., men serve as
6imple privates in the ranks and are sub
jected to the iron discipline for which the
corps is celebrated. In no other European
army are the punishments so severe as in
the foreign legion. Composed as it is al-4
most entirely of social outlaws, men who
seek oblivion and court death, it is not as
tonishing that the utmost severity is nec
essary to preserve discipline. The slight
est offense or act of aggression against a
superior officer is punished with death.
Wheh a well behaved legionary is killed,
a lock of Woman's hair or faded portrait is
usually found nearest to his heart. It fre
quently tells better than wou1s;why tho
man sought oblivion in this brigade of
daredevil soldiers.
Many , of the best known names of
, France have figured at the haad of thess
regiments, among them, for instance, he--
ing those of Marshal Daaine, General Do
Negrier, General Duj. in, who so tiistin
guished himself by his cruelty duriir the
guerrilla warfare in ituidf, a:: a Lu,c, hut
