James Boyd Says Story of World War Is Not An American Story Bases His Rema;rks op Belief That Effects of War in Amer ica Were Negligible Visiting* France Many on Honor Rolls in Cameron Schools Boys and Girls Make Enviable Records in Sc9iolars'hip and Attendance SON OF GENERAL KANE WINTERED IN SANDHILLS PRE-SCHOOL CLINIC AT ABERDEEN SCHOOL TODAY (The following interview with James Boyd, of Southern Pings, was procured by the United Press correspondent in Paris, where Mr. Boyd is spending the month of April.—Editor.) (By Mary Knight) Paris, April 24—(UP)—James Boyd, well known North Carolina nov elist, who spent 18 months as a lieu tenant in the ambulance service during the World War and who saw more of the different troops than many a corporal or a captain, says that no American will ever write the story of the World War because it is not an American story. “I don’t feel that the World War is an American story,” he told re porters on arriving in Paris, “and as I am interested primarily in the A- merican scene, I don’t look upon the Worl-d War as a story for me. I have never been able to see much of a change in the American people be cause of the World War, and fur thermore, it is difficult to detect any real understajiding of it. “On the other hand, one cannot spend more than two weeks in the South, say down in North Carolina where I come from, without being conscious that some kind of a war had a great and permanent effect down there. Of course it is the civ il War one feels and not the World War. “IVe never been able to get any real sensation of the effects of the World War except during my trips in France and Germany. It may be a brutal thing to say, but America JAMES BOYD didn^t lose enough men or substance so that a great war book could grow out of it.” Just who will write the ultimate record of the World War, Boyd is not certain about, but believes it will probably be a German, or, if not a German, a Frenchman, because the effects of the war on America seem almost negligible, in the basis (of Boyd’s believe that it is not an Amer ican story. He, himself, however, has written two war books—“Dr\ims”, and “Marching On.” The former deals with the war for independence and the latter is a story of the Civil War and its effects on the South, a section of the country about which he is well qualified to speak.
