SALONIKI, Dec. 11. Our ambu:
lance rushed ' down the mountain
side, at French chauffeur speed and
into a valley behind Hill No. 515
which sheltered us from shell fire
and at last, we wore so far away from
artillery buttle that we could barely
hear the guns.
Valandova, an old Turkish village
in southern Serbia was to be our
stopping place. There, In the early
evening, General Baillaud, whose
brave troops nearly all of them
zouaves had fought their way to
Krlvolak and had there tried to
reach the Serbians and form a junc
tion with them, was to receive, with
field ceremonies, the order of mili
tary merit. But we were too late
The ceremony was over. However,
we were astonished to see in a Turk
ish mosque a French zouave-band..
It was the first band that any of
us had seen 'near any battlefront on
both sides. Hand music hasn't much
place in this grim war. There were
ninety musicians and five drummers
and they stood In the mud up to
their Bhoetops.
Can t you get them to play?", we
asked our guide. "It's, the first
band we ever saw near a battlefield."
"Will you write stories about It?"
asked the leader.
We said we would. Whereupon
standing in the mud. In the evening
dusk that was almost darkness, with
the Turkish mosque behind them and
two French officers standing fifty
feet above us in the minaret the
band struck up the song of a certain
regiment of the zouaves. ''
Some members of the band sanfi;
they played on their horns In relays
so that we had a chorus, a band and
a fife and drWm corps going all at
once. It was a rattling good tune,
and, as all zouaves are about the
desert and Egypt and Arabs, those
zouaves in Serbia didn't Bing of
Germans or Austrians or Bulgars.
but of their enomles of other wars.
A translation would go something
llko this:
"Iinng! Dang! the Arabs!"
The wolves aren't far away.
Forward! Hustle forward!
And lof your rifles play.
We gave three cheers for the band
and the band gave three cheers for
us; the bandmaster made us promise
again mat we would write a story
about how his band playod, and then
we were ordered to get back Into our
ambulance for the ride to Strumnitza
whore we were to spend tho night. If
you hear anyono'suy that there Is no
music in twentieth century warfare,
that men no longer die to Btirrlng
tunes, just tell your Informer that
he's wrong.
The French zouaves have a bnnd
and it goes with them right up to
the front and it plays while they

from their monntulntop trenches.
Wo were taken to a hospital tent
at Strumnitza and found a dozen
hospital cots ready for us and our
military guide. In the center of the
tent was a big wooden stove which
a huge French soldier kept filling
with firewood. The lights were can

I to another, in which lay 30 French
; soldiers whose feet had been frost
bitten.
"We start tomorrow for Paris,"
one of them said. "But It's a long
