(By mail) -Annd-mite troops, ."the little brown men," of France's colonies in Indo-China have iust .had their baptism of fire on the western front. , . .1 The Annamites are the smallest men participating in the European iconflict, yet they have acquitted themselves . in the fighting in a manner that gives them rank along side with the troops of greater physical endowment. The Annamite battalions are composed entirely of volunteers. Their first public appearance was on July 14, 1916, th'e French national holiday, when along-the Russians, Ca nadians, . Jingush, Belgian and Australian troops, they, participated in the military parade at Paris. ' i'; ' ' Almost without exception they are students from the French schools, colleges and universities in Indo-China. The announcement there early m 1916, that volunteer battalions would be formed for service in France, resulted almost in the depletion of the French educational insti tutions. The students enlisted almost to n man. in tne oatiauon now serving m France are Annamites with the rank Lof count, with the rank of mandarin of the first, second and third clasa- (es, and with various other distinc tions of cast and nobility. Amongst themselves all the courtesies to which these ranks give title are .scrupulous ly observed. But when the battalions are formed for fighting or other service on the French front, the counts and the mandarins become merely the private soldiers that they temporarily are, and the brothers of all the rest. When the Annamites ' were first brought to Trance there was no idea of using them as fighting troops. Their small stature seemed to pre clude that. They were drilled and employed in all of the various ser vices of the rear, such as convoy chauffeurs, road builders, forestration work and similar occupations. Their constant proximity to the front how ever soon aroused in them an ardent desire to participate in the fighting, and now after a little more than a year of faithful service in the auxil iary service of the French army they have been given their chance to es tablish their right to be in the fight ing ranks. Their place there seema too, to have been permanently won. -; X 4 4f 4r & 4? 4' 4 4f 4 4? 4? 4 41 44,4,,t, M AZOLA A Pure Wholesome Refined Vegetable Cooking Oil for Salad Dressing Short ening and Doughnuts Pint Cans ....... 35c Quart Cans ,65c FRESH VEGETABLES For Your Sunday Dinner TOMATOES NEW CORN STRING BEANS PEAS CUCUMBERS CABBAGE BEETS i CARROTS TURNIPS GREEN ONIONS FRESH FRUITS PEACHES WATERMELONS CANTELOUPES BLACKBERRIES CHERRIES APPLES (BANANAS ; ORANGES LEMONS The Mammoth Grocery Phone Main 82 1211 Adams Avenue Non-Corn.
