and parts of songs. These words and
songs greeted the later soldiers, as,
for instance, when a division was
marching through a city In France
recently, a girl not more than five
years old trailed along, holding tight
ly to the coat of a soldier, and sud
denly burstlog Into song, "Hall, hall.
the gangs all here:: so what the hell
do we care now!" Her song upset the
