reach Army Far Hans as Light a 20c
a Day for Trench Fishtlng Yf
and Old German Captured.
If you car to fight for the allies on
the European war front and decide to
Join the French forces you can earn
6 rents a day back of the firing lines
and 30 cents a day while in the
tranches. That is the pay of the French
lu, said John Piatt. Portland boy,
l.Jt returned from several months' am
, iJuiance worlc with the French army, in
speaking- before the Progressive Busi
ness Men's Club yesterday at the Hotel
Benson.
Mr. Piatt made an interesting talk
of his experiences and told how "boys
of 17 and 18 and men of 45 predom
inated among the prisoners being taken
now by the allies and declared that the
rations now being given the German
soldier is just one-third that which
was allowed by the German govern
ment at the beginning of the war. He
aid. however, that, the German soldier
Is still- most confident of winning the
war and that it would take some
months to break this confidence, as
there exists on the German side a feel
ing that America cannot and will not
play a very large part in the active
conflict. These facts have been gleaned
first-hand by Mr. Piatt In conversa
tion with captured Teutons brought
back from the firing lines by the
1'rench.
Mr. Piatt declared that the American
a pie could not praise too highly the
mch people and soldiers for their
riflce, bravery and confidence dis
played in the war and only hoped that
now that America is one of the allies
that self-same spirit would be imbibed
by all Americans.
