What All other agencies havo failed to dn,
these bflght-eyed Frenchmen nnd amiable

their Importance in tio world struggle.
The work of.theso men wio have fought

The Britishers who have paid dearly to

Meade, tho following precepts which will
guide their conduct when they go to France.
They are :

When tho tlmo comes for you to go

Carroll's father has lived In Kensington

Just back, of the crest will bo tho ilrst lino

In tho construction of tho system every
strategic consideration will be taken up.
A battalion at n time, the troops will be
put In tho pits nnd left there night and day
for un extended period, possibly a week.
Trench sanitation will be mastered ; every
thing will be a replica of tho west front In
Franco.
The hypothetical enemy positions arc
stronger "than theve chosen for tho Blue
und Gray to defend. The opposing crests
nro higher and behind them Is a better
shelter for artillery than tho terrain in the
rciir of the other positions affords. Blflo
and machine-gun flro will bo maintained

when onco tho trench system Is completed.
Tho rlflo ranges of the division will be

QUAKERS IN CANTONMENTS
. NOT ACCEPTING PAY
Clerk of Meeting of Orthodox Friends'
Representative Reports Men
Well Treated In Camp
Quakers aro being well treated In the
fantonments, although they have not ns yet
been nsslgned to nny duties nnd aro not
accepting any money In the nature of wages
from the Government, according to a report
by W. 11. Harvey, clerk of the meeting, at
tho adjourned meeting of the representa
tives of the Orthodox branch of the Society
of Friends at tho Meeting IIouso at Fourth
and Arch streets, today.
There Is some uneasiness among theso
young men at Camp Mcadc, however, ns
they prefer to bo at home serving the com
munity, rather than simply passing their
tlmo by reading nnd tnklng long hikes In
tho country. Mr. Harvey said that tho
Quakers had been unable to learn ns yet
from 1 f sldent Wilson Just how he con
templated having the non-combatants servo.
Whllo tho Quaker men nt tho training
camps nro accepting their lodging and food
from tho Government, slnco they were
forced to go there, they nrc not wearing
tho uniform, retaining their civilian cloth
ing, but they refuse to accept pay. Wherever
necessary they nro being supported by
Quaker funds.
Strong probability that the meeting of
representatives, ns such, will onco more re
vert to tho original organization as a
"meeting for sufferings," took shapo nt the
session today. So much of the business
beforo the meeting Is In lhinntur of pro
viding help for needy members, nnd espe
cially during mis period of war sacrifices,
that the sessions are becoming similar to
those of nmre than 100 years ago when the
"meeting for suffering" originated.
