Paris, Saturday, Dec. 9, 1939
Epinards Are Spinach
The chefs in America have
just had their first Culinary
Congress with a four-day ses
sion in New York. They agreed
that a knowledge of French was
essential in mastering the culi
nary profession, but they added
that chefs had no business
practicing their knowledge of
French on bills of fare placed
before their clients. “Pommes
frites” will have to stay as
“French fried potatoes” and
“ragout d’agneau k l’indienne”
is going to be “lamb stew,” if
the chefs have anything to say
about it.
For those cosmopolitan Amer
icans who make frequent trips
to Europe or who live here, the
difficulties of the struggle with
a menu printed in French
seems unimportant. However,
the big furniture man from
Grand Rapids or the wholesale
grocer from Kansas City, prob
ably has a difficult time when
he reaches a plush hotel or res
taurant dining-room where he
needs a pocket dictionary to find
what he is ordering. When
a “pot|ge Saint-Germain” turns
out to be green-pea soup, and
when sVnoix de veau jardiniere”
is me$sly a piece of veal with
some fresh vegetables, it really
is small wonder that the high-
powered executive becomes
exasperated and wishes he had
studied French when he went to
high school.
It seems that all Frenchmen
are cobks, and certainly the best
cooks in the world are either
French or have had their train
ing among the copper pots and
pans in a Gallic kitchen. French
is a language of diplomats and
of cooks. But as long as the
dishes are prepared according to
the rules laid down scores of
years ago by French masters of
culinary art, it makes little dif
ference whether chicken and
rice is called “supreme de vo-
laille au riz” or plain “chicken
and rice.”
There are so many shades of
differentiation in the nomen
clature of French dishes that
the exacting gourmet who knows
what he wants will continue to
think in French when he thinks
of food. One practical sugges
tion which did come out of the
congress was that the chefs
warned that restaurant bills of
fare include too great a variety
of dishes to guarantee proper
service and individual prepara
tion. The chefs said that many
menus were so long that they
were financially unsound.
Fewer dishes and better ones
is our restaurant motto for
America in 1940.

Mobilized Artists’ Work Shown
At Galerie Bernheim Jeune
Many Well-Known Painters Represented Among More
Than Hundred Whose Canvases Have
Been Entered in Exposition
By B. J. Kospoth
War is a leveler, and artists must ac
cept the common destiny of men and
fight in the defense of their country
when it is attacked. Most French
artists of military age have been called
to the colors like their predecessors in
1914. It is therefore only fair that
they should be given an opportunity
to show their works in Paris while they
are at the front.
The exhibition of works by “Mobil
ized Artists,” organized under the pa
tronage of Georges Huisman, director
general of Beaux-Arts, now open at the
Galerie Bernheim Jeune, fulfils this
aim. All artists at present serving in
the French Army, without distinction,
have been invited to participate in the
show. More than a hundrea have re
sponded. Their works, while inevitably
of unequal merit, are often striking.
Mostly Young Men
To be mobilized is, in general, to be
young. Most-, of-the “Mobilized ArtistsT
are young men and their paintings and
sculpture, while not invariably perfect,
have the appeal of youth. They are
the successors, in 1939, of that genera
tion of artists that fought at the Marne
and in the trenches in what is now
beginning to be called the “Four-Year
War” and that later became world-
famous as the “Paris School.”
The survivors of that heroic period
have stressed this affinity by sending
some of their works to the exhibition.
Maurice Vlaminck, Othon Friesz, Mau
rice Denis, Utrillo, Marquet, Segonzac,
Waroquier. Despiau, Bonnard, Ceria
and others, who won fame in the
World War decade, are participating
as veterans in the show staged for the
recruits of today.
General Represented
Not all the exhibitors, by the way,
can be described as recruits. The term
certainly does not apply to General
Requin, now commanding a group of
armies on the Western front, who is
represented at the show by forceful
works of sculpture. To many people
it will be a revelation that General
Requin, besides being one of France's
foremost soldiers, is a sculptor of gen
uine talent.
Among the numerous other artists
now wearing their country’s uniform
somewhere on the Maginot Line are:
Jean de Botton, Yves Brayer, Mane
Katz, Planson, Brianchon, Despierre,
Clairin, Fonatara Rosa, Terechkowitch,
Vertes, Hambourg, Bezombes, Jean
Sala, Auriscote. Belmondo, Hilbert,
Lang, Basler, Zyr, Vauber, Parturier,
Savreux, Ich6 and Escholier. They are
all represented at the exhibition by
works indicating personality and pro
mise.
other works on display are for sale,
with prices ranging from 3,000 to 300fr.
The work shown is vigorous, with
emphasis on “straight” landscapes,
portraits and scenes of Paris. Among
the paintings hung are a number from
the private collection of Noel Coward,
lent for the' show.
Several catch the eye of the visitor,
whether he be artist or dilettante,
among them a large portrait of St.
Francis of Assisi by Kalebdjian, a
landscape by Guilbert, another by
Remy, a delightful watercolor by
Brayer, a vivid study in yellow called
“Ajaccio,” by Maurice, and another
study in yellow and brown by Made-
lain, titled “Igui.”

tion, employment at the Philadelphia

It has been disclosed that labor
leaders representing artists, stage hands

Troops Undaunted; They Are Ready for Long War;
Make Most of Rest Hours in Village Behind Front
By John Elliott
Herald Tribune Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY SOME
WHERE IN LORRAINE, Dec. 8. — I
have just been spending a few days
with a famous French colonial division
which is now spending a well-deserved
period of rest in a village in Lorraine,
behind the Maginot Line, after serving
for some time at the front. They were
up in the line somewhere in Lorraine
and have had many an exciting brush
with the Germans. Their losses have
been very small, but several of them
have won the Croix de Guerre or the
Medaille Militaire in the fighting. On
the other hand they frankly admit they
captured only a few German prisoners.
The morale of these French soldiers
is admirable. Like Oliver Cromwell’s
Ironsides, these poilus “know what they
are fighting for and love what they
know.” They admit that the war may
go on for two or three years but they
are prepared to see it through to the
end. They say that France has had
to go to war against Germany three
times within seventy years—1870, 1914
and now in 1939—and they are fed up
and don’t want it to happen again.
After War What?
Most of them think that Germany
will have to be divided up when peace
is made to render it powerless to dis
turb the peace in the next generation,
but some would be satisfied with France
having control of the left bank of the
Rhine. The word “boche” is creeping
back into the vocabulary of the average
soldier as the name for the German,
but there is no hatred of the enemy.
Indeed, the courage and professional
skill of the German soldier is openly
acknowledged and praised.
Most of the French privates and
non-coms in this division are sturdy,
healthy fellows, who come mainly from
the center and the west of France. The
junior officers are for the most part
reservists, but their leaders are colon
ial officers, who have seen fighting all
over the world. Most of them come
from the French colonies in Africa
and admit finding it difficult getting
adjusted to the chilly, rainy weather of
a Lorraine winter after the tropical
climate of Africa.
American Slapped by Nipponese
Policeman on Ship
SHANGHAI, Dec. 8. — Commander
William A. Glassford jr. of the United
States Yangtse Patrol left for the
Chinese river port of Wuhu aboard
the U.S.S. Luzon today following the
incident yesterday in which a For
mosan member of the Japanese police
struck an American Navy purchasing
officer after trespassing on a United
States Navy lighter in an effort to in
spect naval stores.
W. N. Russel, the purchasing of
ficer, retaliated by forcibly removing
the Formosan from the lighter, where
upon the American was turned over to
municipal police. He was later re
leased. Commander Glassford is re
ported to be considering protesting the
incident.
Paris Gunfire Just Practice
Gunfire frequently heard in Paris
during the daytime at present is caused
by experimental exercises and should
not be confused with anti-aircraft fire,
French military authorities announced
yesterday.
Many Officers Speak English
A surprising number of these French
officers speak English well. A good
many of them picked up English while
acting as liaison officers with the
American Expeditionary Force in the
World War, but one of them is by
birth an American citizen. He was
born in San Fraricisco, the son of a
naturalized Frenchman, and only came
to France when he was fourteen years
old. Another French officer in this
particular division served with Kol
chak in Siberia in 1919 and spoke Rus
sian fluently.
But perhaps the strangest case was
that of a lieutenant, who, after fight
ing four years in the German Army in
the World War as a private, is now serv
ing in the French Army in this war.
He is an Alsation, who was born during
the German occupation of that pro
vince.
The French Army must be surely
the most democratic army in the world.
The comraderie between the officers
and the rank and file is remarkable.
It is really a “people’s army.” The at
titude of one colonel was that of a
father to his children, and I admired
the way in which he could speak to his
men familiarly without losing any of his
dignity or his authority. He bears one
of the most famous names in France
and I suppose he is literally a born
leader.
Heads Reconnaissance Group
He commanded the reconnaissance
group in the division. This is a branch
of the service that was unknown in
the World War and was. I believe,
created in the French Army about
1930. These men have an especially
dangerous mission to fulfill. It is their
job to provide the patrols and scouting
parties that make raids in no-man's
land and in the enemy territories in
search of information. They are the
advance guard of the infantry in this
war. Every division in the French
Army has a reconnaissance group,
which numbers about 700 men.
In the month that this group was at
the front, two of its soldiers won the
Croix de Guerre and another was
awarded both the Croix de Guerre and
the Medaille Militaire for courage in
action. They were proud of the tro
phies they had brought back from the
bit of Germany they had occupied, In
this Lorraine village, a letter box was
placed which bore the words “Deutsches
ReichspostIt formerly hung in a
German hamlet. A still more enviable
trophy was a huge Nazi swastika ban
ner belonging to a German radio as
sociation which had been removed
from the town hall of that place by
two soldiers in this regiment. It now
hangs in the officers’ mess.
The division, scattered in a number
of small villages clustered together,
was enjoying its holiday from the
front. So were the little children of |

the neighborhood to whom the pre
sence of the soldiers was a great treat.
They particularly relished hearing the
regimental bands play in the evening.
Concert in Barn
Occasionally a regiment will give a
“musicale” in the village in which it is
billeted. I was invited to attend one
of them. It was held in a barn which
was connected by a door with the ad-
jacent house of the peasant and his
family. The colonel and his staff oc
cupied the front row in the barn and
chairs were provided for the women
and children of the village. But the
soldiers who formed the great majority
of the audience stood or sat in the
hayloft.
The regiment was raked for talent.
Sufficient musicians were found to form
a jazz orchestra. One of its members
used to play the accordeon in the Bal
Tabarin at Paris in peace time and a
violinist was a grand prize winner at
the Paris Conservatory of Music. The
French soldier seems to prefer this
form of entertainment to the mass
singing that was so popular with the
American soldier in the last war.

Epinards Are Spinach
The chefs in America have
just had their first Culinary
Congress with a four-day ses
sion in New York. They agreed
that a knowledge of French was
essential in mastering the culi
nary profession, but they added
that chefs had no business
practicing their knowledge of
French on bills of fare placed
before their clients. “Pommes
frites” will have to stay as
“French fried potatoes” and
“ragout d’agneau k l’indienne”
is going to be “lamb stew,” if
the chefs have anything to say
about it.
For those cosmopolitan Amer
icans who make frequent trips
to Europe or who live here, the
difficulties of the struggle with
a menu printed in French
seems unimportant. However,
the big furniture man from
Grand Rapids or the wholesale
grocer from Kansas City, prob
ably has a difficult time when
he reaches a plush hotel or res
taurant dining-room where he
needs a pocket dictionary to find
what he is ordering. When
a “pot|ge Saint-Germain” turns
out to be green-pea soup, and
when sVnoix de veau jardiniere”
is me$sly a piece of veal with
some fresh vegetables, it really
is small wonder that the high-
powered executive becomes
exasperated and wishes he had
studied French when he went to
high school.
It seems that all Frenchmen
are cobks, and certainly the best
cooks in the world are either
French or have had their train
ing among the copper pots and
pans in a Gallic kitchen. French
is a language of diplomats and
of cooks. But as long as the
dishes are prepared according to
the rules laid down scores of
years ago by French masters of
culinary art, it makes little dif
ference whether chicken and
rice is called “supreme de vo-
laille au riz” or plain “chicken
and rice.”
There are so many shades of
differentiation in the nomen
clature of French dishes that
the exacting gourmet who knows
what he wants will continue to
think in French when he thinks
of food. One practical sugges
tion which did come out of the
congress was that the chefs
warned that restaurant bills of
fare include too great a variety
of dishes to guarantee proper
service and individual prepara
tion. The chefs said that many
menus were so long that they
were financially unsound.
Fewer dishes and better ones
is our restaurant motto for
America in 1940.

Mobilized Artists’ Work Shown
At Galerie Bernheim Jeune
Many Well-Known Painters Represented Among More
Than Hundred Whose Canvases Have
Been Entered in Exposition
By B. J. Kospoth
War is a leveler, and artists must ac
cept the common destiny of men and
fight in the defense of their country
when it is attacked. Most French
artists of military age have been called
to the colors like their predecessors in
1914. It is therefore only fair that
they should be given an opportunity
to show their works in Paris while they
are at the front.
The exhibition of works by “Mobil
ized Artists,” organized under the pa
tronage of Georges Huisman, director
general of Beaux-Arts, now open at the
Galerie Bernheim Jeune, fulfils this
aim. All artists at present serving in
the French Army, without distinction,
have been invited to participate in the
show. More than a hundrea have re
sponded. Their works, while inevitably
of unequal merit, are often striking.
Mostly Young Men
To be mobilized is, in general, to be
young. Most-, of-the “Mobilized ArtistsT
are young men and their paintings and
sculpture, while not invariably perfect,
have the appeal of youth. They are
the successors, in 1939, of that genera
tion of artists that fought at the Marne
and in the trenches in what is now
beginning to be called the “Four-Year
War” and that later became world-
famous as the “Paris School.”
The survivors of that heroic period
have stressed this affinity by sending
some of their works to the exhibition.
Maurice Vlaminck, Othon Friesz, Mau
rice Denis, Utrillo, Marquet, Segonzac,
Waroquier. Despiau, Bonnard, Ceria
and others, who won fame in the
World War decade, are participating
as veterans in the show staged for the
recruits of today.
General Represented
Not all the exhibitors, by the way,
can be described as recruits. The term
certainly does not apply to General
Requin, now commanding a group of
armies on the Western front, who is
represented at the show by forceful
works of sculpture. To many people
it will be a revelation that General
Requin, besides being one of France's
foremost soldiers, is a sculptor of gen
uine talent.
Among the numerous other artists
now wearing their country’s uniform
somewhere on the Maginot Line are:
Jean de Botton, Yves Brayer, Mane
Katz, Planson, Brianchon, Despierre,
Clairin, Fonatara Rosa, Terechkowitch,
Vertes, Hambourg, Bezombes, Jean
Sala, Auriscote. Belmondo, Hilbert,
Lang, Basler, Zyr, Vauber, Parturier,
Savreux, Ich6 and Escholier. They are
all represented at the exhibition by
works indicating personality and pro
mise.
other works on display are for sale,
with prices ranging from 3,000 to 300fr.
The work shown is vigorous, with
emphasis on “straight” landscapes,
portraits and scenes of Paris. Among
the paintings hung are a number from
the private collection of Noel Coward,
lent for the' show.
Several catch the eye of the visitor,
whether he be artist or dilettante,
among them a large portrait of St.
Francis of Assisi by Kalebdjian, a
landscape by Guilbert, another by
Remy, a delightful watercolor by
Brayer, a vivid study in yellow called
“Ajaccio,” by Maurice, and another
study in yellow and brown by Made-
lain, titled “Igui.”

broke, Pelissier fled to Morocco, where
he was arrested. He was brought un
der strong guard to Paris, but suc
ceeded in escaping from the Sante
Prison with th.b,.assistance of,his wife,
known as “Cri-Cri.” This time, he got
as far as Manchukuo.
Apparently Pelissier’s affairs did not
prosper in the Far East, for he re
turned to Europe. He was, arrested in
Belgium and extradited to France. Of
all Stavisky’s henchmen, Pelissier
alone proved his gratitude for past
benefits by providing for the “hand
some Alexandre’s” widow when she
was left destitute after her husband’s
death.

Troops Undaunted; They Are Ready for Long War;
Make Most of Rest Hours in Village Behind Front
By John Elliott
Herald Tribune Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY SOME
WHERE IN LORRAINE, Dec. 8. — I
have just been spending a few days
with a famous French colonial division
which is now spending a well-deserved
period of rest in a village in Lorraine,
behind the Maginot Line, after serving
for some time at the front. They were
up in the line somewhere in Lorraine
and have had many an exciting brush
with the Germans. Their losses have
been very small, but several of them
have won the Croix de Guerre or the
Medaille Militaire in the fighting. On
the other hand they frankly admit they
captured only a few German prisoners.
The morale of these French soldiers
is admirable. Like Oliver Cromwell’s
Ironsides, these poilus “know what they
are fighting for and love what they
know.” They admit that the war may
go on for two or three years but they
are prepared to see it through to the
end. They say that France has had
to go to war against Germany three
times within seventy years—1870, 1914
and now in 1939—and they are fed up
and don’t want it to happen again.
After War What?
Most of them think that Germany
will have to be divided up when peace
is made to render it powerless to dis
turb the peace in the next generation,
but some would be satisfied with France
having control of the left bank of the
Rhine. The word “boche” is creeping
back into the vocabulary of the average
soldier as the name for the German,
but there is no hatred of the enemy.
Indeed, the courage and professional
skill of the German soldier is openly
acknowledged and praised.
Most of the French privates and
non-coms in this division are sturdy,
healthy fellows, who come mainly from
the center and the west of France. The
junior officers are for the most part
reservists, but their leaders are colon
ial officers, who have seen fighting all
over the world. Most of them come
from the French colonies in Africa
and admit finding it difficult getting
adjusted to the chilly, rainy weather of
a Lorraine winter after the tropical
climate of Africa.
American Slapped by Nipponese
Policeman on Ship
SHANGHAI, Dec. 8. — Commander
William A. Glassford jr. of the United
States Yangtse Patrol left for the
Chinese river port of Wuhu aboard
the U.S.S. Luzon today following the
incident yesterday in which a For
mosan member of the Japanese police
struck an American Navy purchasing
officer after trespassing on a United
States Navy lighter in an effort to in
spect naval stores.
W. N. Russel, the purchasing of
ficer, retaliated by forcibly removing
the Formosan from the lighter, where
upon the American was turned over to
municipal police. He was later re
leased. Commander Glassford is re
ported to be considering protesting the
incident.
Paris Gunfire Just Practice
Gunfire frequently heard in Paris
during the daytime at present is caused
by experimental exercises and should
not be confused with anti-aircraft fire,
French military authorities announced
yesterday.
Many Officers Speak English
A surprising number of these French
officers speak English well. A good
many of them picked up English while
acting as liaison officers with the
American Expeditionary Force in the
World War, but one of them is by
birth an American citizen. He was
born in San Fraricisco, the son of a
naturalized Frenchman, and only came
to France when he was fourteen years
old. Another French officer in this
particular division served with Kol
chak in Siberia in 1919 and spoke Rus
sian fluently.
But perhaps the strangest case was
that of a lieutenant, who, after fight
ing four years in the German Army in
the World War as a private, is now serv
ing in the French Army in this war.
He is an Alsation, who was born during
the German occupation of that pro
vince.
The French Army must be surely
the most democratic army in the world.
The comraderie between the officers
and the rank and file is remarkable.
It is really a “people’s army.” The at
titude of one colonel was that of a
father to his children, and I admired
the way in which he could speak to his
men familiarly without losing any of his
dignity or his authority. He bears one
of the most famous names in France
and I suppose he is literally a born
leader.
Heads Reconnaissance Group
He commanded the reconnaissance
group in the division. This is a branch
of the service that was unknown in
the World War and was. I believe,
created in the French Army about
1930. These men have an especially
dangerous mission to fulfill. It is their
job to provide the patrols and scouting
parties that make raids in no-man's
land and in the enemy territories in
search of information. They are the
advance guard of the infantry in this
war. Every division in the French
Army has a reconnaissance group,
which numbers about 700 men.
In the month that this group was at
the front, two of its soldiers won the
Croix de Guerre and another was
awarded both the Croix de Guerre and
the Medaille Militaire for courage in
action. They were proud of the tro
phies they had brought back from the
bit of Germany they had occupied, In
this Lorraine village, a letter box was
placed which bore the words “Deutsches
ReichspostIt formerly hung in a
German hamlet. A still more enviable
trophy was a huge Nazi swastika ban
ner belonging to a German radio as
sociation which had been removed
from the town hall of that place by
two soldiers in this regiment. It now
hangs in the officers’ mess.
The division, scattered in a number
of small villages clustered together,
was enjoying its holiday from the
front. So were the little children of |

the neighborhood to whom the pre
sence of the soldiers was a great treat.
They particularly relished hearing the
regimental bands play in the evening.
Concert in Barn
Occasionally a regiment will give a
“musicale” in the village in which it is
billeted. I was invited to attend one
of them. It was held in a barn which
was connected by a door with the ad-
jacent house of the peasant and his
family. The colonel and his staff oc
cupied the front row in the barn and
chairs were provided for the women
and children of the village. But the
soldiers who formed the great majority
of the audience stood or sat in the
hayloft.
The regiment was raked for talent.
Sufficient musicians were found to form
a jazz orchestra. One of its members
used to play the accordeon in the Bal
Tabarin at Paris in peace time and a
violinist was a grand prize winner at
the Paris Conservatory of Music. The
French soldier seems to prefer this
form of entertainment to the mass
singing that was so popular with the
American soldier in the last war.
