THE "TOMMIES" A FRENCHMAN'S APPRECIATION.
(TIM^S AND STDNBT SUN SERVICES.) LONDON, sth March. A Frenchman living near La Basses writes: — "We are beginning to understand the spirit of your Tommies. One day they lose several trenches. That doesn't upset them or us. We know that they will keep their pledged word to retake them. I met a British company returning after four days in the trenches. They didn't look like humans. There was no trace of a uniform. The men were merely walking blocks of mud. They could hardly walk, pool* fellows. We can never over-estimate what they are doing for us. Despite discomfort, they never complain. They are just as keen, as on the first day."
