FRENCH SOLDIERS FOR THE WAR.
Whatever may be the case in other countries it is "soldiers first" on the railways in France, and our picture shows the character of most of the travellers there. The feature of the present fighting on the Western front is the continued increase in the ranks of the Allies, who are thus able to claim that time is on their side. France is pouring out men for the fray in increasing numbers.
