French Firemen in Army
Firemen wear nutty uniforms, shining brass helmets like those of old-time cavalry Hussars in France. Tearing down the street on their engines an onlooker would imagine they were on military parade instead of chasing smoke. And they are on military parade, for the French man is a soldier, included in a special corps of the French army.
By PETER C. RHODES
There are 400,000 firemen in France, but only about a third are professionals and belong to the army, the remainder are irregulars or volunteers. Professional fireman's units exist in all large towns and cities, and participate in all military parades. But all firemen are organized on a centralized system and commanded in military fashion. They have military formations, the regular 25,000 firemen and officers. Each group composed of more than 25 is obliged by law to have a chief brass-bat with an officer's title.
The President of the republic, besides his other tasks, is also required by the same law to name all the officers of the French fire corps. The secretaries who do this work for the President report endless litigation over the naming of officers in the villages where the units are composed of volunteers. There is no trouble with the cities, the men are paid and do as they are ordered without too much snubbing.
There are 14,249 voluntary fire

tion. The professional firemen belong to their local military units and receive the same salary, treatment and benefits as members of the paid regular army.
The Fireman's Association became the sole voluntary section of the army. But its members are not
relied on of their regular army service. Nor were they able, in case of war, to stay at home on the basis of doing service in the local fire department. As the professional military firemen a units exist in all cities and large towns, only these remained in service during war time, but the firefighting apparatus called for no change because of war time mobilization. Local units in villages and townships were brought up immediately to standard size by the appointment by military commanders of
men from the reserve classes who thus obtained military training.
New 'Y' Secretary Talks to Cabinet
"Many persons in the national organization agree with me when I say that there is a greater challenge to the Christian organization on this campus than anywhere else in the country," said the new general secretary of the "YU," at the group's first cabinet meeting Sunday evening.
Moore, coming to the University from the University of Denver, succeeds John L. Hunt who resigned to accept the position as director of religious education at Haverford College, Haverford, Fa.
Moore was graduated from the University of Denver in June, 1936, with a bachelor of arts degree, served as general secretary of the Y. M.C.A. during 1936-1937, and received his master of arts degree last June.
