as former premier of France, is by
custom entitled to entry to the floor
but the rule makes no provision for
such a dignitary as Marshal Joffre.
BY unanimous consent. however, the
Senate rules were suspended TO permit
the marshaTs appearance with NJ. Wv
iani and the Senate took recess in
the midst of consideration of the army
bill, to receive the visitors. The gall
leries were packed with distinguished
visitors.
Vviani. who delivered an address in
French, was roundly applauded. When
he concluded and the party started to
leave the chamber the Senate to
man. scores of representatives who
came over from the House, and the
crowded galleries, arose and cried,
"Joffre! Joffre! Joffre!" The gray
haired marshal of France returned to
the roStrum and in an instant the
chamber was quiet. Then, waving his
cap before him, he bowed low and in
his soft voice said:
II do not speak English; viva La
Amerique."
Cheer after cheer greeted this, and
they ceased only when the hero OF the
Marine had left the chamber.
The French party was escorted to
the chamber by Senators Hitchcock
and Lodge as a committee. NJ. Niviani
accompanied Senator Hitchcock, Mar
shall Joffre was with Senator Lodge,
and Admiral Chocheprat entered with
Ambassador Jusserand. AS they cross
ed the Threshold Of the Chamber, two
small pages saluted gravely and Mar
shall Joffre as gravely returned the
greeting.
Amid applause from the floor and the
galleries M. Viviani took place on
the rostrum at the right of Vice Pres
ident Marshall, while Marshal Joffre,
in full uniform, stood at the left. Mem
bers of the Marshars staff and Off
Gals of the mission ranged themselves
at the left Of the chamber.
When applause, which lasted several
minutes, subsidized, the Vice President
said: The Senate of the United States

tors to the republic. 1t has the honor
Of receiving General Lafayette and
