message to the people of America
from the friendly mission of the sis
ter republic of France was given out
here late today
Pressing demands for their pres
ence in France have caused NJ. vivt-
ami, former premier of France. and
Marshal Joffre to cut short their visit.
Their message today is couched in
warm words Of appreciation for the
reception they received here within
the borders of the newest ally. 1t
says:
The whole mission was deeply
gratified by the reception It met with,
and not only gratified. but surprised,
at the universal enthusiasm shown.
The trip was not only a most
pleasant one. but excited an intense
interest in all the members of the
party and increased their regret IN
being unable to extend their journey
further.
THE welcome was everywhere most
enthusiastic, yet varied, according to
the different places through which we
passed. and we shall return with a
feeling that, despite the variety OF
laeaH conditions that-we encountered.
the sentiment was everywhere unani-
nous, even if It's manifestations were
different.
Regret Inability to Visit Richmond.
Among many regrets there Is one

press, and that is that. despite It's
keen desire to do so, 1t was utterly

only consideration OF matters OF an
imperious nature could have pre-
vented II from visiting them. 1t had
