nees,' said Louis XIV when he mar
ried Spanish princess. There is
no longer an ocean, Gen. Pershing

| is about to mingle with ours the

fusion of Europe and America is the
enormous fact to note! Henceforth
there is but one human race, in the
| old world as in the new, and we can
repeat the words of Goethe at the
battle Of Valmy, From to-day a new
| order OF things begins'!"
Gen. Pershing attended this after
moons session Of the Chamber of
Deputies. When he entered the dip

Gen. Pershng will be a valued
member OF the allied war councils in
the future and will have the oppor-
tnnity to study and witness the vari-
Gus offensive actions before his di-
visions arrive.
On his journey to France Gen. Per-
shlng had an opportunity to see the
efficiency OF the British transport
machine in operation and was much
