INVITATION TO
FOCH IMMINENT
Rock Island Mayor Awaits Action
Of Larger Cities in Following
New York Lead.

An invitation to Marshal Foch to
visit Rock Island in case he comes
to this country upon more preten-
uous invitations is being consider
ed by Mayor William McConochie.
Mayor Hylau of New York has
sent the French general the follow
ing invitation: We owe you a debt
for your part in the triumph of
democracy over autocTacy. On be
half of the municipality l offer you
the freedom OF the city, which is
but a feeble manifestation of our
deep regard and admiration"
Mayor McConochie believes that
many large eastern cities may fol-
low the lead of New York, and that
it is probable that Marshal Foch
will make a trip to the United
States.
The Rock Island mayor will fol-
low any such action taken in the
eastern cities with the hope that in
case Marshal Foch should come
this far west he may decide to pay
this city a visit
