Now Coming Back.

And now at last the French are COM
ing back; the Verdun road Is already
crowded with those American troops
who are bringing back French rule, the
forts on the circle of hills above the
Moselle are silent today, but from them
French flags and French JOY firing will
break out on Sunday. In the famous
little square Marshal Foch, the victor
Of the Marine, will salute the statues Of
Marshal Ney and the prince Of Moskwa.
Another slavery like that OF the children
Of Israel in Egypt Is ending.

OF Metz and Strnssburg will be more
than signals to the enslaved peoples Of
the two provinces that the day OF glory
has arrived; they are a final evidence
to all mankind that settlements by the
sword are of brief duration.
