"Blue Devils" Visit
West Point Cadets
Veterans Greeted by Commu-
mites Throughout Trip
Up River

The Blue Devils went to West Point
yesterday. They travelled up the Hud-
son by steamer. Communities on both
sides of the river saluted them with din
OF whistles and church bells.
Soon after noon they reached the
landing. Officers of the Military Acad-
emy came aboard and had lunch with
them. They were Colonel Samuel E.
Tlllman, superintendent Colonel Guy
". Henry, commandant; Major William
Canoe, post adjutant, and Colonel f. J
Tlmberleck, post quartermaster.
After eating the French soldiers went
to the parade ground. The American
flag and the French flag rippled from
the staff. From the west barracks
poured nhalanxes of gray-clad cadets
three battalions of them.
The French soldiers stood at atten-
tion throughout the exhibition drill that
followed, but did not miss detail cf
it, Then they went through some
man@uvrcs of their own, ending with a
song that brought applause from the
cadets and melted the formality that
had prevailed
