GOTHAM GREETS
FAMOUS CORPS
French Foreign Legion
naires Parade Amid
Cheering Crowds.

New York, Sept. 19.-Eighty-six Of
the Foreign Legion, the famous two
fisted fighters whose reputation is
second to none even among the
heroic battle units of the French
armies. came over the top on motor
buses today and took New York by
storm. Not a shot was fired. but the
acclaim with which the famed fight
ers were received was as noisy as
any battlefield they had trod.
Conspicuous in their gray and scar
let uniforms, and their presence in
America blazoned by an escort OF
police and a naval band. the men of
the Foreign Legion were instantly
recognized. Swift as the breath OF
victory, word swept down Broadway
Of their coming, and by the time they
had reached the financial district
business had been practically sus-
pended. so eager was every one from
banker to office boy to hail their
coming. Pretty stenographers de-
serted their typewriters to throw
kisses and flowers from high Office
windows-both Of which the legion
naires accepted with smiles which
set the girls hearts afiutter. Not
French Blue Devils and the Austria
liam Anzacs exceeded the warmth Of
that vouchsafed the IS citizens Of
many countries who had enlisted TO
fight for world freedom. and every
one Of whom wore decorations for
bravery.
Some notion Of the intrepidity Of
the legionnaires may be gained from
knowledge that the commandant Of
the contingent, which came to Amer
lea to aid in the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive. Capt. Maurice Chastenet De
Gerry, wears a wooden leg in place Of
the right limb lost on the battlefield
and is stin very much in the game.
Along with the legionnaires are seven
officers, including Capt. De Gerry.
A dozen neutral countries are repre-
sented among the heroes who today
took New York by peaceful assault,
including Spain, Alsace, Switzerland,
Chill, the Argentine and other coun-
tries OF South America Their divi-
sion has been cited five times as a
body for conspicuous bravery and
every man has as a testimonial of the
citations a red cord strong across
his shoulder. Each of the eighty-six
has performed three years service or
more and not one but wears at least
one medal.
The legionnaires who represent the
French High Commission are to be
the guests of the city for several
weeks, under the special guardian
ship of the New York Liberty Loan
Committee. They will be feted and
dined and will recount trench expert
ences for the purpose Of stimulating
liberty loan subscriptions. Later,
after visiting other parts Of America.
they will return to the front to show
the Germans again how men whose
hearts are in their work can fight.
The Germans have a wholesome fear
OF the Foreign Legion, traditional
fighters to whom the squeal of
.'Kamersd" does not appeal and who
give no quarter.

URGES BERLIN
RULE AUSTRIA
German Counselor Sommer
Suggests Fuel Military
Control.

Austria has become so much Of a
hindrance to Germany that It is now
suggested that the military leaders
of the latter country be allowed full
management OF the dual monarchy
with authority to deal with the peo-
pie as with the enemy outside Of the
Fatherland.'
This remarkable view Of the rela-
tions existing between the two
countries is attributed to the lips of
Sommer. the German counsellor, ac-
cording to an official dispatch from
France yesterday. In discussing the
reported attempts of the German
general headquarters to obtain mill
tary dictatorship. he said:
"At the beginning OF the war 1t
was necessary, first of all, to make
people understand that right or
morale could not occupy any place in
a war that was to have a victorious
end. The civil government did not
consider this and the disastrous re-
suit has happened; that is, in spite
of so many victories carried off by
our generals, the people no longer be-
lieve in the crushing of the enemy.
The mentality of our subjects has
become such on account of this that
if the army does not soon obtain a
rapid decision, on the Western front
I fear that we shall have to make a
crucial atonement for not having
left the hands of our military leaders
free.
Austria Becomes Handicap.
GAS for one so-called ally. Austria
Hungary, she is nothing but a handi-
cap that hinders our operations, and
it is clear that it would be to our
advantage to leave her to fight it out
alone. Nothing goes ahead any longer
in the double monarchy, and hes In
hahitants. in particular. are showing
a deplorable state of mind. But what
is still more serious for US is the fact
that this state of mind Is becoming
more and more common in Germany.
And the government is doing abso-
lutely nothing to prevent it's gaining
ground. 1t is letting itself be totally
paralyzed by scruples instead of di-
recting public opinion. There is only
one last hope of salvation for Ger
many and that is to let the high
command take complete management
of Austria and to allow it to deal
with the people as with the enemy
outside of the Fatherland."
"The words of such a high func-
ticnary," adds the dispatch, prove
that the warlike spirit is disappear
ing little by little in Austria and even
in Germany and that the demoralized
populations want peace"
