Dense crowds massed be- l hind the lines of guards in khaki, the streets were brilliantly decorated and hung with banners bearing inscriptions of welcome.
 AS the party passed through the people of Chaumont joined in a con-
 tinuous exclamation of the president Rainy Weather Fine! All this part of France lay under a gray cloud and banks of drizzling cold
 rain when the presidents train pulled into the station. The troops declared
 the weather was exceptionally fine. as
 compared with the usual brand of weather, and everyone had a broad
 smile beaming above his ud-bespat- ! tered khaki uniform.
 Things were in motion early for the review When the president raised the curtain of a window in his car. the first person he SAW was a strapping Ameri- can doughboy on guard. who gravely came to salute. The president smiling ly gave him a merry Christmas" and made him the happiest soldier in
 France. A French troop train passing | gave a 'vive Wilson"
