GENERAL PERSHING
HoMEWARD-BoUND
Foch Pays High Tribute to Great
Leader Of American Forces. !,
Be Made Full
General.

bfeSI, sept. 1.--GeneraI John j.
Pershing. commander of the
American expeditionary forces,
sailed from here today on the
transport Leviathan for the Unit
led States. The steamer left port
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
/ Marshal Foch came aboard the
transport shortly before she sail
ed and made feeling address to
the departing American comman-
der.
In leaving France" said the
marshal, lyon leave your dead il,
our hands. On our soil we will
care for them religiously and zeal
ously, as bearing witness of the
powerful aid you brought us.
These dead will bring from Amer.
lea many thoughts Of remem-
brance and pious visits, and will
bind still more strongly eur al
ready close union.
Recalling with emotion the
hours we have lived. together
some of them full Of anguish,
some olorious-I am struck hard
in the heart in passing with you
the last moments Of your stay
among us. On your arrival, ynn
said: La Fayette! We are here!!'
Allow a French soldier Of today
to return thanks to you and in
few words recall the work you
have done for the rights and IL
herty Of the world"
General Pershing, at a meeting
with Representatives CT the French
press this morning bade farewell
to the journalists. He made this
statement:
More than two years ago I ar
rived in Paris with a small group
of officers and men as the adj
vance guard Of our army. Since
that day vast host Of Americans
have come to France, lived among
her people and returned to their
homes. = s~zx.f
If it is possible for different
nations to understand each other,
then we feel that we carry back
with us an appreciation Of France
and its people, its art and its cul-
ture. Our soldiers found their re-
Taxation in Paris, along the rivers
of the Pyrenees and in the noun
tains. They have shared with the
peasantry of France
their joys and sorrows; they have
fought, suffered and died beside
the poilus and reioiced with them
in the final victory. Such ming
ling Of people in common cause
is unprecedented in the history Of
the world. In taking our depar-
ture we have one regret-that the
people who have formerly known
rs only as guests and visitors, are
knowledge Of the home
ife Of the Americans.
"None Of us will ever forget
hat period Of the war when Amer
lean forces were assembled and
-rained for battle under the pro-
lection Of the armies of France
md England, holding the enemy
1t bay. Nor will we ever forget
hat moment of the struggle when
We found our opportunity to join
With the world in the second bat
lie Of the Marne.
All this is now past; but it is
lpon the past that the foundation
# our future relations must rest.
n saying goodbye to France
which we have come to love so
yell-I feel assured that as time
,oes on we shall regard those days
# comradeship and struggle more
md more as an everlasting bond
between our peoples. =

ATLANTA, April 14.-American SOL
diers returning from France have be-
come so accustomed to goats milk in

farms in the state; and it is alto

In France daily milk vender makes
his rounds delivering goat milk Just
as cows milk is delivered in this

milk is the nearest approach to

HAVE
CLOSE CALL IN
RURAL WRECK

A miraculous escape from death in
an automobile accident occurred Sun
day afternoon at the junction of the
Andersonville road and the road lead
ing to Souther Field when a large
car, filled with Montezuma people, was
struck by another car driven by a
party of negroes and rolled over sew
eral times, without any of the occu-
pants being seriously hurt. Two of the
party, woman and a child. were re-
ported bruised, but not dangerously.
The Montezuma car contained
members of two families, named Rich
ardson and Cheeves, according to
fragmentary reports. 1t was travelling
north on the Andersonville road when
the car in which the negroes were
riding, which was travelling east at
considerable speed, struck it in the
side, turning it over.
The negroes car was said to have
been driven by son of Zack Daniels
well known negro living in that Sec
lluH' AS SoOH DIS tHe occupants Vi
this car realized what had happened
they leaped out and fed. Mr.. Richard
son gathered up his party and brought
them to Americas in the negroes car
which was then turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Summers. The party proceeded
to Montezuma by train, after having
their damaged auto brought to local
repair shop.
