was introduced by ]. f. Hatcher,
principal of the local junior high
school.
During the first part of his address
General Hoffman pronounced what
was in effect an encomium upon
France, commencing her for her
brave and unparalleled position in
the war, relating how France was
almost alone in keeping democracy
from being crushed by the onrush-
ing hordes of Huns when the first
American troops landed in Europe
and stating in realistic language the
heroic defense made by the French
army under the ineffable general
ship Of Foch after the one hundred
and fifty thousand British troops
known as the "Old Contemptibles'
which were all that Great Britain
had to offer at that time, had been
practically slaughtered, and had left
the former army alone to beat back
the aggressive imperial army of Ger
many.
The speaker related several incl
dences OF French kindnesses shown
to American soldiers and the love
of the people for the American gov
ernment and American principles.
He stated that upon visiting the
graves of some of the American
dead on Decoration day, 1918, for
the purpose of decorating them with
flowers. he and the party which ac-
companied him found that French
women and children had gone to the
graves during the hours of the night
and placed on them the nations
metal crosses of honor.
Another touching story that Gen
eral Hoffman related was that of a
little French girl who possessed a
small American flag. A party oi
American soldiers teasingly tried to
buy the flag and began to bid
against each other for its purchase
The price was finally run up TO ten
francs when the little girl burst into
tears and exclaimed, mo soldiers oi
America, cannot sell my heart"
"As we honor cur soldiers who
paid the supreme price," the speak
er continued, we must not forget
the sufferings of war stricken France
