ANOTHER DINNER TO-DAY
Marshal Refuses to Cut Pre-.
pared PrOgramme-Starts
for Coast on Monday.

Marshal Foch returned to New York
city yesterday to look it over just as
he has surveyed Washington. Kansas
City, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland
St. Louis, Detroit and Indianapolis.
He came back saying that he didn't
have chance the day he landed in
America. On that day all he saw was
huge crowd. The air was so full of
confetti and ticker tape that he saw
the tall buildings as a man sees
through a blizzard
So he came back yesterday much
after the manner of a man who has
plunged into a lake and, finding the
water to his liking, swan around a bit,
only to return to the sprngboard and
leap off again to swim the entire
length Of the lake. After he has spent
the weekend here this indefatigable
Gascon will plunge into America again
on Monday morning and set forth for
San Francisco.
But that's getting away from the
Marshals first real day in New York.
Before he sat down to dinner last night,

steel Institute. he had received delega-

mish of wits, which resulted in an over
whelming victory for the Marshal He
had been photographed at least hun
dred times, had received his thirteenth
American degree of LID, reviewed

children participated. attended lunch
con at Sherry's, placed wreaths on the
Joan of Arc statue on Riverside Drive
and upon the tomb OF Gen. Grant and
Insisted that nothing be subtracted from
to-day's or to-morrow's programme. He
looked trifle weary at the dinner. His
staff was looking for walls to lean
against.

$3.50 yesterday morning, but he stayed
in bed until after 8. Meanwhile a CON
siderable crowd collected in the Penn
