LIKENS HIM TO MARTEL

BURGH, Nov. 9.--Marshal Foch left
Cleveland tonight after having seen
that city elect a Mayor who didn't
| speech. Before leaving here he re-
ceived the sixth degree of LII. d. con-
ferred upon him since arriving in
America, and had the local milk strike
broken for him by the police force.
AS soon as he left Cleveland the
milk strike resumed its normal tight
ness. but before his train started East
he had snatched sufficient milk and
. cream to last him end his party until
they arrive in Pittsburgh. the final
stop in this the Marshals first leg of
his American Legion journey up and
down the United States
MIX Strikers Defed.
Probably no incident of the day
compares in dramatic intensity with the
successful defiance of Cleveland's milk
strike. We were all ready TO set forth
for Pittsburgh when C. Z. Mccullough
nor cream on board. Mccullough, who
is in charge of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road train in which the Marshal's tour
has been made, did the obvious thing.
He went to the nearest milk depot, but
there was told that the milk strike had
temporarily depleted supplies Besides.
they said. II would be worth a mans
life to carry the milk IL It were avail
able.
Mccullough tried five more depots.
Their answer was the same. He plead
ed for the Marshal's sake and then be
sought the adarnant dealers in behalf
Of France, of the allies and even men
toned the honor of America. But no
milk was forthcoming. Finally McCul-
Tough tried to soften the milkman's
heart by referring to Theodore, the
Marshars wildcat.
ITS nothing but 81 kitten" he ex-
planned. 1T needs milk. Your fight
is against men, not wildcats. We dare
not feed Theodore meat less he become
savage. You see the interest of the
country is at stake. To have Marshal
Foch bitten by wildcat"
But that argument won no milk.
TELL your troubles to the cops" was
the final word of the milk dealers.
Mccullough did.
Seven Of them manned an automobile
and raided milk dealers establishment.
Ten minutes later ten quarts OF milk and
six quarts of cream were on the Mar
shal's train.
The Days Festivities.
1t rained all day. but the parade and
the American Legion reception were held
in undiminished numbers and enthusi
asn, nevertheless. Charles Thwing,
president OF the Western Reserve Uni
versity. conferred upon the Marshal the
honorary degree Of LII D., and lunch
con was served in the Chamber of Com
nlerce Building. Later a dinner was
given TO the French soldier in the Hotel
Hollenden.
But the most picturesque number on
the programme was staged in Keith's
Theatre. The place was jamned to ca
pscity. The curtain arose and the double
doors in the wall back Of the stage were
thrown open.
In the gloom OF the theatre the OPEN
ing in the stark brick wall seemed like
a motion picture screen. Past this
screenlike opening. through heavy.
gray pail Of fog and slanting rain passed
a band. troop Of cavalry and a COM
pany OF infantry, with their bayonets
CLEANING on the muzzles of their rifles
through the mist cloud.
You could hear the impact OF the shoes
and hoofs. The orchestra was playing.
Rank efter rank passed. and presently a
motor car slid into the picture. 1t
stopped. and as though he had stepped
from the screen the Marshal stepped for
ward and down the stage with his hand
al his cap And then the ghostly pro-
cesson resumed its passage across the
foggy opening in the wall
An actress In ragged red dress. the old
Liberty Cap and bare OF arms and legs,
sang La Marseillaise." The tricolor
and the Stars and Stripes passed across
the open doors az she sang The doors
back stage were closed and the Illusion
was dispelled.
