tory in nrsrory's greatest conflict. Since going to America late in Oct ober, Marshal Foch has travelled nearly 15,000 miles, made more than 300 speeches, attended luncheons and banquets beyond computation and has heard the voice of America from upwards of 17000,000 men and wom- en and children.
 Has Crate of Wild Cats.
 He has travelled over the wide ex- panse of the American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the inland to the gulf. He had also trod the streets of the principal cities of eastern Canada.
 Everywhere he had received gifts. Here is was an honorary college de- gree, there a medal of gold or trln ket or two, and wonder pet or a flower or maybe just wee token of esteem, admiration and love. He be- trayed the fact with the receiving of each of the gifts that his heart was touched, and each one was with him today when he boarded the liner Paris for home.
 His luggage included a score and a half of parchments, attesting he had been accorded honorary degrees by Americas leading universities and colleges. There was one crate full of mountain wild eats of the bob tailed, splitting but not very dangerous type, presented by American Legionnaires. Another crate contained a white Chester pig from Iowa, also a Legion gift. There was a whole box of med als anG medallions, a golden and be- leweled sword in a golden scabbard; gold headed cane and a half dozen or so of loving cups. A union brick layers card was to be found also m the marshaIs possession.
 An Indiana Geranium.
 The sword, gift of the French In. stitute in America, bore the arms of the United States, of France and of the institute. Enriching the hilt were seven sapphires, the handle was a carved ivory and was inlaid with the marshal's golden monogram. Crow Indians had dubbed the marshal Warrior of the Warriors" and made him full-fedged chief. The Sioux, once the terrors of the northern plains, gave him a war bonnet, bee slowed only upon the bravest of brave, and called him "Chief Watak- pech Wakiya" or Charging Thur der"
 And out in little town of Indiana where the marshals special train stopped for few moments--he re- celVed from wan-faced little wom' an a potted geranium.
 Take it," she implored, "and plant it on the grave of my son. He fell near Soissons.D
 The geranium has been carefully preserved and will be planted by Marshal Foch is his own garden "in honor of the son of the little woman of Indiana"
