The new IA. E. f." Is In France
on mission much unlike that of the
A. E. F. Of 1917-191S. The new forces
are only $50 strong. They comprise
members of the American Legion who
are touring the former battle sectors
this summer as guests Of the French
government.
Every state and every branch of
service is represented In the peaceful
new A. E. F. They sailed from New

pilgrimage was John G. Emery, the
Legion's national commander. For
mer commanders Franklin D'Olier and
Henry D. Lindsey were present.
Arriving at LeHavre, the citizen ex-
petition was received with great eciat.
after which it proceeded to Paris I'M
der tow of French officials. From
Paris the party set out by special train
for BlOis to attend the dedication of
the Joan of Arc statue presented t.
the French city by the Joan Of Arr:
Committee of New York.
While at Blois, the veterans invaded
the old headquarters Of the army re-

the doughboy as the ''benzine board"
Here the Americans staged burlesque

tenders has received them with arms

cordially of the receptions. At Bor-
deaux, the Legionnaires received the
freedom Of the city" from the high
officials. From there they went to
Tarbes to visit the birthplace Of Gen
eral Foch.. They placed a memorial
tablet upon the house that first shell
tered the famous generalissimO.
The former fighters were impressed
by the rapidity with which many OF
the ruined towns have been rebuilt.
Some Legionnaires have gone over the
exact location where they fought the
battle of liberty and where many OF
their buddies fell in action.
Probably the most impressive GER
emory participated in by the Ameri-
cans was the dedication Of the Flirey
monument This memorial is tribute
to the vaiOr Of the doughboys who
delivered the little town Of German
occupation. Flirey is familiar ground
to many American soldiers. 1t is on
the ridge which was the main line
Of resistance of the old TOul sector.
1t was at FIlrey that the Eighty
ninth, from Kansas and Missouri, went
into conflict. Seventeen American
divisions fought in the vicinity Of the
little town, which itself was occupied
by regimental headquarters Of troops
holding the line. -
At the close Of their tour the Legion
men will go to Paris where they will
have three days A. w. o. L.. after
which they will sail on their return
voyage. The party is expected to re-
turn about September Is.
