With the recent visit of the delegates
OF the American Legion, Americans in
Paris are becoming more and more in
terested in the approaching visit OF Mar
shall Foch to America. The Marshal has
been entertained extensively by Ameri-
cans recently, and says he is becoming
more anxious every day to go to Amer
lea. He has been present at every din
ner given In honor of the Legionnaires,
and 1t has been noticed that he has
studied them closely and 1t Is evident
that he has become better acquainted
with his comrades from across the seas
within the last fortnight, when he has
had an opportunity to talk intimately
with them on all subjects. than during
his entire period Of association with
them during the war.
That prohibition in America will be
of no concern to the great Marshal of
France, despite the fact that his coun-
try is the land OF champagne, was evil
denced by little incident at a dinner
party given In his honor by Lieutenant
Colonel and Mrs. Francis Drake on
the occasion Of the Lesionnsires COM
pleting their trip to France. There
were twenty-eight Americans at the
dinner, all of whom were taking that
rare opportunity of waxing eloquent
after champagne had flowed only as
champagne can flow, over the greatest
hero Of the war;" ''the man of the
hour" "the soldier Of the world" &c.
The Marshal was being toasted on all
sides in true American fashion as he
never had been toasted before. He is
exceedingly modest and looked as IL
he would like to disappear under the
table after too many compliments had
been hurled at him.
Mr. William Nelson Cromwell, who
vas one Of the guests, had just COM
pieted fowery Grafton and glasses
were clicking Ito the one soldier who
had won the war;" when 1t was sug-
gested that the Marshal should respond
by telling just how he did it. All ears
were ready for q detailed account. but
his wonderful method was given In
only four words. II drink only water"
said the Marshal lifting his glass OF
pare sparkling water. the only glass at
the table minus the bubbles. And thus
the Marshal Of France scored one for
Prohibition In America. 1t was after

at the dinner who acknowledged taste
fer the nationl drink of France that
they were glad that their chief had
given his method of winning the war
with the dessert instead OF the soup.

Nine. Foch May Come with Him.
As the Marshal had announced Official
ly that day that he would go TO America
In October to attend the convention of the
legion in Kansas City when the dcdica-
ton of the $2,000,000 memorial to Mis-
souri, soldiers will take place, he was
besieged with invitations from the wom-
en- that night to bring Nine. Foch with
him. The Marshal probably will be ac-
companied by Nine. Foch, which no
doubt will make the social aspect OF his
American visit OF even greater impor-
tancc. The wives who have visited
France with the legion delegates are
making great preparations.
If Nine. Foch accompanies her hus-
