the latter grandson of General u. s.
Grant, and several other United States
jarmy officers.
AS the Marshal made his appear
ance on the platform of the car cheers
were sent up by those present and the
"Fighting Frenchman" waved his hand
to those in the assemblage and smiled
real smile.
Through his interpreter the Mar
shal thanked the assemblage for the
cordial reception extended to him and
his party.
The school children of the town in
the majority carried American flags
which they waved as the General put
in appearance and the members of
the University stood at attention while
the train was standing in the sta
ton.
A slip that marred the occasion
somewhat was the fact that welcome
to this World Hero was not given.
Greetings from Newark were hand
ed him as the train pulled out, time
when Au revoir, Adieu, Joffre and
Vive la France would have seemed
fitting and appropriate.
The written greetings given the
Marshal follow:
"The people of Newark, its Off
GERS, it's Public Schools, the New
ark Post of the American Legion,
and the several colleges of the Uni
versity of Delaware, it's Reserve
Officers Training Battalion and the
Vocational Rehabilitation Depart
ment, composed of Veterans of the
World War, present cordial greet
ings to the distinguished Marshal
of France who is honoring the
United States with visit, and ex-
tend to him their best wishes for
pleasant trip and happy return to
the great republic Of France, rec
emily our ally, always our friend"
A "Missal From Kells" was present
ed to Marshal Joffre by the Crafts
men Cleaves and Balling.

The local Chamber of Commerce is
still in it's infancy but already it has
made itself strong in the minds of the
broad thinking people of the town.
This resulted from the Booster and !
Dollar Days celebration of a couple of
weeks ago. Although only about
week old a temporary committee took
charge of this affair and made it a
big success. If this is a forerunner
of what the new organization is going
to do for the town, and all the men,
bers claim that it is, it can plainly be
seen that Newark is in for a boosting
as result of the efforts of it's Cham
ber of Commerce.
