HORDE OF FRENCHMEN
DESCEND ON COCOA
(Associated Press)

former doughboys recalling it's diff

had a sympathetic feeling for some 80
French cooks and walters who were
stranded overnight here recently.
boulevard" French, however, was of
no avail in these peace times and
sympathy was about all the veterans
could offer.
It seems the French contingent was
en- route to Miami Beach where it was
to make up the "a la" of tourist ho-
tel menu. For some unaccountable
reason chefs and walters piled off the
train at Cocoa many miles north of
their destination. Some of the tribe
claim one of the train crew called
miami" At any rate it was not Mi
ami and the train did net tarry along,
pulling out amid the vehement gesti-
cuIations of the Frenchmen.
The leader of the party inquired
for "Mons. ST. Johns" to whom the
men were to report at Miami. The
chef de gare, who incidentally was
without the attire and authority of q
French station agent, nodded his head
gravely. Others about the railroad
station became lost in the maze OF
foreign entanglements and gradually
withdrew. Finally the word was pass
ed around that there resided some
where in the town a wise man, one
who had attended a university. To
his house the garcons hurried. Arous-
ed from his sleep the linguist served
the purpose and telephoned to Miami
Beach where he told the Frenchmen's
plight. Automobiles were gotten to-
gether and about daylight the rescu-
ing party arrived in Cocoa to find the
walters clustered about the depot in
no amiable mood.
They didn't shout "viva la Cocoa
either, as they rode away.
