DOUGHBOYS OF 'I7 SAIL
 FOR FRANCE "IN STYLE''

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Wartime memories today were revived on the Leviathan, pride of the Am erican Merchant Marine, which, af ter it's seizure from Germany dur ing the WorldWar, helped 10 transport 100000 American sol diers to France. It is again q ''doughboy' ship. taken over by American Legion delegates for the Paris convention.
 Seventeen hundred doughboys of ten years ago are enjoying pala- tial accommodations aboard the ship in striking contrast to the close, crowded quarters of wartime when 10000 damned the vessel on each trip it made between the United States and French ports.
 There is no sailor standing at the elbows of the men with con stant admonitions: You cant stand there, soldier,"
 In short, the one-time doughboy a little older certainly. little stouter, maybe, is returning to la belle France in style.
 The submarine watch will be revived. Only, this time, instead of peering through the mists of dawn or the shades of night fo" hostile submarines. watchers will scan the sea ahead for some trace of the missing airplane Old Glory
 Sailing on the Leviathan was Wartime Chief, Gen. J. J. Per shing, Commander of the Amer ican Armies in France. He de- clared he had the same faith in the conduct of the Legionnaires in France in 1927 as he had when, as soldiers, he sent them into battle a decade ago.
