CHATEAU 7HIERRY IS

Men Who Fought and Bled

Famous Field

Chateau Thicrry, France, Sept. 20
Copyright 1927 by United Prcss)
Some 700 Yanks and their wives
made a sentimental pilgrimage to-
day TO the Marine salient to wander
in peace where the men had charg-
ed and crept in war
There were so. 900 American cas-
ualties during the three months
fighting in the area visited.
In this little town where the ma
rines smashed through the German
lines the people seemed to have
forgotten. One would have thought
this would have been a gala day for
Chateau Thierry. It was not. The
town paid no attention to the visit
ors. Old men We're fishing and the
women were washing up the river
side which was redeemed by Ameri-
can blood in June, 1918. They
merely stared curiously
Mellow sunshine bathed the coun-
try side. The pilgrims strolled in
search of unforgetta places and
scenes etched in their memories I'M
der conditions vastly different. It
was noticeable that the men were
pensve with thoughts of nine years
ago.
The Yanks arrived in a special
train and 90 bus LOADS of them scat
tered to the various spots where the
visitors had fought.
They found if hard to believe to-
day that this salient once swarmed
with several hundreds Of thousands
of men trying to kill one another.
The war seemed far away and un-
real. Nearly all the towns have
been reconstructed. Most traces of
the war have been erased.
But, at Belleau Wood it was diff
farent. There the grim reminders
of war remained. Yanks eagerly
sought the fox holes and trenches
where they had lain nine years ago.
NJ. ]. Griffith of Philadelphia,
spent seven days in the wood as a
strctcher bearer. He found his
trenches today.
Harvey Wells, a marine of Louis
vile. X, was at the front here for
81 days. Wells found and photo
grained his fox hole.

his hope to enlist every personal aid
at his disposal to put Mexican
American relations on a stable basis
before he leaves the White House.
In the opinion of the president,
he major difficulty with Mexico
hinges on a direct issue whether
American property in that country is
20 be ContisCated under the new
Mexican land and oil laws. To this
questions he feels that Mr.. Morrow
is no stranger. Mr.. Morrow is Il

abroad.
With congress out of session Mr..
Morrow selection becomes effective
at his own pleasure although if he

ton will be necessary ultimately. The
