The American Legion fellows have discovered
that this excursion to France on their own is a
heap more expensive than the one Uncle Sam fur
nished ten years ago. Evidently the boys are not
using canned willie, gold fish and vim blanch this

personally conducted one while this one is rather

We surely must admit that we
