General Dun,0nt's Departure WIIL
Be Cause for Regret IN Capital

French Officer Has Made
Many Friends During
His Long Stay in This
Country
w as hington will say
"adieu" officially but Eau
revoir" personally to Gen
eral Georges A. L. Dumont,
retiring Military Attache of
the French Embassy, when
he leaves the end of this
month to- return to France.
For the genial and dashlng
French officer with the i'm
pressive "moustachios" has
won the friendship and lik-
ing of many during his years
of residence in Washington.
However, his knowledge of
America and Americas ac-
ouaintance with him are not
confined to the Capital. During
his long service at the French
embassy he has travelled the
length and breadth of the coun-
try-rnany times on tours OF
inspection of Army posts, many
times to address conventions,
and many times because OF gen
eral interest in the country.
He is second perhaps only to
the former French ambassador,
Jules Jusserand, in his famil-
iarity with the life and customs
az the United States.
