METZ AMOS
MOM WELCOME
TO THE FRENCH
Enthusiastic Reception to
Poincare Shows Joy Over
Liberation.
PERSHING IS PRESENT
Impressive Ceremonies Mark
Formal Occupation and
Promotion of Petain.
Metz Sunday Dec. 8. —After giving
hearty greetings to the French troops
three weeks ago Metz today received
President Poineare and representatives
of every branch of the French govern-
ment. The enthusiasm shown was more
p than significant.
In the first surprise at again finding
themselves French the people of Lor-
raine were unable to express their emo-
tions. They now have become familiar
with French uniforms and French music
has been heard every day since the first
entrance of General Mangin’s army.
They have become accustomed to French
occupation which true to the military
spirit for which they are famous they
thoroughly enjoy.
The visit of President Poincare and
representatives of the French govern-
ment meant more than military occupa-
tion. The people of Metz looked upon
it as a sort of official entry into posses-
sion of the city. They approved of it
by the presence of a vast throng that
continually cheered President Poincare
Premier Clemenceau Marshals Joffre
Foch and Petain and Field Marshal
Haig and General Pershing who were
included in the official party that as-
semblcd her" today.
French Officials Cheered.
All tlie bunting in Metz was flying
when the presidential train pulled into
the station a little after 9 o’clock. The
streets were as crowded as it was pos-
sible to allow in view of the space re-
quired for the passage of the official
party.
The girls of Metz wearing their na-
tional costume were banked on both
sides of the street from the station to
the Esplanade. Behind them were
packed men and women carrying the
French flag and wearing artificial tri-
color bouquets in default of real flowers.
Shouts acclaiming the president the
premier and the general officers could
be heard from the Esplanade long be-
fore their carriages appeared in sight.
All around the square of the Esplanade
were great grandstands while crowds
covered the housetops and filled the win-
dows giving the visitors a hearty wel-
come. Marshals Joffre Foch and Petain
r.nd' Generals Pershing. Fayolle and
Gourand received the warmest greetings
wtrea they were recognized by the great
throng.
Baton Presented Petain.
A notable feature was the presenta-
tion-of the baton of a marshal of
France to General Petain announce-
ment of whose elevation to the rank
of marshal was made last mouth. The
erbwd gave a tremendous cheer when
tlie President handed thg baton to the
marshal awl anothM ■ a/ ’ Premier
Clemenceau advanced to give the noted
soldier the accolade. But the enthu-
siasm which seemed then to have
reached its limit took another upward
bohnd when President Poincare em-
braced Premier Clemenceau.
The ceremony took place on the Es-
planade in front of the statue of Mar-
shal Ney. The 131st Regiment of the
33rd Division of the American Army
was drawn tip on one side and the
famous French Marines in front. Other
French troops formed the other side of
the rectangular space.
The American troops had the honor
of leading the line during the review
and the Star Spangled Banner was
wildly cheered as the regiment marched
by in columns of eight in faultless
style. The Marines of Dixmude whose
fame had reached Metz even during hos-
tilities provoked fresh outburts of
cheering as did the passage of various
sections of the troops in review.
The smoke and dust of city life and
the sun and wind of the country spell
ruin for good complexions. But
Resinol Ointment aided by Resinol
Soap repairs the damage done in this
way and helps to keep the skin clear
clean and fresh.

ROLL CALL PLAN IS
TO BE EXPLAINED
TO ALL WORKERS
“Line-up” Luncheon Will Be
Held Tuesday in Men-
ger Hotel.
Explanations of campaign plans will
be made to the Red Cross workers for
the Christmas Roll Call at a "line-up”
luncheon to be held Tuesday at 12:15
o’clock at the Monger Hotel.
All workers both men and women
will be expected to attend the luneheou
which is to be the final aligning before
the campaign. Confronted with thi
prospect of a stringent quarantine
plans for conducting the campaign may
be materially changed and in that
event a plan will be worked out where
workers may Relieve each other in con-
ducting the drive. These considera-
tions with others dealing directly with
the procedure in making the drive for
Red Cross members will come before
the luneheou sessions.
There will be no “spread-eagle’'
speeches according to Albert Steves
Jr. Christmas Roll Call chairman for
Bexar County. Only short simple
statements of what must be done and
the plans mapped out for doing it will
be made.
As planned the campaign will be
brief intensive one beginning Monday
I>ec. 16. and completed by Wednesday
night of the same week if possible to
leave the hundreds of men and women
who have volunteered their services
free for their own Christmas affairs.
Practically every detail is in readi-
ness for opening the drive. Volunteers
wore on hand early Monday morning to
arrange the sorted supplies in envelopes
ready for distribution to the workers.
Posters were ready for distribution and
will be taken over the city and posted
Monday and Tuesday. There are only
a few but each has been painted by a
nationally known artist and each tells
a story. Possibly the most appealing is
a Jessie Wilcox Smith picture in soft
tans and blues showing a typical
Smith baby at a window decked in
Christmas weaths. As a final touch he
is carefully posting the Red Cross flag
showing that two members in the house-
hold have answered the roll call.
Vividly attractive is a Harrison
Fisher Red Cross nurse her army
cape thrown back as she stands before
a mistily drawn line of marching sol-
diers her hand outstetched in appeal as
she asks "Have you answered the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call?”
A third is a snowy Christmas scene
dazzlingly white with the Red Cross
dominating the scene.
With the message “I summon you to
the comradeship" another shows an ex-
cellent crayon likeness of President
Wilson the whole catching the eye with
its simplicity of wording the pleasing
likeness of Mr. Wilson.
