• Poincare addressing the troops later,
said that he had witnessed their de

felt that events were ever bringing'
the French and.. American peoples
closer and closer together.

ially selected the date to pay his first
visit to the American troops. He in-
spected several American Barracks
and- billeting quarters in French vil-
luges and then left to view some his-
torie spots on the Marne battle-field.
The French president’s visit was
marked by democratic simplicity. He
was dressed in his familiar blue knick-
erbocker suit with leather leggings
and wore, as usual, a simple - blue
yachting cap. The review was held on
the top of a plateau in the American
training area and when President
Poincare and his party arrived early
this morning the troops were drawn
up at attention in regimental squares,
a formation which seemed—wonderful-
