"The St. Mihiel operation was

At the Foch party neared the exit
of the huge station, torch flares were
lighted and held high, while other
larger flares from the heights of the
park tent a flood of light over the
entire plaza. A band, struck up the
"Marseillaise." and while the mar

away to the accompaniment of a
barrage of flashlights.
Heroes In Spotlight.
A search light, placed on the roof
of a tal building diagonally across
from the station, held the two world
heroes in its beam as a mighty cheer
arose, swept across the throng,
rolled up the densely peopled slopes,
