A port in France which teems with Yankee troops has a brief alley named the Street of American Vic- tory, says Collier’s. More than one youngster in khaki has wondered by what prophetic instinct such a name was given to such a street more than a century ago. : A local historian argues, however, that there was no thought of 1918 last year found them a paying|and its events when the Bordelais potter Hustin gave his wife’s name Victoire to the cul-de-sac. ‘Hailing from Martinique, Mme. Victoire was known to the town of Bordeaux as “Victoire ’Americaine ;” by the time of the French“revolution the street itself was called “Victoire-Ameri- caine.” d Probably many a passerby. in 1800 assumed that the Street of American Victory had been so named to com- memorate the American war of inde- pendence. In 2000 the passerby will imagine that the street - was named in honor of what the American army accomplished in the summer or fall of 1918. Anyhow, one may hope so.
