E. F. to erect a monumen- tal conerete stadium 3,000 miles trom home shores for the benefit of of Inter-Allied Games, June 22 to July 6. The historian of the future who tells how the structure was rushed to completion in an amazingly short time, on the eve of departure of the Americans from Europe, at the hands of engineers, pioneers and doughboys in Khaki, in spite of delays and diffi- culties which are inevitably connect- ed with an. engineering feat of such proportions, will present a narrative with as many elements of romance as the striking chapters in the Ameri- can war Story. While the ground was donated by the French, and the original plans were drawn by French engineers, the completed stadium will be as en- tirely and genuinely American as the Commander-in-chief of the A. E. , Whose name it bears. ‘The money for ‘the work, about 600,000 francs, was furnished by the Y.M.C.A. Pershing Stadium will in shape resemble an enormous horseshoe, and will have a seating capacity of 22,- 000.. Along the south side of the field the grandstand extends in a straight line for orle hundred meters, with a seating capacity of 2,300. This is the only part of the stands| ‘ which will be covered and it will con- tain the boxes which will be occupied by notables during the time the games are in progress, from June 22} to July 6. This “Tribune d’Hon- neur’” will be flanked on either side by other stands.
