As many as can pack themselves in the linar will have the chance to see for themselves, The American Legion pilgrimage of a year ago amounted to a triumphant processin through France from Bor- deaux to Strasbourg. The Grand Chancellory of the Legion of Honor was opened to the legionnaires for a general reception for the first time since Napoleon founded the order i 1802. The national commander of the legion was personally decorated by Marshal Foch. President Millerand of France received the legionnaires in state and Premier Briand delivered the message of welcome when the party was presented with the keys of the city of Parls. A direct result of this first legion pilgrimage was the formation of a French Legion, con- solidated on the model of the Ameri- can Legion from the 145 veterans' so- cieties ‘n France at that time.

BERLIN, May 10.—In a social mense, President Friedrich Ebert 1is probably the most retiring chief of any European democracy. Society. as it Is understood in other capitals -is non-existent in Berlin. The great majority of the old Prussian ° aristocracy have withdrawn to the seclusion of their country estates, They have no desire to mix with the “newly rich,” and the new order of things 1s frankly repugnant to them. Visitors are few at 73 Wilhelm- , and no country cousins stop to gape at the old palace of the erstwhile court marshal which the President of the German Re- public has made his home. Rarely is the ex-saddler seen or recognized in public, and picture ~postals of members of the Hohen- zollern family are more plentiful in stationery stores than those of Fritz Ebert. A formal reception at the presi- dential residence is therefore something of an event in Berlin.
