Prior to tt war American visitors to France were largely touriets who mingled | exclusively with other tourists, courters, guides, hotel servants, stores, art galleries and cathedrals, ‘They saw nothing of the inner Iife of the French people t when they traveled through the cou by train or Ly! p motor car, they progressed with the epeed of # ho: ward bound suburbanite—with a Baedeker in one he and a sandwich in the other. From such as these the United States gathered quantities of misinformation about France and the French people. At this time there are in France, in clos with the French, both on the field of battle and im the citfes and villages and homes of the people who have been left behind, approximately 2,750,000 Americans, Ancluding soldiers, workmen on military projects, Red Cross, Y.

These American visitors have no time to devote to art galleries—which are closed anyhow—cathedrals and historical points of Anterest.
