FRANCE CHEERS U. S. IN ROSTAND'S

Special Ktcitlso Ltdaer corretpondrnt In roiire,
H'opyrlirM. :17, ly rubllo Ledger Company
Special cabltgram io the Evenimj Lcdicr.
PARIS, April 16.
EDMOND ROSTAND, of the French Academy, has entirely rewritten his
famous "The &ong of the Stars," which he published in J915, recasting
it to sing to the praises of the United States and to pay tribute to the
American nation, to President Wilson, to Colonel Roosevelt, to Walt Whitman,
o Edison, to Franklin und to Lincoln.
The distinguished poet lead hin poem this afternoon in the Sorbonne
amphitheatre before a notable assemblage, including cabinet ministeis and
an Audience of seven thousand pcisons.
The leading followed the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by
the Republican Guards Band,
Rostand personally invited your conespondent to a scat at the ttibuno
and extended to him the privilege of the first publication in the world of
the poem, which is six hundred lines in length and considered here the most
important war lltcrntuic yet produced in France.
I nm cabling at this time twenty lines of this poem, which treated wild
enthusiasm as Rostand read them. He was accorded n ttcmondous ovation
as he concluded the verses. The ovation continued for sevcrnl minutes, the
wnlls of the dignified old Sorbonne echoing with cheers for Ameiicn und for
President Wilson.
The translation uf the twenty lines of the poem follows:
The stais sang out from thcit field in the beautiful flag;:
"We are the symbols of Progress, its glorious glow,
Born of the stars which your frigate of old
Woic in the wounds of its sails, Rochnmbcau!"
Flushing, they fcuns: "Lincoln should never have died
While there is canker of slavery left on the earth;
Whitman, nt thought of a star standing neutral in war
Would be shaken with hot indignation and mirth.

Never gets on your nerves
And it's a man's smoke, too. Made
from genuine Havana mellowed by
age alone fragrant and full-flavored.
Smoke Girards whenever
you please and as often as you please.
There is no come-back, no "dopy"
sensation, no "hang-over." Noth
ing but satisfaction. And you can
see the difference in your feelings
right away.
Doctors recommend Girards and
smoke 'em, too.
Shade-grown Havana 10c and up.
For the sake of a clear head and steady
nerves smoke Girards - and smoke your
first one today.
