Our army went forward as to battle. It went forward prepared for whatever might come No brass bands were playing at tlm head of the troops, no flags waving The Americans went up the roads as If the enemy might he around the next turn, for although the armistice has stopped fighting and no one really expects It to start ngaln. we are Ptlll at war with Germany, and If the army of occupation has to start war again, It can do It No conquering general rode at the he.id of our troops Patrols of eight men under sergeants wont first.

S. Medal Interesting Contrasts Between Them Noted By CHARLES H. GRASTY Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger Cojurfanf, IJlf . bv .Vu York Times Cn. Paris, Nov. 1! (delayed.) In a beautiful storied French town which was among the first to experience tho wanton brutality of the fresh and Urluniphant Hun before he was defeated in the Marne battle or mil, i saw .iiar shal Foch today under circumstances peculiarly Interesting to an American. General Pershing came to the Marshal's headquarters to present the first dis tinguished service medal conferred upon any Allied officer by the United Stales. General Pershing, with an aide, ar rived at Marshal Foch's headquarters half an hour before the ceremony. A small company, composed of staff of ficers, assembled on the garden side of the chateau As the two great mili tary leaders appeared round the corner of the chateau, the contrast between them was very Interesting. Both men have marked personal dis tinction, but entirely different In style. Foch swings along with a sort of amble, what military men tall "cavalryman's walk " There's nothing to mark him as a military man. nnd m for his uni form ho might be taken for a lawyer or doctor He has an habitual twinkle In his rye. as If not taking himself, or the great events of which he Is the center, seriously. In his klndh face there seems a touch of humor and satire, and on the day after he had accepted the sur render of the greatest military despotism of the world, ns a result of his own successful generalship, he was precisely tho same modest gentleman I had so often seen coming' and going at the War Office in Paris under vastly different circumstances. General Pershing, who walked at Foch's side, Is the verv picture and pattern of the West Point soldk.-. Ho is as straight as an arrow, and in every movement regulated As the two men walked to the cen ter of the space between the staff and trnar.l nt linnnr nnd turned tO f3C0 each other, every spectator must have felt they were the very finest and highest ype of soldiers of civilization. The bugler of the guard sounded a salute known as the "Marshal's Flours Ishes." Pershing spoke, as usual, wllh line, soldierly force and dignity. Ills French, which by diligent study and practice here he has built up on the foundation of a West Tolnt teaching, showed hardly a trace of accent. The Marshal, In his response, spoke longer than he has ever been known to do before. His remarks were extem poraneous He u full of Are and enthusiasm, driving his points home with that emphasis on words and phrases which the French know ro well how to use.
