ited the Red Cross hospital at N'eull- j
ly. The President went to the lios- j

ing an hour, but found the hours all j
too short. He expressed regret only |
of his inability to clasp the hand of |
every American boldier in France. |
One of the men the president came
to stood proudly erect with medals I
on his blouse and one arm outstretch - |
ed In an appliance for restoring its

like a traffic policeman on duty.
"I'm glad to see you looking so
cheerful," said the President.
"You have seen me many times be
fore. Mr. President," responded the
soldier. "J used to be a traffic police- i
than at the Grand Central station.
Don't you think I look natural?"
The President laughed softly. It
probably was the only merry mo
ment he had In the hospital.
Another strapping fellow gave his
name as Private Wilson.
"I am proud to know 1 have a
namesake like you," said the Presi- ,
dent.
Proud of llis Name
"It is a very honorable name. X 1
only tried to do it proud," responded i
the soldier.
