Seventy-eight. May 15, 1918. Dear Old Girl. - I have been out on tour today with a party composed of three newspaper men and a Yale professor. By great good luck we drove up to an aerodrome just as the ceremony of decorating some new heroes was about to begin. Troops both French and American were there to help put on the show. They were in line in front of a long line of aeroplanes drawn up wing tips almost touching. As the French General and his staff came on the field an American band played "The Star Spangled Banner" and then "The Marseillaise."
