UNDER THE STARS AND STRIPES—WITH AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE

Stories of American Troops on Road to Front
Told by Lincoln Eyre, with Pershing's Army

It was one of the most dramatic scenes in the world's history when on that twenty-seventh day of June, 1917, the first American Army that ever crossed the seas to Europe stepped foot on the soil of France to join its allies in the war to "make the world safe for democracy." America at last was repaying the debt which it owed France when she crossed the Atlantic to fight with Washington's Army in the American Revolution. The historic scenes are described by Lincoln Eyre, who was attached to the Joffre commission on its tour of triumph in the United States. He is now with the American Army as war correspondent for the New York World, with whose permission this record is made. Copyright, 1917, by Press Publishing Company.
