_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.
