Writes For Qreeiis

19,

In late August of 1938. I was
standing in the newly finished maritime station In Cherbourg. France,
waiting for the Europa to bring me
back from an absence of a year. A
middle aged German and his fifteen
year old son were standing beside
me. The boy looked at the harbor
and exclaimed. "It's so beautiful,
it's frightening!" The father smilde
bitterly but didn't reply. It is difficult to start life anew in a strange
country.

There was a stir among the hundreds of people. The Europa was
sailing majestically into the harbor.
The ship's band, standing on the
port side, was playing "The Sambre
and the Meuse," in compliment to
France. A few Frenchmen sang the
words. "It is we who guard the
access to French soil." As the ship
drew nearer the band drowned the
feeble voices of the singers just as
a few years later their panzers and
mechanized forces overwhelmed the
spirit of a country which had been
great for a thousand years.
I often think of that last look at
the coast line as the ship sailed for
home. Oh, well, I would see it in '39!
I now have hopes of seeing it in '46.
People ask me what I expect to find
on my twentieth trip to Prance.
Many friends, returning servicemen,
tell me what I'll find. No two agree.
I expect many disappointments
and heart aches. I will look and
fail to find many friends In the
villages, the cafes and the universities. Among them will be many
people who were visitors in France
like myself. But among the French
I expect to find the same kind of
people I learned to know and ad

mire

Fismes.

the Argonne Forest. St. Michel and
Thlacourt.
Last Time I Saw Paris
I have often told about the last
time I was in Paris. I took the Subway to go to the station. My eye
caught a gummed label still sticking on the back of a seal "Remember that the numbered seats are
for the mutilated of the war."
Before the scars of one war ars
healed another one more fierce and
bloody is fought on the same soil!
I have often been asked a3 to what
was the most pleasant experience in
Prance. I believe it was In 1333. Thst
year I represented the University of
Kentucky at the ywh anniversary
of the founding of tin- University
-

Poitiers. A reception was held at
which all delegates presented greetings from their respective universities. Practically every university in
The;
the world was represented.
greetings were presented in order;
and many greetings were presented
between the University of Bologna,
Italy and the University of Ken
tucky. To the historically minded,
the reception was held in the sarr.e
room in which the learned doctors
of Poitiers tried Joan of Arc for
witchcraft more than sixty years before Columbus discovered America.
What a force for peace the combined efforts of all those universities could have been throughout tha
centuries!
I have known France at war. at
work, at play and fn her desire for
peace which cost her the most
humiliating bondage in modern history.
