A French newspaper, the France da Nord, also paid a Hne tribute to the allies In "The gNiliant bearing of the men," it stated, "their gaiety, good lucks, muscular appearance, as well as their splendid conduct, are of happy augury. One company goes by whistling the another marches to the pipes. A wonderful Invasion!" Troops Get Hearty Welcome In Franco In their contact with the French people, the British soldiers were at first a little self-conscious and awkward.

They did not understand a cheering, flag-waving, flower-throwing country, where the girls rushed out at the entrance of every village to kiss the marching warriors. But they quickly grew mure responsive, accepted flowers to stick in their buttonholes or to wreath, around their caps, and gave baoz cluw for cheer. Very-few of then oould speak a word of French, but they got along excellently, nevertheless. They swarmed Into postcard storts and tobacco shops and were Berved by smiling attendants, JUDGE FREIFELD TOASTMASTF.It. be a silent war; the people and the press maintained patiently, of their own accord, the conspiracy of silence.

When at last the censorship was raised on August 18, the London Times made the following statement to its readers: "So long ago as August 8, one of our special correspondents sent us a particular account of the preparations at Boulogne, France the quaya and harbor buildings cleared, the troop trains in waiting, the French reservists in their red breeches, mowing grass and clearing woods to make great camps. Not a word of this news did we allow to reach our readers. A few days later and we could have accurately described these camps above the port, crammed with British troops, their enthusiastic reception by the French people, who yet, characteristically, had a little laugh ready for certain peculiarities of the British uniforms; the arrival of General Sir Join French on board the scout Sentinel, and his reception by the Governor of Boulogne. Subsequent days brought further details, the story growing little by little Into knowledge. News, accredited or otherwise, was constantly trickling through.

Yet, save for one or two trifling exceptions in less reputable quarters, not a hint of it found Its way into the English newspapers." Everyone Helicd to Maintain Secrecy. The people In the southern counties EARLY DRAMA OF WAR STORY. The Rev. V. R.

Wiitxin, Judge Ken-worthy and Others Dcsrrllic Mr. Shcrcr's Masonic Career. Soldiers In Expeditionary Force Knew Not Where They Were Going. Warm Greeting in France. A dinner was given last night at the Hotel Savoy, Fifth avenue and Fiftv- ninth street, Manhattan, by 150 Free Masons gathered from near and far, to William Sherer, manager of the New Yotk Clearing House, Tast Grand Mas- 3 ler of Masons of the State of New York, and Past Master of Anglo-Saxon Lodge of Brooklyn.

The occasion of the dinner was Mr. Sherer TTth Judge George Freifeld of Brooklyn, who sefci.ifa to divine their needs and wished then, good luck In language that could not bo misunderstood. In the restaurants and cafes of Boulogne they mingled freely with the French soldiers. The spirit of cordiality that prevailed showed that the "entente cordlale" was something more than an agreement between diplomats and politicians. At one table In particular each British otliccr was found to be sitting between two French oflicers.

(Special to The Eagle.) London, August 21 A British expeditionary force, stated unofficially to exceed 100,000 men, landed in France during the second and third weeks in August and marched to the support of the French and Belgian forces before Namur. This is no longer news, but tlw manner in which the embarcation, transportation and disembarkation of the men was achieved forms one of the most interesting chapters in the earW history of the war. There were no cheering crowds to see them go. The soldiers themselves did not know their destination; the transports that conveyed them sailed under sealed orders, which were not opened they were thirty miles out at sea. The newspapers, although they were informed through private channels of what was going on, said nothing.

The military authorities of England anl France had decided that this should Grand Master of the Grand Lodge oi New York State, acted as toustitiaster, Introducing tin speakers in the course of the evening.

They may have guessed but they did not know where they were going and asked few questions. On August 11, King George himself went to Aidershot to say goodbye to the Expeditionary Force. He was received by cheering thousands, hut his farewell address was not published. A printed letter from Lord Kitchener, as Minister of War, was distributed broadcast among the troops. It must have fallen into the hands of many reporters, yet was not published until the word went out that the public might know of the first British invasion of the Continent since Waterloo.

A stirring account of the reception of these khaki-clad regiments that came this time as the friends of France was given in the Paris edition of the Daily Mail. "The finest troops that England haf ever sent across the sea," wrote the correspondent of that newspaper, "are marching through the narrow streets of old Boulogne in solid columns, thousands upon thousands of them, roaring as they pass that new slogan of Englishmen: 'Are we downhearted? Shall we win? Ye. e-e-e-e-s-s-s-s! Every man is in the prime of life, not a youth or stripling among them. Their shirts are open the front, and as they shout you can see the working of tile muscles ol their throats, their wide open mouth. and rows of dazzling teeth.

Every movement spells fitness for the field, for long marches by day and longer nights In the trenches, for hard fighting and rough living.

On each card there appeared: Name; Address; Telephone Number; Name of Buyer; Date of Last Order; Details of Last Order. "With the cards before me, I called several customers by telephone, referred to the last order, inquired if it had been satisfactory, and with this as an opening I asked for more business. "The plan was so successful that I called in my best salesmen, carefully drilled them, and put them to work at the telephone. By means of this systematic telephone canvass we not only got enough business to keep all our men busy, but we had to work overtime."
