The Shields-Wayman controversy which everybody discussed at the Buffalo convention had reached its high point the week prior in a student...
...Champs! The coffin was carried from the Embassy to an open hearse, while a French infantry band played Aux Champs! (To the Fields!)-the sad yet stirring air which moved so many at the funeral of Marshal Foch...
