FRANCE AND BELGIUM.
Paris, July 24. King Albert, President Poincare and Marshal Foch paid a visit to Ghent Replying to an address by the Municipal Council, Pre- sident Poinedre mentioned the dignified attitude of the people of Ghent during the German occupation, proving themselves worthy sons of the old, gallant burghers who never failed to resist oppression. -President Poincare and Marshal Foch visited Malines and were received at the Cathedral by Cardinal Mercier, who, greeting France: as represented by President Poincare, said there could be no better expression of Belgian sentiments towards France than we love France". President Poincare compared Cardinal Mercier to the old Bishops of hye-gone times who stopped the barbarians, being the protectors of the cities. Enthusiasm reached a climax when Pre sident Poincare decorated Cardinal Mercier with the French War Cross-Hazas.
