LIEUT. F.J. NASH LANDS AT NEW YORK, SERVED WITH FRENCH

Lieut. Francis J. Nash of this city who has been serving with the French artillery since his return to Europe a few months ago after a visit here at home has reached New York on his way home.

A message received in the city this morning announced the landing of Lieut. Nash in New York. He is expected within ten days. Lieut. Nash was unable to leave France when his brother, Major A.L. Nash sailed for the states, though the two were together in Paris for a time. Lieut. Nash had not received his discharge from service with the French artillery but secured it a few days later and immediately sailed.

Whether he joined Major Nash at New York is not known the message from the two were from the same hotel. Due to the fact that it will not be necessary for Lieut. Nash to wait for discharge here, he may be home as soon as Major Nash.

Previous to his service with the French artillery Lieut. Nash served for a year with the American Ambulance corps in France and Italy and it was while in Italy that he received a commission as lieutenant in the Italian army.

Lieut. Nash visited here some months ago when he was relieved of duty with the ambulance corps and later returned to Europe and sought enlistment with the American forces and later in the French army. While here on his previous visit he addressed two mass meetings at which pictures he had taken in the battle front were shown.
