Doughboys Find Progress Hard in France
Paris January 7 Several thousand discharged American soldiers remaining in France to seek their fortunes face a tough frontier. A few become wealthy, some report progress, but most pioneers struggle as they carve new paths with limited organization to connect and exchange ideas. The standout tale is Gerald Kiley and Harold Fitch who formed The Fox Trot Kings of Paris, organized dances and a Wilson Welcome ball that netted substantial sums, and launched the Dixies Ice Cream venture. Others married French partners and entered farming dairies or tailoring, with several earning more than in the United States while working with French fathers-in-law.
