PARIS, March l-Neon.-At the appointed
hour 10 o'clock the first representative corp.
Of the victorious army entered within the en-.
cients, under the eye Of His Imperial Majesty
in accordance with the programme, favored by
splendid weather.
The 1lth corps, numbering 10000, with
ninety pieces of field artillery and the usual
proportion of cavalry, under the command o.
General Won Boes, advanced IN two columns
one at Porte Neuiiy and the other at Point
| Dujor. The former advanced at n pretty
sharp pace up on the grand army. direct fol
Arc de Triomphe, the French troops vacating
the streets as the Germans approached. The
column entered at Point Duor, below Anten-
r., and commenced to march along the quay
on the north side OF the Seine, direct for thu
Place de Ia Cencorde, where the rendezvous oi
the two columns IS fixed.
The zone surrendered 70 the Germans was
almost entirely free from French. It com.

army of Paris and the Pont du jena. The
triangle was admirably chosen for strategic
purposes, with its right protected by the
Seine
Nothing could exceed the splendid appea.

the armistice seonls to have ebliterated most
