Tho other column, entering at Point du Jour,
below AHteuil, comraened to march along the quay,
on the north side of the Seine, direct for Place de
Ia Concorde, where the rendezvous of the two
columns is fixed. The zone surrendered to tho
Germans was almost entirely free oil French.
Nothing could exceed the splendid appearance
of the troops, who turned out in as perfect order
as if on the parade ground at home. The chief
thoroughfares were quiet, and but few persoas
were about. From to A. NJ, the shops we're
closed, the windows shut, and the aspect of the
city desolate. The Nationales are posted on
every avenue, with lines of septries across the

avenue leading to the Champs Elysees to search
the streets branching therefrom. Not the slight

infantry and cavalry only were in the advance.

The Germans are astonished at the mournful
aspect of the city and the deserton of its streets
