President Loabet's Tact.
With infinite tact President Loubet
did not reply to tie Kruger telegram
by anotn1r tele. ram, as is usual when
a message is received from the chief of
a state, but simply instructed the Pre-
feet Of MaIseilles to thank Kruger YER
bally. Thus he avoided officially adj
dressing Kruger in a pubic message.
Travels in Special Train.
President Krugta' lett Mar3ailles at
1920 yesterday morning, accompanied
by his ministers and suite, for the
journey TO Paris. The Lyons and
Mediterranean railroad provided a spe-
cial train for him, under the personal
direction of an inspector of the COM
pany. President Kruger occupied a
drawing-room car, handsomely decor
ated with flowers. A second car was
reserved for the members of his family,
while third was provided for the
representatives of the press. III order
to prevent undue fatis Ie to the Presi-
dent the railroad con0any put on a
new design of suspended co,aeart-
ments. The entire service was admi-
rably organized, including luncheon
served en- route.
Greeting Along the Route.
All along the line from Marseilles to
Dillon, where Kruger spent the night,
the journey was one long, enthusiastic
greeting. Thousands OF people shouted
Long live Kruger" and Down with
the English" at every stco, and the
Boer President seemed carr ied away
with emotion over the warmth of his
greeting, which was really more re-
markaDle than the one at Marseilles,
where the population is naturally en-
tnusiastic by temperament. The first
stop was made at Tarascon, where
flowers were presented and addresses
OF welcome made. At Avignon the
city authorities were waiting at the
station with bands of music President
Kruger was received officially. 1t re-
manned for the City of Lyons to give
Kruger the greatest welcome. Thou
sands Of people were massed at the
railway station and in the surrounding
streets. The appearance Of Kruger was
the signal for mighty roar o. cheer
ing, which swept through the crowd,
and a part of the city authorities joined
in the welcome. Then the crowd took
up the cry, Down with the English"
shaking fists, waving flags, and throw
ing hats into the air. The demonstra-
ton was suggestive Of the popularity
of a war with England, to which the
Beers would not be anxious to provoke
France.
