Paris May THE May Day labor festival
passed off amid perfect tranquility. This is
attributed partly to the absolutely oYerWhelm-
ing military force which Premier Clemenceau
and his able lieutenant NJ. Lepine, Chief OF
Nlfce. concentrated in Paris, so that in the
space of twenty minutes forty thousand men
could, in of need have been assembled al
any one of the sixteen strategic points of the
capital. and partly also to the delightful
spring weather. yesterday having been the
Narmest and most sunny day of the year
The great underlying cause, however. Is the
sound practical common of the Partisan
workingmen, and especially of the Partisan
working women and girls, who. the bright
summer sun frightened the fresh green leaves
of the chestnut trees that line the boulevards
and municipal gardens gathered in joyful
bands each woman girl wearing sprays OF
muguets lilies-of- the-valley, and, singing gay
songs, promenaded the streets.

ian women cast ridicule upon the isolated,
sulky gangs of revolutionary socialists which
