OF FRANCE HONORED
Five Thousand Attend Gala
Performance Given in
Their Honor

Paris, April 19.-t4.SO p. m)-Five
thousand wounded soldiers and thou
sand nurses were treated today at the
Troeadero to a gala performance, such
as usually is reserved for royal Wis
itors to the place. In addition Pre-
mier Yiviani delivered a notable ad-
dress in which he declared that France
purposed continuing the war until mil
itarism was crushed and Europe liner-
ated
The Trocadero was crowded At ]
o'clock by cheering soldiers who had
arrived in ambulanees from all the hos
pitais around Paris. President poin-

ambassadors of the allied powers We're
present
The best singers and actors in Paris
took part in the long programme.
which opened with the singing of tie
national anthem, which the allied sol
diers loudly cheered No such enthu
slasm had been witnessed in Paris
since the war began as when the
French flag was brought on the stage
during the rendition of a patriotic play
called "The Soldiers of France Ems
lish, French, Belgian, Moorish and Al
Eerian soldiers and marines mingled in
the audience Officers of all the armies
of the service filled the boxes. All en-
Enthusiastically cheered and saluted the
flag again and again.
It was at the end of the performance
that Premier Vviani delivered his ad
dress. He said:
"Why have all these heroes given
more than their life in an heroic ar
dor of which modesty heightens the
grandeur? They know that their sac
rifices are anonymous-that if they fall
their death VIII be unknown. But they
know that life is not the supreme her
itaga-that the supreme heritage is
honor and Independence. It is in graf
itude for such services and sacrifices
tina the nation attaches itself more
strongly to, the ombatants-captive
and dead.
"France is ready for every sacrifice,
the same as are her allies fighting 81
her side fer the right and whose he-
role soldiers salute. So long as she
must fight France will fight. She viii
consider, with her allies, the eventual
ity of peace only after having repulsed
the AGGRESSION from Belgian territory
and restored her own integrity, the ter
ritorial unity broken oy the common
effort to crush militarism and liberate
Europe.
"That she owes to her history. to
her past to her honor. 1 will add that
she owes it also to those of her chill
dren who are bleeding, dying and who
think, indeed. il is not at the foot of
q hecatomb that a precious peace can
gpring"

than my name. and many are not aware
that l established this place of business
in 1902; but | have been practically en-
gagged in the monument business here
since 1896, and | wish the public to know
that L am wholly responsible for my ar
ticle published in The Age-Herald last
week. This is the third year that | have
called the publics attention to the condi-
tons of the monument business here
through the lack of birmingham peoples

people are ready to think that | am the
only dealer that is complaining, but not
so. l am forced to say that we are all
in the same boat, and that in many in
stances we have called ON some OF the
prominent business men of Birmin CHAM
who were in the market for monument
and who informed us they were not inter-
ested and declined to even let us submit
designs, and in few weeks would place
the order with New York state firms.
L beg to acknowledge that since the pub
LEGATION of my article in The Age-Herald
last week L have received letters of en-
enlargement from some of the members
of the Chamber of Commerce. | am
proud to note they feel an interest and
will endeavor to cooperate with the mon

articles are 10 reach those whom the shoe
viii fit and to whom it will not fit it does
not belong.
1t has been a long felt desire Of the
Birmingham monument dealers to Coop
crate with the Birmingham cemeteries,
as 1t is our earnest conviction that these
men connected with the cemeteries can
either build up the monument business
In their city by their recommendation and
cooperation or they can destroy tho eff
forts of any or all monument dealers in
their city. Yours respectfully,
