sidewalks packed with hundreds OF
thousands of bareheade people.
Only the soft sobbing Of women
broke the impressive silence that
signified best of all the new France
that is emerging from the world war
The ashes reposed on a caissor

draped with flags. Behind came an
escort of cavalry, and then the car
riages bearing President Poincare
members of the cabinet senator's
deputies, city councilmen and other
notables. A parade on the Esplan
ade followed the arrival OF the re-
mains at the Hotel Des Invalides
and President Poincare made a brief
address sto the great crowd that
pressed in about the building. Many
members Of the diplomatic corps at
tended the final ceremony.
Until 8 o'clock this afternoon the
