Paris rejoiced in such full meas

The city's millions crowded the

fresh from the trenches, or to gaze
aloft at the greatest aerial parade
of fighting machines that has ever
been held.
Nearly every building in Paris
was festooned with the tri-color.
The route of the parade was liter

The days celebration began at

There President Poincare, Marshal
Joffre and all French ministers
with a group of distinguished
army officers and Maj. Gen. John
j. Pershing, representing Frances
newest ally, stood in review.
Before them passed 5000 of
Frances heroes. Not one of this
great body of men was without
decoration on his breast. Some
there were whose medals literally
covered the upper left side of their
coats. They bore reverently and

the day for gallantry.
