DEMOCRACY PAYS
HOMAGE AT TOMB
OF WASFIN
Members of British and
French G o m m j s 81 on 8
Place Wreaths on Coffin
Of Father of Country.

Mount Vernon, Va, April 30.-The
flags of Great Britain, France and the
United States floated proudly togeth-
er Sunday over the tomb Of George
Washington. Beneath them, spokes-
men Of the three great democracies
paid homage to Americas soldier and
statesman and pledged themselves,
each to the other in the name of the
dead, to prosecute the present mighty
struggle against autocracy on the lines
he himself had followed in bringing
America into being.
Nature was in her most bounteous
garb. The evergreen, eternal senti-
nels before the tomb, stood out bold
ly in the new life just blossoming. The
only sign of human change since
Washington was laid to rest 30 long
ago was the flags of the three allies
over the arched entrance to the tomb
itself.
EMINENT GATHERING.
In groups Of twos and threes, an
eminent gathering, including the men,
bers of the French and british war
commission, the presidents cabinet
and members of congress, had strolled
up through the sloping grounds from
the river bank until perhaps half a
hundred people stood with barred heads
in a semi-circle before the tomb. The
day. which had been heavy and threat
ening as the party approached in the
Mayflower, suddenly burst into sun
light which played through the trees
on the uniforms and faces of those
assembled.
without formality Secretary Daniels
motioned to NJ. Viviani, minister of
justice and former premier OF France,
who advanced slowly into the center.
Before the tomb Of Washington, whose
efforts towards liberty his own an
cestors hac gloriously aided, NJ. WV
iani delivered an address in which the
whole force of his emotional power.
deepened by the Significance and
sombreness Of the occasion, fought
for expression.
The spectators, though most of them
could not understand French, caught
the suppressed feeling and fire OF the
orator ano followed his words spell
bound and o. he finished, the silence
became supreme with the general real
ization that no applause could express
the emotions aroused.
BRITISH EXPRESSION.
Arthur James Balfour. foreign Sec
Rotary Of Great Britain, followed the
French envoy. Overcome with all
that the situation meant in the lives
Of the two great Anglo Saxon coun-
tries. Mr.. Balfour abandoned his de-
cision not to speak and gave express
sion to few poignant sentences. He
read the following expression prepared
by the British mission:

Ing off their shackles, are not forget

Soldiers who visited their homes
from the front Immediately after the
revolution are returning to fight by
the thousands. All over Russia women
of the villages are shaming them into
returning to their duty demanding
they fight and hold New Russia in her
proud new place in the worlds democ-

strange stories are told by Russian
soldiers back from the front of how the
enemy received the news of Russias

out OF their trenches. The German
soldiers followed. We didn't fire. But
we likewise hoisted our red flag. When
the Germans saw we were deliberately
withholding our fire from their ranks,
under the same red flag as our own
forces, the soldiers themselves stopped
still and turned back to their own
trenches. They abandoned their Of

THE GOVERNMENT JOINS.

Under carbon. few brave spirits
used to meet in remote forests on May
first and in constant dread of the Sc
cret police, would go through the forms
Of a parade under the red flag ut lib
eralism. Today, the government itself
joins.
The Russian calendar is mere than
two weeks behind that in use every
where else on the globe. But in order
that new Russia's idea of world
brotherhood-a "proletariat of all coun-
tries"-it was decided to advance May
day in Russia to coincide with the
rest of the world.
A parade such as Russia never saw
before will be the principal feature of
the celebration in the capital.
