American Officers Pelted
With Flowers By Women
and Children
FRANTIC CROWDS
BLOCK PASSAGE
First Shout Of Welcome
When Train Arrives
Fairly Shakes Station !.
(By Associated Press J

Paris, June 14.-Paris welcom-
ed General Pershing and his staff
yesterday afternoon with an out
burst of spontaneous enthusiasm.
No conquering hero returning
home could have hoped for or re-
ceived such a tremendous recep-
ton as greeted the American
commander as his automobile ad-
vanced through hundreds of thou
sands Of cheering people.
Paris, particularly the French
authorities, had planned for
great reception but it is doubtful
if even the most optimistic pictur-
ed the almost frantic crowds that
all but blocked the passage of the
autos. Men and women cheered
themselves hoarse and flung mass
es of flowers into the cars. Parish
ans declare that the only event in
their life time that approximates
the reception in enthusiasm was
that accorded to King George in
1914. 81.
When the special train reached the
station Gen. Pershing and Field Mar
shall Joffre were the first to appear.
Behind them came q stream OF Ameri-
can officers each with a French officer,
as a host. The first shout of welcome
became a continuous roar that SEEM
ed to shake the station to its founda-
tions. The police hurrfedly began to
clear a lane down which a half dozen
automobiles moved at a snail's pace
between frantic throngs. u,4
From hundreds OF windows Ameri-
can flags were waved by men. women
and children. French girls with flags
pinned to their breasts and their arms
filled with flowers bought from their
scanty savings fairly fought for a
chance to get near enough to the ma
chine to hurl their offerings into the
laps and on the shoulders of the
astonished American officers.
The Americans apparently had not
imagined the height to which Partisan
girls. and even some old women strug-
gled to jump on the car to shake
hands with them.
The demonstration was more sig
nifcant because 1t came from the peo-
pie who for the time being seemed all
most to forget that war was in prog
ress.
It was not Gen. Pershing alone who
came In for unprecedented ovations
for every American, caught sight OF
was almost burdened with flowers.
Crowds shouted themselves hoarse
with cheers for America. From every
from every window, from
every elevation and from thousands
upon thousands who choked every
in the vicinity of the line
Of march, was hurled a welcome that
no American In Paris viii ever forget.

Retreat Over Two Mile

COMMANDING POINTS

Reign of Terror In Russian
City-Zeppelin De-
stroyed
CRy Associated Press.l

The German line in Belgium is
crumbling under the British offensive.
Evidence of this appears today in the
announcement by London of a Ger
man retreat on two-mile front
southwest of Warneton. After wiping
out the Messines- -Wytschaete salient
in the crushing attack last week, Gen.
Pluner continued attacking the Ger
mans from time to time east of Mes
sines and gained ground there. Fur
ther south the British also have ex-
erted pressure upon Gen. Won Arnim's
line.
Having lost the last of the COM
manding artillery and observation
positions in this region when the Mes
sines ridge fell into British hands. the
Germans are finding the pressure at
some points beyond their ability to
meet. One Of the first results has
been the abandonment of important
sections of their first line between
the river Lys and st. Ives.
Gen. Haig announced that the Brit
ish are following the Germans closely
and moving forward east Of Ploeg-
steert wood and near Gaspard village.
On the French front conditions re-
main comparatively quiet. Last night
the Germans, after bombardment, at
tackled French posts in the Aisne re-
gion and northwest of Verdun. The
French easily repulsed these assaults.
