served tribute to the French, and
the cheers that greeted every refer
ence 10 our brave ally indicated that
Tulsa was proud OF France.
when the crowds had gathered In
Convention hall at the cnr OF the
big patriotic parade, a chorus sang
patriotic songs as an Introductory
exercise 60 the speaking While
The Spangled Banner" was
being sung. AdWtaut Arbour
French hero. walked on the stage
carrying the star Spaugled Banner,
and every person IN the hail stood
UP and chcered until he was hocrse.
At the end OF the song there was
clamor for the Fronchmnh to
speak but no declined ana instead
sung tho "Marseillaise. the nation
al anthem " his country
sings with Fire. "
The French soldier put fire and
iron into that impressive piece OF
music, and rcceJyel oau rare tribute

The meeting at Convention hall
was preceded by the biggest parade

resentative gathering OF members OF
every business concern In the city

benevolent orders.

number OF people taking part In the
parade can be made some idea of it's
magnitude can be gained when IL is

hours for the parade to pass any
given point, The line was about I
three miles long
