out with curiosity mingled with in
terest. Those Germans that were met
with the crowds were treated with a
consideration that prevented Incidents
Airmen Drop Flags.
While the crowds were waiting the
arrival of the marshal the citizens gave
free voice to their sentiments in their
newly recovered freedom and prac-
ticed their newly acquired French in
vociferous reclamation OF the French
army and the allies. Signalling the
approach OF the marshal and his ac-
companying cavalcade, airplanes be-
gan flying over the town about /
o'clock and the air was soon full Of
miniature Tn-color flags, which the
airmen dropped.
A little later the cannon of the forts
around about the city, which had just
been taken over by the French artil-
lery began firing a salute OF 800
rounds. The famous cathedral bell,
the motto on which reads. Il announce
justice" gave the signal for the other
bells in the city to peal forth vel
come to "our liberators."
When Marshal Petain appeared on
the esplanade, mounted on fine
white charger and followed by the en-
tire general staff, with American and
British officers attached, a shout went
up that drowned the whirr of dozen
or more airplanes flying overhead and
the crowd surged forward, breaking
tn line of guards in places. to get a
glimpse of the victorious commander
of the French armies.
Still mounted, Marshal Petain, sur
rounded by most brilliant group OF
generals and other officers, took up
his position in front of the statue OF
Marshal Ney to review the troops COM
prising the Thirty-ninth Division Of
infantry, with its artillery under Gen.
Pougin, detachment of the first
corps of cavalry, under Gen. Feraud:
other mounted trops under Gen. De
Boissieutwo escorting squadrons from
the first Moroccan division and de-
tachment of tanks.
The staff of the Tenth Army, which
Gen Mangin was prevented from head
ing because of the accident he had
met with. was lined up directly in
front of the marshal, while Gen. Fa-
yolle, commanding the central group
of armies, stood near the commander
in chief just in front of the Ney sta
tue, which the various superior Off
GERS saluted in passing.
Cheers Greeted Every Flag.
Enthusiastic cheers of Long live
France!" greeted every flag as it ap-
peared The dignity of the reviewing
ceremony, however, prevented the peo
pie from giving free play to their joy.
The case was different in their con-
