 half the population, not only of the city, but of the surrounding districts
 They were attended by President
 Poincare, Premier Clemenceau and
 others among the most eminent fig
 ures inFrance Flowers were drop
 ped around their carriage; airplanes
 winged overhead; guns sounded. But
 observers were impressed with some
 thing more than the magnitude and beauty of the reception by some quail ity of warmth that made it different from the visits to Paris recently made by the Sovereigns of the allied na- tions.
 This is a greater night in Paris tthan armistice night. The city lis
 ablaze with illuminations; the boule-
 wards are thronged with crowds, dan cing and singing and throwing confet- ti. The Place De Laconcorde are
 favorite partners. America is the
 predominating. word here tonight. The imagination an dinterest of France has been stirred by the Pres ident of the United States as no other leader beyond the borders. All class es and parties in this country have united to pay honor to the United
 States throug hits President. They
 greet him as the representative of ideals now dawning upon Europe.
