FRENCH HOLD BIG
VICTORY CELEBRATION
Capt. Gibbs Lykes Writes Of the
Thrilling Sight-The French Cock
Crows-Piled Up German Cannon
in the Champs Elysees-Ameri-
cans Made Fine Show.

I wish / had started this letter OF
rather had written it on the 14th
of July rather than the 81, Somehow
even in such short time, al 1.-The de-
tails of the day seem to have faded
away, and the only thing left is most
vivid impression of the whole '1 -
For weeks before the II, It seemed
as if the whole French army was
busy preparing the decorations of the
Champs Elysees, the Rond-Jont and
the Place de la Concorde. OF course
The most symbolic part of the whole
parade was the march under the Arc
de Triumph. You probably remember
that when the Germans marched out
in 1871, they left the Arc de Triumph
surrounded bh heavy chains attached
s to large stone pillars. The. French
had never broken these chains but
had kept them as n symbol of the dis.
agreeable days Of 1870; one might go
even further and say that degrading
days Of 1870.
But l have not described the demo-
rations. At Che Arc de Triumph, in
fact directly underneath it, an enor-
nous altar had been erected in honor
of those "Morts pour la Patric." All
night long, many mothers and rela-
tives of French soldiers who had been
killed in the war, catchcd by the side
tof this altar which was banked with
flowers and on which many many
candles had been placed. This altar
was removed so as to allow the trium-
phant troops to march through from
the Avenue de la Grandc Armee di-
rectly down the Champs Elysees.
From the Arc de Triumph to the
Place de la Concorde, poles had been
placed at intervals Of 20 feet on each
side Of the avenue. These poles were
in pairs and at, a height Of about Ii
feet the shield of France was placed
This was in gold and bore the lot.
tors r. F. for the French Republic
In addition, the allied flags had been
strung on wires extending on each
side, the full length Of the avenue
There we're also electric lights, small
red bulbs every IL inches extending
the full length Of the avenue and the
combined effect was wonderful. Some
of the old electric light plants, small
gasoline motors with generators were

the head of the column was to pass
and already every available spot in
Guiding the lamp posts and the foun-
talns which were not running were
simply covered with people. Our
seats were excellent. They allowed
us to see the troops as they made the
turn around the obelisque and

US, along the Rue Royale. The only
better seats that know, of, were
those who allowed one to see the
troops march under the Arc.
Children Cheer and Sing.
In the distance, in the series of
seats which had been erected for the
school children Of Paris, we received
the first signal of APPROACH Of the
head of the coi~,>2~, the whole stand
broke into mass Of waving allied
flags and the children started singing
the Marseillaise. At this signal, the
whole mass of people in and around
US started cheering and waving with
all their might.
Then came the head of the parade.

Next came the Marechaux and
much to my delight, old Papa yoffre
was right there along. You know for
long time it was ruInored and dis
cussed back and forth in all the pa
pers here in Paris that Joffre would
not be in the parade, but he was. It
seems that somebody was afraid he
couldn't ride and his poor little fat
legs did stand out pretty straight on
each side of the big horse, but Just
the same, he seemed to be going
good when he passed beneath us and

singing every song from the Marscil-
laise to the Madclon, mostly the Ma
delon.
The next morning al o'clock we
started out for the Hotel Crillon
which is directly on the Place de la
Concorde. When we got to the place
we found that there was no chance
of getting through to the Crillon and
had to give it up. BY this time the
whole line of march w~s lined on each
side with soldiers who were there to
keep the people from breaking
through. Finally bright idea struck
us and we went around by the Rue
du Fauberg st. Honore only to run
into a troop Of cavalry which had
been placed there to keep everybody
back. l finally got close enough to
the officer commanding teh troop and
told him that we just had to cross the
Rue Royale so as to get to our places
in the Crillon. 1t was only by per-
suading him that he allowed Colonel
Mathews and myself to cross and 30
we finally get to our places about

not seen one since we used one at
Dun-sur-Meuse to light our Office. This
affects all the description so l will
jump fro mthe Arc de Triumph to the
Bond-Point des Champs Elysees where
think was found the most impress
sive decoration Of the whole.
There, for several weefs, four giant
cranes mounted on trucks had been
busy piling German canons in big
heap on opposite sides Of the Champs
Elysees; first came big nine inch
rifle pointed towards the Champs Ely
sees and on top Of this were piled
scores and scores Of guns; IT'S, 17Os,
z1Os, in fact every type of transport
able field FUN known to the Germans.
Then on top, on the right hand side
was placed a plaster east the French
cock. His feathers were all ruffled
over his neck, and he had on his
fighting clothes; this was marke 1914.
On the opposite side was the same
cock with his head in the air growing
triumphantly; this was marked 1919.
There seemed to be six corners to
the Rond-Point and the other four
were devoted to the four towns; Ver-
dun, scissors, Rheims and Arras.
These carried the date covering their
destruction and really were wonder

even more than the parade. Such

hour people with blankets were TAX

march in order to hold the place all
night and be able to get a good view

FRAUD, FALSEHOOD AND MIS-
REPRESENTATION OF ITS CON-

The Federal Trade Commission has
issued an order to Sears -Roebuck &
Co., Of Chicago, to cease the follow
ing practices, held by the Commits.
sion to be unfair methods Of compe-
tition. nta
- 1. Circulating catalogs containing
advertisements of sugar for sale
wherein it is falsely represented that
because of large purchasing power
and quick moving stock the company
is able to sell sugar at lower price
than it's competitors.
2. Selling or offering to sell sugar
below cost, through catalogs circu-
lated throughout the country.
3. Circulating catalogs containing
advertisements representing that its
competitors do not deal fairly, hon.
estly and justly with their CUSTOM
erS.
4. Circulating catalogs containing
advertisements offering it's teas for
sale in which advertisements it is
falsely stated that the company sends
a special representative to Japan
who personally goes into the tea gar
dens of that country and personally
supervises the picking of the tea.
5. Circulating catalogs containing
advertisements Offering coffee for sale
in which it is falsely stated that the
company purchases all Of it's coffees
direct from the best plantations in
the world.
1t was admitted that the company
has offered sugar for sale at 3 to
cents pound through advertise
mehts in catalogs in which it was
represented that Sears -Roebuck &
Co., because Of it's ability to make
large purchases and move its stock
quickly, was able to sell sugar at
lower price than others could; that
such advertisements were false and
misleading, as the company sold such
sugar at less than cost in all cases,
and the offer to sell was limited to
a definite quantity Of sugar, and was
always made upon the condition that
certain other groceries be purchased
at the same time, and that sufficient
price was received to give profit on
the combined sale.
1t was admitted that during the
latter half of 1915 Sears -Roebuck &
Co. sold sugar to such an extent that
$78O,OOO was received for it, the
sales being made at loss of $780,
900, all of the sales being combina-
tion sales on which a profit was
made. 1t was admitted also that ad-
vertisements were circulated by the
company in which it was intimatel
that competitors were charging more
than fair price for sugar.
The other practices forbidden by
the order of the Commission were ad-
mitted also. ILL.,.
