PARIS, July 14--France swept aside
the accumulation OF half century's
bitterness and woe today with the
greatest celebration in her history
the victory parade.
Hundreds of thousands Of people
from all parts Of the country crowded
into Paris and cheered the allied SOL
diers in their five mile triumphal
march through the heart Of the city,
1t was the day France had awaited
since her crushing defeat by the Prus-
slams in 1870, and she made the most
OF it.
The city was riot of color when the
$4,000 allied veterans began their
march. flags were flown from every
building and each street appar arenuy
tried to out-do the other in gala attire.
1t was just nine o'clock when Mar
shall Foch and Marshal Joffre, with
their staffs rode past the Arch Of Tri-
umph. AS the parade proceeded the
cheers and shouts increased in volume
until they became deafening. Behind
the famous French commanders were
battalion Of doughboys and con-
tingent Of American sailors. At their
head rode General Pershing and Gen
eral Harboard. They were followed
by Colonels Marshall, Quackemeyer,
and Major Hughes, their aides. In the
next line were Major Generals Hines
and Allen; in the fourth line Major
Generals Lassiter, Hersey. Howse, Le-
jeune, MacLachlin, Langf1tt and
Brewster; fifth line, Brigadier Gen
erals Sladen, Rice, Marshall, Harts,
Bethel, Rossel and Poole; sixth, Briga-
dier Generals Booth, Davis, Craig, Con-
nor. Cruikshank, Walker and McIn-
tyre; seventh line, Colonels Collins
and Knight and Brigadier Generals
Craig, Mccoy, Parker, Ramford, Ne
vile and Moseley.
Fifteen hundred Americans were in
line. Pershing was mounted on a
French chestnut thoroughbred, accom-
panied by group of color bearers.
Behind the Americans came the
other allied troops, the larger nations
represented by regiment and the
smaller ones by a color guard. Field
Marshal Haig and General Robertson
rode at the head Of the British con-
tingent.
The French section, by far the larg-
est in the parade, comprised represen-
tatives of every military district in the
country as well as of every branch Of
the army. Marshal tetain, Generals
Mangin, Humbert, Lyautey, Gouraud
and other famous French military lead
ers were in line.
Preceding Marshals Foch and Joffre
were band Of girls from Alsace-Lor-
raine, strewing flowers gathered from
all parts of the republic.
The marchers came smartly to sa-
lutte when they passed the great
cenotaph-a pyramidial structure sixty
feet high. erected in honor of the falle
allied soldiers. This was surmounted
by a winged Victory and bore war
trophies of all the allies.

DAYLIGHT LAW
UP IN HOUSE
Presidents Veto OF Agricultural Bill
to be Taken up as Soon as
Session is Called to
Order

[United Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Whether
President Wilson's influence can
maintain daylight savings, was ex-
pected to be decided In the house to-
day.
The presidents veto of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill because 1t
repealed daylight saving next Octo-
ber, was to be taken up as soon as
the house convened.
Advocates Of the daylight saving
plan had been working feverishly to
line up enough votes to make sure
that the presidents veto will stand.
Some opponents Of the plan believed
they could pick up enough republican
votes to override the veto, but this
view was not shared by all the lead
ers.
Chairman Haughen Of the agricul
ture committee, said If the veto was
not overru1ed the president would
have to accept the political respon
sibility for the saving plan, which
brought such bitter opposition from
the farming districts.

toward Joffre, who comforted her.
'You kiss her." said Joffre, as he
turned to Foch.
mo, the honor Is yours" Foch re-
piled and walked away as Joffre
kissed the girl and chatted with her.
1t was estimated that four millioon
persons witnessed the victory process
sion, which consumed two hours in
passing. During that time an unend-
ing roar pierced the air, the result
of cheers from millions of throats
combined with the boom of guns and
shrieks from whistles.
