PARIS CELEBRATES
ANNIVERSARY OF
j. s. INDEPENDENCE

Paris, July 4.-Leaden skies dimmed
the color but not the enthusiasm of
independence Day in Paris which was
celebrated today as never before in
history. Indeed, with all the French
public offices and schools closed for
the day, there was every sign that the
French peaple had cheerfully adopted
the GLORIOUS Fourth" as an extra holi-
day of their own.
The celebration started as early as
8 o'clock this morning, when the vast
space of the palce De La Concorde
was packed with people to watch the
parade and view of French and Ameri-
can picked troops, marines and blue
jackets. Thousands of the uniformed
Americans, brought from the various
centers in motor trucks to the Esplain-
des Des Invalides came marching
across the Alexandra bridge into the
De La Concofde, which was elabor-
ately decorated Each city represen-
| ted there by statue had sent flowers
to beck it's memorial.
Headed by an American band
French and American troops led by
General Pilot, commander of Paris
marched past President Poincare anC
the chief French and American off
Gals. General Pershing stood at the
right of Marshall >Foch, with Real
Admiral Harris Knapp, U. S. N. at
his left. AS the columns swung by
the crowds cheered the marching men
| The decorations for the celebration
of the signing of the peace were in
place and these were reinforced fol-
today's occasion by thousands OF
American flags. A solemn note was
given the brilliancy of the scene by
the appearance of the old standards
of French regiments which fought
| with the Americans forces in the war
of independence. These were brought
from the hotel Des Invalides, and
were assembled, with guard of honor
at the entrance of the Champs Ely
sees.

occasion. There was not the con-
trast of yore-when some rich mans
daughter outshone in gorgeousness
Of apparel her rivals, or some poor
mans pocket book was strained well
nigh to the breaking point that his
daughter might appear to as great
advantage as Dives daughter.
Then the flowers were not so law
ish in the June of 1919 as they were
a decade ago. A girl graduate with
out flowers would be somewhat akin
to Hamlet without the melancholy
Dane-so there were flowers, too,
just enough to harmonic with the
spirit of the occasion, and not too
in one girls arm and too few in an
others to cause either regret or ella
ton.
America began acquiring the thrift
habit several years ago. She began
it unconsciously. The war opened
the eyes of thousands who had re-
fused to see before that cataclysm
was added to history.
Then came the war savings cam
paign that found most hearty sup
port in the schools. Many quarter
and many a five dollar bill that
might have been swallowed up in
lavishness or perishable flowers or
in the gorgeousness of a too prepos-
sessing graduation gown went into
Uncle Sans Golfers, while the pupil
has start on a savings account and
a thrift habit that will endure thru
out life.

with good many impositions, re-
