story of President Wilson's inability

Reed. TT exposes the many mis-

FRANCE WILL HELP
Nation Mourning Over 70,000
of Our Dead.
Plans to Pause Tomorrow to
Honor YankS.

Paris, May 2e.-France, herself
mourning two million dead, will pause
tomorrow to do homage to 5000
American doughboys buried in her
soil.
Over the graves of men who fell
in defense of civilization, the friend
ship between the French republic and
the United States will be reconse-
Grated.
The government has ordered ma
tion-wide observation of Memorial
day. Headed by Marshal Petain,
French troops will join American SOL
diers in military ceremonies in many
parts of France. Civilian companies
have been organized in many cities
and towns to decorate the graves of
American dead.
The French people have donated
large sums for flowers to be placed
on the soldier graves. Troops from
the Rhine area are being brought to
France. Poilu and doughboy squads
will sound taps at all the larger ceme-
teries. The archbishops of Rheims
and Lucon have ordered prayers to
be said turnout their dioceses for the
American soldier dead. Hundreds OF
relatives of the buried doughboys have
pilgriIaaged to France to pay respect
to their lost loved ones.
One of the most impressive services
will be held at SuseFens cemeteries
where Marshal Petain and American
Ambassador Wallace will deliver adj
dresses
