Never in the history of France has. a king or emperor been accordedysuch honors as those rendered the unidentified poilu. The body of Napoleon re- turning from St Helena did not stir the French to such depth oe emotion as did this obscure, name less man.
 Not cheer was heard and not a tear was shed, the five-year war
 ne long since dried up the wells of Paris tears. The silence was respectfully oppressive.
 me most impressive ceremony was at the Pantheon, where all the prominent men of political official and Judicial Paris had assembled Three marshals of France, all the generals prominent in the war and the whole diplomatic corps, with the exception of the German ann nassador, listened to President Mil lerand's speech.
 Addressing the soldiers coffin, President Millerand alluded to. the American soldiers, saying:
 "unknown soldier, nameIes. and lrsIr .rsk gallant muItitudes of poiIus. the dead who lie in cold graves in the soil of Flanders, Champagne, Ver- dun and so many other battlehelds, famous or unknown; young hefoea who came to HIS from the other side of the Atlantic, the British Isles and distant dominions, from Italy, Belgium and Serbia. from all points of the earth to offer your lives for the ideal which France once more is representing, sleep in peace! You have fuIfiIIed your destiny.
 President Millerand ended his ad- dress with tribute to Leon Gam betta, the French patriot, whom he spoke of as:
 "Gambetta, who in 1870 was the great organizer of the national de- fense; Gambetta, who after the treaty of Frankfort awaited the reverence of imminent justice; Gambetta, whose enthusiasm, warmth of heart and whole aspira- ton of soul was on the morrow of disaster, a song or hope soar ing above the ruins; Gambetta, whom my illustrious predecessor called part of the religion of France
 After the Presidents oration the procession took up the march to the Arc de Triomphe. President Millerand walked bareheaded with Marshals Joffre, Foch and Petain in full regalia. following behind battered .155 gun of the model of 1915 bearing the body of the name less poilu.
