 At the concluding ceremony late today. Marshal Foch, standing before the altar, but looking over the lower rotunda where lies the body of the former emperor, spoke of the charac- ter and achievement of Napoleon.
 "Sire, sleep in peace" said he, from the very tomb you work tire lessly for France. When danger threatens the homeland our banners tremble at the passage of the eagle. Your masterly lessons, your unre- lenting toll remain deathless exam pies. By study and mediation of them the art of war is broadened. Only in the light of the beams of your immortal fame can future gen. erations hope to follow the science of battles and the evolutions of ar mics in the sacred defense of the homeland
 The ceremony at the tomb was a military display. Military bands rendered martial airs, The famous Garde RepubIique played the repub- hcan air. "Sons are Greater than their Fathers" written after the bat tie of Marengo. Italy, which com pleted Napoleon's campaign jn north ern Italy.

WAGE CUT FUR R. R. MEN UNJUST|F|ED,
 LEADER DECLARES
TRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

CHICAGO, May 5.-Sumnling up the testimony of the railway unions affiliated with the American Feder ation of Labor, B. M. Jewell, head Of the organization today declared there was no justification for reduction of railway workers wages and moved that the wage reduction case before the railroad labor board be dismissed. He presented a review of the charg- es made by the employees of inef- ficiency and financial mismanage- ment by the railroads; the employees statistics on living costs and stand ards of living and the unions rebuttal to the carriers data on outside wages and the cost of living.
 None of the railroads evidence would justify a wage cut, Mir. Jewell contended. declaring "Any argument of reduced living costs is sfurldament- ally unsound,' The only fair basis for wage cut, he said, was on an American standard of living" reit- erating the employees stand that any reduction now would reduce the wag- es of unskilled railway la'oorers to bare subsistence.
 The attitude which should guide the board" he said. lis that any de- cline in prices now should be looked on merely as compensation for the losses sustained by the employees during the war when wages failed to keep pace with the cost of living
 Mir. Jeweh also declared no wage decision could rightfully be made un- til the rules controversy was thresh- ed out.
 The board took a short recess to take up the Big Four brotherhoods at a night session.

 The premier is convinced that in taking a percentage of the values of exports true solution has been found.
 He explained that no tax was placed on exports as such The German government would be required to take the total value of the exports and pay the equivalent of 26 per cent into the separations fund, but the percentage could be paid out of any kind of tax ation Germany should elect.
