 Paris. May 2e P-Captaln Charles Lindbergh was paraded before the eyes of the people of Paris today to such cheers as no man has heard in this city since Woodrow Wilson made his triumphal entry into Paris in 1919.
 It was the first opportunity that the citizens of Paris have had to see the heroic American aviator since his arrival at the Le Bourget flying field Saturday night, for all his in- tervening hours have been devoted to receiving honors from persons in high places.
 Thousands Throng Streets
 Tens of thousands of Frenchmen cheered the young American this afternoon as he was escorated from lis country's embassy to the Hotel De Vile.
 Under the trees that border the Champs Elysees-one of the worlds most magnificent boulevards-the common people of France stood in great masses. waving flags and shouting "bravo" as the slender and unspoiled youth from America was driven past them In a state process sion.
 The place De La Concorde was packed with humanity and so was the celebrated Rue De Rivoli looking out upon the green trees of the Tuileries gardens. beautiful under brilliant Maytime Sun It was a day such as poets and painters have celebrated for centuries, perfect springviiae in Paris. Flags Are Displayed
 The flowers were in fresh bloom and the trees wore fresh foliage. while the tri-color of France and the stars and stripes of the United States fiuttered everywhere. Re- publican guards. mounted on horses, lined the route, while every few feet or so stood policemen holding back the frenzied hero worshippers. The scene was perfect. but the procession was somewhat of a disappointment to the crowds.
 The hustle and hurry spoiled it somewhat for the patient folk who had waited so long for sight of the smiling face of the man who left New York one morning and arrived in Paris the next night. The car in which Lindbergh sat, sped through the Champs Elysee at 20 miles an hour or more.
