COMPIEGNE, France, Nov. IL.
French troops and war veterans
today honored the fateful railroad
car which has figured twice
once victoriously and once sorrow
fully-in recent French history.
They did so on the spot where
Hitler danced. The photograph of
Hitler's jig-when the 1910 armi-
stice was signed-is engraved on
the minds of newspaper readers
and newsreel fans of this gen.
Grafton.
A car similar to the one in
which emiSsaries of the German
empire signed their capitulation
in 1918 was dedicated this after
noon with an impressive military
review of the site of the original
armiStice.
About 1000 persons assembled
in Compiegne Forest, about three
miles from here, to witness the
parade and applaud the sacrifices
which brought victory to Allied
arms in World War !.
Only one speaker recalled, and
this very indirectly, that French
emisSaries also came to the same
coach in 1910, when Hitler used
it as a backdrop for French sur
render. Jean Legendre, mayor of
Compiegne, declared the coach
would again be a shrine for vet
Grams of the 1914-18 war.

services was central figure in
the 1910 surrender-Gen. Maxine
Weygand, who sought in vain to
stem the Nazi tide before the fall
of France.
The parade included detach-
ments from the French infantry
air force and veterans organiza-
tions. A group of about 20 mem
bers of the American Legion Post
No. in Paris carried the Stars
and Stripes in the review.
The railroad coach is housed in
a museum-like building just off a
circular clearing in the heart OF
the forest. A table similar to the
one on which the surrenders OF
1918 and 1910 were signed is in
the coach and place cards show
where the emissaries of 1918 sat
There is no reference to the 194C
ceremony. The original coach was
taken to Berlin by the NaZis and
later destroyed in an Allied all
raid.
