Another thing which idded to t?:e
excitement on this day was perhaps
three or four dozen aeroplanes of
several different kinds, pulling tt
very stunt imaginable up in the
air above us; some coming dreadful
ly close to the ground; others flying
In all manner of curves; some going
very, very high and dropping In co-k

Interesting to stay there to see, ex

would head the other way and go on
towards the Madelene, a very large
Id and beautiful Catholic church. I
supposed it would be easy to turn
nd go directly from the "Place de
la Concorde" up the "Hue Royale1
r "Street Royal" directly to the
church mentioned, but I had to fol
low the crowd and I did manage to
stay on the "Rue Royale" and a
"Jam" worse than the one of which
I spoke In the earlier part of my let

erowi for one hour going about four

Set out and struggling, and I saw
more than one pitiful sight again of
Id rnd yotnig folks being crushed
ana n!p!er3. Tney say there were
a great many caualt'es on thl af
ternoon. and I did notgot aa far na
the Madelene; I manHKed to aquocKc
out fii.d get Into a little side street
which was a little better, but not
much. I soon moved on around on 1
truck the boulevard further down
and moved on towards the "Y" and
went to pet me a little supper a little
later un the crowds were larger
than on Armistice Day now on the
boulevards, so I turned in early. 1
fen like my previous experiences
were enough, and I surely was glad
to have the opportunity to lie down
and take a good rest. On this even
ing people confined themselves to do
ing a lot of dancing, too, on the
treets; here and there would be a
violinist with a bunch of 100 or 200
folks dancing; another place would
be a fellow playing an -accordion, an
wner piace a manaoitn. ana so on
everywhere; ond still they were also
marching and parading up and down
the streets, and with all of your cel-
ebratlous over there .which 1 under
stand outdid anything In history. I
doubt whether you had anything to
compare with the carryln'-on thai
took place over here. And so it was;
I could go on and tell you a lot more
but it would be a big story, too bTg
In fact There were thousands of
little things happened that one could
aot tell about in a letter, owing to
taking up too much space, ajjd, too,
s lot of things one did not see. Of
ourse every evening since, it seems,
there have been little Jollifications
and Impromptu dances, etc., which
an be laid to the effect of the sign
ing; of the armistice.
Then along came Thanksgiving
Day. King Edward of England was
bere. it was a rainy dismal day and
I didn t make any special effort to
ee him except towards evening I
did try to see the two sons of the
King; princes they are. but on ac
count of the crowd and rain, I did
ot stay long to wait for them; they
were to be at the British Soldiers'
Ana Sailors' Leave Club at 4 p. m.,
which Is In the Republlque Square,
but I walked on up to the "Y" as
. was coing to get in on their Thanks
giving dinner which was to be served
-at 1:10 and I had my reservation
which we hesr so much about and al
ways expert back In that good old U.
A. A. The dinner was very nice,
and I had my second piece of pie In
France, a piece of apple pie a la
mode, which could almost be put In
a thimble. It was simply an aggra
vation, but we are thankful for small
favors over here,, you know.
I must tell you that the other oc
casion on which I received a piece
of pie in France was on Halloween
night. At the "Y" they gave a Hal
lowe'en party with the usual black
ats, lighted pumpkins, etc., with the
wlerd-looklng fortune tellers, ana l
had a real, hones-to-goodness piece
of pumpkin pie;, also a couple or
cheese sandwiches, and a cup of cof
fee. The boys all appreciated this,
from the way they acted, and you
know I did, even if I "wan't craiy
about pie" back In the U. 8. A
Thanksgiving Day fell on Novem
ber 28. and the following week the
king of Belgium was here with his
wife and a daughter, she being called
princess. The people here declar

great many people were lined up
along the route where they were to

and some more rain, but this does
not seem to affect Parisians in the
least, and they were out in great
numbers, so I was informed
Now the next, a very great and
Important event, took place on Sat
urday, the 14th day of December,
1918 called in France, "President
Wilson Da", and it was a wonder
ful day a day never to be forgotten
and while I am going to give you a
few little details regarding that day
from my observations, I couldn't do
It Justice either; that would be a
difficult thing to do; It would be hard
for anyone to describe the reception
which was given "Our President ,

next morning, when I awoke and
looked out of my window about 15
minutes to 7, indications were the
cloudswere breaking away, it was
warm and the feeling was that it
was going to be a grand and glorious
lay. I got ready, and at 8 a. m. I
left the "Y . went down and got a
bite to eat, and went to the "tube
station, and on up to the "Etolle
(meaning Star) station; this is
where the Arch of Triumph is locat
ed and Is a wonderful monument
erected a good many hundred years
ago. I came out of the "tube" f4a
lion, there to find an immense
throng of people, but I headed on
down the "Avenue Bols du Boul
ogne" as I had noticed in the paper
the day before that all militarized
civilian employees, such as 'he Y. M

assigned a place down on this evi

to the "Bols du Boulogne" which Is
a big wood as the Parisians call it,
but I call it a beautiful city park; I
found the place and I was early
enough to be in the front row right

French Chausseur who was one of
