A. j t n 1 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1919. i . j" FRENCH ADOPT THE FOURTH AS EXTRAHOLIDAY Leaden Skies Fail to Dampen . Enthusiasm in Paris; Army Officials Review Parade of Troops. Paris, July 4. Leaden skies dimmed the color but not the en thusiasm of Independence day in Paris, which was celebrated as never before in history. With French public offices and schools closed for the day there was every sign that the French people had cheerfully adopted the "glorious Fourth" as an extra holiday of their own. The celebration started as early as 9 o'clock in the morning, when the vast space of the Place de ia Concorde was packed wjth people to watch the parade and re view of French and American picked troops, marines and blue jackets. 1 , Headed by an American band, Frenoh and American troops, led by General Pilot, commander of Paris, marched past President Poincare and the chief French and American officials. General Pershing stood at the right of Marshal Foch, with Rear Admiral Harry S. Knapp,, U. S. N., at his left. As the columns swung by the crowds cheered the marching men. A solemn note was given the brilliancy of the scene by the appearance of the old standards ,of French regiments which fought with the American forces in the war of independence. After the military review Hugh C. Wallace, the American ambassa dor, and a distinguished company proceeded to the Picpus cemetery, where Mr. Wallace laid a wreath on the grave of Lafayette. In the after noon, virtually the entire American colony met at a reception given by Ambassador and Mrs. Wallace at their home. Speech By Pershing. In his speech at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon, General Per shing said: 1 "Few Americans can more fully and completely understand the sig nificance of this Independence day than those who have lived in France, ' and who have sympathized and suf fered i with' her people. Few can know'better her sacrifices and the significances of her devotion to the cause of civilization. None can know befter the problems which con fronted the American army. "You have lived close to the bat tle lines. You have passed through the dark period of 1918, when you counted the days until American ef forts should develop. You have seen the tide of battle turn and have followed the success of our troops through the final victory. '"This war tias brought about among the allies a common under standing and a realization of com munity of interest that will make for .peace, without which agreements are futile. It is especially important that American residents in France should cherish and perpetuate, as our rep resentatives, those amicable relations necessary to a continuance of com plete accord between our two peo ples. "This meeting recalls vividly to mind a similar gathering two years ago, when, our heavy task lay be fore us. We were then face to face with ..a situation that demanded the best that was in us. True to our tra ditions, we have met it courageously and fearlessly, and we. shall meet the problems that now confront us with the same resolutions and con fidence and the same devotion to our ideals with which we undertook and carried through our part of the war." Agreement to End Phone Strike Believed in Sight San Francisco, July 4.
