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. Intima
tion that an agreement whereby the
.. striking telephone workers of the
Pacific coast may return to work

ference with Charles P. Koons, as
