THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, P ORTLAND, " MONDAY. MAY 31. 1S20. TRIBUTE IS PAID TO GRAVES OF ALL G HEROES N FRANC E Br Edwin Hullinger (t?nitrt Vm. Htaff Oorrwpondmt.) Paris, May Jl. The Stars and Stripes and the tri-color of France flew side by side Friday over every American grave In France, white - doughboys and poilus performed the military honors in a great Me morial day observance by the French nation. There were detachments from the army of occupation at most of the cem eteries, but there were a few remote burial grounds which the American troops could not reach, and oyer these graves detachments of poilus fifed vol leys for their comrades in arms. -BET URN FROM CEftMAST From every corner of France came re ports today of a great, national trib ute to the Americans which made it seem almost as though France had over come for the moment the pangs of losing nearly 2,000,000 of her own sons, to de vote her whole heart to the 70,000 cru saders from overseas. . ' General Allen, commanding the, Amer icans on the Rhine, sent every available soldier back into France In detachments to visit the various scattered cemeteries. The principal ceremonies'' were at Suresnes, where Ambassador Wallace and Marshal -Petain, commander in chief of the French armies, delivered addresses In memory of the dead, fol lowed by a volley from a platoon from the Rhine. General Allen- spoke amid .the beautifully kept graves at Romagne and the regimental band of the Fifteenth infantry played. CHILDREN IOTI AMERICANS General Frank ' Parker was the speaker at Ploisy, General John O'Ryan at Bony, Colonel Cabot Ward at Beau-, mont. Admiral Hum at Belleau wood, and Colonel Sladen and Major Fochet at Chateau Thierry. , Other ceremonies were at Toul, Thla-1 court, Fere-en-Tarlenois, Fismes, Neuf- j chateau. Contrexevtlle. Vittel, LeMatis, St. Nazaire, Dijon. Is-Sur-Tille, Lan- IcreC Rouen, Chalons-Sur-Mame, Tours, k Isevers, Mesves. St. Malxent. Juvingy, Bordeaux, Marsailled, Lie Havre, La Rochelle, Names and Lyons. At every ceremony the French people turned out in thousands, trudging along dusty roads . to bare their heads and pray over the graves of their American friends. It was, noteworthy that child ren were so numerous, almost . every child carrying a wreath furnished by the Red Cross or a simple boquet of wild flowers plumed in the woods and fields over which the Americans toiled and fought. SOLDIERS REMEMBERED The Red Cross in Paris mobilised a motor convoy system which carried most of the. American colony to the nearby cemeteries At Brest, besides decorating the graves, the French erected a huge memorial cenotaph to Oie American sailors burled there. .At Marseilles the merchant sailors In port joined the American colony in the ceremonies at the request of the Q. A. It., and Cleve land Cox placed a wreath on the La Fayette memorial. ' - More than 1,000,000 francs was raised by the Paris American colony, which 1 was spent for more than 70,000 wreaths, or one to a grave. The wreaths were distributed in time for the services. Nor were Vie graveB in Belgium. Lux embourg and along the Rhine neglected. for the American committee had fore- thought of them. ; - Throughout France the ceremonies were official, the government having i ordained a national observance to re- consecrate the friendship of the two ! "countries. Cardinal Lucon of Rheims requested his people to - offer their prayers for the intention of the Ameri cans, i FLOWERS MAKE STATUE The scene at Suresnes cemetery caused the eyes of many disciplined soldiers to blink with tears. Three battalions of French infantry, .four cavalry squadrons and two bat teries joined the detachments of dough boys down from the Rhineland in pay ing homage to the fellows who died for the great cause. Thousands of Americans came to the ceremonies, but they were assimilated by the great multitude of French' peo ple who trudged to the little graveyard atop the high promontory dominating . the Bois de Boulogne, It waa an Indel ible picture these fervent thousands standing under the towering pure white plaster figure of a doughboy rising from a plinth of flowers laid there , wreath by wreath. "TAPS" ENDS CEREMONY President Deschanel's card was among those to be read on the wreaths heaped at the foot of the silent dough bey monument which stood relaxed with rifle at the trail and a flicker of a smile on the handsome features, faithfully watching the sleep of his buddies. The background was a grove along whose edges the drawn sabres and burn ished cuirasses of the cavalry gleamed in the sun. And down the slope, like lilies, the white crosses slowed on the rreen. each wreathed in the tri-color and the 1 Stars and Stripes. ' , , Handkerchiefs hid many eyes as the last volley cracked across the valley and a bugler at the base of the statute blew "Taps." FOLLOW THEIR LEAD The French girls have not forgotten their friends, the Americans, for I saw many of them kneeling before the white crosses, praying devoutly or arranging bunches of flowers on the mounds as tbe column of steel helmeted French troops moved away down the hill at the clone of the ceremony. : "The heroes who lie there," said Mar shal Petain in his, address, "are not in exile, for France is their second mother land. She loves them and she comes to pay them homage today as though they were her own sons." . "We cannot add to the honor won by these men who died on the field of honor," said Ambassador Wallace, "but we can learn from their example and re dedicate ourselves to the tasks of the peace which they died to gain."
